How do i find demanded Major subject after 4 years of my education, I will get good Corporate Job?
College Education cost is growing. 4 Year degree course cost is around 200k. Once We graduate, we have 200k debt plus interest. If we don't get good job, Repayment is very very difficult. #computer-software #engineering #computer

What kind of jobs can you get with a degree in Engineering?
There are a lot of different types of engineers and I want to know about the types. #engineering #in #someone
Do all Engineering fields require 4 or 5 years of college?
Some colleges we've visited have leaned more towards 5 years, suggesting first year is when you really are deciding on a Major or considering changing course. Has that been anyone's experience? #engineering
I'm debating between Biomedical Engineering and Dentistry. Would most of my core classes for either contribute to my decision for a major?
I've done well in all of my STEM classes. I'm leaning towards Engineering, but haven't quite decided. I've started considering Pre Dentistry to see where my interests take me. #engineering #biomedical #dentistry #dental
What different kinds of majors are actually inside of "Electrical engineering"?
I was wondering this, because when I'm applying to colleges and they ask my major I type in electrical engineering and several options come up. I think it would be helpful to find out exactly what each one entails. #college #engineering #college-major #college-admissions #electrical-engineering
Was it difficult to get into the field of engineering when applying to college?
As I'm looking at different colleges and narrowing down what i would like to major in, i slowly came to realize that electrical engineering as hugely impacted at just about all colleges that offer some type of engineering major. So i would like to know whether or not this major is just as hard to get into as it seems. #electrical-engineering #engineering #college
When figuring out a way in creating/fixing something in college is it best to work with a partner or to work alone?
I tend to work best alone but i would like to know weather it is best to work with a partner in college or if it doesn't really matter. #computer-science #engineering #mechanical-engineering #electrical-engineering
What are some career fields for electrical engineers?
I enjoy the electrical aspects of engineering such as circuitry and microelectronics. I enjoy home-automation, IOT, and robotics. However, I really do not want to end up being an electrician (not that there is anything that wrong with that; it's just not my thing). So, what are some other careers in the electrical-engineering field (other than research) and what are the best corresponding majors? #college #engineering #career #career-counseling #career-choice #electrical-engineering #electronics #automation
Will there be an over saturation of engineers?
I want to be an engineer and am curious about the field. Presently, engineering and other STEM occupations are quite popular. But as time passes, there will be many who major in it like me and due to that, won't the job market be more competitive? And if so, when? #engineering #employment #job-market
Do many of the required engineering courses for different engineering majors overlap?
I know that I want to major in engineering, but I am currently uncertain as to what specific major I want. If I get into college and decide to change my major from one field of engineering to another, how well do the classes overlap? Do I really have to know what specific field I want to go into before applying to colleges? #college #computer-science #engineering #mechanical-engineering #computer-engineering #biomedical-engineering #electrical-engineering #materials-science
Where can I find organizations that support women in STEM-related careers?
As a woman hoping to get a STEM-related career after college, I recognize the fact that there are few of us. Are there any organizations or places where I may be able to find like-minded women?I believe it is important for women to support one another, especially in a male-dominated field of specialization. #engineering #mechanical-engineering #women-in-stem #organization #women-in-tech

What job opportunities are available to nuclear engineers?
I'm interested in studying nuclear engineering because (with my limited knowledge) it seems to me to be a great alternative to fossil fuel and nonrenewable energy resources when handled safely, but I feel as though the job market for nuclear engineers is small and there's a very specific niche for those with degrees in nuclear engineering. I'd like to know the odds of finding a job in this field straight from college, and perhaps how difficult earning a degree is compared to other engineering disciplines such as mechanical or chemical? #engineering #nuclear-engineering
