Career choices

[Zoheb N]

Just out of curiousity I was wondering how many of you out there are planning on becoming engineers because of your experience with FIRST and what type of engineers are you planning on becoming?


Sorry for the few amount of choices, but at the time i couldn't remember all the major engineering careers

Personally I'm studying electrical engineering. I think, however, that you may want to add a few additional choices to the list. Though mechanical and electrical are obvious paths for a former FIRST participant, there are many others that they might (and very often do) choose to enter such as chemical, industrial, civil, and biomed just to name a few. Just my 2 cents.

FIRST has taught me I dont want to be an engineer (its just not for me). It has however taught me that I love working with video and doing computer animations. I want to something with it one day.

Computer Engineering.

A mix of electrical and software.

Technically I'm actually majoring in ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering). Not all schools offer a combined major like that but I'm sure glad mine does!

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I'm going to be double majoring in Biomedical and Chemical Engineering, so if I go into the field as an Engineer instead of a doctor (my current aspiration) it'd be one of those.

mechanic, because im good with tools, parts,and rembering odd things.

before joining FIRST, i sure wanted to be SUPERMAN or SPIDER MAN!....
but after joining FIRST, i realized that there are other ways i can help people and the world. So far my plan is to major in Project Management and Systems Engineering. Its a completely new major in the market and is combination of some of the major engineering fields.

I think I'm double majoring in mechanical engineering and physics with a management minor.

I'll be studying manufacturing engineering because I always had an interest in the assembly line and robots (yay ) that I thought it would be really awesome to work with robots the rest of my life.

Electrical bro.

One Explanation.




+ the fact that I had a blast working with electrical componenets and learning and making circuit boards.
