Well I've been studying mechanical engineering for 2 years know but I still don't seem to like it at all I always wanted to study computer engineering and know want to to change my field and study computer what do you think I should do could you tell me the main difference and what I could do if I become a mechanical engineer and what I could do if I become a computer engineer or do you have a link to a very good topic about this
Do both.
Whenever I have a choice like that, I just cover my bets and do everything like a lunatic.
Of course, "Jack of all trades; master of none" springs to mind. I do a lot of things, but no one field amazingly well.
But if you absolutely must do only one at a time, I'd say stick with mechanical, and THEN do computer; you've already sunk 2 years into mechanical, and it's more likely to stay relevant while you do computer.
It's like crawling through something terrible to get to the good thing on the other side, only you've already crawled a distance through the terrible; why not finish it, and reward yourself with computer engineering?
well yes I actually have to study one off them and mechanic is extremely hard (though i don't know about computer)and I wouldn't have any time to learn computer while studying mechanics and also all the subjects I have passed till now were general subjects so if I want to study computer they will accept most off my subjects and I might only fall 1 term behind! I'm really confused because I don't like mechanics too much there for I don't study much and I won't even be able to finish it the way I'm studying now I don't know that if I study computer which I like I would study better?
i did computer engineering for my first semester. i hated it with a fiery passion.
i switched to civil engineering, and i really like it.
if you really can't stand your major, i wouldnt stick with it. but don't switch unless you know you enjoy the new major, otherwise your fudgeed.
Computer engineering? Is it like software engineering (programming) or more circuitry based, or maybe even nanotechnology?
I started a software engineering degree this year and I love it, having said that I have friends who do civil or mechanical and they love that and hate what I do. It really comes down to you as a person, do you program in your spare time? That's probably a pretty big indicator.
You can probably do some software engineering related courses as electives more mechanical so that might be a way to try it before you full on switch.
Same question as Zinga though, do you mean Software engineering or Computer systems engineering? Both are quite similar but computer systems engineering has more overlap with Electrical (and the less Electrical the better IMO :p)
I did engineering for 3 years and lets just say I really never was 100% about it. Yeah sure I have had some fun in it and I do understand the concepts of it. But if you don't think it's fun then you shouldn't do it.
Like Sup? said.

Its really what you want to do. I couldn't say it better myself.

that's another problem, I don't know which one of the two is better!and the bigger problem is that they say computer engineering in our university and even in most of the universities in my country isn't so good and the teacher's aren't so good! but still that's what people say!
