Tamer Shaheen, 2021 ▶ All Engineering Programs Explained in 11 minutes
trying to figure out how bad i want to study engineering and which engineering program i sould focus on.
Tldr
Im mainly interested in:
- Mechatronics
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Software.
- Bio-Technical Engineering!
I’m also very interested in chemical engineering but i have never taken much if any chemistry classes so its hard to know if i could major in it.
Engineering Disciplines
- Mechanical
- Electrical
- Software
- Chemical
- Civil
- Mechatronics engineering
- industrial
Personal Notes
- So far im thinking mechanical engineer and just self study software engineering later since its less degree focused?
- mechanical engineer sounds interesting but i feel like it wouldn’t be involving electrical engineering concepts.
- Software engineer seems like a waste of an engineering degree sometimes since its not required and the info is easily obtained online
- I have heard of mechatronics engineering before and it sounds awesome to combine all these disciplines together
