Well I am currently working as a design engineer in the Hydro forming industry. I have been working on my degree in vehicle design right out of highschool. I am 21 now and will be finishing that degree next semester. I now have a better idea what path I want to take but am still a little confused on what all the different degrees are and which one to pick.

I am a very mechanical person, I know alot about the stuff however I really want to broaden my horizons I have been strongly considering the path to mechatronics. But to get there you have to start somewhere and that is where I am at right now. I am trying to decide between getting a bleachers in EE or CE. Could anyone please explain to me what the differences are as what I thought the two were does not seem to be accurate. I don't need or want to be a hardcore programmer however I would like to learn the basics primarily in logic controllers. Will this be taught in both degrees?

Please any help with this big decision would be appreciated.

Have you talked to your adviser in school? I am sure that there is someone at your school that knows you and could give you better advice. I would also recommend doing research and see what other schools offer too. Maybe what you want isn't offered at your school? There are a lot of websites out there of different schools like: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.purdueonlineengineering.com/[/url] or [URL unfurl="true"]http://see.stanford.edu/[/url]
 
Bleacher?

I assume CE is Computer Engineering? But, I'm confused, since you seem to be indicating that your background is mechanical, so why EE or CE? And why would you pick a discipline just for what would be at most a 1 yr class?
