Your first step is to go to guidance office at your child's school. The guidance or college counseling officer at the school usually have a lot very useful information about aptitude testings and career development. They also might suggest your child to take some professional tests as well. 2.There are some available tools for student major choice or career development. The following is what Rutgers University uses for their students in terms of careers and majors
• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator This personality instrument is based on psychological types and temperaments. It provides information about your personality style and the way that you interact with other people. This information is used to help you understand the relationship between personality and careers.
• Self-Directed Search The Self-Directed Search is a self-scored inventory that can be used to explore and identify academic and career options based upon interests and skills.
• SkillScan The SkillScan is a card sort exercise that explores seven skill categories. It will help you to identify and label your skill sets. The card sort results can then be linked to career options. It can also assist with career development concerns, including resume writing and interviewing techniques.
• Strong Interest Inventory The Strong Interest Inventory provides information on overall patterns of interests that can be explored for both immediate and long-range career, educational and leisure planning. It is designed to expand your thinking in the areas of career exploration and planning.
3.This question is too broad to me. This requires specific universities to compare. Each university or college has different approaches even though many colleges do have common elements for a specific major.
4.Majoring computer science or computer engineering is a special track that colleges and universities tend to look into student applications more carefully. Colleges and universities recognize that academic majors students choose would often change after they arrive the school. However, a student who applies for computer major, more so for computer engineering, should present that she or he has enough experience about computer in college applications and that experience could positively work on behalf of applicants. I strongly recommend that a student intending to major computer science or computer engineerig would have some related experience with this field before applying for this major!
