What It Takes to Be an Engineer

Of all the college students who start out studying engineering, around 50% will change their major at some point during their college experience. It’s not for everyone. Engineering is a tough discipline and requires a specific skill set and personality.

So, what does it take to become an engineer? There are three key traits that engineers must have, each gifted from God:

• Think abstractly
• Have a passion to be an engineer
• Self-control in using time

In a lecture titled "What It Takes to Be an Engineer," Cedarville University professor Dr. Larry Zavodney introduces students to what is required of a Christian engineer.
