Is going to School for Mechanical Engineering or Engineering in general worth it?
My name is Eduardo and I go to Crane Middle School in Yuma, Arizona and I have been wanting to be an Engineer since I was in 2nd grade. I like to build things like Legos or like doing hardware and designing projects in school. Engineering is a fascinating career that I find interesting. I was wondering what the best and worst parts of this job would be. What kind of college degree do you need, and are there internships you can do while you're still in school? Do you need to be a math genius to be an engineer, or is being a good problem-solver more important? What is the Engineering Design Process and why do engineers expect their first version to fail? How do engineers choose which materials to use like why use titanium for a plane instead of steel. To whoever answers my question Thank You for this Information
What is something I should know that would give me an edge compared to other starting engineering students?
I am turning 18 years old on December 10th, and I am a senior in high school. I plan to go to college and earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I am avid when it comes to my education. I have a 4.0 GPA and I am ranked 6th in my class of 394, but none of that is to brag—it is simply to show I am dedicated and that I care about my education. I wanted to ask this question because I do not want to be clueless when entering college. I am the kind of person who wants to be ahead of the game and able to help others around me. I am also asking because I know there are smarter, more experienced people who can give me access to things they wish they had known as upcoming engineers. Asking questions similar to this before, I heard about familiarizing yourself with modeling software before entering college and getting a high-powered computer; however, I do not know if I can financially. Also, I would like to thank the people who reply. Your time, effort, and advice will be greatly appreciated. I can't wait!

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.
