      Hello, I would say you need to be good at solving problems and technically minded, for example I loved playing with lego when I was young – that is basically engineering!

      Also you need to ask a lot of questions because it is the best way to learn!

      Problem solving ability! that is very important as an engineer!
      And task prioritisation!

      You have to be pretty good at managing time and know a fair amount of maths and science too though.

      Most engineers seems to be inquisitive but that may just be in research!
