Going to community college right now and i want to transfer to a 4 year university. I plan on getting my Associate of Arts Degree but im not sure what should be my area of emphasis. Im stuck between Engineering and Technology or Natural Sciences

Bump

This is a slow board, you don't need to bump it so quickly. And since you're at a community college, can't you get both and transfer with an emphasis in one? It might give you more time to decide which you'd rather devote more time to

I'm at a community college too, and while I want to hurry the fuck up and leave it's also a lot cheaper to try everything now and have a decision set in stone than to do so later at a more expensive university. Personally I'm trying to decide if I want to stick with music or try getting into some STEM stuff. Once I'm caught up on general ed I'm planning to take course in other subjects while I can, just in case I find something better. Can't beat $46 a unit

American education is so weird. How could you get an associate degree in Arts by focusing on technology or science?

Anyway, to answer your question, it depends on what you find more interesting.

Like, for example, when you think of the Hadron collider, are you more excited by the fact that it allowed scientists to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, or its colling system that circulates 96 tonnes of superfluid Helium 4 to keep the superconductive magnets at operating temperature?

To me (an engineer), the former sounds dry and stuffy, and of little consequence to any system I could build or maintain. The latter sounds like an awesome challenge that I would be excited to see the solution to.

In simpler terms, natural sciences are about finding out how the universe works; engineering is knowing how the universe works, and using that knowledge to solve mankind's problems.

Pick whichever sounds more interesting to you.

Not him, but academic terms are basically random anyway. At Oxford and Cambridge, your degree is a BA regardless of the subject, and some of their master's degrees have "Bachelor" in the title.
