    Engineering American Engineer < H1B visa engineer. According most corporations

    http://theinstitute.ieee.org/ieee-roundup/opinions/ieee-roundup/are-engineers-really-in-demand I am concerned about this, is this true? Are engineers really not all that in demand? Is the hype about the shortage of engineers just a ploy to get more H1B Visa engineers?

    Intelligence. The difference between individuals.

    How do you define 'smart' or intelligent? What makes someone smarter than another? Is it the ability to process information at a certain rate, then synthesize that information effectively towards an end, the ability to store it in memory quickly and effectively as well? What is your conception...

    Is 22 Too Late to Start an Engineering Program?

    Hi, I am working on my prerequisites to an engineering program right now, would this be impractical to go back to school at this age? So, is this a good or a bad move? What should I have in mind if I do this? Thanks

    Schools Generally, when do you have to apply to University?

    I'm going back to community college this fall, getting all the prerequisites. The problem is that I'm not sure after the next two semesters, whether or not I'll have enough time to apply successfully to university. What is usually the case? Maybe describe your own personal experiences in this...
