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: I am studying surveying and geoinformatics for my first degree, but want to major in aeronautical engineering for a Master degree. I dream, think and feel aeronautics all the time.
Which US university should I apply to?
Aeronautical Engineering concerns airplanes, helicopters, missiles and other air vehicles. Aeronautical engineers interact with some of the most exciting elements of technology in a multi-disciplinary environment, designing vehicles to operate in extreme environments and under exacting conditions. They then manufacture, operate and maintain these vehicles.
Though you have not done your undergraduate studies in aerospace engineering or related area, many programs in aerospace engineering accept students from other fields. For example, the Aeronautics and Astronautics program at Purdue University specifically offers degrees to students whose undergraduate degree is in an engineering field different from Aeronautics and Astronautics, as well as to graduate students whose undergraduate degree is in the physical sciences or mathematics rather than in engineering. Please note, however, that a program may require that you take additional classes to remedy deficiencies in your background before admitting you to the regular Master of Science track. All admission committees would like to see a strong background in mathematics and physics, and most prefer candidates with familiarity with an engineering discipline.
A typical list of admission requirements for a Master of Science program is provided by the Aerospace Engineering Science department at the University of Colorado at Denver. Applicants must...
1. Have undergraduate courses in calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations.
2. Have two semesters of undergraduate calculus-based physics.
3. Have at least two semesters of upper-division undergraduate courses in engineering, physics, or chemistry.
4. Hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or university of recognized standing (or the equivalent).
5. Have an undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.00.
6. Provide official GRE scores from an examination taken within the last 5 years.
7. Provide four letters of recommendation.
8. Provide a statement of purpose.

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?
