Luca Agostini we don't have quantum mechanics courses. just some basics in the solid state courses and that's it. you will never hear about schrodinger's cat in an engineering course we have other stuff to worry about

cool

Luca Agostini REALLY? That is pretty cool! I’m currently thinking about double majoring in physics and electrical engineering and my decision was mainly because I wanted to understand quantum physics for the future of electronics.

@@alexanderquilty5705 we need more girls in STEM

I am also confused between Electrical Engineering and Physics Major. I like the weird concepts of quantum mechanics like quantum entanglement one and also some sort of theory of relativity but I am still confused between these two. Can anybody help?

Nathan Savoy Hi Nathan, which did you choose?

Steve Huguenin witch did you choose???

Just quarious...

Be Tony Stark. Double major. Physics and Electrical Engineering

Yui

Hey same here! How's it going? Are you planning to go for Academia?

@@userpablo3037 I am still in both of the majors,but I am leaning more toward EE,I want to do PhD in EE or something that combines both ,but I definitely I want to stay in academic

@@gouledawad2377 learn engineering physics

@@YoungEli9 hey I’m about to start electrical engineering, tell me, how hard is it on a scale of 1-10?

@@elizermukendi449 it’s really not that hard when u take the time to apply the concepts, on average its a 8, just be dedicated to learn more

Double major in both

@@anthonystark7740 i mean if you hate yourself lol

@@lexrogan2207 lol

Does it work if we take electrical engineering 1st?

Wyatt Bettis a MBA degree and a PE license also sound like a really good idea.

Lol I'm sure a lot of us watching are 😄

@@RohitKumar-gg5yx Sorry for the late reply lol. Yes. There's a wide variety of things you can do within Electrical Engineering and if you like Engineering in general, there's definitely something you'll find enjoyable.

Thank you!

Seriously?

John BDD Thats more statistical physics tho. They hardly ever pull up the schrodinger equation or hamiltonian.

False. It is pulled up whenever necessary

(hardly ever)

I remember schrondinger came up in differential equations class.

Only one quantum - introduction to QM

My kids lol

Bro which colledge u applied for astrophysics after 12?

Man same goes for me, i like inventing gadgets at the same time would love to study quantum mechanics. Which course did you choose though?

Study engineering physics

@@YoungEli9 hey Bruh I was thinking about engineering physics Nd applied physics which one would u consider?

@@espnmob5163 I'd recommend applied physics first, then engineering physics :)

foreverseethe maths isnt hard once you actually put fourth the effort to understand it

@@Raime-tn1to I don't think it's effort. It's confidence. Most people get stuck in math because they truly believe they cannot do it.

Haha everything you just said was exactly what my school was like as well. I didn't include modern physics cause not all EE's take that and just like you said the ONLY time we ever saw those concepts come up again was like one time when learning about how diodes work and it wasn't even that beneficial. And we learned vector analysis concepts in calculus as well as the beginning of electromagnetic waves, but (at least from what I saw) physics majors took a more intensive class on it.

Thanks Steve! I'm really glad these are helping out. And we just made a patreon account www.patreon.com/majorprep. If you want donate we really appreciate it, otherwise thanks for the positive feedback!

Surely, by next month. ;-)

It made me cry who a physics student 😭

I agree! I would only study physics for Quantum Mechanics.

how did you get to focus on electromagnetism? Like can i also go to electrical engineering but with focus on optics and emag?

Pardon me prick

Yes, otherwise also called applied physics.

Thanks for the comment! Really glad they help and hope they get you into the right degree :). I have another video on physics vs engineering coming in a few weeks too so keep an eye out.

can't wait! :D thank u

​@@lucyrowden51any updates?

@@trollinape2697hi, yes I do! I completed a MEng Electrical and Electronic engineering degree with a year long placement, and after graduating I found it very easy to get a job. Companies are desperate for electronic engineers and will offer a lot of benefits & flexibility. Knowing people that did physics, I definitely had an easier time getting a job. As for the degree itself, it was very tough but I got through it knowing that being an engineer in the workforce is actually quite a low stress job. And I can attest to that now.

@@lucyrowden51 Icl, Im in year 12 and Im still unsure on what to do. Physics is probably the subject I prefer the most out of the ones I do but Im unsure on how hard it'd be to get a job. Idk if internships and uni clubs would be good enough to land me an engineering job incase I end up not going in academia. Another one would be computer science which have good job. Which I could do both at the same time, but thatd be impossible. No point in doing a joint degree as Id just be a jack of all trades kind of guy

What?😭😭😭😭😎😎😎😀😀😂😂😂😂

Same bro. I want to become a Physicist but the Salary just doesn't convince me to be honest.

Yeah

elymonteil Computer science is a even more demanding major.

elymonteil yeah I haven't taken any upper division physics courses, but I was majored in CS and I didn't like it at all. So I changed to engineering.

+ elymonteil, calm down, buddy. Which is "more demanding" depends on the individual (whether continuous math or discrete math comes more naturally to him/her), as well as the university's curriculums for the two majors.

SupahNova electrical and electronic engineering covers quantum mechanics when understanding the function of semi conductors using subatomic particles

looms blacks you're not smart enough to spell, go back to school. lol!

guess* now, go back to school

looms blacks Damn, you're not fit to be an engineer either.

Olivia Clayton we didn't even cover 40% of the quantum mechanics course in solid state material.

Pick up ee

exactly my thoughts lol

Bro , can you please give more information about how to complete EE bachelor with physics one

You should if u can prove what u know, highly suggest to learn engineering physics

Are you applying for grad school and what does the workload look like in those programs?

Hey man, did you get a job? :)

That is interesting, definitely not the case here

In the KTH not for sure

He already made a video about it. Just look it up on his channel

Yeah just like UCLA. We had to do the quarter system instead of the semester and each quarter was 11 weeks long and I was pushed to borderline insanity.

@@liamdavis2068 o did u complete yours? I’m not sure how useful physics was lol… ended up doing software development as a job anyway

@@pugboi8017 No I dropped out of UCLA cuz I hated the Physics major cuz fuck that shit. The professors suck and the students are fucking competitive and arrogant. I have autism and didn’t have many fucking friends. I just couldn’t take it anymore. Now I’m just going to CSUN.

Sina Rezvani Yes this is possible.

That's a very interesting double degree as I have never heard of that being offered. The thing about dual degrees is that they usually aren't a HUGE game changer when it comes to applying for jobs. It's the bachelor's and then master's combo that is more desirable for employers. But it's totally up to you to decide whether you can handle it and if it's worth it for you.

Does that mean that I could take a BS degree in EE than take a Masters in Physics?

@@mezzoedbey3802 yes

If you want to do space stuff then like I said in this video, you should start working at a company that puts things in space. You won't be doing space related research or anything like that, but you'll have a foot in the door when it comes to the sector. Then when it comes to your career you'll have to try to work your way up to certain positions you enjoy OR go back and get a master's in physics. A lot of companies that work on rockets/satellites will help pay for your master's degree. Your options will constantly be changing though. For example right now Northrop Grumman is working on the James Webb Telescope. This will be a telescope around 200 times more powerful than the hubble I believe. They are going to launch this into space in a few years so it can look back at light nearly from the big bang. The guy leading this project has a degree in electrical engineering. I bet when he was in college, he was not expecting that to be something he would be working on. But even he said that your career path will probably be different than you expect. However, the people who are doing the space research for this project, the one's who are deciding where in space the telescope should point to obtain the information they want are most likely physicists/astrophysicists/cosmologists/etc. This telescope will be very hard to turn which is why they are trying to determine the best locations in space to look at before actually looking there. That sounds more like what you'd be interested in. So I can't tell you where your career could go, because it's totally open and technology is constantly changing. This is just one specific example so don't expect just to find a job doing something like it in the near future. But I thought it was a cool project you may find interesting.

Same here! I am very interested in space and future things. Like I want to learn more than just Earth. I want to discover more things beyond space!

I am in 2nd year, electrical and electronics engineering, and at the same time, very interested in astronomy. I love my branch, and would like to proceed in it. At the same time, I'm part of a student chapter called SEDS India and dream about being involved in astronomical research. Can you provide some advice, sir? Thanking you in anticipation.

Yes you do learn how electronic components like a diode and transistor work. You learn about how the electrons within the silicon are arranged and what happens to them in the event of a voltage potential. It's mostly chemistry BUT I personally only did that for about 3 weeks in one class out of my entire college career. You can do this in much more detail if you want to get a career in designing better electronic components (rather than using them to make circuits). However, I did not take an electives that went into more detail on the topic.

MajorPrep thanks

Then it’ll be really fucking hard and you’ll get no fucking sleep

He only discussed the core courses.Physics also have electives like classical electrodynamics atomic physics mathematical physics(complex analysis real analysis statistics and probability vector spaces matrix algebra integral transform infinite series complex variables etc) fluid dynamics condensed matter geometrical optics computational physics.Also it has many electives from ee like digital electronics analoge electronics microprocessor quantum electronics communication electronics and others.You can search it up in google bsc physics university of nairobi (kenya)
