Answer 2

Of course! I am fully deaf and have worked as a bridge design engineer since 2005. Most companies will hire you if you are qualified, regardless if you are deaf or not. Getting through an engineering school with interpreters is a must. But once you get to the private/public sector, you will need to learn how to get by without interpreters many times because they will not want to spend the $$ on it. Just have a good attitude (none of that deaf power bullshit), work harder than everyone else, and network as much as you can. If you are a good worker, your co-workers will more likely than not be willing to "interpret" for you or make sure that you are getting all the relevant information. Good luck!!

To GUEST 3567, Of course Deaf people become architect. Chech with National Techincial Insititue for the Deaf, Rochester, N.Y under www.rit.edu They have training program for deaf to learn and become architect. Of course, Deaf people have best eyes than hearing (able to talk and speak) people. That's truth. It is very sad to see that many companies resist to hire deaf people. Once companies resist them, they make them on welfare forever. Hearing people are so blind and misunderstanding about what Deaf person can do and cant do, etc.

Answer 5

Of course deaf people can become architects and engineers!  I'm an architect and my son who is also deaf is a civil engineer.  He graduated from Northeastern U. in Boston.  This school has services for the deaf - interpreters, etc. They have great coop work programs. I agree with the poster above that you do need to work on your english because the tests are intensive and difficult. Today there are about 10 to 15 registered architects who are born deaf.  Salaries are always based on what skills you have.
