If you can't remember physics, you should avoid engineering.  That eliminates choice A.\n\nIf you like programming, choose B if not, choose C.

i'm not sure which would make more money in North America but right now I'm just finishing first year studying civil engineering in Glasgow, Scotland. It just depends if you're more into the designing side of things or the technical side. On my course there are people who are studying both civil eng and architecture so maybe you should think about doing that to give you a view of both subjects? Good luck!

Check out biomedical engineering if you get a chance... that is really the hottest engineering discipline right now...\n\nBUT, I would choose electrical engineering since you can do SO MUCH with that degree: Power engineering, RF/microwave, computers, software, circuits, system engineering, nano-engineering.... \n\nI also know of some electrical engineers who work as mechanical engineers... so in any event you are never really stuck... \n\nAlso, know that electrical engineering is the closest engineering discipline to pure physics... \n\nBUT choose mechanical engineering if mechanical doo-hickeys fascinate you... you are good with your hands... you like math.... you are comfortable using CAD tools on the computer.... you feel comfortable in a machine shop.... \n\nIn terms of the JOB MARKET.... as long as you get good grades in college you will get a job... TRUST ME. Good engineers are a rarity... ALSO, if you learn a foreign language like Chinese or Korean than the job recruiters will be knocking your door down.

After you have trained to be a manager why even consider any other role?  Are you learning to do HR or finance?  Or would your degree be a Masters Degree in Finance or Human Resources? Get with the program.  Why did you get the MBA, a degree specifically established for engineers who would be promoted to management, if not to become a manager?

My opinion is that mechanical engineers have more opportunity.  Industrail engineers work mainly in factories, distribution centers and the like designing production lines, doing time studies , logistics planning, forcasting production, etc. Mechanical engineering is much more varied. Just about any company doing design work probably needs an ME but mostly only manufacturing and distribution companies need an industrial/production engineer. Given the range of topics that an ME needs to study in school, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, statics, strength of materials....he or she could be working on nanomachines, steel structures, aerospace, medical devices, engines, pneumatics,  thermal design...the list goes on and on.  MEs make more money striaght out of school.  Manufacturing is also on the decline in the US.

'CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING' CITED AS LEADING SKILL FOR GLOBAL MANAGERS, SAYS COLUMBIA EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SURVEY\n\n'PEOPLE SKILLS' AND 'COMMUNICATIONS' ALSO IDENTIFIED AS KEY ATTRIBUTES IN STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVES\n\nGeneral Managers Getting Younger; Most Meetings Still Face-to-Face\n\n \n\nNEW YORK, NY - October 19, 2004 - "Cultural understanding" was by far the primary skill required in a global manager, according to a study conducted by Columbia Business School's Executive Education division. While more than 50% of the respondents identified that attribute to be key, the survey also found that "people skills" (30%) and "communications" (30%) were also highly valued traits for managers of international enterprises.\n\nThe respondents to the survey were attendees of Columbia Executive Education's seminar "Executive Development Program: The Transition to General Management." The program is designed for executives new to general management or being groomed for General Manager positions with cross-functional responsibilities. Three quarters of the participants were from outside the United States, with the largest concentration from Asia.\n\n"The international makeup of our participants gives this survey particular importance," says Ethan Hanabury, Associate Dean for Executive Education at Columbia Business School. It is no surprise, he says, that cultural, interpersonal and communication skills rank so high: "The executives in our survey represent the front lines of global management. They understand that these skills are the foundation of strong leadership, especially on a global level."\n\n______________\n\nOther findings of the Columbia Executive Education study:\n\nGeneral Managers Are Getting Younger\nNearly two thirds (64%) of the global executives surveyed reported that General Managers are being placed in those positions at a younger age, nearly ten times the percentage (6.7%) of those who believed that GM placements are going to older candidates. They were evenly divided on the ease of attaining the position, compared to five years ago.\n\n"The executives who say it is easier now to become a General Manager credit the greater emphasis on an individual's capability, mentoring, ongoing education and a sense that corporate environments are more receptive to change," comments Dean Hanabury. "This conclusion is supported by our finding that nearly two thirds of the respondents to our survey believe that General Managers are achieving those positions at a younger age."\n\n________________\n\nGlobal Team Meetings Still Predominately Done In Person\nThe Columbia Executive Education survey findings also demonstrate that, despite technological advances like video conferencing and webcasts, global team meetings are still predominantly held in-person.\n\nOver the last three years, respondents said 49.4% of their global team meetings were held in person; 25.3% by conference call; 18% through instant messaging; and, surprisingly, only 4.5% by video conference/webcast.\n\n"With nearly half of the executives reporting that global meetings are held in person, these results underscore our findings about the importance of cultural understanding and communication as important skills for global managers," says Dean Hanabury. "When you really need to get the message right, nothing beats a face-to-face meeting."\n\nAbout Executive Education at Columbia Business School\n\nConsistently top-ranked in Executive Education by the Financial Times and other surveys, Columbia Executive Education is a division of Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. It offers programs that deliver a global perspective on the latest theories and trends driving business around the world. Columbia Executive Education offerings include open enrollment programs for individuals and customized programs to meet specifi

if your a logistical person, good at organising things but not so keen on disciplining other go for higher management. Strangely the psychological requirements for being a good upper level manager is the same as nursing. Problem solving and looking after about 15 things.\n\nlower level management is more people skills, less problem skills.\n\nTechnology?  hmm, if you like designing things and have a good imagination, so so on the maths go for industrial design or architecture.\n\nIndustrial designers do what i imagined engineers did\nengineers do lower level management

The University of Michigan Industrial & Operations Engineering has a great set of courses specially designed for SCM and Logistics.. Im taking them and I'm learnign a lot

I'll go into MBA then take the master's in engineering.. engineering without a business is making yourself an employee and giving out your ideas to your boss. If you take MBA, at least you have the knowledge to make your own business.

Also, should mention University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business. Consistently ranks (9 straight years) in the top two for International Business.

Depends whether you mean working a global project that involves various countries, or project management in countries other than the US.\n\nIn general project management is similar the world over, although in the US the Project Management Institute is more well known than in the rest of the world where the IPMA is more known. In the UK in particular the PRINCE2 process/certification is well known - less so in the US.\n\nSome domestic projects can be spread over many states, which presents many of the same challenges as different countries. However, international projects obviously have the additional challenges of language, customs/import/export issues, local laws, local customs, security, exchange rates, wider time differences, travel costs, international treaties etc.

Try to take an MBA degree. Now a days a mere engineering degree is not enough. More over it help you in business also.

Industrial Engineering is closely related to mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.  Actually all engineers must study at least the fundamentals of all engineering fields in order to cooperate with other specialized engineers.  The Industrial Engineer specializes in setting up and efficiently running industrial plants that may include electrical, mechanical and chemical components and other.  One specialty of the Industrial Engineer is to study time management which includes the organization and flow of materials and products through the plant and the efficiency of workers who may need more or better tools to avoid rejects.

I am actually currently taking this class. The concept of it is to teach you all aspects of doing business internationally, it is important to know if you are working with a company that does business internationally. You learn about management, marketing etc. skills.

Sounds like a bachelors in business administration with honors.  yes it is an internationally field of study.

Ok! This might earn brickbats, but I believe it to be the true answer. \n\nIn India, usually the top scorers land up in engineering. This implies that most of the high IQ crowd which  finds it relatively easy to crack CAT is in this group. (You can say engineers have good quantitative skills, but its engineers who top the English section too). Another fact is engineering is a relatively rigorous course where you have to slog more to survive. This makes engineers, who have managed to survive, relatively hardworking.\n\nAgain, commerce graduates can and do get admitted to the IIMs. They are usually the ones with the high IQ and probably the ones who did take their graduation course seriously inspite of it requiring less efforts for mere survival. \n\nYou can see from the above two factors, how probability ensures that more IIM entrants are engineers.\n\nWork experience ofcourse is of additional help as it  (supposedly) makes you more mature and smart. \n\nAll said and done, however, it is your performance in the CAT and the Group Discussion/Interview rounds which determines whether you are eligible for an IIM. There exists no bias for any particular discipline!
