High School Courses to Take

• Math
• Science
• Computers
• English
• Foreign Languages
• Humanities

You should take as much math and science as possible. These courses are the foundation of engineering.

Engineers also need communication skills. Engineers usually work in teams and have to work with people in management, finance, construction and more. Engineers write reports to document their work so others can use it or add to it. The best engineers are not just math and science geeks. They are those that have a well-rounded education. The best ones do great engineering with their math and science background, but then convince someone to provide financial support for their project and work with the construction forces to actually build something.
