Hi,
I'm trying to decide between these three majors. I'm in community college right now and plan on transferring next year God willing. I have taken almost all my math, physics, and chem courses and a bio class. I have also taken the following engineering classes at my college to help me decide: circuits, statics, and materials. However, I was interested in all of the courses I have taken so far including the bio classes. I've done well in all of those courses always at the top of the class. Relating to ME, I like classical mechanics, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Relating to EE, I liked learning about the physics of all the components (like capacitors, inductors, transistors, ...) and I liked designing circuits. Relating to bio, I liked pondering about evolution, ecology, and cell characteristics. I like pure physics and math, but I want to build and design. I'd like to know if there is any engineering field for quantum physics which I am also interested in. I like biomimetics (especially with designing airplanes) where they imitate designs observed in nature like the ornithopter (an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings) which I think is mostly related to ME major. I also like to find better ways to design circuits to save energy for like a dishwasher persay or deliver maximum power or speed for like a processor in a computer. I've heard for example about photonics where they make circuits that use photons of light and small mirrors for data transfer.
What keeps me away from bioengineering is that they use engineering to design for biological applications, but I am more interested in using biology and what is observed in nature in engineering.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on what major I should choose and why.
Thank you
