In summary, computer engineering and electrical engineering are two distinct branches of engineering, with the former focusing on computer systems and the latter on electricity and electronics. Mechanical engineering is considered a main branch of engineering, involving the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Specialization within engineering departments is possible, with options such as aerospace engineering within mechanical engineering or software engineering within computer engineering. Prerequisites for studying engineering often include a strong background in math and science and a knack for problem-solving. The career options for each type of engineering are diverse and can range from automotive and aerospace industries for mechanical engineering to power systems and electronics for electrical engineering. It is important to research and explore different industries to determine the best fit for your chosen type of engineering.
