These models are amazing. I've never tried building anything out of wood like this. Derek please share your model photos I'm sure they're really good ☺️

I think a training program or apprenticeship would be the right approach with maybe a sponsored degree in the future. So much to think about. The thought of aeronautics engineering sounds good.

Is anyone online now for a messenger chat? I won't take up too much time. Can't get to sleep anyway so I'll be awake for an hour or so.

I think I'd be interested in something like a government backed training scheme, especially if it's earn whilst you learn.

I didn't think about the design and creative bit with my fashion portfolio. Everyone says my ideas are creative and I suppose engineering needs a bit of creativity or maybe I'm wrong?

Not many girls go into STEM and I think it's due to pressure from other girls, not guys who don't want women in engineering jobs. I'm grateful for all this information, I'm so pleased I joined here 🙂

Hmm. I've helped my neighbour out with his model railway and learned a bit about controllers and Arduino boards. That's about it. I doubt they'd want to hear about my likes with fashion or my fashion portfolio I've kept as a hobby.

I don't mind doing a bit of volunteer work at an engineering firm over the summer even if it's just to get a taster. I won't try taking the car apart 😳😂 I'd break it or cause a car crash.

Lots of options to consider I guess. I'm no good at interviews I get nervous and muddle things up but I guess the practice would be good for me 🙂

A degree with some hands on experience would be amazing. I just need to make sure I pick the right area of engineering I'd enjoy. It's so vast 🤯

Looks like I've come to the right place. I guess this forum will give me insights into all types of engineering? From what you guys say I'm going to get in touch with Rolls-Royce to see if they can send me some information on their training schemes.

I'm grateful for all this feedback I didn't expect this so it's making my day 🙂

Thank you for the quick replies I appreciate it 🙂 Aeronautical engineering sounds interesting to me. Would it be good for me to contact companies like Airbus, RollsRoyce or British Airways to see if they have a graduate or type of training scheme?

My friends are not STEM but I love science. They also say I don't look like the engineering type but what do they know 🙂

Hi everyone.

Ive signed up to get some advice. I want to go into mechanical engineering or engineering of some sort. Lecturers advised to sign up to a forum so I chose this one.

Any insight or possibilities would be most welcome from anyone's experience on here.

I look forward to some replies or DMs whatever is easier. Thank you all in advance.
