I plan on doing engineer or computer science but I don’t k ow which one I want to do its between mechanical, electrical, computer, and computer science. Can someone tell me what’s it’s like for each one
I’m not sure what I like in particular but all I know is I like engineering but don’t know what type I also don’t know what’s in store for each one such as what they do exactly
I go to Purdue where we don’t pick a discipline until the end of fresgman year. I thought that I wanted to make pharmaceuticals and be a cheme. However, 3/4 through sophomore year, I decided that I hated cheme and switched to ag/environmental, which I love. The cool thing about engibeering is that the first year, year and a half is pretty broad and works well in any discipline. CompE and EE are in one department here. So I think one of those would be a good place to start if you’re torn between all 4 of the majors you mentioned. CS is definitely more coding intensive than the engineerings you mentioned so if you want to program then that’s a good option.
Basically what I’m saying is that pick one after serious thought and all are pretty well connected so if you decide that you chose wrong after a year of two, it won’t be a big deal to change.
Thanks alot that really helped
I visited an engineering firm and looked at what electrical, mechanical, civil, and piping engineers did. I used to think I wanted to do civil but I changed my mind to mechanical after seeing the types if projects and work that they did. So if you have the opportunity to fo that, I’d definitely recommend it.
Look carefully at the different engineering programs. For an undecided like yourself, you may prefer a program where you don’t specialize until Junior yr. That allows you time to learn about all the majors before applying to one. In contrast, my son “applied” in January of Freshman yr for a major that will start Soph yr. It works for him but may not for you. Also, know that you’re not alone in not knowing what area of engineering you will like. One school we visited practically refused to talk about any specific engineering major because they expect their students to learn about all majors while in school.
Therefore…when researching engineering programs, pay careful attention to when students apply for their major. That may help you decide where’s best for you!
I do computer science engineering and it’s nothing I’d recommend if you’re really into physics - it’s more logics and language, really. Mind you, I go to uni in Sweden, but my five year programme follows international standards (ISTE, look it up!) so I wouldn’t say it’d be to different.
I don’t know how much you know about algorithms and data structures and programming in general, but you can learn pretty quickly. It’s mathematical logics rounded off a bit and expressed as language - made for both people and machines to understand. Pretty fascinating really. It’s a lot about abstraction, creating models, figuring out the best way to store and access data. What I really like about the major is that you can do anything with it - all parts of society uses what you learn in CS and you can pretty much pick anywhere you want to work.
maybe try computer engineering
Also some colleges have an engineering course that is a little bit of all of them so you can get an idea of what you liek to do.
Not sure where you are going but FSU for example has EGN 1004L. First Year Engineering Laboratory (1). This laboratory includes an emphasis
on student time management, a variety of products and processes, and computer-aided
problem solving. Product/process involves sketching and drawing pertinent diagrams by
hand, and learning the history and engineering concepts involved.
This may give you an idea of which area in Engineering you like
If you like doing stuff with duct tape, Mechanical Engineering.
If you like exploding stuff, Chemical Engineering.
If you like hitting stuff to see what happens, Materials Engineering.
If you like zapping people with high voltages, Electrical Engineering.
I hope that you find this extremely in-depth and comprehensive guide helpful 
You forgot:
If you like to build bridges, Civil Engineering
