What is the best engineering section to get a degree in? Any minors to go with it?

A lot of great engineeres major or minor in physics.

I assume you mean aircraft mechanics and maintenance.   Usually I don't recommend this, but you might want to look into the military.  First choice would be Airforce, followed by Navy and Marines.  There are technical schools that also offer this training, but I would expect that the military will offer superior credentials in this field since you may get security clearances for more... delicate work.\n\nUniversities, such as the Ohio State Univeristy, will have aerospace ENGINEERING, which is about DESIGNING aircraft, but there are generally MANY students seeking that degree, creating a glut of job-seekers in that employment market.  This is yet another reason to seek the training and experience through the military because, not only will you get the GI bill to help pay for college, but you will also have excellent professional experience and discipline.  I have seen these guys enter engineering as I am an advisor and find that they tend to be more successful.\n\nI won't kid you though, Navy or Marine work on an aircraft carrier or whatnot is not the safest work in this field!

University of New Mexico has one of the top rated Electrical Engineering programs in the US.\n\nColorado School of Mines is highly rated and is particularly outstanding for mechanical and civil engineering.

I agree with the first guy.  If you REALLY want to know about majoring in physics, don't ask a bunch of random, faceless people on the internet!  Go to a college and talk to actual present physics majors, and go talk to phsyics professors who majored in physics.  Both physics and engineering are great fields, but it's up to YOU to decide which one is better for you.  Good luck!

aerospace engineering is the best option

Mechanically (or as ranks are assigned)\nI would rate them as\nInformation science, Computer science, \nElectronics / communication / electrical\nMechanical/ industrial / \nCivil / and there are plenty other.. (i guess around 20+ )\n\nSo you need to pick pick where you want to see yourself..\n\nYou think you have a very good logic sense and like computers you have CS choice\n\nIf tiny electronics facinates you as well as communication of telephones .. the ECE  is there\n\nIf you are good with 3d visualisation and like precision then Mechanical engineering is for you.\n\nIf you have a great and beautiful sense of making your houses / buildings  then it is civil engineering for you..

I am currently doing it at the moment.  Find a University that offers the course.  Make sure you work hard in your Physics and Maths classes, as these form the foundation of what you will learn at University.  Also, If you are still at school, see if they offer any kind of engineering science classes.  These will help a lot.\n\nAnother option is to explore the air force.  This can give you a hands on version of Aeronautical engineering, which may be better if you are a more hands on orientated person.

I'd start by enrolling in/applying to a university that offers a EE program.  After, take the required classes, and if you do well enough they'll grant you a degree.

While I really don't think electronic engineering is a major you'll find in the U.S., in addition to MIT & Cal Tech, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign also has an excellent program (and rich history) in electronics.  Of course this is under the umbrella of the electrical engineering major.\n\nNote:  I'm not affiliated with any of the above universities, so I'm not biased towards them.  They really are the best.

Depends on where you want to live.\n\nCalifornia: -- Try Cal Poly SLO (for Engineering and Architecture), CSU Chico for Engineering, UC Davis for Engineering.\n\nSchools like MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley have great graduate programs but worthless undergrad degrees.

Either try University of Missouri-Rolla, or Collorado School of Mines.  They are two of the top schools in the nation for engineering studies.

Don't pick a minor yet.. just be thankful you know what you want to major in already! Many college students don't know that much when they first start. (I've changed mine twice and I;m a junior!) Just take basic freshman classes and English classes.. as you start taking basic classes like History, Psych, foreign language, etc, you will find what you like best.  I am a Spanish minor and I love it, by the way~! (just an idea;-)  well good luck!! have fun at college

Engineering is a well respected profession, ranking as one of the public's most trusted professions.\n\nHere is a list of the major branches of engineering:\n\n    * Aerospace engineering\n    * Agricultural engineering\n    * Architectural engineering\n    * Biomedical engineering\n    * Chemical engineering\n    * Civil engineering\n    * Computer engineering\n    * Electrical engineering\n    * Electronics engineering\n    * Environmental engineering\n    * Industrial engineering\n    * Materials engineering\n    * Mechanical engineering\n    * Mining engineering\n    * Nuclear engineering\n    * Ocean Engineering\n    * Petroleum engineering\n    * Software engineering\n\nSee the link below about the best places to start your engineering career:

Good luck with that one.\n\nOnly way you're going to get that accomplished is if you are an absolutely outstanding student, network relentlessly, and are better than everyone else.\n\nIf you can do that, it doesn't matter which major you choose.  Engineering in this day in age though is more in demand than just about anything else.

Having a minor in addition to your major gives you an edge on the competition when applying for a job. If you are an engineer with a minor in chemistry, then you may be considered for a position before a person with just an engineering degree. Also, you will have taken credits toward that particular major while you were minoring in it, so if you decide to get a bachelor's degree in your minor, you are halfway there.\nI personally would like to continue my education into my late 80's or 90's. Die with about 25 degrees and 300 minors.\nWhy? Well, why not? \n;)

While there are many factors to consider when choosing a school of higher eductation, the US News and World Report listings are a good start.\n\nNow the link given below is for graduate schools.  I think you would have to pay for the complete listing of undergraduate engineering programs.  Nevertheless, the link should give you a good idea of top engineering programs in America.\n\nGood luck.

i know waterloo has a good mechanical and mechatronics program. they have a really good engineering program in general, so for all types. \n\nengineering science at university of toronto has an infrastructure program, which is like civil kinda. and it has other options which relate to those 3 (nanoengineering, manufacturing, infrastructure). \n\nhope that helped. sorry i dont know any outside of ontario. later
