In summary, the conversation revolves around the speaker's interest in engineering, specifically building and creating things like Lego and Gundam robots. They are unsure about which field of engineering to pursue and are seeking advice on the life of an engineer or engineering student. It is mentioned that liking Legos is not enough to be an engineer, but the speaker also enjoys math, science, and hands-on experiences which are important skills for an engineer. The conversation also touches on different fields of engineering and the possibility of pursuing mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering. The speaker is open to exploring different options and values the input and advice given.

I love to play lego and make gundam robot when i was young.now i still love to built sth.Is that means i love engineering?these hobby related to mechanical or civil?want to apply uni already. but still can't decide.T.T.

thanks for helping.

Liking Legos is not enough to be an engineer. Are you good at math and science? Do you like math and science, especially solving problems? This is very important to become a good engineer.

Debatable. Liking legos are a very good start at going into engineering :biggrin:

Hmm...I'd say Legos translates more to Mechanical Engineering (also includes building cars, motors, etc.). Unless you really like building bridges, making roads etc, I'd avoid civil (just me). Electrical is also another option.

I guess it really just depends on what you want to do. It sounds like engineering is a good fit for you, nut it may take awhile before you realize what field you really want to pursueo.

FAQ: Are these hobby suitable for study engineering?which?

What are some examples of hobbies that are suitable for studying engineering?

Some examples of hobbies that are suitable for studying engineering include building and fixing electronics, designing and building structures, coding and programming, and working with robotics.

How can hobbies help prepare me for studying engineering?

Hobbies can help develop skills and interests that are relevant to engineering, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on experience with tools and materials. They can also provide a glimpse into different areas of engineering, allowing you to explore and discover what interests you the most.

Are there any hobbies that are not suitable for studying engineering?

Most hobbies can be beneficial for studying engineering, as they can help develop skills and interests that are relevant to the field. However, if a hobby is solely focused on activities that do not require any critical thinking or problem-solving, it may not be as helpful in preparing for engineering studies.

Can I include my hobbies in my engineering studies?

Absolutely! Hobbies can be a great addition to your engineering studies, as they can provide hands-on experience, practical application of concepts learned in class, and a unique perspective on the subject matter. You can also use your hobbies to showcase your skills and interests in job interviews and on your resume.

How much time should I dedicate to my hobbies while studying engineering?

This ultimately depends on your personal schedule and priorities. It's important to find a balance between your studies and hobbies, as both can be beneficial for your personal and professional development. It's recommended to set aside some time each week for your hobbies, while still prioritizing your studies and responsibilities.
