AI Thread Summary
Choosing an engineering discipline in El Salvador involves considering job security and personal interests in physics. Mechanical Engineering (ME) is highlighted as a strong option due to its focus on calculations and practical applications like robotics and motors. Biomedical Engineering is also mentioned, but it's noted that employers often prefer Mechanical or Electrical Engineers (EE) for roles in biomedical companies, unless one is specifically interested in tissue engineering. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a solid foundation in either ME or EE for better employability, particularly in larger companies. Additionally, there is a growing interest in renewable energy, particularly solar panels, indicating a potential niche within Electrical Engineering. Overall, Mechanical Engineering appears to be the favored path for those who enjoy physics and calculations.

Well living in El Salvador i decided for an engineering but which one?

Well looks like engineers have more job security and use a lot of mathematics and physics, now which one? I love Physics so could be

Mechanical
Biomedical
Electric
Mechatronic
Electronic

this i are some interesting, some advices please.

What area of physics do you especially like?

Energy,How things produce movement. Well in my school the last exams where Newtons laws and the conservation of energy so i really am an ignorant. I was thinking in mechanical they look to see even robots, motors and things like that.

Biomedical look to see a lot of calculations or Mechatronic i am clueless =(

I'm just finishing up a undergraduate in biomedical, and unless your really interested in somthing like tissue engineering, what would likly suggest is to enter a ME or EE program and find a prof to work with who does biomedical engineering to work with but get a degree in EE or ME and try to take a couple biology courses. If a biomedical company wants someone who understands mechanics, they ofter hire a ME and if they want someone who understands electrical stuff they get a EE. Unless your going to be working for small start ups where a braod knowledge base is useful, or you want to go to grad school I would stick to ME,EE or ChemE to be more employable.
 


Sounds like you might enjoy Mechanical. You should go to the Mechanical Engineering forum here and see what kind of things they're discussing...just to get an idea of the kinds of things they study.

Thanks men, in ME you see a lot of calculations right?

Thanks a lot =)
 


Looks like ME is the way =)

Wow lisab i felt in love with Electrcity in my course and i like solar panels.
