Traits you should have if you’re considering Engineering

[gearzpop]

Engineering classes got me questioning my choice.

[LMaudy]

Math math math, you’re dead without it, and people often overestimate their maths skills

[pedrocamunas]

Me paying atention to all the traits to see if I'm a good engineer a month after finishing my PhD in Electrical Engineering

[turnengineering]

I’m going to add focus and attention to detail to the list.

[omega]

I just want to do engineering cause I'm curious about how things are made

[G_Beats]

As Music Composer and Sound Engineer, I've always had a love for Mech. Engineering and as 24 year old I seriously want no 50 year old man thoughts on what could've been.




Fuck this. I'm Resurrecting my math and physics. I'm beciming a Mechanical Engineer.

College also helps develop these skills. I wasn’t the greatest at teamwork when I decided to dedicate myself to this path, but after many projects with passionate and talented people, I look forward to working with people more. Definitely helped me learn to be more humble, especially as I saw the brilliance of some of the other students.

I have none of these only the last one lol still in engineering going strong 😂😂😂

[sohankamble]

These are Traits needed to do almost anything in this world

Especially the patience part is a bone of contention between engineers and managers. Managers like the (illusion of) predictability. This task will finish at 3pm on Thursday, then the next one by Monday noon...
Engineering tasks are by their very nature unpredictable. They are done when they are done.

At one point I considered electrical engineering because of my curiosity about the science behind technology and how it can help people. I wish I’d job shadowed pros in the careers I was interested the summer I graduated high school. At the time, I felt pressured into choosing a career quickly. I once told one of my parents I had doubts about art as a career, as I wanted to be an animator, storyboard, or character artist. Having graduated from community college, I’ve become wiser. Even though I wasn’t good enough at math, and that played into my reluctance to switch majors form the arts to engineering. At this point, I’m hoping to get my bachelors in graphic design at snhu and at least get a good graphic design job. As I tried design tech before, and for many reasons, the class to get the certificate just didn’t work out.

No you don't, these things help but they are not paramount.
I came into it for money and I'm doing just fine. Only thing u need to know is that u can fail easily, so get used to it.

As a senior masochist myself, I'll say you should also be immune to companies lowballing you and telling you you're overpaid while knowing youre the only line between them and total collapse... also you should enjoy watching sales guys and youtubers make more than you while you fix yet another multimillion dollar problem.

Honestly its getting hard to recommend the profession. Super interesting, but the cost/benefit is def not there anymore

[Donavon_Robinson]

My main problem is with teammates, I’m good in groups, but i always need to double check other’s work before I can move on. I need to kick the habit of not having confidence in other peoples abilities. But when I was younger and saw something cool, I would take it apart, see how the little parts functioned, then put it back together just to see how it can do what it does.

Communication/Social skills is a huge one to. You will not succeed without it

[bastlyify]

Join a union, I'm a boilermaker welder. Started when I was 19 (you can start an apprenticeship at 17) making the average engineer's salary. Barely passed high school bc I didn't care. I have no debt, work in nuclear plants, and just bought a house at 21. Also if you're worried about competition, 30 guys were in my class at the start, by 3 months in half of them already got dropped. None of them wanted to work. Literally all you gotta do is show up and know how to take shit from your journeymen/ foreman/ steward/ anyone not in your class or lower lol it's about respect

[Hatchy_Auto_Engineering]

Thats a very blanket statement, you dont need anything to do engineering, you develop it all along the way

[shauryathanvi]

As an Indian..All I need is....Parents.
Indians will get that 😂🙏🏼

[REDGHOST]

Money was what motivated me to get my degree 🤣

[Darkforce]

Teamwork 💀

My WJEC exams (practical) : NO TALKING, NO TOUCHING, NO COUGHING
