okay, so for my structural engineering major, i have to take a focus sequence. Civil Structures, Aerospace Structures, Renewal Engineering, or Geotechnical Engineering. as of now, i'm pretty clueless as to which i should pursue, but probably either civil, or aerospace.

anyways, are there any guys out there with experience in these fields? how is it?

thank you!

 

I'm a Junior at Clemson majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Honestly, the best way to figure out if it is for you is to get an internship. It'll give you some good hands on experience and an idea of what you'll be doing once your done with college. For me, classes really aren't anything like what you'll be doing once you have your degree. (I don't plan to sit in a cubical and crunch numbers all day) I would do what interests YOU the most. This is going to be your future. Try one out, and if you don't like it....switch. Taking an extra semester of classes to do what you want is worth it, atleast for me.

I graduated Cheme. I would say aerospace would be the one to do right now. They are highering shit loads around where I live. PM me if you need to know more.

 

thats what i've heard about aerospace too.

yeah i guess ill just take one and see how i like if, then transfer if i don't.

thanks everyone.
