Which is better, Mechanical engineering or electronics and instrumentation engineering?

Question

which is better among these??? differentiate these with their future aspects...nd please tell me which one should i opt for on an overol basis...???

Answer 1

all the three are good... you will have to do MBA after graduation...

Answer 2

I think you have a sense of which is better.  Think about where we are heading and what kind of backgrounds are required for these new jobs.  Then look the leading companies and look at what kind of backgrounds they are looking for.  Mechanical engineering for the most part has been on the decline.  Electronics and instrumentation engineering has been growing, but much of it is going overseas.   What I suspect will be big is electromechanical engineering,  and disciplines that emphasize solar power systems, hydrogen powered systems, natural gas powered systems, and nano technology.  I would suggest you look into a degree what would emphasize these areas.  These are going to be growth areas for the next 20 years or so.   What I would suggest is that you to choose what you like best, then work for 2 years and then go back to school and get and MBA, or a law degree with an ephasis on intellectual property.  An engineering background is always in high demand when coupled with an MBA and also with a law degree.  If you don't like business or law, get masters in engineering from a different school.  Mastes in engineering are also in very high demand.  A PhD is generally not worth it, you will not be able to recoup your investment for the lost earnings you could have earned with a masters.

Answer 3

it depends on what you love to do

do you take things apart to see how they work, then put them back together properly, so they work again????

Mechanical Engineer - classic

Either of these has a good future and will continue to be in demand in many industries, all over the industrial world

Answer 4

i think mechanical engineering is best becaz today there r many contruction company and multinational company in which r carrier r bright if u do this u r earn a lot of money and ur carrier much bright in it.....its only a suggestion all ups to u...

Answer 5

Hi,

All the best for this new life.

Lets answer your question....Mechanical is all time favourite its an ever green engineering degree...so if you might have done 10 years ago or now. Doesn't matter. Will never let you down.

Electronics and instrumentation engineering is quite hot this time. After doing this either you can go for networking, computing, chip level engineering, lots of other project with telecommunication like reliance, airtel, Ericsson, Motorola, Cisco and so on...

You can also go for computer engineering...BEST AMONG ALL THREE.
