Q: I am a junior in high school and all my life I have enjoyed building things, solving problems and drawing plans for various devices. After doing a little bit of construction with an engineer on a mission trip with church, I am pretty sure I want to go into engineering. My only problem is that when I understand math I love it, but there are times when I don’t understand it and then I can’t stand it. I am in Trig Analysis / Pre-calculus this year and I like solving the problems, but I still have mixed feelings. Do you or any students that you work with have the same problem and do you think it would be a big hindrance to me if I want to succeed in Civil Engineering?

Q: BACKGROUND: We live in Sierra Vista, AZ, about 70 miles SE of Tucson. My 17 year old son is a high school senior and wants to become an engineer, but is still undecided which engineering sub-category he wants to specialize in. He is interested in robotics and maybe nanotechnology. He has taken Advanced Placement classes in English, Mathematics and Physics. He already has earned some college credit by signing up for Dual-Credit classes. We are split over 2 options: 1) having him attend for the first 2 years a community college which has a 2-year Pre-Engineering Program, and then have him attend a traditional university for the last 2 years of college; or 2) having him start as a freshman in a traditional 4-year institution.
QUESTIONS:
What, if any, are the pros and cons of both options? Is there an industry bias out there when it comes to hiring an applicant who either completed a 4 year program right away or first did a 2 year program and then finished up a 4 year program?

Q: How much homework do you have?
It would be a good idea to plan on at least two hours of study time per credit hour, thus a major course would require approximately six hours of study every week. The best way to handle homework and assignments is to assign time for them on a regular time slot in your weekly schedule and use this period of time to read ahead if you have completed all the official assignments. Periods closer to the middle of the term may require more preparation time due to midterm exams, and you may want to plan ahead by reducing to a minimum other non-obligatory activities during these 2-3 weeks. One good way to manage assignments is to set up half an hour every weekend at a set time to assess all the assignments expected in the next two weeks so that by the beginning of the week you have a good forecast of the expected effort and its distribution over the week.
