Hi everyone...newbie here...
Anyway jus wan to ask experience experts some questions.
Is electronics engineering the right course if i intend to accquire enough knowledge to enable me to handle automobile's electronic parts like the wirings, ECU rechipping or mayb go into further research on other electronic parts meant for automobile application?
Because i've seen mechanics look totally blank when they met wiring problems although they are very expert when installing or repairing parts.
When i ask around they seem to tell me that you'll know nuts unless you are majoring in automobile engineering which specialise you into automobile field only. How true is this?
I haven't been in the working world yet and i've no idea which course is more suitable. Please list down the name of the course if you have the correct one.
Thank you very much....

My youngest brother is currently pursuing his masters in electrical and computer engineering. Electrical and computer seem to go hand-in-hand. He knows nothing about cars because it wasn't part of his curriculum. He can tell me how the ECM was designed and what the IC chips do, but not why it does what it does or even where it is with the hood open!
My uncle has a masters in mechanical engineering and has worked for Ford and GM over his thirty-year career. As an engineer, he has designed systems for electric and hybrid concept vehicles, improved electrical and mechanical assemblies, and performed cost control analysis for concept vehicle production (what to take off, what to leave in, what to modify, and what the price range will be).
It boils down to your passions in life. You're getting an engineering degree, so quit talking to mechanics with a tech. certificate. Don't limit yourself to an automotive engineering degree, when at the same high fee, you can open more doors in the future with a mechanical engineer degree.
BTW, I'm not an engineer. Just a statistician interested in saving money and learning new things.
