alternative energy and engineering?
I understand that in the near future alternative energy will be a huge field to work in. i was wondering what type of engineering would apply to a position in a company that works with solar, hydrogen, or even electric fuel cells for cars? thankssss
Well, I would argue that there is no single best field to enter, and in fact these types of projects are usually done by a variety of types of engineers.
Some options you might want to consider include
Materials Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Chemical Engeering
The beauty of an engineering degree is its versatility. I know people with electrical engineering degrees working in the mining sector, etc. Since an engineering degree focuses on problem solving, you don’t always need to necessarily stick to your chosen path.
