Manufacturing Engineer Blue Origin Seattle, Washington, United States
If you're struggling in engineering school, don't lose hope! This session will cover my three step framework for securing full-time job offers before you graduate, eliminating common fears associated with engineering and conquering imposter syndrome by turning your weaknesses into superpowers.
In high school, I failed many math classes. Peers taunted me about my horrible grades, but I stubbornly decided to major in mechanical engineering because I was fascinated by new technologies.
During my first internship, I learned that engineering is NOT purely math and science. It's using the art of problem-solving to design rides at Disneyland, stages for music festivals, the next generation of electric vehicles, and more!
Engineering school was challenging, but today, I am working as a rocket engineer to build one of the world's most powerful engines. If I could do it, so can you! With proper guidance and grit, anyone can manifest a thriving engineering career.
Learning Objectives:
Describe common fears around math and science preventing you from pursuing a career in engineering.
Explore internships and full-time job offers before you graduate from college.
Beat imposter syndrome by transforming your weaknesses into superpowers.
