Would Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering be the best fit for me?
I am interested in engineering and I want to stay close to the trades. (to be clear what I mean by the trades are the skilled construction trades like carpentry, electrical, and plumbing). I enjoy working with moving parts like with power tools, I like doing electrical wiring work, and I am interested in overseeing construction projects. According to my research I would enjoy doing something in each of the engineering categories above. Which one would allow me to be involved in the construction trades in a useful way?
For people who major in civil engineering, how do you all feel about it? Could you give me an example? What do your classes look like, and what college do you attend or plan to attend?
I want to major in that, but I want to get a feel for what it is. The interest gives me a textbook answer. I want someone who knows it or is going through it.
