john’s Answer

If you are aspiring to become an engineer, spend your time taking courses, even outside of school, in woodworking, small engine repair, working in an internship at a company that builds or repairs equipment. Depending on where you live you could look for a company nearby that builds something, like cars or appliances and ask to intern or even just job shadow someone for a week or longer. Pick up a hobby such as building wood model sailboats or planes or maybe even buy blueprints to build a small sail boat or even a canoe. It will give you mind exercise in figuring things out, looking ahead and paying attention to details as you mold an build something.
