can you elaborate what your role is? Im in mechanical engineering but I dont like it and im thinking of switching over to EP. Especially because my school focuses on the Space Systems and I want to go into the space industry

Wow 😳 🥺

@NIHAREEKA K really whichever one you’re truly interested in. They all can be applicable. I actually switched out of engineering because I realized the input (effort) for the output (entering the space industry) isn’t really worth it.

@NIHAREEKA K I switched to aircraft maintenance science with a concentration in avionic systems. What I would do if I were you is work backwards. Find out what you want to do specifically in the industry, or a variety of things, contact the people who do that thing, and find out what degree they got. And then copy that.

I've been studying Eng Phys for one year and didnt know my role until now too

How did u find it? As in any pros/cons?

That's a great idea of a machine for fun.

can you give an update? is it ok to not be professional in one major but to know moderate in all? would you recomend this for a person who might want to continue until phd to discover some big scientific stuff? (like making efficient fusion reactors to solve energy problem)

It's physics man ...that's why i love it ..it's the base

how is it going now?

@@akmolali6192 I'm so sorry for the late response. Well, eventually I got into pure physics instead of engineering physics, it just so happened that the university I was aiming for wasn't offering this program. As for how is my major going, it's tough, the subject matter is complicated, it takes a lot of time to study and prepare, however, I'm extremely happy with my decision, you know what they say, nothing worth having ever comes easy! Cheers

@@edenvasev1749 All the best! Keep going!

@@edenvasev1749update?

Right now I’m in a pre engineering course and I’m in your position of wanting to major in engineering physics, I feel this is the right degree for me because I’m be working on the difficult aspects of things.

Onde você estuda? Estou pensando em cursar engenharia fisica na Unicamp...

@@mariana_frro Na Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). Vim pra cá pq é a melhor do país em Eng Física, pois ela é a pioneira que trouxe o curso pro Brasil. Então se puder vir pra cá, recomendo muito. Estou no meu segundo ano, curso bem desafiador, ainda mais pq ficou EAD. Mas não me arrependo nem um pouco, está suprindo todas as minhas expectativas. Estou torcendo pra voltar presencial logo.

@@dantel8995 Well, it really depends on your goals. If you want to work in the heavy theory field, it will be better if you study Physics. But, if you're not so sure whether you want pure theory or a field more similar to applied physics, Engineering Physics is really worth it. Because at EnPhy, you can choose to go down the path of applied physics and some kind of engineering area like nuclear, materials, quantum technology and that kind of thing, or a PhD in theoretical physics. However, a Physics course does not have as many options as engineering.

@@dantel8995 Yes for sure. I indeed did end up studying engineering physics and I'm finishing my second year this spring. There's been a lot of basic math courses that all of engineens take as well as some advanced courses that are usually studied by math/physics majors. And of course courses in most areas in physics (mechanics, thermo/statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics). At least in Finland if you continue to do a major in eng phys you still kind of specialize in some field of physics (we have a matter/quantum major and an energy major). As I see it and have understood, eng phys gives a very solid base to pursue phd in various consepts that you are interested in. I have liked it a lot so far and my bachelors degree will be engineering physics but I'm thinking about switching to some other (maybe a bit more practical) masters programme as I'm not really interested in doing research. Hope this answers some questions you might have had!

@@makekj502 thank you. I really wanted to take eng physics but the university here only have electrical engineering as closest to my interests. I have the option to change university after 2 year of general engineering which we learn first. Do you think there is that much differense between EP and Electrical E. first two years? is EP that much different? (I will study phd if it changes anything in my case)

@@dantel8995 There can be big differences between countries/univerities. To my experience the first year is pretty much identical but in the second year majority of the courses are already different. We have studied more general physics where electrical engineers have dived deeper into circuits and such. I would think that after 2 years pretty much all the doors are still open and everything you learn is still so "basic" knowledge that you really can't go very wrong. If your aim is to do some "big scientific" stuff, eng phys would definitely fit that better in my opinion. And mind that these are just my opinions and observations and should not be taken as a fact :D

@@makekj502 thanks

good luck

eng phys is a B.S.E. vs "just" the B.S. as i understand it.

eng physics isn't theory, maybe it is but it is applicable, become an entrepreneur.

I study engineering physics 6th-year student, and I wish I study CS or software engineering because it will be very hard to get a job with eng Phys in Canada (not sure in US) despite the super hard work. The reason is the eng phys related job such as nuclear sector, energy engineering etc, radiology is limited compared to software engineering or other disciplines. You could get those jobs but you will need to be expert in those areas and experience, e,g. get master or phd in those specific area or doing many coops to the specific field. I explored so many fields from electronics (circuit design, microelectronics), software (programming, image processing, Machine learning, deep learning), up to advanced applied or theoretical physics (nanotechnology, semiconductor devices, quantum computing) but I am never be any of a specialist especially software engineering, which has so many jobs in the current market though competitive. I needed to complete my degree 170 credits in my school and it is unusually more credits than other majors and requires so much effort to graduate, and it will take 7 years to graduate. Although I enjoyed learning Quantum mech, stats mech, semiconductor physics etc but I wish I study CS straight 4 years 120 credits program and do some coops to get a decent full time job to secure the stability of life. staying in school for many years, I am losing passion in academia and feel like just want to graduate and it is very stressful to be stuck in school but this depends on country and school though.

@@jamestanaka686 Oh man thanks for that info, i mean i really like what i have been learning, i already finished first year but im afraid of what you are sayin so I will change to software engineering if i can I guess. Or havent you thought about a master, can u help me with this question? For example can i get a master in economics or electrical engineering and do it well? Or i will still be in a lower position than someone with an economics or EE degree without even master's?

@@rkv3731 Regarding whether if you can go to master in economics or electrical engineering (EE) or not, it depends on the background and coursework you took in the undergrad, so it is better to check with the advisor if you can admission to economics or EE. However, I don't think a lot of people master EE from CS or SE (software engineering), because I feel like what you learned in SE is really to make you software engineer but master in EE seems like career change into an electrical engineer pathway (though there is engineering field like FPGA, embedded software dev, firmware engineer etc.). However, master in economics after SE degree seems like you want to pursue in economics/finance sector but I don't think I can say anything as I am not expert in those areas like linkage between those different fields. Secondly, getting a master would help in some jobs; for example, data science, machine learning, AI related jobs usually prefer higher level of education but for software developer or firmware engineer, or even Electrical engineer jobs are enough with bachelor but having master doesn't hurt. I would suggest to stay in bachelor degree what you enjoy learning + predicting what type of jobs you will want to work. For example, if you like programming and building software application and also plan to master in machine learning, deep learning, big data, then getting master with a specific specialization is a good idea. Also, the program depends on school by school. My eng Phys degree requires huge work like 170 credits + mandatory thesis, so if your school requires 120 credits, it might not be a bad idea in eng Phys, so if you love physics, I would say why not stay in eng phys. Advanatge of eng Phys is I think you get strong in Math, but if you plan to software engineer, then major in CS or SE is more efficient. It might be good idea to talk to advisors and your CS/SE/EE friends or eng Phys friends to seek more info. When I was 1st year, I lack so much info (e.g. job market, type of jobs and required skill sets) so I end up staying school for 6+ years and lost interest in physics. Finally, please don't take my words (it is a subjective opinion), I think it is better to research things on your own to determine your career : )

@@jamestanaka686shit Man I need 165 credits lol thats a lot. What do you think about staying in Eng Phy (no software eng) and get a master in EE. Im considering that option or would i still be in a lower position than an electrical engineer?.

Basically, yes: Eng Phys is similar to Physics but with more focus on application. Basically, physics at a high level (i.e., grad school) is broken up into theoretical (determine models of how the universe works to explain what we see and predict what we might see from certain experiments done by experimentalists) and experimental (conduct experiments to determine what we do see, validating or invalidating existing models for how the universe works that the theorists came up with). Physics has a focus on understanding how the universe works. Engineering (including Engineering Physics) is about using knowledge from Physics to solve real world problems that matter to humans today. Sometimes these problems can be related to physics research; an experimentalist would often rely on engineers to actually solve the practical problems of how to create equipment to measure what they need to measure, make it talk to other equipment, and make sure everything works (and especially works safely). Engineers themselves would typically design all of this using fundamental understanding of physics while technicians would physically put the designs of an engineer together and help them modify it considering even more practical aspects. So, Engineers and Physicists both need to know why things work. Physicists use that knowledge to get everyone more knowledge, while Engineers use that knowledge to get everyone more stuff; i.e., design things (or do other high-level related tasks, e.g., confirm that designs were implemented correctly or are still working). In Canada in particular, undergrad Engineering programs are accredited by the CEAB, which guarantees that you have a certain standard of knowledge in all aspects relevant to any field of engineering which is required for you to be a professional engineer. A physics student would not be required to take chemistry, materials science, or statics, for example, but an engineering physics student would. At the end of an engineering program (e.g., Engineering Physics), you would be immediately academically qualified to become a professional engineer, needing only 4 years of work experience apprenticeship and to pass a professional practice exam before getting the license. Physics grads would not be academically qualified for this, and would need to do extra studying and take difficult technical exams, or only seek a limited engineering license that restricts what areas they're allowed to practice in. However, students from either discipline can (and often do) enter grad school in the other discipline, so both seem well set-up for research careers (even in areas outside physics or eng phys). Engineering undergrads are busier, typically having about 20% more course load (i.e., units, time, courses, etc.) per semester than a Physics undergrad, and Engineering programs often charge more tuition even per course, [nominally!] using this to deliver higher quality educational experiences involving more hands-on opportunities. If you want the flexibility to take less courses, want more flexibility to not have to take as interdisciplinary of an education, and don't care to have the option to easily be a professional engineer, then Physics may be for you. If instead you don't mind more courses and a guaranteed well-rounded practical side to your education, or want the option to possibly be a professional engineer in the future, then Engineer Physics is for you. Both are great for research, great for understanding how the world works, and great for building in problem solving and systems understanding skills applicable to any career.

From what I can tell they are almost the same curriculum, someone with applied physics is probably more likely to get a physics job if you both apply for the same one but only an engineer can work as an engineer. Other than that I don't see too many differences.

It's there as Engineering Physics at Stanford

@@jonathanzachariah3708 damn....no way I'm getting into that school lmao

Yeah I think so..

I'm in 11th grade now,and figuring out what to do as I go on.(took PCMB ) I'm good at math. Theoretical physics is what I would have aimed for but I'm not sure if it's worth it(inside India,and I don't want to go outside).so is there anything else,that I could study based on what I said above?

Me too

12th grader from India interested in physics here... See, if you choose the field of basic sciences in India, you'll get financial independence later than engineers. Like IIT graduates having engineering degrees get very good packages just after doing btech (4 yrs). But let's say you get into IISc, then you'll have to do BS, MS & PhD to get a good job as a researcher in good institutes, which will take about 10 years at average. Yes you'll get scholarships, but not good packages to support your family. So, if money is a serious issue, don't go for engineering physics. It'll be hard to get a job before doing a master's degree & a PhD.

@@anantverma3428 yup,figured it out lol. Going to a coaching centre for a repeat. Probably will go for maths in IIT.
