      I would say to keep asking questions and having an interest in how things work around you is probably the best advice I could give.
      There is so much engineering around us day to day if we take time to stop, think and ask questions it’s a great and easy way to learn.

      Stay curious. Engineers are interested in how the world around them works so by asking questions like “why does that work?” or “how does that work” is really important.
      Also don’t give up. It’s rare you might solve a problem first time round. To be a good engineer you need to be stubborn in your efforts!
