Ken’s Answer

The area of engineering is very broad, and the choice of what is best for you may be different than that for someone else. Congratulations on being interested in becoming an engineer. It takes a special person to enter this field and meet the demands which this career area presents. The first step is to get to know yourself to see if you share the personality traits which make engineers successful. The next step is doing networking to meet and talk to and possibly shadow engineers to see if this is something that you really want to do, as a career area could look much different on the inside than it looks from the outside.

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The first step is to take an interest and aptitude test and have it interpreted by your school counselor to see if you share the personality traits necessary to enter the field. You might want to do this upon entry into college, as the interpretation might differ slightly due to the course offering of the school. However, do not wait until entering college, as the information from the test will help to determine the courses that you take in high school. Too many students, due to poor planning, end up paying for courses in college which they could have taken for free in high school.
Next, when you have the results of the testing, talk to the person at your high school and college to arrange to talk to, visit, and possibly shadow people doing what you think that you might want to do, so that you can get know what they are doing and how they got there. Here are some tips: ## http://www.wikihow.com/Network ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/nonawkward-ways-to-start-and-end-networking-conversations ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-questions-to-ask-your-network-besides-can-you-get-me-a-job?ref=carousel-slide-1 ##
Locate and attend meetings of professional associations to which people who are doing what you think that you want to do belong, so that you can get their advice. These associations may offer or know of intern, coop, shadowing, and scholarship opportunities. These associations are the means whereby the professionals keep abreast of their career area following college and advance in their career.

It is very important to express your appreciation to those who help you along the way to be able to continue to receive helpful information and to create important networking contacts along the way.

Soumya’s Answer

Thanks for the question. Some of the best jobs for an engineer (I am assuming here best is a trade-off between pay and diversities of the role), not in any order of preference, and per my awareness:
1. Mechanical: Mechanical Design Engineer, Product Design Engineer, Robotics Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Structural Engineer, Thermal Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer
2. Industrial Engineering: Process Engineer, Quality Engineer, Technical Project Manager, Program Manager, Solutions Engineer
3. Electrical Engineering: Hardware Design Engineer, Robotics Engineer, FPGA Engineer, Product Engineer
