Asking more about Mechanical Engineering and electrical Engineernig?

Question

I am quite confuse about what kind of study that suits me best. First of all i am not really sure about what an engineering will do. I want to enter either mech or Electrical. Howeve, i am still not really sure about the prospect of the job, what kind of job do i expect, does it mean that i will work like a scientist ( do research in lab) or an engineer will work very close to machine ? . . can someone gives me a view and vision and more details about engineering >?... since i am confused by choosing the engineering or better do business.

Answer 1

Mechanical engineering is a very broad field that involves the application of physical principles for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. The process of mechanical engineering can be as simple as the design of a chair for comfort or as complex as the optimization of a turbocharged engine for speed. It can be as small as the cutting of a nano-sized gear or as large as the assembly of a supertanker used to carry oil around the world.

Electrical engineering (sometimes referred to as electrical and electronics engineering) is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century with the commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. The field now covers a range of sub-disciplines including those that deal with power, control systems, electronics and telecommunications.

Answer 2

Engineering requires very good math skills for starters, you will be given a set of requirements and you will have to design something to fit those requirements. Electrical takes a very good understanding of electrical circuits and math. Mechanical takes knowledge of structure strengths and weaknessness as well as proper materials for the application. I started down the mechanical engineering path and changed majors. To much math.
