My dream is to become an electro-mechanical engineer or a mathematician and physiciest. Because I like mathematics and science. But I want to be a very good one. Is there anything you would suggest me to do, which be very importand? Maybe from your own experience or some ppl who you know? \nP.S. Actually I've asked this question already.Some people suggested me to study hard. In fact I always studying as hard as I could. However, I don't think studying just hard will work, I should also study smarter and more wiser, but I am not sure actually, how?

Another important aspect of physics and engineering is building stuff.  In all the labs I've worked in (physics), there has been a large element of working with the hands, whether by putting together electronics, welding and soldering, using machine tools, sample preparation, or whatever.  It's important to feel comfortable working with your hands.  \n\nThe most effective way I have found for me to study is not only reading, but working to solve problems-- after you learn a concept, do several simple problems to make sure the concept and its applications stick with you.  I also find it's a lot easier to visualize things if I have some idea of the mathematical stuff that's going on.

highlight the strengths of the pupil first - there is no point in anyone saying become an engineer if the pupil cant do maths.  re-ask the questions with more details.

at the end of high school, I asked myself: "wow very wonderful all those general knowledge (sincere consideration) but ... how do I complete a cheque?"\n\n\nat the end of university (and had to look myself for it, very hard, having not much time), I asked myself "who am I?, what kind of job fits with my heart?, what do those sciences explain?, what does my degree mean?, what kind of society are we living in?, what and how can I contribute?\n\nI would have appreciated:\n\n- science phylopsophy included in the curriculum:\n\nso to warn not to narrow down the way you view the world and life; positive western sciences are rational limited explanations of how's with each one of them having its own logic and method; they do certainly not give answers on the why's and need therefore to be situated towards other disciplines like life considerations (religions, philosophies e.g.), culture, sociology, politics, ...\n\n- courses of learning to learn & of learning to search and select information & learning what you as an adult and your degree/job mean in society (which law, services, ....)\n\nI discovered in a more systematic way all that afterwards, feeling then not too much alone with my feelings and opinions while in my job\nI consider myself blessed by those discoveries and conscious of the benefits those would bring to others if they had the opportunity (time) to do them too;\nit is a hard way, the other way for fresh students, certainly in today's context of more and more liberalism, individualism and financial strains\n\n\nI must say I appreciated a lot a course of biology, while studying electromechanics, studying the human body so to understand how you can cope with stress, food, ... i.e. keep your health\n\n(and otherwise I cannot complain about my education)

It doesn't hurt to be inquisitive on Yahoo Answers and get sources of information for stuff you are doing for your engineering homework.  As long as you aren't posting questions directly from your homework and as long as you actually use this as simply a starting point for your research, keep up the good work.\n\nAs far as Electrical Engineering stuff.  I have found what I needed a few times from Google.com and Wikipedia.  However, that is a difficult course and I would recommend tutoring or study groups if you are struggeling.  \n\nGood Luck.

My fiancee is in college for computer science. It is exactly what you're looking for. He has computer projects due every week. But he has to take a lot of hard math classes. He is currently taking a calculus class which is necessary for him to do his class projects properly. If your interested in computer science, or anything to do with computers just make sure you do well in advanced math classes.

Engineering is a bad choice if you are struggling with physics. A weakness in Physics is often a signal of poor mathematical skills which are essential for an engineer.

You could decide by looking at your hobbys and likes.For instance if you like Physics you could study that.Search inside you what you like the most and you'll make the right decision.If that doesn't help search on the internet for good,well-paid jobs and see what you like.Hope I helped.

Ok, if you made a 50 on physic's test, you are most likely still in the top 20% of the population as far as brains.  How about looking at what you are naturally good at, and enjoy doing, and continuing on with your education at that.\nMoney isn't happiness, job you like doing that pays enuff to keep you going is best.

1) Is not something unreachable, you can do it! The most important word is perseverance. If medicine is your passion, go for it, its wonderful. \n\n2) Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Psychology, Economy, etc. Try to do any kind of science-research. And enjoy college, family and friends, because the hard thing about studying medicine is not the hard work you have to put into your studies  The hard thing is to learn how to overcome the frustrations and to make a balance between your every-day-life (family, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend, church, etc) and med-school.  (time-management --> very important) \n\n3)You can go to the MCAT page to see all the med-schools in your area.

Looks like you got lots of feedback on this.  Some good answers, and some not too good.  I only hope that you let him read the results of this question.  It is not to shame him, but to encourage him.  But, if he is not interested in math and physics, then there must be other things he is interested in.  Perhaps he would be a perfect game technician.  Their pays are not very terrible, if he gets hired with the right company.  I wish you all the best with this one.  Do you allow him use of the computer as well?  If you don't, maybe it could help him if you would allow it.  He could meet other kids around his age, or older, who might be an incentive to him.  Click on my avatar, I would like to offer more to you, and him directly.  But we can't use the Q&A page for communication purposes.  I have lots more questions.  Thank you.

Thats sounds like a good idea as you will def need physics at a very good level to do engineering!...;

Check out biomedical engineering if you get a chance... that is really the hottest engineering discipline right now...\n\nBUT, I would choose electrical engineering since you can do SO MUCH with that degree: Power engineering, RF/microwave, computers, software, circuits, system engineering, nano-engineering.... \n\nI also know of some electrical engineers who work as mechanical engineers... so in any event you are never really stuck... \n\nAlso, know that electrical engineering is the closest engineering discipline to pure physics... \n\nBUT choose mechanical engineering if mechanical doo-hickeys fascinate you... you are good with your hands... you like math.... you are comfortable using CAD tools on the computer.... you feel comfortable in a machine shop.... \n\nIn terms of the JOB MARKET.... as long as you get good grades in college you will get a job... TRUST ME. Good engineers are a rarity... ALSO, if you learn a foreign language like Chinese or Korean than the job recruiters will be knocking your door down.

If you're good at math (and like to do it a lot), can think straight, and can type decently, I think you'll do OK.  I'm a programmer and not an electrical engineer though, so you may have a different experience.

Do you still have your old textbooks and tests?  Go through your books and do some of the problems.  Look at each chapter in the book and see what stuff is highlighted by the editiors, like the theorems and identities.  Then try to do some of the problems.\n\nWell, this is what I would do (and have done in the past) to get myself back up to speed.  Good luck, and congrats on your engineering curriculum!\n\n~ ♥ ~

You can do anything you set your mind to, if people discourage you consider it a challenge to prove them wrong. There is a serious lack of Quality engineers. There is plenty of time for your choice, many very successful people do not find their calling until they have experienced a number of choices. The main thing is to believe in yourself and perhaps you should try writing down your goals, and each year go back and review them; you will be surprised at how far you can go, and how things can change in this technical age. Best Of Luck!

Hi there. Engineering quite a good career to go into. When you study engineering, you will find out that actually engineering student are mostly chosen by the work force. Sometime even chosen to be a sales personnel and so on. Engineering is not a bad field to go into. \n\nBut than my recommendation is to go for something you like. Don't just because you think that that field had no future or crappy and so on and choose not to join. \n\nAnyway i am engineering student. I think it is fun but tedious sometime.

> I need to get back into work mode, which has seem to left me a long time ago.\n\nGreat! Count this as your first step towards doing something about it. This is a joyous moment! Be happy about it!\n\n> Right now I just feel like asking philisophical questions to myself, playing video games, thinking about girls, talking with my friends, and sleeping.\n\nCongratulations, David, you're normal. Welcome to the world of knowing your responsibilities and being mindful of your existence. Sorry if that sounds odd, but really I think you've partly answered your own question here already. First, though, it's obvious that you need to get motivated. Isn't being in "deep peril" motivation enough? I assume that would mean failing at school, or not meeting some other important work requirements? But what's more important? Is it girls and friends (be honest with yourself), or taking responsibility for what's important right now? Think about this, though: All those things keeping you from "entering reality" (as you put it) will still be there after your school stuff is finished. The thing that's even cooler is you'll probably appreciate them much more than you do right now. Plus, they'll still be there while you're focusing on school. It's not like one or the other. Yes, balance is the key here! Of course there's the outside chance that your behaviour is somewhat psychologically imbalanced. In this case, David, I recommend that you have a chat to a school counsellor, parent, or a local psychologist. Anyway, good luck and go get 'em on your studies! Really hope this helps.
