Mechanical or Electrical Engineering?
Hello, I'm currently a first year engineering student and I have to apply for a stream in a few months for what type of engineering im going into.
I'm thinking either mechanical or electrical engineering but I have no idea which to choose!
I was wondering if anyone (in mech or EE) could offer some points about what they enjoy in their field and the types projects you work on.
I personally enjoy vehicle design (mainly engines and drive train) but im worried that the technology in internal combustion engines is on its way out (new sources of energy rising i.e. electric/hybrid tech)
Thanks for any advice!
NOTE: the main thing diverting me away from mechanical is I'm having this weird thought that electrical engineering is replacing the jobs available for mechanical. I know there's always place for mechanical but I keep thinking its being outsourced

VegaBoth these trades (MEch and Electrical) are two of the old trades in engineering and they have their own beauty. They have their own scope. and I personally don't think one type can replace other. Though what I have seen is that the Electrical Engg courses are less in number as compared to Mechanical engg.
I think, you are little too much worried about it. 😀 If I have to say it in a sentence I would say "Go for what you like to do". It's not your stearm that gives you job but YOUR TALENT. -
darlacooper[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Both mechanical and electrical have vast career opportunities related to it. It is true that one can̢۪t replace the other as each has its own importance.
