I'm not sure what type of engineering should I choose. Any advice?

    Rana, 
    
    This will depend on your personal strengths, interests, and what you want to do with you career. For some majors it is obvious what courses they build on. For example, if you love chemistry you might consider chemical engineering. For others like Industrial Engineering, the name can be deceiving. Did you know, ergonomics "the study of people's efficiency in their working environment" is part of industrial engineering. Industrial engineers also work on projects like disaster relief dynamics and healthcare networks. Mechanical engineers design and work at power plants and ca study fluid flow. Think about what you are passionate about and what you excel at and you can find a major where you can do both.
