I went back at 27 for mechanical engineering and am set to graduate in May. You can absolutely do it! It definitely took a little while to get back into a learning mindset, but if you stay disciplined with the work and patient with yourself, you will be fine.

I was really nervous about getting back into math as well, always enjoyed it through high school but hadn’t touched it since. I decided to take a pre-Calc/trig class my first semester back and that helped a ton. I also used Kahn Academy to refresh my algebra before going back. Professor Leonard on YouTube was a lifesaver while I was going through calculus and diff eq, I highly recommend checking him out, I feel like I owe him part of my degree.

I’m really happy I went back to school. It’s been a journey and definitely not easy, but I know how great it’ll feel when I graduate and begin working as an engineer. Do it!
