How do I become an Engineer?
High School Take all the math and science courses you can Communication and people skills - engineers work in teams Second language is a definite plus in any field
University Universities offer different programs – choose the program
you are interested in Co-op program gives some practical experience First two years are common to all engineering programs with
specialization in the third and fourth year
![Page 16: Engineer-in-Residence Program Introduction to Engineering Gordon Griffith, P.Eng](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5697c0291a28abf838cd71ce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Look around Be curious about how things are
made How would you make it…
Start thinking about engineering
