How would you characterize an average day at your job and how is sustainability integrated into your job as an engineer?
Since the start of my high school career I have dreamed of becoming an engineer. I will thrive to major as an engineer because I know that engineers work to solve global problems such as world hunger, clean water, protecting the environment and improving the quality of everyday life. Now that the time is right around the corner, I have a question for all of the engineers out there. #engineering #engineer #mechanical-engineering #civil-engineering #english #software-engineering #industrial-engineering

Is there a career in the engineering field that specifically does green energy work?
I am very interested in the environment and would like the work that I do to have something to do with keeping it "green". Ways to get water to drought ridden areas, cleaning plastic out of the oceans, making buildings more efficient, etc. #engineer #civil-engineering #architectural
What is the typical day of an engineer at work?
Whenever I have taken a test which tells you something you would enjoy and be good at, an engineer seems to be pretty common. I had never thought much about it and would always push it to the side and went with my previous plans of going into education or something in the medical field. In a math class I took, I had a teacher tell me I would be good at a career which involves a lot of math. They also said it would be something where I would have good job opportunities, especially because I am a girl. They told me there are not very many girls who go into a career which involves a lot of math. I am also taking a computer science class, which I enjoy. These experiences have caused me to consider more occupations outside of education and medical careers. I do not know much of what an engineer does, and I want to learn more. #science #engineer #computer #mathematics
How easy is it to change majors within engineering?

How important is it to go to a top tier school for Engineering?
I am trying to discern the importance of school/ school cost as I plan for college. I want to major in Mechanical Engineering, but do not want to be in debt for the rest of my life because I went to one of the top 3 schools in the nation. Any thoughts? #engineer #mechanical
I am planning to major in Mechanical Engineering and am taking all the math classes that I can. Is there anything else I should do to better prepare myself for college?
I am the youngest of 4 children and I am trying to do everything I can to limit the cost to my parents and myself for college. All of my siblings have degrees that they and my parents have shared the cost of. To that end, I am taking AP classes and am also enrolled in a Calculas II class through a local universities dual credit program ( the first person in my high school to ever do this). I am wondering about programming classes or possibly some construction. #engineer #mechanical
How do you find the specific area to use the skills you are good at, when finding a job?
