Question:

Mechanical, electrical, or biomedical engineering?

Hi everyone!I'm currently enrolled in an electrical engineering course and I like it a lot, I just don't like the computer aspect. I actually really hate computers. I'm more of the other spectrum like the hands-on mechanical side. However i don't purely want to do mechanical engineering cause i do like electronics. is there a meeting point? should i major in electrical and minor in mechanical? or major in mechanical and minor in electrical?to make things worse i've always had an interest in biomedical enigineering but the biomechanics track. I'm not enrolled in that because i heard that its hard to find jobs in that field since it's still developing.opinions? advice? anything is appreciated:)thanks!

Answer:

Well, with a mechanical engineering degree, you can do almost any other engineering discipline, granted you get a little more education in it too. Mechanical engineering is the broadest of the three fields you mentioned above; I've heard of of some mechanical engineers working in the medical device industry, so I would suggest mechanical. Electrical, on the other hand, is a whole other ball game. It deals with circuits and electrical devices,programming, etc. If electricity and magnetism from physics interested you, then I suggest looking into electrical engineering.
Biomedical engineering to make artificial organ has a very bright future. This is the only field that we need to break through to extend human life and replacing body parts. Go for it if I were you.
