Lorri asked Monique Frize, Carleton University and University of Ottawa AddedTuesday, February 3, 2026 at 9:55 PM How can I get back into engineering? Good evening - I am a 50 year old woman and haven't used my engineering degree. I want to use my degree. I realise I need to update my skills. What do I need to do to get back to engineering?

If you can take the time, it would be very helpful to do a Master's in a field related to your first degree. It is wonderful that you wish to reactivate your engineering career. Best wishes!
