What is the Best Minor if Majoring in Aerospace Engineering?
I am currently a Senior in High School, looking to pursue a higher education in Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle in the Fall. I was wondering what minor would best coincide with my intended major? I was thinking Electrical, but none of the classes lined up, and the credits started to get a bit messy.
How should I start to learn coding?
I am a high school senior planning on going to UIUC next year as a Computer Science + Linguistics major and have interest in the field of natural language processing, particularly research oriented roles. I don't have any coding experience right now, but I want to make sure I don't wait too long to start doing research and internships once I go to college. I assume that at least some coding experience is a prerequisite to almost all of those opportunities and thus want to do some self study over the summer. How should I start learning and what goals should I aim to accomplish over the summer? I think that I'm intelligent enough to handle fairly rigorous timelines and material (I've generally had very little trouble on school work thus far and got a 36 ACT without studying), but I still need to start from 0. My main goal is to prepare myself to be qualified to start undergrad research and take advantage of whatever other opportunities would help prepare me for a career or to try to get into a top PhD program after UIUC as early as I can, especially since I struggle with responsibility and don't want a time crunch in my later years.

Hi, I am a student from crane middle school and here is me trying to get help to be a robotic engineer.
Lately I’ve just been fixing random stuff like computers and electronics whenever they break.am very interested in engineering because I love building things with Legos. I enjoy designing robots, but sometimes another project I work on doesn't really come out as good as I hoped. When a robot doesn't work the first time, I have to look at the parts again and figure out which piece is causing the problem so I can fix it. This process helps me understand how the AI and the mechanics work together. I want to learn how to make my designs more reliable and professional. What skills should I practice now to get better at designing robots that actually work the first time?

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.
