My turn:
1. Have him attend a ABET accredited UNIVERSITY.
2. Have him pursue a PE license.
3. Have him coop or at least shadow different fellow engineers, simply to find his passion.
Me:
Jim Gloe
Nuclear Engineer
Bachelor only in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with a “minor” in philosophy from Missouri University-Columbia.
Graduate studies at The Ohio State University
PE license= 022971
Okay, I used to interview perspective engineers also..,
There is no thing better than hands on experience.
For example, when interviewees would ask where I got my education..,
I said “plowing corn on my Massey Ferguson diesel”.
Point is, I agree with all the above BUT it is ultimately your son’s decision.
He must find his PASSION.
Frankly, I am proud of your SON simply because we need more engineers.
Period.
