Re: What type of engineering?

Here is my advice:

First, throw out any preconceived notion of what you used to think that you wanted to do.

Then, ask yourself "what fascinates me?".

You should do what you find fascinating, because you will be happy doing it, and you will be motivated and accomplish larger things. This is what I've been trying to do when deciding what to do after I graduate college next month.

This is why I switched from computer science to mechanical engineering three years ago.
