What is the projected job growth in different Environmental Engineering specialties?
This is my intended major. #engineering #environmental-engineering
Why aren't more engineering courses taught in a hands-on setting?
At my college, 90% of #engineering classes are based on #theory. A common belief is that you will only end up using a tiny portion of all that knowledge once you reach the workplace, and instead employees end up learning most their skills on the job. This makes the burden of college seem useless, aside from providing students with a piece of paper that proves they attended. #teaching #education #curriculum
Is it okay to pursue a major in an area that I'm naturally weaker in?
I love #engineering but my high school failed to adequately prepare me for most of the engineering courses I have had to take in college. Instead, I'm good at reading books and writing essays that analyze them, but I hate doing that. So, I am struggling through engineering in order to round out my skills.
What can I do as a high school student to encourage more girls to pursue STEM fields in the future?
I am currently a senior in high school and I am interested in studying STEM in college. I realize that women in the STEM field are far and few between, so what can I do as an individual to help more girls explore STEM fields in school? #women-in-stem #math #science #engineering #technology

How do I go about creating my own Company in the Engineering Industry?
Being enrolled in the Drexel Co-op program has given me the incites that I am grateful for experiencing before I enter the workforce. As I near the end of my last Co-op, I have realized that a 9am-5pm job is not for me. Being self employed has always been a dream of mine. #leadership #engineering #self-employed #self-driven
Should I take two majors in college?

Is it difficult to study engineering in college without much experience?
When deciding on what major to apply to for college, the only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to use my huge passion and love for science to solve tangible problems in both communities and global societies. I settled on engineering, but was unsure due to the fact that I had little experience in this field save for my new participation in my school's engineering club and tinkering with my small Arduino kit. Now that I've actually been accepted to a couple of schools so far for engineering, I am afraid I won't be able to keep up with my peers who most likely have gone through a lot more training and practice in engineering prior to attending college. Is it difficult to get through college as an engineering major if you had little to no experience in high school? #engineering

Which engineering career is best for someone with a bachelors in civil engineering that would make the most impact on improving environmental conditions?
I am asking because I have been passionate about solving the environmental problems around the world since I was in elementary school, and I am currently majoring in civil engineering because environmental engineering is under the civil engineering branch. Although I can just major in environmental engineering, I find having a broader knowledge can lead to providing more ways to solve environmental problems. #bachelors-degree #civil-engineering #environmental-engineering #engineering
