Have you done any basic WEB DESIGN? Why not start there and learn the basics? Do you know HTML and CSS? Good starting points!
Thank you for the advice! Yes, I do know some web design. Do you have any recommendations on some good web design courses that I should look into?

LinkedIn Learning has a lot of good ones. Coursera, Khan Academy. Udemy. Edx. etc.

For many careers, low code / no code solutions are making technical jobs accessible to more people. What aspect of UX/UI piques your interest? Is your passion more on the creative design side of things or more related to outcomes that can be achieved? There is incredible work happening in the fields of psychology, human factors/brain interface, and artificial intelligence that directly impact the direction of UX/UI as a discipline. Most technical solutions have a lifespan of seven years; there can be quantum leaps between cycles. Who are the leading companies for UX/UI that you admire? What technical solutions that you touch do you love? Why do you love them and what would make them better? Your imagination drives the future interfaces and experiences.

Hi Phuong,
Great to know about your interest! I have also explored and learnt UX design using various resources. I'll share some of them below for you to start learning.
1] https://start.uxdesign.cc/
2] You have multiple courses related to UX design on "Futurelearn" (some of them are free)
3] You could learn Figma, Adobe XD tools via Udemy courses
4] A free bootcamp for a duration of 12-24 weeks: https://www.uxuiopen.com
5] Coursera - UX design professional certificate (paid)
You can also read some design related books like "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman
I'll share the links below.
Hope this helps:) You can continue exploring many courses once you start learning..

I came to know about UE/UX design and undergrad degree at ASU last year as my son is interested in UE/UX Design and chose Graphics Information Technology in undergrad at ASU .
Please find the link for program and details below. I am sure universities in CA or others might offer similar program with same or different name.

You can talk to your school counselor and also reach out to couple of universities in your area to find out their offerings.
How To get an admission in Engineering Program?
Complete 4 years of Maths in high school (Algebra/Calculus/Statistics etc)
Get a good GPA/SAT Score will help you get an admission in good universities
After graduating from high school, one will need to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering from a school accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology.
Depends on your career goals and what area of engineering you'd like to practice, one can pursue Master Degree/Doctoral Programs
Some skills/important qualities that would help to be successful engineer
Analytical thinking
Problem Solving
Communication Skills
Working in teams
Creativity and imagination
Good Communication skills etc
Participating in science clubs, learning computer coding, joining Lego or Robotics Club, Playing Chess all will help to acquire skills that would be helpful to become an engineer or get into admission to top engineering college.
My son had decent GPA, good SAT Score and also taken AP Computer Science in high school , which has helped him with gettting admission at ASU.
Hope this helps and wish you all good Luck.

Both the Academy of Art University and California College of the Arts in San Francisco used to have programs in this subject area. They still might. It might be worth looking into.
Also, a lot of what you do has to do with where you are. I would think the Bay Area or Los Angeles in California or maybe Miami or New York on the east coast may be the places to be to do this type of work. That may be different now in a post pandemic world but location used to really matter and maybe still does.
Find schools with UX programs
Find where these jobs are
Find a way to get there

You bet! Good luck! I would also add to look at job boards and find what people are looking for in candidates for this kind of work. That may help as well.
