<p>I think most people on this thread are studying engineering or determined to study it. Well, here's someone who's sort of unique...</p>
<p>I'm starting at the University of Oregon in September as a biochemistry major. I've always liked science, so I decided to go as a science major. But I've read about things one can do by majoring engineering, I've found out studying engineering might be fun as well. I've read about the similarity and difference between science and engineering in wikipedia, but I still can't decide which I want to study.</p>
<p>So I was wondering how you've decided to study engineering. And do you have any advice how I can decide as well?</p>
<p>I've always found science to be way more interesting than business or the liberal arts. I picked engineering because of the opportunities it gives me after I graduate. I can choose to further my education with a masters or phd, do research, or join the work force.</p>
<p>really good at math, moderately good in physics, so i majored in math and physics, and a mechanical engineer convinced me that engineering was the profitable combination of the two.</p>
<p>My interest in engineering can be adjudged from various activities that I engaged myself in; although the result had been failure, giving tension to my parents. To substantiate, I have burnt my computer’s RAM while analyzing the mother board and my urge to see the cathode ray tube construction in my brand new flat screen television gave me one month’s punishment for cracking the screen. Other than these expensive destructions, the satisfaction that I got while exploring and experimenting with the machines and engines or cars and bikes have been a tremendous experience and motivated me in selecting my major. :D</p>
<p>I've been working with computer since I was 6 years old, I could never imagine to do anything else, so i definitely wanted to major in something CS related. I learned my first programming languages with 12/13, got certifications with 15/16 with 16 I worked part-time as a programmer and network admin for some local company. However, after a couple of month I found that this is definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life (or anything close to it) and so I decided to major in EECS, which is to me way more interesting than pure CS.</p>
<p>thank you for your responces. Yeah, I've been thinking of studying something that combines biochemistry, physics, math, and possibly a little bit of computer science, and perhaps I thought engineering would be a good one.</p>
