I have a BA in Math w/ a concentration in Management Sciences. Multiple courses in computer science and physics. Also have a Master in Math Education.
I need a change of career! My passion lies in the engineering field but at 27, I do not want to go back for another 4 year degree. I am willing to take engineering courses if need be, but do not want to sacrifice another 4 years.
So what would you suggest? I have been looking into internships and entry level positions, but any thoughts or recommendations would be great!How would a math teacher change careers to the engineering field?
It sounds like you have a lot of the prerequisites taken care of already, and a degree in electrical or mechanical engineering probably wouldn't take more than about two years. If you have a local college I would suggest calling their admissions office to see what their policy is on transfer students. You might only need to take the actual engineering courses, and transfer the math and business courses to take care of their %26quot;core%26quot; requirements. Most of the first two years of engineering is math and science anyways. Another option is to take a specific class, such as process controls, and then attempt to get hired as a specialist. With your background this is possible, especially in process controls. The class will be taught through the chemical engineering department, but it's all math and programming. You might be able to get an internship with those credentials. Good luck.
