The computer field is flooded with people...

You will change it ten times from now.


america needs electrical and computer engineers. and "the computer field"....computer engineers work for companies that have nothing to do with computers...but just use them as tools. one big one...being the medical field.

we are not even close to being flooded...and most of the rest of the developed world is pumping out engineers left and right..and we are outsourcing our jobs. probably because the nerds that are engineers aren't getting fucked enough to spread the genes.

I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Plastics.


would that fall under petroleum engineering since plastic is made out of it?

petroleum engineers make the most of all the engineers.

Speaking of fields that aren't flooded, you should be a journalism major!!!!

Material Science interests me. I took an intro course and its was cool talkin about crystaline structures stress and all that. choices choices.....

Journalism majors are very thick on the ground. I know about ten of them right off hand. And most of them are fucking useless. (*said the art major, with no trace of irony*)

The way everything is going now, the demand for Computer Engineers isn't going to drop, but it also won't be skyrocketing. I'm in a CoE program right now, and although it can get difficult at times, it is all about how much time you put into it. As long as you keep up with the courses, the Calculus classes are cake. Not to mention that Linear Algebra is also pretty smooth. If you can't do physics or chem, then Computer is the way to go. All of the other engineering fields require a lot of Physics work. Although, as always, some more specific applications of CoE will require Physics anyway.

If you want to do video games, Computer Engineering is not the way to go; that would be Computer Science for the most part. I would make sure you research the differences before deciding upon Computer Eng.

Oh, and most Computer Engineering Programs require up to Calculus II. Civil engineers actually go through more mathematically rigorous courses than CoEs.

Mechanical engineering, tool designs/engineers, and special field engineers will become in a greater demand in the next 10-20 years. The job market has been flooded already by the rise of computer power during the 1980's up to the present day.

The computer field won't suffer any foreseeable loses, but the demand won't jump as that has already happened the past 30 years. The problem is the current working generation from the baby boomer era is coming close to retiring. Those baby boomers are the back bone of today's society of mechanics, machinists, tool makers, and welders (the people that maintain everything). They build the bridges/roads we drive on, the cars we drive, the guns we shoot, hell pretty much everything revolves around those 4 catagories (excluding design engineers/chemists/scientists).

People can design and think up all different types of crap, but until you actually build it you won't know if it works. Working for a sub company of Pitco making commercial food fryers (major food company) it was amazing how many times a CAD design was wrong and the actual piece being built had to be reworked to make it fit or work.

Material sciences and mechanical engineering are the way to go the way if your looking for a 4 year degree. Both will be in high demand coming years and America already is falling behind other countries in these fields.

I'm in the process of being a CAT construction equipment technician for the reasons I said above. Computers are great and all, but if the world ended whats better to know? How to fix something mechanical, or computers that probably won't work. But the most important part is pick something your happy with, if your not life has a much higher chance of sucking when you come home from work each day.

I'm a former B. Civil Engineering student, ended up dropping it when the maths got too intense.

Now I do a B. Applied Science (majoring Biochemistry, minor Organic Chemistry) and love every minute of it, interesting shit.

Eng is definetely where the money is at though.

I know a little bit about the research type of work that mechanical engineering departments do at the graduate level, well at least at my school(I was the retarded undergrad student assist).

We did a lot of work for NASA, doing computational fluid dynamics and computational solid mechanics.

We did a lot of hush hush work for D.O.D.

We also did a lot of work related to medical research.

Overall I think it's very interesting work.

You can always become a professor. They're always in demand.

The thing about professors is, you get to make graduate students into your bitch, which is a plus...

If you want to major in Mathematics then definitely go for your masters. Or double major in something else that requires heavy math, such as computer science. This way you can excel in any math heavy graduate school of your choosing.
