- [00:00:00.000](upbeat orchestral music)
- [00:00:04.600]Engineering has changed and will continue to change
- [00:00:08.251]and I think at least at UNL we're putting more
- [00:00:10.565]of an emphasis on not only giving students
- [00:00:13.166]the technical skills to be able to solve problems,
- [00:00:15.738]but giving them the non-technical skills they need.
- [00:00:18.335]So we're training engineers to work together in teams
- [00:00:21.244]and we're training them to work with business majors
- [00:00:23.645]and with other outside engineering majors
- [00:00:26.907]from other colleges.
- [00:00:28.152]We highly encourage our students to try different things
- [00:00:30.896]because this is one of the only times in their lives
- [00:00:32.980]where they have the freedom to do a lot of different things
- [00:00:36.049]and they have the opportunity to have a variety
- [00:00:38.040]of different experiences.
- [00:00:39.392]For me teaching is probably the most rewarding thing
- [00:00:41.969]I've ever done.
- [00:00:43.728]I get to work with bright, young, ambitious engineers
- [00:00:48.059]who are very motivated.
- [00:00:49.650](upbeat orchestral music)
- [00:00:51.885]For me engineering is systems thinking where you have to
- [00:00:54.238]understand how everything comes together
- [00:00:56.157]and works together.
- [00:00:57.885]And then you have to be able to apply what you've learned
- [00:01:00.569]both technical and non-technical skills
- [00:01:02.676]in order to come up with a solution set.
