Civil engineering OR Electronic Engineering?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the decision between pursuing a major in Civil Engineering (CE) or Electronic Engineering (EE). The participant weighs the advantages of CE, such as potentially higher salaries and job stability, against their personal interest and aptitude for EE, which involves significant mathematical skills. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that if passion and suitability for the subject matter are prioritized, EE is the better choice, especially given its versatility and financial prospects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Civil Engineering principles and career pathways
  • Familiarity with Electronic Engineering concepts and applications
  • Basic knowledge of Theoretical Mechanics as it relates to CE
  • Mathematical proficiency, particularly in areas relevant to EE
NEXT STEPS
  • Research career opportunities in Electronic Engineering and its financial prospects
  • Explore the curriculum and key courses in Electronic Engineering
  • Investigate the job market and salary trends for Civil Engineering versus Electronic Engineering
  • Learn about the skills and tools used in Electronic Engineering, such as circuit design software
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for prospective engineering students, career advisors, and individuals weighing their options between Civil and Electronic Engineering based on personal interests and financial goals.

Now it's my time to choose my major,I will choose from Civil Engeering and Electronic Engineering.In my university,Civil Engeering College is better than Electronic Engineering College,I may get a higher salary if I choose the previous one,but the work may be tougher(I may stay at a very remote place to build a bridge for several mouths,and can't go home).However,I feel I have more interest in Elcetronic Engineering,I feel I am suitable for it,resently I am learning Theoretical Mechanics(A very important course for Civil Engineering),I also think it is interesting...
So I am very confused about it.I wander which kind of person is suitable for learning these two majors,I am good at mathematics,which one do you think is better for me?I am waiting for your suggestions,many thanks!

If Electronics Engineering = Electrical Engineering, go for that one.
 
If money is the only thing that made you think about Civil E. Go for Electric E. It has a lot of math.versatility and arguably a pathway for even more money then CE.

Thanks for you advice,I think I will choose EE,I must choose a career that I like,I will do well!
