Re: What type of engineering?
I was in the same boat a few years ago trying to decide between AE and ME. I actually started AE and took some classes before realizing it wasn't for me. AE is much more specialized than ME and the jobs are also fewer overall. The thing that really made me finally switch to ME was the ability to do so much with my degree. With an ME degree you are open to many more career possibilities. Of course all of this depends on what you want.

Do you know where you want to be after college?
What kind of jobs you are interested in?
More interested in lab work, design, theoretical?

I hope this helped a little. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.
