Hi,
I'm an engineering student in Civil/Structural engineering and am interested in structures. As well as fixed structures I am also interested in mobile structures like ships.
Can I get a job designing vehicle structures after graduating from a degree focused on civil structures? Would the mech eng guys have a lot of leverage over me? I will be doing finite element methods as part of my civil, a unit shared with the mech majors.
Thanks for your shared wisdom.
