INTRODUCTION

Attaining a college education is of utmost importance for personal and professional

growth as it provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in their chosen
field of study. College education offers a unique opportunity to engage in critical thinking,
problem-solving, and research, which are essential for a successful career. In addition, college
graduates are more likely to have better job prospects and higher earning potential. A college
degree is often a requirement for many high-paying jobs, and it provides individuals with a
competitive edge in the job market. Lastly, a college education offers a broader perspective
of the world and diverse cultures, providing individuals with a greater understanding of the
world around them.

THE PROBLEM

Difficulty in choosing a school and/or degree for engineering can be a major challenge
for aspiring engineers. The wide range of schools and degree programs available can be
overwhelming, making it difficult for students to decide which one is right for them. Some
students may not have a clear idea of what they want to study and may be only forced to
pick based on their family’s interest, while others may be unsure which specific engineering
discipline is best suited to their interests and abilities and lead to a great deal of stress and
indecision, as students try to navigate the many options available to them.

Another related issue is when students cannot decide what engineering degree to take
to match their potentials, skills, and interests. This can be particularly frustrating for students
who have a strong desire to pursue a career in engineering, but are unsure which area of
specialization would be the best fit for them. Without a clear understanding of their own
strengths and interests, it can be difficult for students to make informed decisions about their
future.

A lack of guidance as to what each engineering degree can offer can exacerbate this
problem. While some schools may provide general information about different engineering
disciplines, students may not have a comprehensive understanding of the curricular and non-
curricular activities associated with each degree which will make it difficult for students to
fully understand what they will be studying, what opportunities will be available to them, and
what their future career prospects might look like.

Finally, students may also be concerned about the employability of the engineering
course/degree they choose as so many different engineering disciplines are available, some
students may worry that they will choose a degree that will not lead to a fulfilling career.
Others may be concerned about the competitiveness of the job market, and whether they will
be able to secure a job after graduation which can further complicate the process of choosing
an engineering degree and make it even more challenging for students to find a path that is
right for them.
THE SOLUTION

Computer engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering are all distinct
fields of study that focus on different aspects of engineering. Computer engineering involves
the design and development of computer hardware and software, as well as computer systems
and networks. Electrical engineering, on the other hand, deals with the study and application
of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism and involves designing and developing of
electrical systems and devices, such as generators, motors, and circuits. Chemical
engineering, meanwhile, focuses on the design and development of chemical processes and
products, including the production of fuels, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. Overall,
these three diverse fields are crucial to modern society, which involves applying scientific and
mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain complex systems and structures in
which advancements have led to many technological breakthroughs and improvements in our
daily lives.

To be successful in engineering, individuals need a range of skills, including strong

analytical and critical thinking abilities, excellent communication skills, and a deep
understanding of math and science. Additionally, engineers must be creative, adaptable, and
able to work well under pressure, as they often face complex challenges and tight deadlines.

To develop skills and prepare for a career in engineering, students will typically engage
in a variety of activities both in and out of the classroom. In the classroom, they will study
core engineering concepts and work on projects and assignments that challenge them to think
creatively and apply what they've learned to real-world problems, this also includes peer-
review session which boosts socializing and collaborative learning. Outside the classroom,
students may participate in internships, co-op programs, or research projects, gaining hands-
on experience and working alongside experienced engineers.

Ultimately, the employability of an engineering degree is a major consideration for

many students. Fortunately, the demand for skilled engineers remains high, with many
industries actively seeking qualified candidates to fill a range of positions. However, the job
market can be competitive, and students must be prepared to work hard and stay up-to-date
with the latest technologies and industry trends in order to succeed in this dynamic field. By
developing strong skills and gaining practical experience, however, students can increase their
chances of success and secure a rewarding career in engineering.

CONCLUSION

Enrolling in computer, electrical, and chemical engineering courses can offer students
the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technologies, design innovative new products and
systems, and develop new materials and processes. These dynamic and rapidly evolving fields
offer a wealth of opportunities for students to apply their skills and knowledge, and to make
a real impact in the world around them. By pursuing these courses, students can position
themselves for a rewarding and exciting career in the tech and engineering industries.
