What is Physics engineering: Definition and 12 Discussions

Engineering physics, or engineering science, refers to the study of the combined disciplines of physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, particularly computer, nuclear, electrical, electronic, aerospace, materials or mechanical engineering. By focusing on the scientific method as a rigorous basis, it seeks ways to apply, design, and develop new solutions in engineering.

    Programs Physics engineering Or Applied Physics? ....theoretical?

    Hey there. I am going to stay the University next year and I want to know what do you think about the three options I have actually. I really like science, and I like to know about the process of the nature, how it is defined by math and by the physical processes. It is my passion I, in the...

    Admissions Physics vs Engineering PhD Admissions?

    I was on the grad cafe looking at admission statistics. It looks like it is much more competitive to get into an engineering PhD program than it is a physics PhD program. Is this true? Most of the GPA's of people who got into the engineering PhD programs had a gpa in the mid to high 3's while...

    Engineering Physics undergaduate useful for engineering masters/Ph.D?

    Hey everybody. I had a short talk with Miguel San Martin a few years ago, he is one of the top aerospace engineers at NASA's JPL. He said he would study math/physics as undergaduate rather than engineering if he could go back in time. Not that he wanted to switch careers, but because those...

    Schools Funding a Physics Engineering Club at my college.

    I am attempting to found a Physics Engineering club at my school (Appalachian State University) and we have come to the sticky issue of funding. We would like to keep dues as low as possible, but with the expected cost of workspace, projects, and start-up costs of tools, we are going to need a...

    MS Physics Engineering or straight to PhD?

    Hello, I didn't see a place to post introductions, so I suppose I'll jump right in. I'm currently going back to school after a six year stint in the finance industry (protip: not a fun or fulfilling field). The way that Colorado's Department of Higher Education has the university system...

    To choose between physics engineering and electrical engineering

    Hello everyone! My problem is easy to explain but somewhat hard. I have to make an ultimate final decision between Physics Engineering and Electrical Engineering:confused: . I tend to be more physics inclined, but I am not sure. I know that ultimately is a conclusion that I by myself must be...

    Physics Engineering: Job Diff vs Engineer

    "Physics Engineering" If I get my BSc and some associated higher degree and go into the industry where I'm put into some R&D program, how will my job differ from that of an engineer? I understand that a physicist isn't ceritified like an engineer, but by how much would that limit me?
