<p>If you want to eventually work in alternative energy--solar/wind/fuel cell cars--but don't know what exactly yet, what kind of engineering should you major in undergrad?</p>
<p>sounds like either electrical of chemical to me.</p>
<p>yeah? what do you think about mechanical?</p>
<p>if going for biomass, then chemical.
if going for solar, then electrical with emphasis in solid state</p>
<p>Mechanical or Electrical Engineering would fit well.</p>
<p>we focused a lot on alternative energy in my materials science class. I'm ME/MSE, but we never talked about it in any of my mechancial engineering courses.</p>
<p>Mechanical, almost certainly. For wind/tidal/hydroelectric, ME is the best.</p>
<p>For solar, EE.</p>
<p>For biomass, Chemical/Mechanical.</p>
<p>I'd say go with the big 3, ME, EE or ChemE.</p>
