Should I choose mechanical or civil engineering?
Mechanical and Civil Engineering are core branches of engineering and both offer good future prospects. You should choose one according to your interest.
- Both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering require good knowledge of Applied and Material Physics. If you are interested in Physics, you should consider other branches of engineering.
- Even though the base of these branches is Physics, the syllabus differs widely. So you should take a look at the syllabus for both branches before choosing one.
- Talk to the people who are currently working in these domains and get to know what exactly they are doing. This can help you a lot to select the right course for you.
- It will be better if you take a look at the M.Tech syllabuses for both branches as well. This will clear your vision in case you want to pursue higher studies in the future.
- You will get decent job opportunities from either of these branches. There are govt sector jobs as well as the private sector.
So, factor in all these points and see what interests you more.
Comments
Mechanical and Civil engineering are the two oldest and most widely used engineering disciplines. Civil engineering is primarily concerned with construction, design, etc. Mechanical engineering is the engineering branch that deals with the mechanics of automobiles and other machines.
- Both of these engineering fields are popular and provide many opportunities. There are job openings in both the private and public sectors or government organizations.
- Students can pursue an MBA degree after obtaining a specialization in a specific field, just as they can with mechanical engineering. This will allow them to be considered for managerial positions in the organizations.
- Civil engineers are employed in a variety of organizations, including real estate and construction, oil and gas, development authorities, and others. Both the government and the private sector have job openings.
