Q: How did you choose the school you went to for your degree? I'm having a hard time deciding…help!
When you’re faced with a decision of where to go, look at the opportunities that you’ll have at each school. A strong co-op program (internships during your undergrad years) was one element that I strongly desired, as it provides actual job experience even before graduation. If you have an idea of the specific engineering discipline you’d like to study, look for schools that have strong departments, professors and perhaps research opportunities in that field.
The best advice I’ve been given on finding a school is to do a lot of research. Of course, you’d want to find out the obvious information: is it a good engineering school, do they have a good graduate program, do they offer engineering disciplines I am interested in? However, it’s a really good idea to look at individual professors at different schools, find out what their research is, what kind of papers they are publishing; are they doing work that you find interesting?
First was looking for a school with a good reputation in the degree I was looking to get. I considered the pros/cons of schools I was considering. I sought advice from people who where older than me who know me well (parents, teachers, coaches). I asked my friends their opinions of schools I was looking at.
I decided on a major. Looked at the schools. Made a decision matrix defining what is important and how well each school fared in an ideal situation. Factors I considered were, Do they have my major? How much does it cost after financial aide? Am I guaranteed a spot in my major or am I in danger of not being accepted into my specific program after coming to the university? Do they have an honors program? Do I
like the dorms? Do they have sand volleyball courts? Do they inspire me? Is it close to home but not too close?

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 a freshman in college and my major is Computer Engineering. I am taking an Introduction to Electrical Engineering class. Is it bad that I do not understand the topics discussed in class? We just started class and it seems like the other students all know what the teacher is talking about, but all the things I am interested in like computers, the hardware and how it operates are never discussed in this class.

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?
