It really doesn't matter if you know you're doing engineering. Do Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical if you aren't sure about the specifics because they'll transfer anywhere.

I chose aerospace solely because it's cool as fuck.

cool little anecdote. buddy of mine got his degree in mining engineering, and the company he worked for had him traveling alot. so much in fact, that it was cheaper for the company to pay for him to get his pilots license so he could fly himself everywhere.

now when he goes on trips, he just grabs the keys to the company plane. tis far out.

Chemical gets you the widest range of jobs. It allows you to get into the petroleum field if you so choose but also opens the door to chemical plants, power plants and to a lesser degree any manufacturing facility. I even have a friend that got hired into software development. You can also go on to become a doctor if you wish.

You can also get into wide fields of research if you choose to go that route. There's all sorts of shit from biomedical to nanotechnology to fucking pest control.

You also study a wide range of things. You get the in depth thermo that mechanicals get and the strong chemistry base of a chem major. We also have some knowledge of fluid flow like aerospaces.

On top of all that chemicals are thought of very highly in the engineering world and thought to be one of the hardest majors out there.

I like mechanical. Definitely one of the most versatile majors. Anything to do with robotics or controls are within our realm. Most of the defense technologies as well. Personally I'm aiming for the medical industry. Either medical robotics or bionics of some sort would be great.
(In mech, I've got a good deal of thermo, compE, EE, MatE, and Aero. Almost nothing regarding chem, bio, etc though.)

I dont know about most other schools but in our school, mechatronics is a focus under mechanical engineering. I was a mechatronics focus so I got an extra dose of EE, robotics, and programming. Otherwise you could have gone towards thermo / fluids or design as a focus.

Even just pure mechanical engineering we do much much more than just cars. Just about every physical system you see should have a ME behind it, even if its just for a small part.

The fuck is that? There are only like 5-6 core engineering disciplines, everything else is a specialization.

Mechanical, electrical, and chemical cover ~90% of knowledge in engineering fields. Most everything else is a specialization based on one of these 3.

Its a joke on how most ME curricula are thought to be more applied than other Engie courses, as where ChE, EE, GE, CoE and NE involve familiarizing oneself with a discipline and then applying engineering techniques, the stereotype of ME students is just breezing through calc and some macro-scale physics with lots of engineering training, which doesnt make the /sci/ mark for pretention of a degree (I never actually took a ME course, only identifying some stereotypes in the field).

From personal experience though, as >>6661285 said, most Civvies are lazy or dumbasses in it for the money.

I don't know what school you went to but the classes are all theory, there isn't a lot of application. For any engineering major, really.

In fact, my only gripe with my MechE degree is that it was a little too much theory and not enough "engineering". Besides for an amazing capstone course my degree consisted of mostly theory.

From what perspective? In a general sense there is no best because for a lot of projects it takes multiple types of engineers coming together to get it done. Similarly, you won't have nucE making bridges but you won't have civE designing engines. In some of them there is definitely a lot of overlap though.

My opinion (as an aerospace major, also doing a dual degree with physics) would be:

GOD TIER
Nuclear engineering

HIGH TIER
Aerospace engineering
Mechatronic engineering
Software engineering

MEH TIER
Mechanical engineering
Chemical engineering
Electrical engineering

SHIT TIER
Mining engineering

Reasoning:
Nuclear is closest to physics, so that obviously wins. Aerospace and mechatronic have the most interesting outputs (rockets, jets, robots, etc.) by far, while software engineering is incredibly versatile and provides the 'brains' of the outputs, so it's up there too. Mechanical, electrical, and chemical are all useful and somewhat interesting, but they just don't grab the imagination in the same way and there's a lot more tedium involved. Mining comes last because it's the simplest discipline that people pretty much just pursue for money rather than passion.

It just doesn't really make sense why you'd put the parent engineering with the majors in the same tier list. People who go with a mech engineering degree will also identify themselves as the major they chose. So might as well just take out mech and put the specializations into tiers instead.

This is why these lists are dumb. Aero and MechE are so closely related that literally the only difference between them is that Aero has to take some orbital mechanics (which could be an elective for MechE's) and maybe 1-2 extra fluids classes covering compressible flow. Otherwise the overlap is almost 100%. Mechatronics is about 60-40 MechE, EE, and again, it would be like a specialization of one or the other.

I tend to agree with this.

When I went to grad school for mathematics I was kind of disillusioned how up its own ass and disconnected the department was from the problems of the real world.

I guess that's a mark of a weak academic institution.

With regards to CE, I feel like with a bit of knowledge on foundations and environmental factors, a lot of what they do is really basic. I mean clearly going for energy efficiency and shit like that takes some skills, but out of all the CE specific stuff, a lot of it is just applying the basics. (imo, Im not a CE so what do I know.)

i remember my senior project. there's all these code books with numbers you need to pull out for specific load cases. turning templates, design manuals, empirical formulas that make absolutely no sense.

and then you have to read up on the local regulations and environmental laws about mitigation and that stupid shit and then go through this flow chart to win a contract bid and get your design approved.

and then you do some other shit like submitting memos of regulatory compliance, drawing a bunch of plans and copypasting annotations and notes on autocad

fuck that shit, im out nigga

The blessing/curse of mechatronic engineering is the absurd broadness of scope. You will know a bit of everything, but short of feeling confident in any one thing entirely.
As a mecatronic engineer I had no problems designing steel constructions or getting a MSc in comp-sci tho.

In the USA ABET accreditation in engineering is what matters for the degree. I started my professional life with a BS in electronics engineering technology, went back for a BS in electrical engineering, and am starting my masters next semester in electrical engineering with a focus on mixed signal ic design.

To my knowledge there are no ABET accredited electronics engineering programs in the USA.

It depends on where you go to school, from what I've seen. At my university, computer engineering is basically the same thing as electronic engineering, mostly a difference of scale. (Most people in either major will double major with a couple extra classes.) Computer science is the field that varies the most depending on school though. Where I am, computer science is pretty much a degree in software engineering with mostly practical application and then a smattering of higher level math classes that will be useful for more complicated stuff. At our rival university, the computer science degree is mostly mathematical theories that use computers to make math simpler and math to make computers simpler from what I've heard from the people I've talked to.

I was told by the head of a civil engineering firm that unless I had a passion for it, I should avoid civil engineering like the plague. He said that a handful of civil engineers work on making the "cool" stuff, but most likely you will be working for some county doing the math to make sure the bridge they're building is safe and legal. It also pays less than the other engineering disciplines along with less work to be had overall.
