I am a first year community college student. I plan on transferring to North Carolin A&T State University, and majoring in mechanical engineering. I am having trouble getting any meaningful advice. If anyone can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
This thread has been enlightening. I was torn between mechanical engineering and physics, but after reading what engineering is all about I do believe that's my calling.
Thanks.
I love physics and was told I could never obtain a degree, so partly It's to prove I can to myself. I would love to go into aerospace engineering but the university I have to transfer to doesn't offer it. Are there any other avenues to get in the field i.e. mechanical or electrical?
Honestly I'd like to build things that go into space I don't care what. I'm good with my hands and I love math. But that's why I asked the question I sort of don't know which direction to go. I'm just trying to get my core classes done for now. I eventually want to get a PhD, but I need to start...
Time will be getting short, so I doubt grad school will be an option. I'm considering the double major because I want to keep my options open. Just not sure if it is needed with a physics degree.
I'm 34 and just starting college. I have to go the community college route. I will get a degree in physics. I wonder though if I should double major in an engineering field?
