Keeping Engineering Alive over the Summer
It may not feel like it now, but there's really not a ton of time left before this semester is over and you're all done with classes. While I'm sure you're looking forward to a little time off, to a summer job, or perhaps even an internship, it's always a good idea to make sure you keep your engineering skills sharp and at the ready - because classes only get more difficult from here. Here's a couple of options you could explore to stay sharp and stay involved in the engineering life outside of college.
Some basic electronics projects are always fun, and can get you the hands-on experience you might want. Come up with some kind of project. Maybe there's some kind of tool you could use around the house, or just something that might be neat to have. A lot of towns have makerspaces in them, with lab equipment and hardware you can use as well as a community of other makers who'll be eager to help you out.
Additionally, some public school districts offer adult education classes that teach certain practical skills. I once took a basic home electrician course through one of these programs, and learned a lot about how residential wiring works and got some good practice working with wires. Similar classes exist for loads of skills, so ask around and check out your county's website to learn about what might be available to you.
