You may want to go look at the Georgia Tech website or other Engineering type schools and see the different types of engineering degrees. I agree with Rebecca's answer, it is a very broad field. And probably best to diversify your skillset. Additionally, most colleges can provide you with a career assessment to help you understand where your interests lie. An Academic Advisor can help you with that.

There are many exponential technologies that are disrupting legacy industries and changing how we conduct our affairs. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotech, wireless, new space, blockchain, alternative energy sources and others are creating new industries and opportunities for individuals with passion and initiative. The pace of change today is rapid and your educational and career choices need to target industries that will be relevant for the next 50+ years and not those of industries that are being replaced. My best recommendation is to select an industry in a forward looking technology that interests you and look at the engineering positions that are listed on the web sites of companies that are active in these industries. This type of survey will help you identify the type of engineering functions you enjoy and will be relevant for the future. Once you've identified your areas of interest, look at companies in this industry and see if they have any academic affiliations and investigate these schools. You can attend a school from which a company that interests you recruits candidates. You can also talk to a company that interests you and find out which schools and programs they recommend.
Good luck with your search. Remember to look forward and embrace the change!

Engineers are creators and problem solvers. Yes, that's is a very general description and the doors open to so many possibilities for those with an engineering education. Some engineers stay true to their degree and design (hardware or coding) solutions. Almost every business these days is enabled by technology, which often means there's a need for engineers. I have an electrical engineering degree and have been working in the telecommunications field. My company provides Internet access and my teams have designed the physical networks that carry Internet communications. Friends of mine, who also graduated as engineers, work in construction projects or materials design or cyber security. To me, the most amazing thing about learning an engineering discipline is that you develop great problem solving skills. With those skills, engineers are often consulted to figure out how best to carry out the company's plan. Some jobs are purely about creating something new. Some jobs are about keeping something operating (the Internet) and growing it. And some engineers take sales-oriented jobs where they help customers understand how to apply their product to the customers' businesses.
My engineering education has afforded me the opportunity to be in an engineer job, an operations job, a sales engineering job, and a product development role, all in the same company, over 25 years.
