I know for sure I want to go into engineering in college I believe I want to go into mechanical engineering; however, I am open to all areas of engineer disciplines I really want to increase my knowledge of different coding programs, and I am open to learning more about any area of engineering before officially choosing which discipline I want to study in for the future
