what is the most respected or high impact engineering discipline?

<p>ya, his approach works, I guess there can’t be a defining factor to determine how much money one would and should get and certainly no definite factor in basing a major with salary and money.
Guess it’s luck and a bunch of other factors…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And conversely, structural engineers can pretty much do whatever it is that mechanical engineers can do. Plus, they’ve got courses in dirt and concrete and hydrology and whatnot, same as the rest of the civils.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Seconding this.</p>

<p>I’ll say nuclear engineering. Noone else has. ;-)</p>

<p>I’ll say nuclear engineering. Noone else has. ;-)</p>

<p>id have to say textile engineering. its beats out nuclear by a little bit</p>

<p>^ humankind can’t function without clothes, thats right.</p>

<p>EECS generally. The bottom of the ladder would be poop. And below that, Civils. :)</p>

<p>Waits for the aibarr slap…</p>

<p>Seriously, all these jobs are needed, they are required by our economy some are in more demand than others. Engineering, of any sort, is a highly respected profession.</p>

<p>noones said anything about aerospace engineering</p>

<p>**** someone did</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Below poop? No, that’s funny and parodic, in a South Park kind of way. I’m leaving that one alone.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If your logic is correct, then clearly petroleum engineering is the most respected and highest impact engineering discipline.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ergo, his logic is obviously flawed.</p>

<p>(here, you can have your goat back now.)</p>

<p>I am very proud to be involved in the most respected and highest impact engineering discipline. :)</p>

<p>I had a vision, and the answer to the question is: industrial engineering.</p>

<p>Thanks for playing!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Woah, you switched to structural engineering?? I’m honored! =)</p>

<p>Is the ‘industrial’ discipline less respected? not taken as seriously? is there a probable chance of fazing out in the future?
In other words…can you easily get a freekin job in it?</p>

<p>Well, it helps if you can spell.</p>

<p>I love how snarky this board has gotten.</p>

<p>Search the forum on “industrial engineering” and you can see the pages and pages of flame wars we’ve had in the past… That might be more helpful than our rehashing it here. I don’t think there’s any new IE posters whose blood we might feast upon, so the answers this time won’t be much different than the answers from last time.</p>

<p>But yes, do learn to spell.</p>

<p>Wrong. You can consider me a new IE poster.</p>

<p>Soooo… perhaps you would be so kind as to answer the poster’s question…?</p>
