Graduated this past summer with a BS in Mech. Engineering. The thing about mechanical engineering is that you can do practically anything with it.....design racecars/airplanes/washing machines.

Physics is only the tip of the iceberg, and it only gets harder. There were three classes that either made you or broke you at my school. Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Fluid Mechanics. If you could get through those three, then you could probably get through the rest of the curriculum.

If you are a car guy, i'm assuming you are since you are on a car fourm, then do the Formula SAE project. Nothing else will prepare you better for the real world, or help you get into the automotive engineering industry.
