Hi,
It is great to hear of your interest in mechanical engineering. A great foundation for this career is math and science classes. Mechanical engineers also would need a college degree. Mechanical engineering also has many focus areas, so you can pick the area(s) that you find the most interesting. Some examples include: Thermal systems/fluids, Mechanical Structures, Materials, and Automotive design. I personally have a mechanical engineering background and have enjoyed many years as and engineer/engineering leader in the automotive industry. It is and exciting field to go into. Best wishes as you explore your future career options.

Hey there! If you're interested in becoming a mechanical engineer, it's an exciting path. First, you'll want to focus on your math and science classes in school. These subjects are like the building blocks of mechanical engineering.
After high school, you'll need to go to college and major in mechanical engineering. During college, you'll study lots of interesting things related to machines, how they work, and how to design them.
It can also be helpful to join clubs or teams related to engineering or science in school. This shows your passion for the field and can look great on your college applications.
Once you finish your degree, you can start working as a mechanical engineer. It's all about learning, growing, and enjoying the journey. So, keep asking questions, stay curious, and who knows, one day you might design some amazing machines!
