Survey: Engineering seniors study the most – USATODAY.com.

If you are thinking about pursuing a career as an engineer, here is something to take note of.  Engineering seniors studied the most of the various majors studied (19 hours/week).  You might like math or physics, but be sure you are also prepared to work hard if you decide to follow this path.

The key to finding the right path is to understand your own values, abilities and interests.  If you need help in identifying any of these, talk to your counselor!  We have a variety of activities and instruments that will help you discover more about yourself.  The more you know, the better you can plan.  The better you plan, the more successful and satisfied you will be.
