Hello,
Is it possible to get into master's program for electrical engineering (in North America) after completing a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering? The reason being is that I plan to pursue a bachelor's in mechanical engineering because that's the 'safe' degree for where I live (Calgary, AB - it's all about oil & gas), but mechanical engineering is my second preference next to electrical engineering.
I know that out of pure interest, I would prefer EE (but that's not to say that I dislike ME, just not as much as EE), but the fields that I am interested in (high technology and communications) are very dead in Calgary. I have absolutely no interest to work in power. I just want to know that if I were to take some EE-like technical electives with my ME degree (ie. mechatronics), would I be able to get into a master's program for EE? I would most likely specialize in something like photonics for my masters, or anything related to high technology.
Thank you!
