No I haven't found out about a security clearance. I am actually just researching the field right now. I don't have any formal training in computer programmer, however I already found out from the head of the department at the school I am planning to attend that won't be a problem. I just have...

Im looking to do a masters program. I am sort of torn between computer science and software engineering. I am interested in software engineering but I am wondering if computer science would be more reputable and give me more job options. I am looking to get a job in either the space or defense...

Thanks for the feedback. I thought in the beginning I would always like too work on the physical plane, but now I've been looking into other tech fields in which I can still work with aircraft. So I guess what I am trying to say is I am interested in the devolopment of software that control the...

I have been talking on this forum for a while about going back to school for engineering. I've been considering though getting a masters in software engineering. I am sort of conflicted though. I like computers but my main passion is aircraft. Since aircraft are becoming increasingly reliant on...

Would taking all my maths and sciences at the community college and then searching for an egineering tech position be a good move?

Well I am planning to gi back to school, most likely part time since I must work full time. It would be nice to get a job that would be related to the engineering field, or perhaps any entry level job that would get me in at an engineering firm. I know I've asked about engineering tech and...

I thought about going to my local community college and getting certified in autocad or something just so I can get my fooot in the door. I would like to have a full time job with somebody. I don't care if its being office assistant or fetching coffee as long as I have the chance to establish...

Instead of the engineering technician idea is there another job that would be good to work out while trying to complete an engineering degree. I really want to work in a job that has ties to engineering. It would be good to get a support job in a local engineering job so I can establish myself...

No sir your not discouraging me. I read that one of the engineers who developed the space shuttle started outas a designer of microwaves so I kind of figured that engineers have to start in a position unrelated to their desired field. Just as long as I always keep my goal in sight that's all...

Well that helps. I am not super at math but when I work hard I get through and that's really my main goal is getting through it. I know I like aircraft and I want to be in a job where I play a major part in their development.Even if I have to start at the bottom because my grades arent up too...

Well people seem to have a very negative outlook on engineering. They seem to think its just about math and that you have to be a prodigy in order to be successful in the field. I've found from reading these forums that while math is important part most engineers had to struggle and some have...

Well if you had to mentor somebody who wanted to be an engineer what would be some common misconceptions you would want them to dispel in order to give them a good grasp what this field involves, and get rid of any apprehensions they may have?

Im interested in aerospace or mechanical. I am planning to attend my local community college to complete whatever math or science courses I still need to either start a second bachelors program in engineering or that will allow me to become a technician. If I becime a technician I plan to attend...

I already hold a degree in a non engineering field. I started on the path to becoming an engineer but got discouraged after hitting a wall. That was a year ago. Ever since my mind always wandrs back to engineering and I still feel drawn to this profession. I want to do it again but I want to try...

i am curious, are there engineers who originally started out in a field that was not related to engineering and later become engineers? The reason i ask is I am in non engineering field and I am thinking of taking some classes on my own once I get settled in my career and am making enough money...
