I am interested in engineering and I want to stay close to the trades. (to be clear what I mean by the trades are the skilled construction trades like carpentry, electrical, and plumbing). I enjoy working with moving parts like with power tools, I like doing electrical wiring work, and I am...

I am a senior in high school waiting for more info about financial support for a college I am interested in. #Fall25

I'm curious to know what everyday life for an engineer would look like. Does working as an engineer mean a more flexible day-to-day life?

I am a 17 year old high-school student and I've been doing photography for quite some time and started my own business from it. But I'm also a student who loves math and engineering and I feel as if I'm destined for it, but I'm still unsure because of how much I love photography. #Fall25

I'm currently enrolled in a community college and am planning on transfering to an university for electrical engineering after finishing my gen ed. Typically, what should I look for when making the choice and how do I know that an university have good funding for the major I want?

I am a sophomore at FDU studying hospitality management and tourism. I am a skilled baker with experience in restaurant and retail.

I'm a junior, and I'm not as interested in some of my extracurriculars as I used to be. I feel like I'm only doing them because I don't want to quit when I'll be applying to college next year, but they're also making it harder to find time for the things I enjoy. My parents cautioned me against...

I am currently a Mechanical engineering student, but I am dreading the rest of my classes. I love the design and problem solving, but hate the math/physics/theory side of things. Do I just push through the rest of my classes, or is mechanical engineering not for me?

What IT jobs can I get with an Associate's degree in Information Technology? I enjoy building things and like hands-on jobs that are also well-paid. I learn quite quickly, so any practical job I can get with my Associate's degree in Information Technology would be a good career option for me.

ive always known you cant start at the top when first getting a job. But ive always wondered is there a way to get a head start? would i need any programs or experiences? Would a high level university be enough?

I'm serious! I really hate the idea of having a job, so how can anyone stand to have one? I've never had one before as a junior in high school, but the little work experience I do have tells me I could never do this every day for the rest of my life. I'm so lazy, I wish I could just live in...

I've dreamed of making rovers and even designs for them to launch into space and discover new things in different planets. I recenetly went to a college fair where engineer professionals and college proffersors were presents and I had asked about a specific aerospace program to one for the...

I was always apart of a family who worked on cars. I want to continue that but also become a aerospace engineer. I also want to be become a aerospace engineer but I'm not sure which I should be. I don't know if it's reasonable to do both.

I am in 7th grade, and I am trying to find what I want to do for my future job but I am unsure because there are many options! I like technology, designing things, and I also like building things kind of like engineering are there any things that could let me do all of those and that would also...

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...

My name is Julian, I’m a 7th grader in Yuma Arizona. I am aspiring to be an architect or work in the field.

I’m asking because I’m interested in pursuing a career and want to know if it provides any benefits I’m still pursuing a career in it regardless though

I am really into Computers and its components. I will starting College in August and will be taking Mechanical Engineering as my major, and I was wondering if a Mechanical Engineering could help me get a job in the Hardware Engineering field after I graduate. Are both fields similar enough to...

As of right now, I am working on my soft skills to improve my employment rate for when I apply for jobs in the future. I also want to show that I am more capable of doing well on the job.

I wanna be an engineer especially software, but I am curious on how I can accomplish this at such a young age. Could you guys maybe give me some hints?

I have a love for engineering and was wondering what a good GPA is if i wish to pursue it as a career path.

Which would be better? Construction or engineering? I love working with my hands and I hate math, but I have always been interested in engineering, computers, etc. I just don't know which path to take.

Grade 10

is engineering a hard degree to get or to understand?

I am currently in 12th grade with a 2.9 contemplating weather I should go to college or tradeschool.

Do they harvest their own crops? Do they do all the work and not hire or do they hire.

I'm asking for an auto repair, auto mechanic, and automotive. I am asking if this job would be okay with me learning at the same time while doing the job. I will be learning for the job.

I love modeling, and have been on this career path since high school. But searching for jobs like this always brings up CAD, and that's not something I care about unfortunately. I also do not know how to use sheet metal, or make electrical plans. None of this was ever taught to me. So now I...

I want to know the best universities for engineering as well as how competitive it must be to get into these universities.

What are some helpful high school courses for people looking at a career field in mechanics, that most school would offer.
