Description

Choosing Engineering is about the info they don’t teach in school. It's meant to help you evaluate and decide if engineering is something you should consider pursuing or not from a more practical perspective.Knowing what to expect and what to plan for will help you more effectively and efficiently map out your career. So I've put into this course everything I really wish someone would have shared with me when I had first expressed an interest in studying engineering and in an engineering career.  Compiling decades of experience and lessons learned from myself and others, I create this structured, one-of-a-kind course to guide you through the different key elements you should consider without having to figure it all out on your own the hard way through real-life trial and error. And so that you can go through the material at your own pace and rewatch what you need.And to help you figure out where to go after you complete the course, at the end I throw in an Add-on section:Now that I know all of this, where do I go from here? What are some next steps to take?What’s a PE license? How do I obtain it?
