Hi, I am just now finishing my junior year in chemical engineering. In my senior year I can choose a specialization and I am having trouble deciding between water resources/treatment or microelectronics.
Im interested in water because I really enjoyed fluid dynamics and mass transfer, and I am also concerned about our growing water problems. Plus, working in water resources, I could potentially get a job involving out door field work which is appealing to me.
However I am also want to do the microelectronics option because I enjoyed the intro E&M class and the circuits class that I have taken. I also would love to learn more about plasma and nanotechnology which is covered in the curriculum. Also, I live in the northwest U.S., which is like microelectronic/ computer central, so there are a lot of jobs here. The weird thing is though, I am not really interested in working in computers. I don't want to make computers and chips for things like phones and ipads. I am however interested in aerospace and alternative materials.
So a few questions I have are; Is there much opportunity in microelectronics besides making computer chips? Would microelectronics give me a better ability to get into aerospace?
Thanks
