<p>I am highly interested in learning about how I can make my own products/start my own business.</p>
<p>Creating my own product, like an entrepreneur does.</p>
<p>Would a Mechanical Engineering Degree serve me well? or Materials Engineering?</p>
<p>Or should I just stick to business and just do my own research and toy around with product design that way.</p>
<p>I think it is a lot harder to self teach Thermodyanmics and Biomaterials than to self teach “How to Write a Business Plan” and “Business Calculus”. </p>
<p>If you want to invent the actual product, it will be a lot easier to either find someone to help you mass produce it/market it than it would be to convince an engineer to give you his product (probably)!</p>
<p>If you are a top student and wouldn’t mind a teeny college near Boston… check out Franklin Olin College of Engineering.</p>
<p>You would need the ‘tools’ to make the product so it would be beneficial to have an engineering degree (either general, product design - mechanical, or electrical/computer) depending on what area interests you. If you come up with an idea without having engineering abilities you’d, most likely, have to hire someone to design and make your product. I second F. W. Olin College of Engineering. It’s difficult to gain admission but that college produces top entrepreneurial engineers.</p>
