Alright Yea Forumsros, which should I major in this fall, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering?
What stuff are you interested in? Why have you come to these two choices?
I love math, but I’m honestly so confused about my fucking future. I’d like to go into an engineering stem field, but I’m unsure if that’s even the right option
Take an intro to engineering course at a community college first this helped me the most it goes over what certain engineers do, what degrees will get you there, what you’ll have to learn
Go mechanical, I'm second year and I am loving it so far.
EE. It's at the top of the engineering totem pole. ME is for retards. The only thing worse would be Civil.

electrical if you wanna get into programming.. mech if you wanna get into industrial engineering
I suggest Electrical Engineering, it doesn't suck as much, and the market for them is fairly big
Tfw civil engineer
Tfw happy with job
I'd say mining engineering is superior in both pay and social class. but that's just based off of friends
Graduated high school with an associates, so I really can’t go to community college.
What are the classes like?
What type of challenges does EE provide? Like, is it hands on learning?
Neither. Civil is kind of a meme but pays well and you don't do shit. Wear a white hat, stare at dirt and make six figures.
No, not hands-on learning. EE gets theoretical pretty quick. It requires the most math - complex numbers, matrices, Laplace and Fourier transforms. It's harder (fluid dynamics aside) and generally pays better.
If you don't like doing much math, skip EE.
I love math very much. Do you think it’s a good idea to major in EE while minoring in Mathematics?
Ee if you can hack it. me is good if you're just smart. What's more important is you go with the best internship program because internships trump everything else in engineering
Only in Colorado. Nobody else gives a shit or has heard of school of mines
Just major in ee. make sure you get a BSE
There's no need to minor in mathematics. Minors don't mean anything. Instead, use the free space in your curriculum to do things that will broaden your intellect and world view. Stats is a good one, teaches you how full of shit they are. Or some sort of literature class that's well outside your comfort zone.
Yeah, hit the internships hard. Even if they're unpaid, go for the best, most prestigious one you can find.
Thanks, will do. I’ll minor in music since I really do enjoy music theory
That's a great idea.
>EE top of anything
Dont listen to retard engineers [read EE] op. Electrical engineering is for when you're just barely smarter than a civil engineer. In my 5 years of engineering with two 20k+ employee companies the electrical engineers are ALWAYS the first to shit the bed the second they get uncomfortable.
Of the hundreds of engineers i've worked with, i've only worked with 2 electrical engineers that were respectable in their discipline. There is obviously a serious fault in their school.
Do not minor in music. You might as well major in it. 3 hours a day of practice time man. Don't do it
I'm in a similar predicament
should I do computer engineering or aeronautical? I'm much more passionate about aeronautical but I can tell it's a lot harder than comp sci, but I also know there's money in comp sci.
you can move around industries when you go pro. But if you specialize then it's harder to even get in the game. You go aeronotics (wtf is that? aerospace you mean?) and you're pidgeonholed, you got comp sci... wait wtf are you doing? This shit isnt even remotely related. fuck off
You must be working with controls guys. I'm in nanoscale fabrication and you can't drop the ball more than once and keep your job in my company.
What are you fabricating at a nano scale? Nano machines?
Photovoltaic cells for power generation.
I did computer science and i also love math. Especially stats which really helps with AI. But thats my passion. I really want to one day develop something that will wipe out humanity starting with jews and niggers.
