Weak in math but dream of becoming an aerospace engineer - where do I start??
I’m currently an AS Level student who wants to pursue aerospace engineering. I never took math seriously until I realized this year that I wanted to enter the field. Since then, I’ve started learning everything I can that’s relevant — reading books on aerospace engineering (such as Introduction to Flight), studying essential programming languages (MATLAB, Python, C++), and experimenting with Arduino projects. I’m doing well in my other STEM subjects (Physics, Biology, and Chemistry), but my weak foundation in mathematics has been a constant concern. I understand that aerospace engineering involves a lot of advanced math, and I want to strengthen this area to prepare for the future.
How would job shadowing go for an aspiring electrical engineer?
I noticed that job shadowing in fields such as teaching, medical and hospital fields seem to be accessible to students in my region, but I find it harder to find shadowing opportunities for electrical engineering. I'm guessing because of the safety limitations, but I'm curious as to how this would be possible. I'm looking to get into shadowing a professional in this.
Tips/advice for high school student wanting to pursue engineering?
I’ve always had an interest in science and have decided I want to go into engineering in college, specifically majoring in MechE. As someone who is taking a year ahead my grade in math but is not specifically very good nor bad at it, is it unrealistic for me to want to pursue engineering? I can work very hard when I need to, especially for things I’m passionate about, so should I reconsider engineering. My ultimate goal is to working the motorsports field as a design engineer and I would seriously do anything to get there. I understand and learn programs very quickly and am relatively proficient with a CAD program my school provides, and would love to know other ways to get involved with CAD and engineering as a junior year high school student. I am also planning to take AP physics next year but am in Pre-Calculus this year, so I was wondering which AP physics course I should take with my current math knowledge.

When applying to a research school, what would be best to highlight throughout my college application?
I am currently a high school junior, I will go to college to study Chemical Engineering. I understand research is important to highlight, but other than that, what would show schools like MIT, GA Tech, and Cal Tech that I am prepared to attend their institution? #college #engineering #chemistry #chemical-engineering #college-applications #application
