AI Thread Summary
When considering engineering fields with strong worldwide demand, Civil Engineering emerges as a top choice due to its essential role in infrastructure development, particularly in underserved regions. The discussion emphasizes that while specialization can enhance marketability—such as focusing on fluid flow in aerospace engineering—Civil Engineering remains universally relevant, as communities globally require fundamental infrastructure like bridges, roads, and sewage systems. The consensus highlights that the ability to market oneself effectively is crucial, regardless of the specific engineering discipline chosen.

I'm going to be applying for school in the next couple of years and I want to study engineering. However, I may want to move around throughout my life and I was wondering which engineering(s) have the best worldwide demand? Don't be alarmed, I won't study anything I dislike just because of the demand, but it is a factor in my decision. Also, I am curious as to what kind of engineers are in high demand in certain countries, so any information you can throw at me is greatly appreciated. :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
As my physics prof always says, an engineer's an engineer. It all depends on how you sell yourself. If I specialize in fluid flow with my aerospace degree, I'd probably be more marketable than the mechanical engineer that specialized in robotics. But really, I think the best answer I can give you (and I hate myself for it) is Civil Engineering. Even poor as dirt African communities need bridges and roads and sewers.

That was my thought, too - good old CE. Infrastructure is destiny!
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
