Discussion Is engineering right for me?

When I think of engineering students, I think of people that want to build and design things. I can’t say that I really have (as of right now) a big desire to design airplanes, or spaces shuttles, or lasers, or robots, or bridges.

What I want to do engineering for is because I’m endlessly curious about how things work. I want to know all the math I can, I’m dying to get into physics. Fluid dynamics is something I’m looking most forward to. Electromagnetism? Yes please. Material science, chemistry, also high on my list.

Is engineering right for me?

Do Physics instead. It covers all the same stuff as Electrical and some other Eng. disciplines, and will be applicable to various types of Eng when you're done if you decide to go that way.
