[QUOTE="The Bill, post: 5627039, member: 589147"] Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering are all complemented well by a thorough understanding of the underlying physics. Mechanical and civil engineering are similar in the areas of physics used, differing in the types of projects and employers you'd be working with. Check out the [URL='https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCMOqf8ab-42UUQIdVoKwjlQ']Practical Engineering [/URL]channel on YouTube to get a little flavor of what civil engineering involves. Electrical engineering benefits from a thorough understanding of electrodynamics, and some sub-areas of electrical engineering use a bit of quantum physics. You'll have a better idea of which of these you enjoy once you've gotten into your second or third introductory physics course, whichever covers basic electromagnetism. Also, I highly recommend that you take a linear algebra/matrix algebra as soon as you can. It will help you at least a little and sometimes a lot in just about every physics and engineering course after your first year. [/QUOTE]
