How many Physics courses do you need to major in engineering?
Engineering is a major I'm interested in, however, I don't enjoy physics. I want to know if I should avoid majoring in engineering because of this dislike, or if I just have to get through a few physics courses in order to still be an engineer. #engineering
What are some mistakes that engineers make in their early careers?
I want to know what to look out for when I start working. #engineering
Do all Engineering fields require 4 or 5 years of college?
Some colleges we've visited have leaned more towards 5 years, suggesting first year is when you really are deciding on a Major or considering changing course. Has that been anyone's experience? #engineering
What would you recommend a college student do to prepare for working in the real world?
I'm going into college and want to make the most of my time. #engineering
What activities were you involved in college that you think helped you get your first job after college?
I am looking at going into Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and I have found there to be many different research projects or school clubs/events that I could join and wondering which would be the most beneficial. #engineering #electrical-engineering #mechanical
Do engineers have to be really smart?
I know that engineers are problem-solvers, but do they have to be really intelligent? #engineering
Does the chemical engineer have a broader field of work than a normal engineering job such as a civil, architectural, or mechanical engineer?
I would like to know how many different areas I can go with chemical engineering if one doesn't work after I get the degree. #engineering #chemical-engineering

What are the best value colleges for an engineering degree?
I'd like to go to a good school for engineering (it doesn't have to be the best) and spend the least amount of money possible. What good schools are also affordable? Which ones are most likely to give me (a woman interested in aerospace engineering) the most scholarship money? #college #engineering
What are some tips for majors/careers that require lots of math for someone who doesn't like math the most?
I am a current high school student who is thinking about what I want to major in in college and also what I want to do with my career. The topics of engineering and economics interest me but they both require lots of math. Math is not my favorite subject. #college #engineering #career...
How do you know if becoming an engineer is the right career field? What signs give assurance?
I am truly in love with math and science. Both of these topics come natural to me and I would like to pursue a career that uses both of these areas. I feel that engineering encompasses these two things, but I am unsure if it is right for me. My mom is an electrical engineer for both Consumers...
What are the most difficult classes that engineering students are required to take?
I hear that the required classes for an engineering degree are rigorous. I have a calculus class right now, and I am doing fine, but how much harder are the classes in college compared to high school? And, what advice should I take with me prior to going to college in order to pursue an...
How do engineers ensure that members of a team all do their fair share?
In school, working in groups is often a challenge because some people end up doing a lot more work than others. Is it like this for engineers as well? How are issues like these resolved? #engineering
Is Geological Engineering a good major?
I have loved rocks all my life. My dad also works with construction so I also have a knack for physics and all that good stuff. I was just wondering if I made a good decision in my major. #engineering #high-school-classes #geology #geological
What is the best school at a relatively affordable price for a student who would like to become a Civil Engineer?
I would like to become a Civil Engineer, and I would obviously like to study at a good school; however, price is certainly a concern, and a good school with lower pricing would be wonderful. #engineering #professor #civil-engineering
