AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around choosing an engineering discipline at the University of Auckland, with interests spanning chemical, biomedical, mechatronic, and mechanical engineering. Participants suggest considering a career as a quantitative analyst if finance is a strong interest, noting that electrical engineers often excel in this area. For those inclined towards medicine, biomedical engineering is recommended. Mechatronics is highlighted for individuals interested in robotics and building systems with moving parts. Ultimately, traditional fields like civil, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering all offer viable career paths with good earning potential.

Hi there, I am currently in my last year of high school in New Zealand and looking to become and engineer or a surgeon. I am interested in all types of engineering and the college that I will be going to next year ( The University of Auckland ) offers many types of engineering. Should I pursue chemical, biomedical, mechatronic or mechanical? So what would your advice in what to do after I finish college? I also have an strong interest in commodities and stock markets.

Among the engineers I know, those who perform the best on quantitative finances are electrical engineers, but the sample size is small.

Search for "quantitative analyst" (in the case you didn't know this expression already). This may be the career your are looking for.
 
If you want to go into medicine you might prefer biomedical.

If you plan to build things with moving parts, and like robots and computers - try mechatronics.

Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Chemical are the four traditional fields ... I know people in all of these fields who make a good living and enjoy what they do.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
