How do I go about creating my own Company in the Engineering Industry?
Being enrolled in the Drexel Co-op program has given me the incites that I am grateful for experiencing before I enter the workforce. As I near the end of my last Co-op, I have realized that a 9am-5pm job is not for me. Being self employed has always been a dream of mine.

Hi Jonathan G. 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.
Admittedly, I am positively-biased when it comes to Drexel (:)) as I have quite a few friends who graduated from that school. That aside, how cool for you that you got a chance to participate in the Drexel Co-op program!!
In terms of how you get started, my suggestions include, working in an engineering firm to understand not only the technical aspects of the job but the business aspects. Also, consider working for an engineering firm where you can build a relationship of trust with company owners and clients and take the lead on pivotal projects. To be clear building trust...not a short term endeavor but it can pay lasting dividends and is worth time and effort. At the end of the day, whether it is for your business or a company you work for, your clients expect lasting and positive results. For sure be clear on what slice of engineering you want to build your business in.
Hope you find this advice helpful. Best of luck to you!

It is a great idea to create your own company. Start by thinking of the problem that you want to solve by your service or product and then think how you want to go about providing value to your customer.

Starting a new company is always a dream for many. Have you identified area which you like to get started? These days youtubers are the most easy ones without stcking to a particular time. Vlogging is another way. Try to find what you like to do? Learn more about the existing market and competitors. Slowly understand the Pro's and Con's of each and try to resolve the common challenges.
