I finally figured out where my interests lie. Power production. Not any specific one but which branch would study solar power, wind power, nuclear, automotive engines (esp new ones like hydrogen, electric, ethanol). Is there one branch that would study power production? I don't want electrical engineering because I absolutley hate studying electrical devices and components. I'm interested in power production.

Isn't power systems a subfield within electrical engineering? I don't understand how you can be interested in power production but not like EE.

If you're interested in engines, you should consider mechanical engineering as an alternate.

Mechanical engineering would also be very relevant IMO. Chemical could be a potential choice as well, but I think you would have less options in the area.

ME, easily.

ME.

You study turbines, engines, heat-exchangers, power-plants and the works.

Mechanical engineering is like the jack-of-all trades engineering degree.

Chemical engineering for fuel cells, biofuels.

Call me naive, but wouldn't environmental engineering deal with some of these systems (like solar, wind, nuclear, and alternative feuls)?

Definitely Mechanical Engineering

i did ME and i had researches and courses about the alternative energy sources(solar, wind, goethermal etc.), also i studied automotive engines and its possible power sources, like hydrogen. go for ME!

ME or physics
