What engineering degree should I take and what college to accompany it?
Q. I am taking up engineering. What would be some similar and beneficial majors to look at. I will probably get more than one since I am planning to run my dad's business. I'm looking at architecture, civil engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Maybe two of them. I don't know which ones are in the most demand or anything. I can also go to any college in the United States to learn these things. I'd also like to know a good college to teach me engineering. Any advice?

A. The different engineering disciplines are different beasts. Many of the mathematical skills will be the same (calculus differentiation and integration, sometimes partial differential equations), but the laws and concepts to understand will be very different. Civil engineering deals with static (not moving) physics and strengths of materials, as well as large water systems and geological things. Beginning pay is around $40,000/yr, and there's not a particularly high demand for them. In my intro engineering class, about 60% of the students were majoring in civil engineering. Mechanical engineering deals more with dynamic physics (things that move) as well as a lot of fluid dynamics (pumps, valves and pressure, and hydraulics) and… [cont.]

Is it reasonable to double major in engineering and digital arts?
Q. I'm really strong in math and sciences, and it would definitely be a lot more useful to society for me to become an engineer. However, I've just discovered a passion for digital arts, whether it's modeling something 3-D in Maya or filming, editing, and adding effects to a video. Would it be reasonable for me to double major? Would a major in engineering and a minor in digital arts be better? Would an engineering career even be helped by training in digital arts?

A. a lot of people go on to do different careers then what they major in so you could major in engineering and ultimately end up as digital artist but the bottom line is to major in what you want to do and what you enjoy doing regardless of the benefit to society and you can always go back to school hope this helps :)

A. You might try researching some of the projects being undertaken in your home town or region. See what info you can find and see if you can improve on any of the ideas. Getting some real world experience is not just important it will help you get more interested again. Perhaps you have time to offer your help to some charity? Many charities need help with plans for improvements, if you could help draw up preliminary plans they could maybe take them further later.
