The document discusses whether engineering is the right field for someone. It defines engineering as applying math and science to create useful things for people. It highlights some cool engineering projects, like a high-lumen LED light and robots that can balance. The document recommends the best way to know if you'd like engineering is to try it yourself by learning online for free through MOOCs and coding with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
