Hey guys,
I’m currently a junior at UAB and will soon be interning. BUT, I am split in between design engineering and energy engineering. I’ve worked with product design in the past, an I absolutely loved it. I love working with CAD, 3D printing, etc.
I have also researched in energy engineering (distributed power generation systems), and although I didn’t absolutely love it, I didn’t hate it. And I feel that energy engineering is very interesting. I also think that there is a lot more room for advancement in that industry given the “energy crisis”. So I feel that a lot more money will be invested in the future in increasing building efficiency, car efficiency, etc.
One detail is that I don’t wish to get a Master’s or PhD, I would like to go straight into the industry.
GPA: 3.32
Major: Mechanical Engineering
So, basically what I’m asking is what would you guys prefer and why? What are some pros and cons of each that y’all know of?
