Help deciding higher education

When I finished university (somewhen in last century's nineties), the "masters programme" (the equivalent back then was called "Fachrichtung") chosen didn't matter at all for the later jobs. University reputation has some weight, most important is: While your university time you'd learn to constantly learn and keep up with your stuff on the job.

Wallace Gasiewicz:
Are there any universities that have built in summer internships with their courses?? This might be a factor and would let you out into the real world a bit. It would give you a view of engineering and help you choose a particular area of interest. Also internships were PAID.
When I went to engineering school, after the second year, you spent one trimester in school and then one at work till you graduated in total of 5 years. (personally I dropped out and went into something else)
Another comment about specialty.... when I went to engineering school, most professors has no idea of what a computer was. I had an acquaintance who really was in charge of the computer program, he was an engineering student, not even a grad student. I think he also owned a computing company. (back in 1968)
I say this in order to give you an example of upcoming technologies, could be anything...maybe bio power next??? HA!
Although basics in engineering school are necessary it would be nice to get out into the real world and see what part of engineering you prefer.
