Mechanical vs Aerospace engineering in Ontario
Ever since I was a kid, I was always amazed by airplanes. Never wanted to be a pilot but always wanted to work with them. I'm in Grade 11 but I am wondering whether to go into mechanical or aerospace engineering. The reason is that here in the Golden Horseshoe, my options for aerospace are very limited(UofT, Ryerson, York) I do not want to attend RMC, Carleton or University of Windsor. Whereas for mechanical engineering my options include McMaster, Waterloo, University of Western Ontario, Queens and more. There's many threads about this on many sites but I want to know specifically for Ontario. Can I get a job working with commercial airplanes with Bombardier or maybe even Boeing someday with a mechanical engineering degree? I know there are many jobs in the aerospace industry where they hire mechanical engineers and even electrical engineers for avionics etc. but which would be better overall keeping in mind I want to work with planes? I would prefer to go to McMaster or Queens just because its not as competitive as UofT St. George but I would be going into Mechanical engineering which I'm fine with but I don't want it to affect my future.
