🎉 Happy first day of school!
Let’s hear from a current BYU Engineering student! Whether it’s your first day of college or your last first day of college, we can all use a little advice.
“I’m Taylor Syme, studying Engineering here at BYU! Here are a few things I wish I knew before diving into engineering and some advice for incoming students:
- have fun with your engineering skills and build things outside of class! I’ve made a ultralight aircraft, engines, and electrical circus, and much more just for fun, and you can too!
-don’t compare yourself to others! Go at your own pace!”
Check our stories for more advice from Taylor!
Welcome (back) to the College of Engineering — we’re glad you’re here! 💙
