If you have friends in mechanical engineering, ask them to join you on a visit day at their workplace or any other place with engineering. That will change your mind.
The best thing about being an ME at Boeing is working with the old guys who knew what they were doing.
Yeah, you need ME to do any useful things in the real world. Like try repeatedly making the same robot without any MEs on your team.
When I was at Stevens everyone piled into CompEng and EE, kind of looking down on ME (and CS actually). To this day my ME friends are some of the smartest, coolest people I know.
Yep same here. Also people doing ME ah a hobby (so I guess not engineering in the legal sense)
I don't know. Look at self-driving cars. The mechanics is trivial compared to the CS stuff.
