Help needed!...course decision: civil, mechanical or aerospace??
Dear Engineering students or ANYONE!
I have to apply to unis and I need to hurry up...but I'm stuck inbetween my course choices... :/
I know its going to be Engineering but I haven't got a clue which one to pick. I really really like Civil but there are certain factors holding me back...Mechanical sounds amazing and diverse...and Aerospace looks interesting...I'm just sooo confused!
Could you guys provide me with more info on each and why you chose your course? It would really help!
Also, what exactly do you have to study during these courses? What kind of maths or physics...?
If I could strike off one it would be Aerospace...but still...
Thank you so much!

Pick civil or mechanical as they the most broad, allowing you to specialise later on. As to whether civil or mechanical, do you prefer things that move or things which are designed not to? Eg, could you see yourself designing bridges, dams, etc (civil) or cars, turbines etc (mechanical). Also, in maths/physics do you prefer the topics on statics and moments (civil) or dynamics and kinematics (mechanical)?

What exactly do you like about civil engineering?
I myself am applying for uni this year and I'm applying for civil engineering this is because I always liked maths and physics and was more interested in the meachanical side of maths but then futher interested in the topics including forces and moments which according to a civil engineer I have talked to is an important part of the course. He also metioned that mechanical engineers deal a lot with plumbing but I'm not sure if that is correct. Although I'm also in the same postion as you and I'm really confused about what I want to do!!
