What got you interested in engineering?
Also, do you have any projects that you are particularly proud of? It doesn't have to be anything grand. Small projects count.
I needed a scholarship to get back to school. My grades were high enough to get one for engineering in a good school. But not to get the major I actually wanted at the time. So I got the nearest thing.
Having that said. Knowning what I know now I'd have gone directly to electronics eng. Its one of those things. Every day I wake up feeling that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.
The things I made I like the most aren't eng related so far. Had a graphs and algorithms class and I put it to use in games making games around pathfinding concepts. Like mazing tower defenses. There's one specifically that I'm still gonna finish it cause I swear. It looked good and felt fun.
Other than that for control currently doing cars football. But it's early stages still. But I think it's gonna come out fun.
