What type of Engineering should I do? (1 Viewer)

[dawilster]

Hi,

Well I'm currently in year 12 and I soon have to make the decision on what career pathway I want to undergo in 2011.

I'm not totally sure what I want to do exactly but I'm going to post a few things I'm interested in and tell me what course/career you think might be suitable.

An interest in:

• Very good problem solver (I actually enjoy it).
• Electrical Engineering (Not working with small electronics, etc. But definitely maintenance of high end technologies such as robots and control systems).
• Would really like to study renewable energies maybe as a post graduate course
• I like innovative technologies.
• Enjoy working with computers and with my hands.

I also like in Melbourne, VIC so course references in Victoria would benefit me greatly, although I am willing to move if thats whats necessary.

Cheers guys.

mechatronics/electrical.

 

[tommykins]

sounds like mechatronics + electrical

from your points 1, 2, 4, 5, i'd say go mechatronic, point 3 would be suitable for photovoltaic.

How are career opportunities in mechatronics?
