<p>I study in high-school and I'm just thinking of my future. If I do study in engineering, then what could be good for me? I would like a well-paying job. Income isn't my main motivator but I would like to at least earn a decent salary after 5-10 years of working. I like computers, electronics, gadgets, chemicals, robots, etc. Please tell me some possible fields. I also don't mind going to different places. But I don't have any interest in civil or building engineering btw.</p>
<p>You need to pick, if you want to study engineering. Otherwise I would suggest physics or engineering/applied physics.</p>
<p>dont worry about it just get good grades. your first year of study is going to be the same in college as all other engineering majors (except if your a computer eng) just wait until then and talk to your professors, you will likely have introductory engineering classes that cover just what you are thinking</p>
<p>Why is computer engineering different?</p>
<p>If you are sure that you want to go in to engineering, then pick a university/ college that focuses on STEM subjects. During my freshman year, we dont have to declare what type of engineering we want and we take general engineering classes to explore our options. </p>
<p>If you’ve still got some high school left-participate in a science fair or robotics contest. This will really help you hone in on what exactly you want to spend the rest of your life doing. I entered science fair just because my teacher required it and by my senior year I found myself with a mechanical engineering project at ISEF. Just some suggestions.</p>
<p>In the best engineering school in my country (I’m from a country near India), I have to specialize immediately, if I get admitted, so unless I study abroad through a scholarship…</p>
<p>“I like computers, electronics, gadgets, chemicals, robots, etc. Please tell me some possible fields.”</p>
<p>Electrical engineering or mechatronics?</p>
<p>How is mechatronics btw? I also have a thing for analog machines.</p>
<p>Mechatronics is an area of study that combines mechanical engineering, electronics engineering and computer science topics. Mechatronics engineering is a course aimed to govern the basic skills and knowledge that’s relevant to designing and implementing electromechanical systems. It’s a bit of all of the mentioned disciplines but nothing as in-depth as a fully specialized major. Robotics (and other automated systems) is a central concern in mechatronics engineering, because designing robots combines knowledge from all the mentioned areas.</p>
<p>You’d do courses in circuits (mostly digital, but perhaps some analog as well), computer programming, sensors and actuators, mechanical design and general engineering physics & math etc.</p>
<p>if i were to choose between mechanical, electrical and chemical, can you compare these 3 and the pros and cons of choosing each?</p>
