SUMMARY

The discussion centers on choosing an engineering discipline while living in El Salvador, with a focus on Mechanical Engineering (ME), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Biomedical Engineering. Participants emphasize the importance of mathematics and physics in engineering, particularly in ME, which involves calculations related to mechanics and energy. The consensus suggests that pursuing a degree in ME or EE, while also taking biology courses, enhances employability in biomedical fields. Engaging with the Mechanical Engineering forum is recommended for further insights into the discipline.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws and conservation of energy
  • Basic knowledge of mechanical systems and calculations
  • Familiarity with electrical concepts and solar energy
  • Awareness of biomedical engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Mechanical Engineering principles and applications
  • Explore Electrical Engineering fundamentals, especially in renewable energy
  • Investigate Biomedical Engineering intersections with ME and EE
  • Join online forums or communities focused on Mechanical Engineering discussions
USEFUL FOR

Students considering engineering disciplines, aspiring engineers interested in Mechanical or Electrical fields, and individuals exploring career opportunities in biomedical applications.

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.
 
Physics news on Phys.org


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.
