Ayo fellow engineering students! Anyone ever get that feeling when you just sit back and say "Why am I here?" Don't get me wrong, I LOVE engineering... but did you ever wonder if you should have went to another university? gone into another discipline? or even go into another degree?? Sometimes i see science articles and think to myself "Man that's really intense!". Mind you, I do the same thing with Biomed engineering. Sometimes i just wonder  |

WanderingRoninYeah, I think we all had multiple interests growing up. But there always comes a point when you must choose a path and go somewhere. I was always interested in Experimental Physics and Aerospace Engineering, in addition to the Nuclear Industry. I did end up doing a little of them all. But the Nuclear industry was the path I eventually followed. You can't just keep changing your mind forever... You won't ever get anywhere by doing that. You just have to search your soul for the answer to which one is most important to you. Chris

Thanks Chris! My problem isn't that I haven't found my answer yet... I know I want to do Biomed. the problem is that I don't start taking biomed courses till this year and my final year. A lot of the courses I'm taking now aren't directly linked (obviously key concepts form ANY engineering course apply to pretty much everything) so sometimes I wonder if I should have gone to a larger university to take a more robust biomed program.

every one thinks that .. its the human nature .. no one is ever fully contented .. but at the end of the day , engineering is what is best for us ..

I started out in pure math, then taught high school geometry and robotics. As I prepared for robotics, my mind craved mechanics. It led me to a master's thesis in vector dynamics.

I have changed my major 4 times. I had no idea exactly what I wanted to do until just recently. I had honestly never considered Engineering until I was testing with an Engineer one day. The design he was testing did not fit properly into the Aircraft and took us Maintenance Personnel five hours to get it into place. I drew him up a quick schematic of what I thought would work the best, and measured out the dimensions that he had to work with to the full benefit of the Crew, Maintenance Personnel and Engineers. He later used that design to come up with a solution to the fit issue. He asked me if I ever thought of being an Engineer. That's when I started researching Engineering. After about a week, I knew that is what I wanted to do. It was an epiphany for me. We all have those moments when we are unsure. What is important is that we keep our eyes on the "light at the end of the tunnel," so to speak.
