Nicole’s Answer

Hi Arolys P. I see that you posted this question a little while ago so I hope my answer to you (or others who may read this response) is still helpful.

Interesting that you would pose this question. One of the many reasons I decided to pursue an engineering degree is because it was a field in which after 4 years (on average) in college study, employers would consider me as a professional, ready to take on important work.

I agree with all of the previous answer provided. I would also add that most people who are successful engineers will admit that "being an engineer" is a life long journey of learning. Because there are always new technologies emerging, people with strong problem solving skills, which many engineers have, become interested in learning how new technologies can help them and/or their companies move faster and/or innovate better.

For those who decide to pursue an engineering degree, I encourage them to enjoy their journey and remain open to the benefits of continuous learning. Best of luck to you!

Abdelhakim’s Answer

Typically you need at least a Bachelor's degree to be an Engineer ( 4 year degree after high school). Some engineers have a masters degree
you can either start engineering school right after high school or start with a community college and then transfer out to a 4 year school( university) to continue the major.
Note that some community colleges do not have engineering majors, so please make sure you ask about the list of classes that will be transferred to 4 year school so you do not have to retake classes after the transfer.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, Hakim
