Mechanical Engineering or Architecture?

Question

What would be better, Mechanical Engineering or Architecture?
I am interested in both. What i would like to know is;
- What each course intales?
- Job prospects?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Mech Eng will be (in my opinion) a more varied career

see the Institute of Mechanical Enginner's web site http://www.imeche.org.uk/ for ideas.

or How about Chemical Engineering (don't worry it's NOT chemistry!) see www.whynotchemeng.com & www.icheme.org

or for Architecture see www.riba.org

All 3 are interesting & well paid

good luck

Answer 2

mechanical engineering, the international have a number of architects and we do not elect them, the international elect technology and technologies for be better effective. that's way less stressful hit upon a interest in case you study an engineering and also you may want to get a scholarship a lot less stressful than others careers for make draw close or PhD.

Answer 3

depends what sort of subjects you are better at, mechanical engineering is physics and maths based,
whereas im guessing architecture is more art, technical drawing etc.
i would say they both have equally good prospects, but maybe more jobs available in engineering though

Answer 4

These are two different directions, only you can decide where best your talents lie.
The first one requires a mechanical mind and dexterity and the second a flair for machine drawing and maths.

Answer 5

My husband loves both! His dream job is in engineering but he also desperately wants to build the 'perfect' bridge! I reckon it MUST be possible to combine the two somehow, surely??? They are amazingly similar according to my hubby! I dunno though!
