Engineering is very math based. So you really need to do well in your math classes. Try to get into the highest math class you can before you get to college. Also make sure you take physics when you get to HS. Keep your grades up and study hard.

To be an engineer you must be a very motivated individual. You have to realize that one you get to college you must work very hard, this means you will not party as much as education, business, ag, music, or art majors. If you have to desire to solve problems, are stong in math and science then it may be a very good fit for you. Depending on where you are in math classes now, try to AP out of calc 1. The previous poster mentioned physics, which is also important, but no where near as important as math. You will need to know and understand derivative and integrals, you will do them in math....but that is worthless unless you understand what you are actually doing. The application is later on in your schooling i.e. junior and senior year. As far as how much time you should study, in HS study until you understand, not until you can pass the test, but until you understand the concepts and know why. In college my professors always said study 3 hours for each hour in class for the technical classes. It all depends. Good Luck!!! Engineering is not hard to do, it just takes motivation.

I'm an engineering student and to me i think that taking care of your mathematics and physics is very important..
for mechanical engineer (me) physics and mathematics are very important
civil engineer phys and Statistics
electric- math and electricity physics
computer and computer science would be programing basically -> C and C++ and Java ...
if u are in grade 10 u still have a long way to go and good luck in your studies..

In addition to math, physics, and chemistry, make sure to also take drafting classes. As far as how much time to devote, all I can say is lots and lots.
What I just mentioned is only the technical side, do not neglect writing or public speaking.
