I expected engineering to be more practical, with morereal-world projects right from the beginning. Instead, mystudies turned out to be largely theoretical. Prospective
engineering students should carefully study thecurriculum of each school they apply to, look atopportunities to do practical projects, and find out howearly they are expected to specialize.

Engineering programs in the U.S. are very hands on andfocus on getting you accustomed to read worldproblems. The courses concentrate on explaining
concepts rather than making you memorize material.Additionally, they mandate engineering students takeliberal studies courses to provide them with a well-rounded education.

The most noticeable aspect of U.S. education is
its emphasis on self-study and inquiry. A
student is expected to study and research byhimself to gain in-depth knowledge Professors
just act as a support system during your study.
