Education Requirements for Engineers
The minimum requirements for becoming an engineer consist of a bachelor’s degree from a university accredited engineering program. A degree in engineering might go a long way, but it is also possible to become an engineer with a degree in math, physics, or even computer science.
Keep in mind that there is quite a bit of math involved with most engineering programs or similar degrees. You can expect to take the following courses; algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. You will also be expected to take a large variety of science coursework. Typical science courses for engineering majors include; biology, chemistry and physics. Depending on your area of emphasis, you may also need to take some computer programming or computer applications coursework.

With the heavy coursload involved in an engineering program, you should come prepared. Most university engineering programs require students to complete two years of high school algebra and one year of trigonometry for admissions. Engineering programs commonly require one year of both chemistry and physics for admissions as well.
After college, many engineering graduates choose to pursue a job. It is possible to graduate and start earning $40,000 a year right out of college. A smaller subset of engineering graduates pursue in advanced degree in engineering (i.e. a Master's or Ph.D) in Engineering. If you are considering a graduate degree in engineering, you will need a high score on the GRE Test. The GRE test is the graduate level admissions exam required by most all graduate schools.
