As stated above…even within the same field of engineering, jobs vary a lot. In fact, endless possibility (some more techie than others).

DH and I both did MechE at a techie-centric college. We’ve studied and worked with a variety of engineers. Still we didn’t feel like we knew what type our kids were best suited for. (LOL - that’s probably why they both started as Undecided Engineering / MechE default plan. One eventually switched to Econ, and the other is now leaning toward Computer Engineering).

In general, my thought is that engineer=problem solver (with tolerance for a very heavy load of problem-sets homework in college).
