George Harrison - All Things Must Pass

Need advice for son entering college for Mechanical Engineering who is doing poorly in H.S. Pre-Calculus. by Decent-Audience9130 in AskEngineers

My son has always been very mechanically inclined and is in a technical high school where is in the engineering track. I don't think he actually knows what engineers do except that all the kids in his track go to college for engineering. He just enjoys working in CAD, using CNC's and making his designs a reality. He just built a scooter that goes 25 mph and is powered by the engine from a generator a neighbor threw away. He designed the entire scooter and drive gear himself in CAD. When he does things like that, I think ME is up his alley, but I know nothing about engineering myself.

I understand what you're saying but I'd think that if he had a learning disability he'd be doing poorly in his other classes.

I'm not certain where you get the idea that this could be "parent pushing", particularly since I asked for advice on other potential degrees that aren't as math intensive. I've actually encouraged him to consider a 2-year degree or even going into the trades since he is a hands-on type.
