Question

What courses should I take in high school and college to become an electrical and mechanical engineer?

Answer 1

In school,. if you can take maths-biology group or computer science group(involving physics,maths& chemistry).. In college,. you can opt electrical & electronics for becoming an electrical engineer.you can opt mechanical engineering for become an mechanical engineer.

Answer 2

Take all the math and science courses you can, but keep in mind that universities prefer well-rounded students, so make sure you have a little of everything.

Answer 3

Math and physics.. if you have a chance to take advanced level of math it could be helpful.

Answer 4

In addition to the math and science I would advise taking "Shop" classes as well. They will give you a hands on feel for end uses and results of the garbage we design. It is not a mathematically perfect world and just because your calculations are correct does not mean it will work in the Field. Additionally, the best engineers I have ever had the pleasure of working with were Technicians first.

Answer 5

You should take a spelling class first.

Answer 6

Do lots of physics and lots of math, but don't neglect your high school social life or the fun "dumb" classes. . . Check with your high school office and your local community colleges. You may be able to get high school and college credit for some upper level math classes. In the state of Washington students can participate in a program called "running start". This allows high school juniors and seniors to take courses at the community college and count them toward both college and high school credits. . . Visit a college campus nearby and try to get an idea of what they will require of you. Most of them have a sheet that shows exactly the classes you need to take to get the degree you want.. . Look for internships. I worked for Hewlett-Packard for two years and that was very helpful both in letting me know what i wanted to do in the engineering fields, and in making my resume look good.
