Most universities have four-year plans or similar on the department website or university catalog. This is actually pretty easy to figure out.Similarly, the more I learn about mech eng, it will be a lot of math and physics theory in the first 2-3 years. Now, I may know this, but I don’t know how we expect kids to know this without some help, summer programs etc.
E.g. https://catalog.sjsu.edu/preview_progra ... &poid=2933
What's difficult is knowing what it is like to actually work as a mechanical engineer. I don't have an answer for you there. High school internship/mentorship opportunities aren't common but could help if you were able to find one. Or lean on your friends/colleagues or the parents of your kid's friends.
