which has the better scope: electrical or mechanical engineering?
Surely ,mechanical engineering is best among all engineering for your future and experience ..let me explain..mechanical engineering have strong material science knowledge ,design and manufacturing of materials..Even electricity produced by help of so much mechanical engineers in electrical industry sector too.mechanical engineer have a basic knowledge about electronics and circuits as in sem they have 4 subjects of eeeeee courses and computer science programming course..but as in case of electronics engineering they didnt have kinematics subject ..Normal Mechanical company didnt need electrical engineering and computer science engineering so much if they had programming knowledge too..Machine programming and learning ,Al have become growing faster in advanced mechanical companies..As in case of automation company mechanical engineers having design knowledge of machines greater than cs,electrical engineer,..Nowadays mechatronics is trending a it contains basics of many engineering bases like mech,eee,cs,chemical,nuclear engineering..in this engineering they focus only mechanical design in subject of mechanical clasclasses..They neither having knowledge of gears,clutches,motors etc..so postgraduate in mechatronics having background of mechanical engineer makes highest number of scientists in research and development department ..Additionally they are in huge number too..Also mechanical engineers soon become get very good administration jobs and business and they are capable to run business in own..So all engineering companys promote mechanical engineers to their administration where they are treates as respectable and promote high salary than anyothers in engineering company..especially in mechanical companys...Additionally if you did master in mechatronics as an mechanical engineer you can play many role such asmechanical designdesign engineer,plc electronic programmable circuit,as short term of experience compare to other engineer you have become administration managerical role or sales manger,you can do any coding or developer jobs ,design software jobs in your home too where you are free..These were not possible if eee,cse students even did mechatronics..last bu not least in this world all are mechanical we cant produce high electricity without mechanical energy or components..All mechanical energy can be converted into any energy and vice -versa..Even sun,moon,earth gravity,star all are mechanical as they are moving objects..by havingrenewable sources mechanical department plays an advanced role by solar thermal powerplants..I request mechanical engineering students to do me or ms in mechatronics as whole world come to us..Eventhough mechatronics engineering discovered by electrical engineer in 1969 for development of giant mechanical machines as he work in mechanical company..
As Electrical engineering is the bridge between computer science and mechanical engineering. Electrical engineers probably have the toughest courses too because they involve the most physics as well as a significant amount of programming. As per my knowledge electrical engineers that can build and program a robot, but very few computer science majors that can build a robot and very few mechanical engineers that can program a robot.
So if you want to work for your salary but be in high demand, EE is the place. If you are better at dealing with things you can touch and see, ME is much better.
