    I'm a senior in high school and I'm still unsure about what I want to major in college. I know for sure that I want to work in the entertainment industry (Gaming, Film, or Music) and I've had a deep passion for art however I'm aware that having an art major would most likely not be the smartest move (due to typical low salaries). So far I've taken AP 2D Art and am currently taking AP CSA and AP Stats if that helps. I am aware that Software Engineering is an option however that field is very ...

    I have became really interested in engineering I like Biomedical Electrical, I love the whole idea of it but I'm clueless how to make it a career. I would like to start with a small portion, then bigger. I am truly insisting on the cause and would love to participate in the community of engineering.

    I'm really interested in the field of engineering but I have't really figured out what application of engineering to pursue. I have a great passion for film and figured I could start looking in to the possibilities that area would provide for me as an engineer. I have heard of Disney Imagineers, and will be pursuing that opportunity next year as this summer I have a job lined up. I was wondering, however, if there were other opportunities in which I can step in to the film industry as an ...

    Hi Elizabeth,
    There are plenty of opportunities in film and entertainment for EE/ME. Of course, I would recommend Disney Imagineering if you would like to work on projects for Disney Parks that involve making the ride experiences. They have a variety or ...

    Hello Selma, I am a ceramic engineering student at Alfred University who also works in technical theater for the performing arts department at Alfred University. I am currently looking for opportunities that combine materials engineering and entertainment after graduation. I was wondering if you know of or currently interact with any material engineers or companies who hire material engineers? Thank you! Claire

    Hi Claire,

    Off the top of my head, I would suggest looking into Disney's Imagineering that provides rides and props for the Disneyland and Disney World parks and resorts. They always need fabricators of different levels and there might be research ...

    Hello! My name is Lindsey and I will be graduating with my Mechanical Engineering degree in August. As I'm currently looking for jobs, I came across your profile on EngineerGirl. I never even considered doing something like working for LucasFilms until I read your profile. That sounds absolutely amazing! Plus, being a big Star Wars fan doesn't hurt :) I was looking around on their careers page and noticed that they only had openings for Engineer II and III. What advice do you have for ...

    Hi Lindsey,

    Yes, most folks do not consider entertainment and media as traditional engineering roles and do not even look for jobs in this industry. I encourage any new graduate to look at the Disney job site (Lucasfilm is part of this). Within Disney, ...

    When you use or create animations, what program do you usually use? I am almost eleven years old and have been producing and editing movies using iMovie with an app called Movie FX. I really enjoy it and want to know what else is out there that can help me grow.

    Hi Laila,

    At your age those are fine tools to play with and you could start using Apple Motion as well. Also, I would suggest trying any free animation app that you see and you will see some are better then others. 

    Eventually, you will grow into ...

    I'm coming up on the end of my first year general engineering and am trying to decide between two engineering disciplines. I am very interested in the biomedical side of engineering and right now I have the option of going into a biomedical mechanical or electrical option. Through my first year my two favourite courses were a computer programming and a statics and dynamics course. Looking into mechanical engineering the one thing I am nervous about is some of the materials and fluid mechanics ...

    Hi Sarah,

    The nice thing about school is that you can try different things and subjects and if you plan on continuing to grad school you really have some time to try different things out. It sounds like you want to make a decision weather to be more ...
