Text Box:              Because engineering careers rely on constant innovation, engineering majors should thrive in a changing environment. Likewise, a strong candidate for an engineering major should learn to communicate well and to work productively as part of a team. Despite the occasional competition between engineers, the most important innovations occur when engineers team up and collaborate fully.  To thrive as an engineering college major, prepare yourself as early as possible with coursework in mathematics and science, as well as literature, history, and social sciences.  Because engineering majors analyze solutions to human problems, a broad background in understanding those problems can make a huge difference when investigating human needs. A background in history, for example, can help an engineering major understand the ramifications of a potential solution. Exposure to the social sciences can spawn discussion of the kinds of problems for engineers to investigate. Even the study of literature can add that extra creative spark in the mind of an engineering major who might one day dream up a critical solution in the same way an author conjures up a character or a scene.  Below are some examples of occupations that apply to engineering majors.
