What Type of Engineer Would You Want to Be?

[TalonStrike]

I had a poll asking what career path is the best a while ago, and "Engineer" won. Now, I am asking, specifically, what type of engineer you would want to be, or think would be the best option. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Oncologist

You want to engineer the world's greatest tumor?

EDIT: Social engineering FTW, btw.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Petroleum for Cash
Biomed for medical school
Industrial engineering for business folks that can do calculus
Software or Electrical Engineering for fun!

<===== EE

What's the non-douchey kind? Oh sorry, never met one of those kinds of engineers.

Serious, I'd want to design stuff I could see everyday. "See that bridge right there? Go ahead, jump on it, its not coming down anytime soon."

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

I'm going mechanical. At least until I find something better.

 

[TalonStrike]

If you were an EE you could get electrocuted though.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Locomotive

 

[Drako]

Already and Electrical Engineer, and I'm too old to change now .

 

[D1gger]

Civil, because that is the industry that my construction company works in the most.

Sci-Fi engineer. They are experts in physics, chemistry, biology, tautology, whatever other -ology is needed that week.

In real life I'm a software engineer, though development is currently more of a craft than a real engineering discipline.

 

[coxmaster]

Aerospace.. Its what im doing, and I love it so far (3rd year college)

 

[TuxDave]

Chemical Engineering is popular enough that it really shouldn't be listed under "other"

 

[Leros]

Electronics/Software

I really like the malleability of software. I can make a change to my code and rebuild in a few seconds/minutes. Software is about all design, the manufacturing component (compiling) is very small.

 

[TalonStrike]

software engineering ftw

 

[TalonStrike]

no love for industrial or environmental engineers lulz

 

[Kirby]

software engineering ftw

I hope you enjoy UML and use-case diagrams.

 

[Krynj]

Electrical or software.

Oh...you mean THAT kind of engineer...

IF I could ever wrap my head around the "fuzzy math," I'd like to do structural engineering. Bridges have always fascinated me. I've helped build them for decades...I'd like to help design them.
