You can do Electrical/Electronic/Chemical/Civil engineering after doing your Mech Eng degree? Give me a break. My post above was a joke as it is something that annoys me, I'm doing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the moment.
@OP: If you don't mind what kind of engineering you go in to, go for Chemical, the money is in it and will be so for many years to come. I chose mechanical over that because it interests me far more.

Difference being that what I said was just a random statement that most people probably ignored anyway, that guy seriously thinks that if you can do mechanical engineering you can do all branches of engineering.
Anyone, stop digging for arguments and get back to the topic of the thread.

And it's the same for the other degrees, it depends what modules you take. chemical engineering goes deeper into thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, civil engineering goes deeper into materials and static systems, mechanical engineering goes deeper into dynamic systems.

My brother does chemical engineering, their course concentrates on fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, mine concentrates on solid dynamics. But yeah I'm sure that's BS.
If you have nothing useful to contribute then ****** off and leave the discussion for people who have a clue.

Yes you are talking BS how can you compare every university course in the country/world based on your brothers opinion.
I have done more Thermo than a mate of mine who does Chemical Engineering, does that mean that every aerospace course does more thermo than chem?
Now i think you BS a lot and you are basically a troll so why dont you bugger off back to the wood work.
And as for having a clue? Do you read the thread before posting?
KaHn
Yes, in which you said nothing about either chemical or mechanical engineering.
So then, what is the speciality of chemical engineering if it isn't fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and the application of them?
As for the troll comment, I hope you aren't too upset.

Look mate get a life, all you've done on this forum is post troll ish comments, it grows old quick.
I posted about the question asked by the OP which you immediatly took off topic and then started saying nobody knows anything but you, now like I said go back to the wood work.

I corrected some advice someone was giving the OP because it was incorrect, mechanical engineering does not cover all aspects of engineering.
Then you started crying and trying to jump down my throat. You aren't even entertaining at trying to start flame wars.

I did a civil eng degree for a year before deciding it wasn't for me. As someone else said it is a full time course, 20+ hours of structured stuff per week (sometimes more) and a lot of reports and other bits to do each week. Almost all the practical stuff such as analysis of materials and surveying require reports being written for them and there is lots of group work. If you like maths and like being behind a desk it is the course for you (I decided I didn't want to be inside as much as I was going to have to be and chose a geology degree instead, but that was just my decision). We (civil eng) also did a lot of joint work with the other engineers (mech, electric etc) as a lot of bits such as design are the same. At Plymouth they even do a "General Engineering" course which may interest you if you aren't 100% sure of what you want to do.
Remember though there is nothing completely tying you to stay on the degree if you decide you don't like it, you can leave whenever you want, preferrably at the beginning so you can start a new course that year, or do what I did and start another degree the next year.
