Should I apply to engineering if I am still unsure whether I am suited to it?
Yes. You can consider applying even if you are not yet certain that engineering suits you. First, check whether you are interested in the mathematics and science, design, and problem-solving involved, and whether you are willing to work on the required study. Review the curriculum, entrance subjects, possible pathways, and differences between departments, and use information sessions or trial classes to judge the fit before deciding.
Key points
- Reflect on your interest in mathematics, science, design, experiments, and problem-solving.
- Compare each department’s curriculum, entrance subjects, and possible post-graduation pathways.
- Use information sessions, trial classes, and discussions with current students or faculty as additional evidence.
Things to check
- Entrance subjects, department structures, and systems for changing pathways or taking courses vary by university, faculty, and academic year, so check official information.
