<p>I'm primarily interested in engineering mechanics because I like the narrowness of the program to classical mechanics rather than a broad range of subjects including other areas of physics as well.
My only concern is the job availability. What are the pro's and con's to engineering mechanics and mechanical engineering in terms of job prospects?
And because engineering mechanics is more theoretical which would mostly lead to research, what are the pro's and con's of research vs industry work?
And also, is engineering mechanics a dying program, because it is not as popular in comparison to others such as physicists.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
