Answer from Adriana - Part 2
Answer from Adriana - Part 2
> What is the most enjoyable aspect of being an engineer? The opportunity to solve complex problems. You're always dealing with interesting problems that require deep thinking and the use of different techniques, from design thinking to machine learning, to be solved. > What high school courses may help me prepare for this career? Anything related to math, physics, and programming will be valuable. Biology can be helpful too, if you're interested in biotechnology. >What advice would you give to a high school student like me preparing for a future in engineering? Be curious and cultivate a diverse reading habit. Read widely, not only within the field of engineering and related areas, but also fiction and books on behavioral economics, ethics, psychology, and other topics. Reading allows us to step inside other minds and understand the world from different points of view. This is the best "superpower" you can develop to succeed in engineering.
