There is no way around it. Engineering students must give presentations to their classmates and to their professors. I will explain why this is common in so many of your engineering courses. If you are terrified of presenting, I will also provide some helpful hints so you can best prepare yourself.
It is not all doom and gloom. Many engineering students can claim they have failed an engineering course. It’s okay to dwell for a day or two. But then, you can use this opportunity as a wakeup call. It’s time to see your professor and tell your parents what they need to hear.
What to do if you failed an engineering course? This post may apply to you at some point during your engineering career. Please read it as many times as necessary. I failed my fair share of engineering courses yet I still thrived in a professional career. Trust me when I tell you it is not as bad as you think.
We are in mid-April and the semester will be coming to an end in a few weeks. This is the time when students want to know exactly where they stand in their courses. Some of you want to know. Those of you who are worried about your final grades want to know where you stand. And then some of you calculate backwards by attempting to find the minimum final exam score in order to pass. Learn here how you can finish your engineering semester on a strong note.
Many engineering students may fail an engineering exam. If you are not used to failing, it can be a jolting shock. You then decide to make it mean something negative about you. “Maybe I’m not as smart as I thought …this is devastating…I didn’t work hard enough”, etc. And the negative thoughts keep rolling in. I am here to tell you it is not as devastating as it feels when you fail an engineering exam. Read on for ideas on what to do next.
Would your engineering professors indicate you are a marvelous, kind person but that they would never hire you? Maybe your engineering professors appreciate your attempts to utilize office hours for self improvement. Perhaps they admire your great work ethic and personal drive. Or, could the opposite be true. Do your engineering professors know nothing about who you are? What kinds of comments would they make about you if I were to ask them?
