Computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, and materials engineering aren't going to go away any time soon because those continue to be burgeoning industries. Until something replaces electronics and computers and chemical processes and materials, we will need engineers to work on those. Many people will say that civil engineering isn't a hot career anymore. Same with aerospace. Both of those areas depend a lot on politics, as the main customer is often the government. If the politicians decide they want to build more bridges and war planes, those areas look hot. If they scale back, not so much. Best to look at what the salaries are like for those careers.

Some people predict a decline in the demand for mechanical engineers due to a decline in the American auto industry. I don't really know. I mean, mechanical engineers do a lot more than just cars. Like I said, anything with moving parts is a mechanical engineer's domain.

Be forewarned that the hotter the engineering career, the more math-intensive it is. Even computer science is very heavy on math, just a different kind of math (called discrete math) from calculus or vector analysis.

IMHO you have potential to be a useful career in medical instrumentation or prosthetics, and some very interesting work is being done (by engineers) in looking into ways that robotic prostheses can be operated directly from a persons nerves. Even simple things like replacement hip joints are continually being improved and I think the market for these replacements and prosthetics is growing apace.Even simple ideas like hearing aids are continually being improved and we are at the start of innovation in developing replacements for blind and profoundly deaf people.
A worthwhile career.
