which course is better electrical and electronic eng or mechanical engg?

Question

if any other good course is there you can mention

Answer 1

In todays technology driven world, I would suggest you should go for Electrical and electronics and later go on to specialize in something like Robotics which will add great value.

Answer 2

I don't know how accurate this determination is, but years ago I worked in an engineering department for a steel mill that had about 45 engineers working at their drafting tables (10 of them off to the right side of the room were electrical engineers and 35 were mechanical engineers). I was told that to become an electrical engineer you first had to be trained as a mechanical engineer. In addition, I couldn't help thinking that the ratio must have meant that fewer electrical people might be required so "maybe" the pay would e better, and maybe it would be that way because of the more training required (just my way of trying to figure it out myself).

Anyway, there were also architectural and civil engineers in that department (again, they were fewer in count).

Electronic is more of a today thing and so I have no thoughts or answers for you on that.

Answer 3

I would only suggest a technology degree if you try and fail at actual engineering. Devry/ITT will try to convince you that the "technology" part of the degree name is a good thing but it is not. Common sense should tell you that if you don't have to learn as much math you aren't going to receive as much education. The tech degrees are a great alternative for those who can't make it through engineering.

EEs (elec. engineers) do not require ME (mech. engineer) training. Both will receive a bit of training in the other area. For instance, both will take physics which covers many electrical and mechanical topics. At my university EEs were required to take statics. I also took dynamics. I wish I would have stuck to only electrical classes since dynamics was challenging for me and distracted me from electrical classes.

A Bachelor's degree in ME or EE will require you to learn and understand calculus and differential equations. My opinion is that trig is more difficult than calculus. EEs tend to use more advancaed math while studying for a BS. At my university EEs and MEs took a class called Control Systems together. The first half of the class seemed like a waste because the MEs were not up to speed on some of the mathematics. I'm not sure if this is the case at all universities.

Answer 4

GRK4U & Roundhead seem to differentiate between electrical and "electronic" engineering. All I can recommend is that you do some research. Wikipedia states that in America the term "electrical engineer" refers to the same work as that of an "electronic engineer." In my experience that has been true.

Most, if not all, universities with BSEE programs allow student to focus in digital design or electronics.

GRK4U's statement that mechanical engineers are a "mix of all elect, electr, manage, computer" is a line of bull. Mechanical engineers study dynamics, materials, vibrations, thermal dynamics, and fluids among other things. Roundhead's statement that "electronic engineering" deals with more math than "electrical engineering" is just as dubious. Digital focus or not, you're going to learn the math with a BSEE. You might not learn to work the z-transform as well if you don't take digital classes but in the same sense those taking digital classes aren't going to learn the advanced calculus that someone taking advanced electromagnetics classes is going to learn.

Answer 5

"Better" in what way?

Easier to graduate, graduates get more pay, the work is more interesting, ...

"Better" is a value judgement & we all have different value systems. If you expect worthwhile answers, you need to frame your questions carefully.

Mechanical Engineering is interesting for people who like to make machines. It includes training in the use of electrical devices and electronics, so that you can build machines and robots that incorporate those devices.

Electrical Engineering is interesting for people who like to build electronic gadgets like computers and radios, or those who love complex algebra and calculus and statistics (applies to wireless transmission, radar, television & radio, etc.), or those who are interested in power generation and distribution systems.

Both types of Engineer will learn computer programming, either to solve problems or to control systems.

An Electrical Engineer may have more career opportunities, since electric power and electronic devices are everywhere. A Mechanical Engineer may find their skills are more generally useful - electronics are only one small part of most of our machines.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

I suggest you look into Engineering Technology or Industrial Technology. Both are four-year University degrees but the math is easier than in a true Engineering degree, and the courses are more "practical". For example, DeVry has a BSEET in Electronics Technology on many campuses in the USA.

Answer 7

Electronic Engineering is better and of course even more complex than electrical engineering. And i will recommend it for a greater advantage.

Electronics is the computerised version of electrical engineering. Deals with a lot of computers,more mathematics and digital devices.

Answer 8

(VTU KARNATAKA)dude let me tell u in this way if u r a brilliant i.e. u r in top 5 in u r class of 1st to 12th go for electronics, there is less scope for electrical, I am not tell in no scope but less . all the sub in the electro & electri remain same only in last sem there is small variation. Better u check out with the syllabus of that institu. mech in karnata is mix of all elect, electr, manage, computer u are just jack of all master of none.

Answer 9

Law School or Medical School.
