Civil Vs Mechanical Engineering - How to Pick the Right Major

The video compares civil and mechanical engineering, highlighting their similarities in early college years and differences in later years and careers. Mechanical engineering focuses on heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechatronics, and manufacturing. Civil engineering includes subfields like structural, geotechnical, water resources, and transportation engineering. Both fields share structural engineering, but with different focuses. The curriculum for both majors is math-intensive, with mechanical engineering requiring more calculus.
