To sign "engineering," start by forming both hands into "Y" handshapes, with your thumbs and pinkies extended and your other fingers curled. Bring your hands together in front of your chest so that the tips of your thumbs are touching. While keeping your thumbs connected, twist your wrists back and forth in opposite directions a few times.
Point to yourself for 'I,' sign 'college,' 'study,' and finish with the 'engineering' sign by twisting your connected 'Y' hands.
