Engineering Physics and the environment.

In summary, the question is whether a graduate in Engineering Physics would be capable of designing ecological solutions for the industry. The individual expressing concern about potential lack of skills due to the limited depth of Physics and engineering subjects. However, they are not interested in studying environmental engineering and may consider studying mechanical-electric engineering instead. It is mentioned that marketing and selling products to business and political figures is a major factor in clean energy technologies, and that the technology itself is mostly related to mechanical engineering, excluding photovoltaics. The individual acknowledges their limited experience in this field and notes that results may vary. Ultimately, they are asking if the skills acquired during an Engineering Physics degree are sufficient for designing eco-friendly solutions.

A pretty short question:
How capable of designing ecological soultions for the industry would i be if i graduated in Engineering Physics?

I feel that because of the depth of the few Physics and engineering subjects it has, I might lack skills when designing engines and systems which are innovating and sustainable.

(I DO NOT want to study ambiental engineering, but i might study mechanic-electric engineering)

from what I've been told, the limiting factor of clean energy technologies is marketing and how you sell your product to business and political oligarchs, not really the technology; the technology is mostly mechanical engineering from what I know, excluding photovoltaics.

i have little experience in this field so your mileage may vary.

Thanks, but rather, i was asking if the skill acquired during Eng. Physics are enough to design such ecofriendly solutions.
