If you think in mechanical engineering, there is more to imagine than in electrical engineering, you have airplanes, boats, fluid mechanics, electric generators (the mechanical part) you have thermodynamics, welding, nuts, bolts, springs, gears, machines, well…. there is more than there is to imagine.
Now, many people could think, “if you study mechanical engineering, you are just gonna fix cars” well that is wrong in all aspects, since a mechanical engineer develops him/her self in many jobs and they are not necessarily cars, you can work in a eolic plant, you can work in a geothermic plant, you can work building a space shuttle etc….
