i'm currently a junior in high school. I spent my childhood taking toys apart(action figures) and making my own personal action figure using other toys' parts(knees, arms) and i always told my parents that i wanted to invent things when i'm older. In my 8th grade, i made a solar/electric car for science fair. I attached solar panels on the top and made all the necessary adjustments for it to work, but it also had an electrical option. There was an on/off switch connected to a long wire, so it was kind of like a remote control car that could only go forwards though. Anyways, i like the idea of designing the body of a car, but i also like the aspect of how it works electrically(battery), as well as mechanically(engine). I also like the idea of designing weapons, how to increase fire rate, etc(however, i do not condone war/violence, i just like the mechanics behind firearms). I had an interest in medicine for a while, and i love the idea of designing prosthetics, but i also like the idea of mechanical hearts, brain controlled prosthetics(signals, etc), as well as drug delivery. I'm very sorry for going into so much detail, but could anyone give me some ideas of what kind of engineering suits me, or any points to help me decide? i'm not too sure about the types of engineering out there. thanks in advance!!
