Entrepreneurship is now a popular college major, with a focus on studying new venture creation.

Join GEAR UP Georgia on December 8 at 6:00 pm to learn more about a variety of careers in engineering from industry leaders.
Careers in engineering are constantly evolving and new processes and technologies develop all the time. This allows engineers to stay on the ball and react to new problems and challenges in their chosen field.
Engineering careers vary in terms of their job responsibilities, but also in their working locations. As an engineer, you could be working in an office, in a laboratory, on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean, in a factory, or even in outer space. Each engineering discipline requires professionals with very specific skill-sets. However, every area of this sector is as complex as the next. Consequently, all engineers need to have strong mathematical skills, logic, and the ability to rise to intellectual and practical challenges.
