If you're an ambitious engineering student and you're wondering what to work on to advance your career, you're asking the wrong question. Work on whatever you're most excited about; if you're ambitious, your excitement will outweigh the hotness of the field you choose.

This is a somewhat self-correcting answer, because ambitious engineering students naturally tend to be attracted to promising fields. In fact, it's hard to imagine a better way to predict which fields are promising.
