00:12.140 --> 00:14.980
Okay . Yeah . Well , we came to Folsom

00:14.980 --> 00:17.258
High School this morning to talk to uh ,

00:17.258 --> 00:19.420
the engineering class . It's a class

00:19.430 --> 00:21.319
from freshman two seniors who are

00:21.319 --> 00:23.486
exploring engineering . The Sacramento

00:23.486 --> 00:25.374
District , which I'm the district

00:25.374 --> 00:27.430
engineer for is basically a civilian

00:27.430 --> 00:29.560
organization . We have Almost 1200

00:29.560 --> 00:31.560
people . Probably half of those are

00:31.560 --> 00:33.740
technical people , engineers or

00:33.740 --> 00:35.962
scientists . They got to have some sort

00:35.962 --> 00:38.129
of technical education in order to get

00:38.129 --> 00:40.129
some decent jobs coming up in their

00:40.129 --> 00:42.351
future . It's the more math and science

00:42.351 --> 00:44.407
and engineering , the more options ,

00:44.407 --> 00:46.351
they have more flexibility . I was

00:46.351 --> 00:47.962
happy to see this and I like

00:47.962 --> 00:50.018
engineering . So it was kind of just

00:50.018 --> 00:49.570
all together for me . You know , I

00:49.570 --> 00:52.380
enjoyed it . A lot of take as much math

00:52.570 --> 00:55.540
and science as you can pull on the

00:55.540 --> 00:57.762
string through attention on it and lift

00:57.762 --> 01:01.180
this off . It's really important to get

01:01.190 --> 01:03.720
students excited about engineering and

01:03.720 --> 01:05.831
the science is not just engineering ,

01:05.831 --> 01:07.831
but any of the sciences . We're not

01:07.831 --> 01:10.053
producing enough engineers , not enough

01:10.053 --> 01:11.942
scientists , not enough technical

01:11.942 --> 01:13.776
people really meet the needs for

01:13.776 --> 01:15.998
America in the future . Everybody ready

01:15.998 --> 01:19.830
123 , love to get out and talk to

01:19.840 --> 01:21.951
young students and inspire them to be

01:21.951 --> 01:24.007
engineers And really prepped through

01:24.007 --> 01:26.173
high school to go into college , ready

01:26.173 --> 01:28.229
to study an engineering program or a

01:28.229 --> 01:27.960
science program
