Re: Engineering Majors
I don't know at what point you are in your education, but I have made my decision by speaking to my mentors and looking at websites of Universities.
To make the process simpler, you could try the following things:
1. Decide what you're good at, what you enjoy, what you like to do, and see if there is a field related it to it. Do you like to work with electronics? Electrical Engineering is probably your choice. Do you prefer more of the biological subject matter? You may consider Biological, Biomedical, or Chemical Engineering.
2. Try asking people you know well, such as Engineering mentors, about what they do and see if you like that. Another helpful resource is current college students, who can tell you a bit about what they're learning in their classes.
3. You can always be undecided. Many Engineering firms have multidisciplinary opportunities, and if you choose to attend college and major in Engineering, you will probably be in a freshman seminar that covers this decision.
Remember, you know yourself better than anybody knows you (I'd imagine), so while advice is great, your intuition is your best guide. Good luck!
