If he’s interested in MechE then it makes more sense to go that route. He will have plenty of opportunities with that degree. Even electric vehicles have many mechanical needs.

There are some really cool opportunities for MechEs in the defense industry that are automotive based. Of course he could be working on a 60 ton tank, a cutting edge hybrid vehicle or an amphibious troop carrier as opposed to a family sedan. Good opportunities exist both within the government and with defense contractors.
