Just finished my foundation and now I'm going to choose my majoring for degree. between these choices, which one has better job prospect?

1. Electronic - Computer and Information
2. Mechanical - Automotive
3. Mechanical - Aerospace
4. Communications

only left with these, others already out from my list. hope the experts can help, thanks smile.gif

I'm currently taking mechanical engineering and am in my 2nd year, will be 3rd year next sem.. and to me i can see that you either wan something that is mechanical or computer based.. what you mean is choosing your degree right? because majoring is only when you have selected your degree course and when you're in your final year that you can choose you major..

Here's my opinion on the matter, only choose electronics if you really like circuits and stuff because a lot of my unimates says that E&E is really tough.. for mechanical, i think that its a good choice as mechanical is more general and we are qualified for civil and a little of e&e.. and once you have taken mechanical you then have another 3 years to choose if you wan to learn more about aerospace ( more towards Fluid Mechanics ) or automotive ( more towards Thermodynamics ).. For communications i'm not sure bout that, hopefully someone here can enlighten you on it..

Actually I'm ok with all those choices, but to be honest I love Automotive since bikes & cars are my passion. Just want a clearer picture of what my future is going to be if I take one of them.
Yeah, you're right since i mixed up with those terms used by my uni (and the form i'm going to fill is called 'Majoring Form'). About the electronics, I don't think it's purely about E&E. I've browsed through the sillibus, and among of them is :

- Operating Systems
- Digital Logic Design
- Multimedia Technology
- Computer Architecture and Design
- VLSI Design

So, it's kinda mixture of computer, IT, electronics and a lil bit of communication. In my uni, all 1st year engineering students will took the same subjects for 2 semesters (general engineering subjects - calculus, statics, dynamics, etc), and for the next 6 semesters are specific subjects according to one's majoring (one of above plus other 3-4 majoring). The problem about mechanical in my uni is, it's too specific (either automotive or aerospace) and not pure mechanical. I think the job field wouldn't be wide enough compared to pure mechanical one.

Yea i understand as all uni will go thru general engineering courses first.. i'm from utp, dunno if you have heard bout it but it focuses mainly in engineering.. it doesn't really matter wad major you choose because the major is only different by 3 subject. for my uni, we have 5 majors to choose from and only choose it after our internship of 7 months.. i heard from my seniors that are graduates, internship company you choose is more important as experience is more accounted for...
