What skills or experiences are essential for a successful engineering career?
I am majoring in civil engineering and interested in project management.
Would Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering be the best fit for me?
I am interested in engineering and I want to stay close to the trades. (to be clear what I mean by the trades are the skilled construction trades like carpentry, electrical, and plumbing). I enjoy working with moving parts like with power tools, I like doing electrical wiring work, and I am interested in overseeing construction projects. According to my research I would enjoy doing something in each of the engineering categories above. Which one would allow me to be involved in the construction trades in a useful way?
What are some potential obstacles regarding a career in environmental engineering?

UCL MEng Civil Engineering offer holder
Hi, I have an offer to read MEng Civil Engineering at University College London (UCL). I read some online reviews on UCL, and there appears to be many bad reviews. I've seen people writing reviews regarding bad admin staff. I've also seen engineering students complaining about errors in the examinations and tests they give. Overally, i read that some websites rank student satisfaction in UCL to be quite low. I've also seen people writing about UCL being bad at teaching as the lecturers are mostly researchers, and are not really prioritising teaching. Since I am an overseas student, I am wondering if I should invest such a huge sum of money into my degree at UCL. Can someone who studied a UCL advice me on this matter? Or can someone tell me their past experiences with UCL for Engineering or Civil Engineering? Thanks in advance tags: #UCL #UniversityCollegeLondon #CivilEngineering #MEng #StudentSatisfaction #Engineering #London #Teaching
As a civil engineering student, what is the best time to take the F.E. exam?
I will be graduating in May I already took it last year and failed and of course I plan on taking it again. Do companies look for you to have already taken it before you graduate or is it acceptable to take it afterwards? Many thanks. #feexam #fecivil ##civilengineering

What is the difference between Architecture and Architectural Engineering?
I'm an junior in High School and I been trying to do research to distinguish which one I want to major and study while in college, but isn't telling me the key difference. While researching I came across with some couple of websites that said Architectural Engineering is similar to Structural Engineering and that all its telling me. I also want to know which one do you prefer me to do? I do enjoy drawing, mathematics, and technology. Science isn't what I enjoy but I like it as well. Thanks #engineering #engineer #architecture #architect #architectural-design #structural-engineer
