is having a master degree in professional engineer the newest way in becoming an engineer with a bahcelor degree in physics and which major is better these days in your own opinion and thanks

rhombusjr said:I'm not entirely sure what you are asking.
For being a "professional engineer" i.e. being an engineer as your profession, you do not need a masters in engineering for that, although it does help. With just a physics bachelor's you may have a hard time finding an engineering job, but it depends on what sort of jobs you're looking at.

elabed haidar said:i want to contiune my studies in australlia and I am sure my bahcelor degree in pure physics will allow me to become a professional engineer but my question is this which major is the best these days??
elabed haidar said:i in two years i will have a bachelor degree in physics in lebanon engineering isn't so good in lebanon so i want to contiune my studies in australlia and there is the sydney university which has the faculty of engineering which has this major of professional engineer so which major in professional engineer ( power ,elecrical ...) is best these days?

elabed haidar said:what about my friend he has finished his first year in physics and next year he has to choose between bachelor degree in pure physics or electronics physics he likes pure but he is afraid that pure physics may not be the key to become an engineer what are your thoughts??
elabed haidar said:i have no choice but to do engineering with a bachlor degree in physics but what about i said in my last post can you help me out ??
i have read in sydney university that a person with a bachlor degree in physics can become in three years a professional engineer so that is my goal i would like to hear your comments
elabed haidar said:thank you very much and i am sure i checked the website of the university
elabed haidar said:but here is the thing i did read the Curriculum and i figured out that my physics bachelor degree agrees with the australlian bachelor degree in physics so if i apply they would want to see my degree and they will see by themselves that they are almost the same and also the lebanese university i study is admitted in the whole world
A Master's in Professional Engineering (MPE) is a graduate degree program that combines advanced coursework in engineering with practical training and professional development. It is designed for individuals who hold a Bachelor's degree in Physics and wish to transition into an engineering career.
A traditional Master's in Engineering program typically requires students to have an undergraduate degree in engineering or a closely related field. In contrast, an MPE program is specifically designed for students with a Bachelor's degree in Physics, providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to enter the engineering field.
Some potential benefits of pursuing an MPE include enhanced career opportunities, increased earning potential, and the ability to bridge the gap between physics and engineering. Additionally, the program typically includes professional development and networking opportunities, which can help students build a strong professional network.
Courses in an MPE program may cover a variety of topics, including engineering fundamentals, advanced mathematics, computer-aided design, and project management. The specific courses will vary depending on the program and concentration, but they are all geared towards providing students with a strong foundation in engineering principles.
Most MPE programs require applicants to have a Bachelor's degree in Physics or a related field, as well as a strong background in mathematics and science. Some programs may also require students to have completed specific undergraduate courses in engineering or physics. It is important to check the prerequisites for each program you are interested in to ensure you meet the requirements.
