If you’re a parent who has a high schooler or college student struggling with feeling overwhelmed, you need to hear this.👇🏽

They are NOT ALONE.

They need to stop being so hard on themselves. Everyone, no matter how smart or talented, has struggled.

Of course, they must acknowledge and process these emotions. But, what your teen may not realize is that even the most seasoned engineers have days like these. Take it from me.

In college, I had my fair share of hardship. And doubts crept in, such as…

❌ I was often questioning if I chose the right major.

❌ I did not feel I was smart enough or cut out for this career.

❌ I was worried that engineering would always be this hard.

❌ I thought that it came naturally to everyone else but me.

In those early moments of my schooling, I could have given up, but I was able to take some simple steps and everything turned around. So instead of crawling under a rock, I changed my mindset to…

✅ Focusing on what I could control.

✅ Getting organized and making a plan.

✅ Kept moving forward.

✅ Leveraged my campus resources.

These are small, but very powerful tools, and I’m positive some or all of them will work for your teen.

👉🏼And obviously there’s a lot more I could say about all of this, so if you want to find out more, check out this post on the Engineering Expectations site:

Anyone else, or just me? 🤣

One of the main misconceptions about engineers is that they sit on their computers all day and talk to no one.

This could not be further from the truth!

Here are some of the MANY tasks engineers do
👩‍🔬Testing in the lab
⚒Assembling prototypes
📝Attending meetings
🧑‍💼Giving presentations
👥Visiting suppliers
🔍 Investigating failures

🤣

When it comes to choosing an engineering major, it is best to go broad. Stick with the five main branches of engineering (chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, or mechanical).

The more specialized majors all fall under one of the five main branches. For example, aerospace falls under the mechanical engineering branch.

Then, once you start taking college courses and learning what your interests are, you can narrow your focus with a minor or concentration.

Going broad gives you more flexibility when it comes to choosing colleges and opens up more job opportunities when you graduate.
