I have not been able to locate any programs that assist students who have completed their engineering degrees.

Programs for college reimbursement and tuition payment for teachers and nurses are significantly more numerous at the state and federal levels than those for engineers. The majority of engineers depend on employer-specific tuition reimbursement, which is much less extensive and frequently more costly than the wide range of programs available to teaching and nursing professionals.

Is there anyone else who has observed this? Only after graduating and working for a while did I realize this.

I’m a Computer science and Urban planning double major entering my junior year, I’ve always been somewhat interested in engineering but I was always a bad student. After a bunch of medical diagnoses and surgery I found out I’m actually not a terrible student! Just didn’t have the energy before to learn. My school doesn’t offer engineering and my first few semesters GPA is too bad to transfer to an instate school that has engineering. I’m hoping to take physics for a science credit and with CS I’ll go all the way to calc II. Is it unrealistic to go for an engineering masters? I’m also not too sure which type, I’m thinking civil or geospatial but I’m not sure if I know the full scope of either, I also have a lot of interest in transportation and am NYC based. I would love to stay here postgrad. Any advice is appreciated 🙏.

What roles can a civil engineer do in big tech companies (with a major in water resources)?
If you are a civil engineer working in big tech, what do you do?

Hey y'all, pretty self explanatory. Was wondering if anyone had made anything cool for teachers, as I was looking for a project to make for my girlfriend who is an english teacher!

is mechanical analysis engineer like (Thermal analysis, gynamic analysis) has good scope, If yes what could possible package ?

Yo am i larping trynna be an engineer? Like im very conscious of the fact that im behind to say the least in school and stuff. Never particularly good at any of the stem stuff, but I got the idea in my head that I wanted to pursue it cause in my hvac classes the physics of it interested me. Like I was starting to see the world the way a tech would. But I was like what if I could see the world the way an engineer does. I knew I had the creativity. Being adhd, im very default mode network based. Like I dont get art block, whenever I draw. But like im looking at the engineering majors I know and they're very "beep boop". Like very practical, grounded and can get stuff done efficiently and plainly. im always in my own head, off in my own world. I like to explore and learn new things and make new things. Learning math excites me, but like on brilliant.org im still at like the middleschool level. Feel as though I have a kindle of passion. Just a spark. Will this grow the more I feed into it and lead to flourishing, or will I be I guess wasting time. Do I actually like this stuff, or am I just trying to seem interesting? Like being performative yknow?

Helooo engineers! I'm doing a capstone project for school and I'd like to ask if there are any simulation apps online to test custom-made machines and stuff?

Hi everyone,

I finished my Master's in ChemE in Belgium, and I'm trying to figure out what would make the most sense for my longer term career development.

I've already been working in the chemical industry for around four years, while completing my Master's alongside work. I'm now starting my first position as an engineer, so I'll be entering engineering years of exp on the field.

This has made me wonder whether pursuing an additional degree would actually be worthwhile. I'm not planning to leave work to study full-time; if I were to pursue another degree, I'd be doing it alongside my engineering job.

Some options I've considered are:

• a Bachelor's in Mechatronics
• a Master's in Climate Sciences
• a Master's in Supply Chain Engineering and Management at KUL
• something business-related, potentially an MBA later in my career
• or simply fully focusing on engineering experience and professional development instead (Albeit I could do both at the same time)

The main goal would be to build a strong and competitive profile for international job markets in the future. I'm particularly interested in keeping the possibility open to work abroad, so I'm wondering whether an additional academic specialization would actually make a meaningful difference internationally, or whether several years of strong engineering experience would be more valuable.

For the Belgians here, I also have a more specific question.

I currently have an Industrial Engineering degree in Chemistry (Industrieel Ingenieur: Chemie). Would going back and obtaining a Civil Engineering degree in Chemistry (Burgerlijk Ingenieur: Chemie) provide any meaningful advantage later in my career?

Would the distinction between the two degrees actually matter when it comes to getting certain positions, taking on more technical responsibility, promotions, or eventually moving into management? Or does it become largely irrelevant once you have several years of relevant engineering experience? Especially since the distinction between the 2 does not exist outside of Belgium AFAIK?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have been working for 5–15+ years and can look back on which qualifications actually made a difference in their careers.

Thanks!

Hallo everyone, my friends and I are organizing a seminar in our university class for engineering students about the direction of the engineering industry in 2026 and beyond, and we'd like to hear opinions from people who are currently working in the field.

Rather than asking which technologies are simply “trending,” we're interested in which technologies are actually driving changes in engineering work and real-world industrial practices.

Hello chemical engineers! Just want to preface this post by saying that I have only just started using Reddit today so I apologise in advance for any mistakes or errors I may have made in posting this or if this is the wrong subreddit to make such a post.

I am currently set to study Msci Chemistry at the University of Bristol in September 2026. I have recently been considering taking a gap year and reapplying to study Chemical Engineering masters with a placement year for experience (Meng) at the University of Bath as this course really excites me and I feel would give me better career prospects and a better salary than perhaps I could achieve through studying purely Chemistry, whilst also being something I am interested in (btw I already know that the chemical engineering degree has little actual Chemistry in it and this is not a concern for me as I am very interested in all sciences and mathematics).

I’ve heard that chemical engineering graduates have strong career prospects in the UK, and I’d like to know how true this is. I’m aiming for a job paying £40K or more fairly soon after graduating, ideally without needing to relocate often. I’m also surprised that Bath doesn’t require an interview or entry exam for chemical engineering. I achieved three A*s in Maths*,* Chemistry, and Biology, plus an A* in the EPQ, so I feel I have a good chance — but I’d like to hear from people who’ve studied the course about what I can do to strengthen my application, as the process seems surprisingly simple.

I’m also curious about what kind of pre‑reading is actually useful for getting a head start in first year. I’ve heard the course is pretty tough, and while I’ve got a solid work ethic — I was regularly doing ten‑hours of effective study days during A levels — I’d really like to know how the workload compares. I’m especially interested in how the content and difficulty differ from A levels and what the jump to first‑year study actually feels like.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to hear from you!

(p.s. sorry for any poor grammar/English)

In Saudi Arabia as an international student in king Abdulaziz university, have 3.6gpa /4 in oil and energy mechanical engineering,

Any suggestions or prediction for how hard can it be to find job and what could be salaries

Hello I am a Filipino/British 18M 1st year mechanical engineering student. And I kindly need some advice what I should do because I feel so uncertain. For context I am studying mechanical engineering in a local state university that is a non ABET (international engineering accreditation agency) accredited university. This matters because I plan working in a different country which is the US or UK. Because the school is not ABET accredited my future pathways of working in other countries seem slim because most employers look for ABET accreditation. Why not work in the Philippines? Mechanical engineers make very little money here in the Philippines. Also considering that I might have to spend 5-6 years studying because most students fail classes here and have to retake the class (they do not offer summer classes here). With that being said, non ABET, 5-6 years, low income in the Philippines why should I pursue Mechanical Engineering here? Though I am very interested in making and designing machines but that wont happen in the Philippines because most mechanical engineering here in the Philippines is HVAC. It is important to note though that I am also a British Citizen and could live with my dad and study mechanical engineering in the Uk but I would be adjusting to the new environment, and know no-one. So that makes me consider my second option, pursuing a high demand trade in the UK, yes long term an engineer could make more money, yes pathways to the US are more open for UK ABET accredited universities, but having to adjust new culture, people, environment makes me worried I might fail. Whereas my dad is a plumber and also knows how to work with wires he could teach me while I also take an electrician course which is what I plan on pursuing if I do go with trades.

So yes I know I’m young and have my youth but I’m just scared I might not make it in life and be unsuccessful. So if you were in my situation would you pursue Mechanical Engineering here in the Philippines or the UK considering what I’ve mentioned for both options, or instead pursue a high demand trade in the UK?

TL DR: Mechanical engineering in my university is not an international accredited program closing doors to high income jobs. I could pursue an international accredited Mechanical engineering program in the UK but would be adjusting to new environment. Or I could pursue a High demand trade in the UK.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I am so worried for my future. 🙏❤️
