Yes I totally agree with you about the engineer position example. So I will try to get an eng degree if I can, but I would just be glad if I can do it without being an eng student. And I also agree with what you said in the second part, and I guess the job that is more difficult for physicist...

Actually I am not sure about what different engineers really do in their job, I am just guessing that they usually design or invent new things and technology and this is what I want to do, so I guess I am using the more usual definition in this context...

Yes I agree it should depend on the type of job, and since I don't really know what kind of job engineers usually do, I know my question is kinda hard to be answer...

Hello, does anyone have anything to share on whether student graduated with a bachelor of science degree can be in engineers' position or do jobs that are similar to theirs? For example inventing things, applying theory to create something that are useful in life. And is this rare? I have read...

Yes I guess this is how the world works now... Although this is kind of depressing but I guess inventing things itself has a lot of pleasure in it, and people usually won't remember the inventor's name anyway because there is usually so many of them :P

Yes I agree with you... In my memory many inventions are made by physicist but maybe that's the impression I get from my science courses, the things mentioned in them are usually made from classic theories from decades ago...

I am having my question in this post because as I recall many "inventions" are made by physicists... But I think you maybe right although I know nothing about them either, because I think sometimes it would be very easy to "invent" something if a brand new theory is discovered.

I have heard of the research part in engineering before but I am not sure what they really does, I think now I got a better understanding of their job! :) Thanks for letting me know~

Thanks for your detailed reply! :) I do believe this is everyone's dream since it has so many good things associated with it. I changed the content of my post after I wrote the title so I know it is kinda off topic...:P From what you have said, I know more about these 3 job's difference now...

Thanks for answering my question! The US Patent Office website is a good place to look at! Thanks for letting me know!

Hello I am new to the Physics Forum and recently I am thinking of choosing an engineering major, but I am having some question about the jobs of engineers. My dream is to use the rules and laws of physics to invent and create things that are useful in life (I know it is not easy to really...
