Reset Sort By Default EngineerGirl Team , Answered Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 11:22 PM Hi Princess, Becoming an engineer usually starts with a 4-year engineering degree from a college or university after high school. From there people may choose to pursue a professional license, and some go on to get a Masters or PhD degree. Others may take the engineering education and pursue an entirely different career such as medicine or law.
