    ELectrical,electronics,software or telecommunication engineering

    Hello everyone .Im new to this forum .And im new to the biz world .I am currently pursuing for my degree for engineering . but unsure of which field of engineering should i major into .Among these sectors, electrical,electronics,software or telecommunication engineering, i have a few questions.

    1.Which Has wider job prospects?
    2.I am prepared to learn more, and in the future , i am determined to start my engineering firm in the future , so which field has major advantage in business especially the market wise?
    3.In the Engineering business sector,What are the sectors like? (e.g manufacturing n consultation)
    4.If i major in telecommunication, will it somehow relate to broadcasting system eg radio station etc.

    Software engineering will be writing code. You will be a programmer. Could be high level languages, or embedded languages or various assembly code.

    Electrical itself has about a dozen specializations including areas like: control systems, power, electromagnetics, computer engineering, semiconductor properties, digital signal processing, plasmas, Optoelectronics, and the list goes on and on.

    Electronics is not usually a 4 year degree, its usually a 2 year associates degree.
    I have never heard of a telecom degree, don't know what yuou are referring to.

    Whatever you pick, won't really matter. You will get a good base in most electrical engineering fields most likely, based on what school you are at.

    Engineering degrees differ substantially from one sector to another.. I work with a number of different engineers (I am part of an engineering consultancy).

    Your best bet is to stick with a discipline you are interested in, if you like electronics, or electricals, become an electrical engineer, if you like IT/Comms, choose a degree in that sector.. etc..

    In regards to job sectors, well they difffer greatly depending on where you live. In dubai for instance.. 10 years ago there would have been tons of jobs for structural engineers, now the buildings are built.. theres more work for interior engineers, and service engineers (plumbers, electrical etc..)

    Good Luck

    Ok, no more replies for you until you can speak proper english. If you are really in college, you should be able to speak properly. When asking for information or advice, it helps if you show some maturity in your communications.

    Dear proffesionals.My apologies for speaking improper english and rudeness.Ill do my best frm now on

    Firstly, i really appreciate your replies based on my inquiries.Now I am acknowledged that there are different specialization in the electrical engineering sectors.

    1.Therefore,It means there are different industries and business for different specialization ranging from semiconductors,optotronics,contol systems etc?..

    2.I acknowledge that electrical sectors will deal with the structure once it is completed.But What are the processes involved (e.g Documents,contracts,equipments etc).Im still confused on how the Procedure works.

    3.Apart of that I overheard that u have to built your reputation for years in order to get in the competition.Im confused on how do the beginners built their reputation until they become sucessful.

    4.On my previous statement,what i meant by telecommunication is telecommunication networks,where we deal with telecommunication networks,fiber and integrated optics and wireless communication.Does it somehow relate to any elements of the broadcasting industries.

    Seeking advice and guidance.Thank you
