<p>for someone who likes ‘ideas’ (like me) I can think of a few areas outside ‘traditional’ engineering…</p>
<ul>
<li>computer science </li>
<li>human factors engineering / experimental psychology / human computer interaction</li>
<li>industrial design</li>
</ul>
<p>If engineering is desired but with more electives, check out Industrial Engineering. It is a bit ‘easier’ than, say, Electrical or Chemical, but very entertaining, and touches a lot of different areas for electives.</p>
