I started out in physics and math, but now study biology, in particular, engineering principles found and used in animals. This is loads of fun, because you get to be an engineer kind of guy, but get to apply it to explain why animals and humans are designed by evolution as they (we) are. To actually do this, you'd want to study engineering/physics/math first, and only later start learning biology. Don't even bother with the biology when younger, because it is trivial to learn later. The hard part is getting all the fundamental math/physics/engineering under your belt.

For the engineering disciplines only (not including theoretical physics, etc) I would say that the most interesting branch nowadays is materials. Mechanical engineering is great to study first to gain fundamental knowledge of physical things (machinery, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics). Materials, however, has a hand in every sort of engineering discipline. I took some courses is biomaterials, the materials used to fabricate implants, that is an interesting field. Shape memory alloys also create a great potential for a whole new era of engineering devices. Unfortunately, there are only a few (I only assume more than one, I am only experienced with NiTi offhand) shape memory alloys developed and so they could use tremendous research. These are materials which can be greatly deformed and which fully recover a shape upon heating.
Numerical methods are also interesting, if you like math, lots of math and nothing but math. They are those people involved in simulating the world on super computers. Mechanical structures, weather systems, etc, etc etc. I did some work in that area. I avoid it myself because those involved with it are focused, driven geniouses. I could develop the understanding of the field but do not wish to dedicate myself to only that, so I leave it to the addicts.

I'm a Chemical Engineer, so obviously I think ChE is the most interesting. The reason I like it is that it focuses mostly on chemical processes and interactions. ChE's have a strong background in chemistry, but also have an understanding of physics and mechanics.
Chemical Engineers don't just do chemistry, they use their broad base of knowledge to do anything! The better name for the profession would probably be Process Engineering.

Civil engineering is really resembling mechanical engineering yet is toned down. in case you bypass into civil engineering you'd be more desirable into construction bridges, roads, laying pipe and tremendous structure for civilian use. in case you bypass into mechanical you may do each and each of the above and more desirable. Designing factors and mechanical platforms. try to be able to do finite component diagnosis, thermodynamics, statics and dynamics. that is harder and more desirable preparation yet you would possibly want to have more desirable job opportunities. Now as an party what civil engineering is to mechanical, mechanical is to aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering is much harder than mechanical yet has an same effortless historic past. Now i don't believe of it has more desirable jobs as a results of the undeniable fact that is so fairly specialist. i might want to reccomend staying with Mech Engineering except it really is too perplexing or you want to do basically structure artwork. if human beings fail out of aero area engineering they bypass to mechanical engineering, if human beings fail out of mechanical engineering they bypass to civil...

I will say electronics engineering. Your work directly apply to people's practical usage.
If you works in the company that produce consumer electronics. What you created is for everyone in the street and community. It is like instant gratification knowing that your idea and creation is used by millions.
It is also challenge because of competition. You must keep yourself a step ahead of competition.

im a mechanical engineer.not for that sake according to my opinion mechanical is the best field in engineering to study and to feel the subject.you can see the things what you study.all r reality in mechanical.not like electronics or any other engineering.mechanical is thwe mother of aeronautical,productionand everthing.
