      You have to be good at maths and science of course. But also you have to be able to work together with other people in teams, and to be able to write reports and give talks to explain what you’re doing. You learn all these things in College.

      I think the skill to always keep learning. You need to understand that you won’t always have the answer to everything! It’s ok to admit that, and try learn more & keep asking questions

      Liking solving problems is a great skill to have. Engineering work is just solving problems, so if you like doing that you will make a great engineer.

      You have to be good at thinking about the way things work and trying to work out what’s wrong if they aren’t working properly.
