Derek Added Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at 7:18 PM I am currently studying industrial engineering in college, but i really want a career more similar to mechanical engineering. Will a degree in industrial be acceptable for a mechanical job? due to mechanical engineering being competitive i will not be able to get into the department for undergrad. when i say i'm more interested in the mechanical field i mean like designing a part or product, as opposed to what an industrial engineer usually does.

Monika Added Saturday, June 9, 2018 at 8:10 PM I read the list of reasons why one should be an engineer and it sounded 100% like me. I never considered it before because I thought it was all math. Now I'm interested, but not sure where to start. I'm an adult and have been wanting to go back to school to make a career change for a while. I already have a bachelor's degree in art, but of course that isn't very useful. I am kind of intrigued now by this career field, but there are so many options that I don't know where to begin. I figured I should pursue a second bachelor's, but are there lower level classes that I should try to start with in order to figure out what branch of engineering might be right for me? Thanks! Answers 1 Kate Fay, Verizon Answered Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at 12:37 PM Hi Monika, I would suggest looking into what colleges you are looking to attend. Some colleges have intro to engineering classes that give you an overview of each type of engineering. This would help you decide which one you are most interested in. If ...
