DO I STUDY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OR ENERGY ENGINEERING?
When it comes to choosing a career, we have many questions. There are so many degrees and some are so specific that it is difficult to know which is the best option. However, many times different paths can lead to the same goal and what we have to be clear about is what our skills are , what areas we like the most and what is the objective we want to achieve.
Some of the questions we answer most often is whether we should choose between a more specific engineering, as is the case of Energy Engineering or if we choose a broader one that encompasses the area of energy and electricity, as is the case of Mechanical Engineering.

The Energy Engineering degree program covers a comprehensive range of energy-related topics, including hydraulic, electrical, thermal, renewable, and hydrocarbon energy sources. In contrast, the Mechanical Engineering syllabus delves into a diverse array of subjects, such as industrial design, engines, electronics, manufacturing, new materials, and energy efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, students in both programs have the opportunity to explore specialized areas like thermal engineering, electrical engineering, and electronics.
The key in this case is to decide if we want to specialize from the beginning and always dedicate ourselves to a very specific area such as energy or if we prefer to specialize later, once we have it clearer, and leave the door open to other areas that may interest us in the future and that we have not considered at first.
