Programs Which Engineering Major Is Best for a Career in Thermal Energy?

AI Thread Summary
For a career focused on thermal energy and external combustion systems, mechanical engineering is identified as the most suitable degree. The discussion highlights that the individual has completed essential foundational courses in math, chemistry, physics, and computer science, which are prerequisites for various engineering programs. While electrical and chemical engineering were also considered, mechanical engineering aligns best with the specific interests in energy systems. The University of Washington - Seattle offers a range of engineering programs that could support this career path.

Hello,
My apologies for making my first post a question but I was wondering if anyone could suggest an engineering degree which would be most suitable for a career with energy, specifically thermal energy and external combustion systems. I was technically a junior and had to take an session off because I did not declare my major.
Apart from the typical 2-3 discipline specific engineering courses, I have completed all math, chemistry, physics, and computer science courses required for every engineering program offered at my school (University of Washington - Seattle). Specifically, I've been leaning towards electrical or chemical engineering and am open to minor suggestions. I look forward to your opinions and thank you in advance.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
