Questionnaire to ask “mention three names of scientists you know” and “three names of engineers you know” was conducted and the answers from 140 adults were analyzed. The results indicated that the image of scientists is represented by Nobel laureates and that of engineers by great inventors like Thomas Edison and industry founders like Soichiro Honda. In order to reveal the image of engineers among young generation, questionnaire was conducted for pupils in middle and high schools. Answers from 1,230 pupils were analyzed and 226 names mentioned as engineers were classified. White votes reached 60%. Engineers who are neither big inventors nor company founders collected less than 1% of named votes. Engineers are astonishingly invisible from young generation. Countermeasures are proposed.

【技術者が見えない】 若者が進路を決める際に重要になるのがロールモデル。特定の人物に憧れて"その道"を志す人も多い。 しかし工学分野においては、ロールモデルが絶対的に少ない。中高生が思う"技術者"に、一線で活躍する人はほぼなし。 技術者がもっと目立たなければ! https://t.co/Ff9VNC7ild https://t.co/3GswNuZ67K
