Which field of engineering do you think is the most interesting?

Question

and why??

Answer 1

I would assume that most engineers would answer THEIR field is the most interesting, and I would thus be tempted to claim that aerospace is the one; but actually there may be another one: biomedical engineering. Think of those people who design artificial hearts, who custom build artificial hip joints and so on. Saving the life, or the quality of life, of people should be the most interesting field.
Although aerospace does have to come a close second...

Answer 2

Well it all really depends on what your interests are. As already stated, many Engineers will obviously pick their field. Let me give you a quick analogy, just like there are different types of Doctors; such as eye Dr, head Dr, foot Dr, etc... there are different types of Engineers. Such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Environmental, etc... However, Electrical Engineers have more of a variety to choose from, such as Design Engineers, Field Engineers, DSP Engineers, Security, etc.... It all depends on what your interests are, and as already mentioned by Warren W, Engineers in other fields couldnt handle the Math and theory ;)

Answer 3

If you want to cover all bases well, Mechanical Engineering. After getting a mechanical engineering degree, you can be hired to work with or as an electrical, civil, industrial, packaging, aerospace, etc... engineer. Mechanical and Electrical engineering are notoriously the hardest engineering subjects to major in. Electrical is not as rounded as Mechanical though. If you like traveling, Civil Engineering is definately the way to go.

Answer 4

I am going to have to go with mechanical. The reason here is because mechanical engineers have a very broad set of engineering skills and can work on almost any engineering application. It could range from creating new MEMS devices (microscopic devices) such as the accelerometers used to trigger airbags and in the Nintendo WII controller, to working on the space shuttle. Mechanical Engineers can do it all. Also many mechanical engineers develop software for modeling physical systems. They have to have a good knowledge of how such a system works before they can write a program to model it.

Answer 5

What we think doesn't matter,even a little bit. What you think makes all the difference in the world. If you think engineering is for you, try one of them. Take any engineering courses available to you. I\f you like one better than the others, concentrate on that one. Maybe get any kind of job with a big engineering firm and keep your eyes open.

Answer 6

nano-electronics...thats because it encompasses fields like biology, electronics, physics, chemistry n alll.....so when u take up courses in nano, u kind of engineer at atomic scale n u get what u think...u can make DNA iPods that repair by themselves, print nano based display screens on plain paper...n wat not??? build material that is 1000 times stronger than the strongest alloy yet occupyin custom space...

Answer 7

civil Engineering is the best,cos without civil Eng there will be no car in our roads, no bridge, no place to live

Answer 8

civil and environmental. doesn't it just sound more interesting than mechanical or electrical? And you get to know that you're helping to improve your community in a very concrete way.

Answer 9

Electronics and computer systems. But maybe I'm a bit prejudiced ☺
OTOH we -do- get into just about everything else.

Answer 10

Duh! Electrical Engineering, of course. All the other engineering disciplines just couldn't handle the circuit theory... :-)
