Engineering B.Eng in Engineering Physics advice

AI Thread Summary
A B.Eng in Engineering Physics is viewed positively, with discussions highlighting its relevance in the job market. Graduates often pursue careers in various engineering fields, though some suggest that a Mechanical Engineering degree may offer broader job opportunities. Recommendations include obtaining a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering followed by a master's in Engineering Physics, particularly from reputable institutions like Colorado School of Mines or Embry-Riddle. There is caution against pursuing a bachelor's in Engineering Physics followed by a master's in Mechanical Engineering, as the latter is considered more comprehensive and marketable. Ultimately, success in any degree path depends on individual passion and effort, with a consensus that hard work can lead to success regardless of the specific degree.

Hey everyone,

B.Eng in Enginering Physics sounds like a really good degree when searching on internet.
What do you guys think ? Do you know anyone ?
Where do then end up in career or jobs ?
What can I one opt for masters in ?


Thanks !

Get bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.

Get masters in Engineering Physics.

Colorado school of Mines and Embry Riddle have solid Engineering Physics Master's programs.
 
@KidWonder

Well I will be getting the degree from Germany.

Can it be vice versa ( How about bachelors in Engineering Physics) and Master in Mechanical Engineering ?
 
I wouldn't recommend doing it vice versa, simply because Mechanical Engineering is a broad study and you shouldn't have a problem finding a job if a problem occurs where you are not able to obtain your Masters.

Get bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, where you will learn the basic fundamentals of physics, machinery, thermodynamics, fluidynamics, and etc.

Engineering Physics is basically applied Physics. I think companies would rather higher pure physicist or pure engineers rather than an EP.

If you really love Physics and Engineering just get a bachelors in Physics and get Masters in Engineering.

Not to say employers will be scoffing at you because you have an EP degree, I just don't think it's safe.

But whatever floats your boat. If you really like EP, than go ahead and study it! You can be very successful with any degree. Just work hard.

Good luck!
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
