In the engineering field, are there hands on career opportunities for students coming out of school?

I know in the beginning of most careers it take a while to work up to do what you truly have a passion for and since I have a passion for being hands on in my career, I'd like to start in the beginning of at all possible. #engineering

Is it enjoyable to pursue the same career for the entirety of your life?

I take many classes, almost all that I can grab my hands on, in school. They include Biology and Physics because I am unsure of what I want to pursue in College, and eventually as a career. I enjoy math, but at the same time science. I want to know if I should choose one path and follow it, or...

Can one go into a good college like UCSD or UCLA without taking calculus or psychics?

I found out too late on what I wanted to be but I want to get into UCLA or UCSD. Is there a way where I can get into the school and learn about engineering there? #engineering #college-major #college-admissions #ucla #ucsd

Due to the under-representation of women in engineering fields (and STEM fields in general), are there any double standards or certain "standards" that are expected and directed towards women?

Despite many women being encouraged to go into STEM fields, it is still a heavily male-dominated field which is a little intimidating. Since there isn't complete equal pay between the genders as well as double standards for both, I'm a little worried that my work as an engineer will be judged...

What would be a good minor to pair with a Computer Engineering major?

As I plan on majoring in Computer Engineering, I was wondering what minor would go best with this major. I am not sure if a minor in math or physics or CS would help me with employers since they would assume that I already know it. Does anyone have any suggestions? #college #engineering...

Is the field of Civil Engineering really competitive?

I've seen that Civil Engineering is a popular field so I want to know if the field isn't too competitive to find a job. I've heard about some fields becoming over saturated with workers, so does any one predict there being too many workers, but not enough jobs in the future. #engineering...

How many Physics courses do you need to major in engineering?

Engineering is a major I'm interested in, however, I don't enjoy physics. I want to know if I should avoid majoring in engineering because of this dislike, or if I just have to get through a few physics courses in order to still be an engineer. #engineering
