<p>I want to eventually get a job involving research with alternative energy, and I know the three engineering disciplines that invoke this are chemical, mechanical, and electrical. Would mechanical be a good choice out of the three? I know that mech is much easier than the other two. Also I thought about getting a MBA after, would this be a good combo?</p>
<p>There is also MSE. Mech is probably the most sensible, but MSE is the one I find most interesting this month.</p>
<p>Too vague a question. These types of projects involve many types of engineers working on many types of individual problems.</p>
<p>Ok if my first question is too vague, how about you answer my second one</p>
<p>Get an MBA when the time is right to get one. You’ll know because either your employer will pay for it or you’ll start having it as an obstacle to where you want to go.
Never any faster than 3 years after graduation.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, but I asked if it was a good combo. Also, I know that most people think that ME involves making robots and electronics, but what does it actually entail job wise?</p>
<p>ME doesn’t involve making electronics as much as CE/EE. And NeoDymium did answer your question. If you find that the atmosphere of your job needs you to have MBA experience, go get one. Any engineering major getting an MBA (IF necessary, stressing the if) is a good combo obviously. And MechE is not necessarily easier than the other two in the deeper coursework. And of course MechE is a good choice out of the three. Good career prospects also. MSE, however, I find more interesting (as far as I am acquainted with MSE, that is, which isn’t too far). MSE is also applicable in many alternative energy situations so its a good bet.</p>
