Tolu Wani Added Sunday, August 31, 2025 at 10:54 AM Can I major in mechanical engineering as a Muslim girl? I'm passionate about maths, physics, and problem-solving, and I'd love to, but I worry that my dress will limit my opportunities. By dress I mean not only the headscarf but also the other aspects of hijab, such as not showing the form. I'm very interested in engineering and would greatly prefer a job that is not 100% at a desk, but I am not sure if it would be sensible to major in it because I haven't seen workwear that meets the conditions of hijab & is appropriate for various work ...

Rebecca asked Erin Berry, Collins Aerospace Added Tuesday, November 24, 2020 at 12:46 PM Are there jobs for mechanical engineers? And do you have to travel a lot as a mechanical engineer? or as electrical? I am interesting in both mechanical and electrical engineering but people tell me that there isn't a lot of jobs for mechanical engineers nowadays. Is that true? I also want to have a family and be a mom so I don't want to have to travel a lot. Do you have to travel a lot as a mechanical or electrical engineer? How do I know which one is right for me?
