Considering mechanical engineering

What?!, how they cover all the material?!.

By cutting a lot of material... or speeding through it a better word. When I took statics and strength of material we spent a huge amount of time on the statics part, but towards the end the professor was running out of time so he decided to give us an integrated chapter of the strength of materials (mostly beam theory), shear and bending moment diagrams and also lumping together moments of inertia and centriods. I had taken statics at a community college before transfer and was still forced to take that course. Therefore I knew we skipped some chapters that I was covered in my cc statics course. This statics and strength of materials course skipped hydrostatics, virtual work, and not a lot of detail into moments of inertia. The strength of materials part is really basic, like just learning about deflection and solving statically indeterminate problems with it.

Maybe you should do research with a prof in that area to see if you like. Also internships

It's too late for me to do that. I start my MS program in the fall and at that time I have to decide who I want to do research with and in what area, etc... I just have this summer to read and figure out which one interests me more.
