Great read!

It was well written and I found that lessons in the book could apply to high schoolers as well. Being a good intern is important to show potential future employers what they could get as a full time hire. Ask questions and learn what you can.

Just what I needed. Thank you!

Becoming an Engineer by Jake Ryland was an incredibly insightful and empowering read for me. The practical tips and tricks he shares, based on his own experiences of becoming an engineer, made the book even more impactful. He truly understands the challenges and struggles of an aspiring engineer, which made his advice feel genuine and relatable.

The insights throughout the book boosted my confidence and motivation, reminding me that I am fully capable of succeeding in this field. It’s rare to find a book that makes you feel both prepared and empowered, and I’m so grateful to Jake Ryland for writing it. Thank you for such a great book and for reminding me that I can achieve my goals.

Motivated

This book makes me want to better myself in all aspects of my life. It offers simple solutions for a daunting degree and helps mentally prepare you for what is to come. I am definitely going to buy a copy for my younger brother(about to begin high school) because he will benefit greatly from it, as will I.

Great Info!

A quick read and full of information I wish I'd been armed with when I started school as an engineering student. This would be a great gift for a high school student considering going to school to be an engineer.

Awesome Book!

Brought back memories to my engineering school days, definitely wish I would’ve had a book like this when I started school. Although the title is geared toward engineers, it’s an amazing book for engineers and non-engineers. A lot of info that can be applied to other majors. Give it a listen, great tips!

A Solid Book explaining how to be a better scholar

I have gone into this book mostly just expecting a summary of the author's engineering school journey, and I ended up really learning how he managed to turn around his mentality to pass with flying colors from a seemingly hopeless situation. I am just about to graduate high school, and I am so glad to have found this little gem to prepare for my Mechanical Engineering degree, I really hope I can use this book to learn from him and apply it to my academic career, as well as life in general.
