Can I be an engineer?

You will know if you were lazy in math or simply do not have what it takes to do the higher math. You must be honest with yourself about this because if your not you will waste a lot of time in a major you will never get. I use to be a high school teacher and I have a 4 year degree but it was in a subject that I could finish. I would have loved to have majored in the sciences but I knew I would never get through the higher math so I choose a business major. Let me make clear when I say higher math I do not mean algebra, I am talking about calculus and advanced calculus for an engineering degree. Just to get through any college major you must master algebra and algebra 2. Also if you barely passed high school there maybe some other subjects you will need to raise your grades in and redo but getting a degree is doable, however you must work hard this time as college will not waste their time with a goof off.

It sounds like you may not have the course work and grades from your high school to get admitted to college, much less an engineering curriculum with higher standards. But not all hope is lost. If you have a community college in your area, see if you can get admitted to that. That will allow you to take the classes in math and science you need and see if you have the ability and drive to master them. Some community colleges also have engineering prep classes you can take to see how that works for you. This may or may not work out for you, but at least you will have given yourself the opportunity to find out.





If you do not have a community college nearby, you can try taking the math and science classes you need at a college in night school or one at a time without entering the program. It will take you longer, but it can build you a record that will convince an engineering school to admit you, if you are successful. Good luck!

physics is most imp in every stream of engg..,if you are not good at algebra physics and you always cheat then sorry to say this but you can't pass or clear even your first year...try doing bsc it's same as engg but the difference is that it's somewhat simpler than engg

Yes, you can drive a train in the USA.

because i like from long time and i am not good in class

Hello, I am currently 18 and just graduated highschool (barely) ,After I graduated my parents asked me what I was planning on doing now and I told them I honestly had no Idea what to do ...after sitting around the house for 2 months I suddenly became intrested in how things work ,now I want to get an education in engineering,..my problem is that you need to know your Algebra,Chemestry,& Physics.



I am very ashamed to admit that I never payed attention in school and only graduated because I would cheat off of my freinds..but I was wondering if maybe I could learn these things during college .I am 100% sure this is what I want to do but im curious to know if I missed my chance.
