  • Abstract
    We all make mistakes. It goes with the human condition. Someone has said, “He who never made a mistake never made anything.” However, it is wise and better to learn from other people´s mistakes and avoid them. In this article, we share seven common mistakes engineering students make and how to avoid them. We are talking about specific mistakes that create problems for students and prevent them from achieving the best possible results.
