What was your engineering internship experience like?

I'm a senior in high school who is going to be studying aerospace and mechanical engineering after this summer. I definitely plan to do some internships and get real experience when I can, like over the summer while I'm in college. My question for those engineers who did internships is what was that entire experience like? Where did you work, what was the schedule like, what kind of real experience did you get, etc. And, if you could do anything better when it comes to getting real experience, would you do anything differently?

How limiting can the pursuit of an engineering degree become?

I graduated high school in the class of 2025. I am a very-hands on and spontaneous person that has a passion for math. Is mechanical engineering a good choice for me? Do you have any free time or hobbies while pursuing an engineering degree? Is it possible/recommended to work while pursuing an engineering degree? How helpful are internships, and is it wise to prioritize internship possibilities? Does working as an engineer require travelling out of town often?

What's the best of being a Mechanical Engineer?

Well. I'm about to finish school and a I think that I want to become a Mechanical Engineer because, for me, the world is much more interesting when we go learning how things work, and Engineering is one of the bases to know why and how the things in our universe are moved, also to know how to make them move. So, these are some of the reasons why I think I'd choose that career. Let's begin with the questions: What's the importance of Mechanical Engineering in the current world? and how is evolving this career? What book would you recommend me to begin with Mechanical Engineering? What's the best experience you had while you were studying the degree in Mechanical Engineering? also, what was the worst experience? What social skills did you develop coursing the career? Where can you work as a mechanical engineer? How do you think new technologies help in the work of a mechanical engineer? and what could be the problems that new technologies could cause in long term to the work of engineers?
