If you’re excited by the opportunity of studying to become an engineer, Douglas A. Grady has some great tips to discover a step by step guide to pursuing a long-term career as an engineer!
How to pursue a successful career as an engineer:

  1. Research multiple colleges which offer highly regarded engineering programs

If you’ve made the decision to pursue a career as an engineer, your very first step should be to research multiple colleges which offer highly regarded prestigious engineering programs.

One way to narrow down your choice of college is to look up the professors and tutors at each college, to see what experience they offer and whether you believe or not you believe each professor or tutor would be able to teach you the necessary skills which you’ll need to know in order to thrive as an engineer.

If you’re interested in a particular college and engineering program, it’s well worth contacting the admissions department to see whether you are eligible to apply for their program. In some cases, the admissions department may be able to get you in contact with one of their engineering professors, who may be happy to call you to discuss their program’s syllabus and course load.

  1. Try to apply for academic scholarships to your chosen college

Once you’ve successfully handpicked a well-regarded college, in order to complete your engineering degree, it’s well worth applying for multiple academic scholarships. As not only will an academic scholarship help you out with paying for your college expenses but winning a scholarship will also increase your chances of being given an internship and of scoring a great engineering job, straight out of college.

  1. Pursue an internship with a well-known engineering company

As an added benefit if you work hard during your internship, show initiative and impress your program leaders, you may even be offered a high paying job at the company which you interned for, after your college graduation!

  1. Make sure that you have a mentor, who’ll be able to help you make the right decisions in order to achieve your career goals an engineer

One of the best decisions which you can make as an up and coming engineer is to find an experienced engineer who is willing to act as your career mentor. As a business mentor will be able to put you in contact with the right individuals to help your career take off.
