I definitely don't think you're too old. In my class, there were several non traditional students who ranged in age from 30-50. Each and every one of those non traditional students was an absolute treat to have in class. They brought different perspectives to our class discussions and group projects and that's truly what engineering is about: collaboration. If engineering is something you want to do, I would definitely suggest pushing yourself and non worrying about your age. Feel free to reach out.
