Physics Bsc Eng physics, Msc Mech eng, PhD Mech eng.

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a BSc in Engineering Physics followed by an MSc and PhD in Mechanical Engineering can be challenging, particularly in the US due to accreditation issues. Individuals with a physics background may face difficulties gaining admission to graduate engineering programs, often needing to complete additional undergraduate courses. The feasibility of this path varies by institution and country, with some programs being more accommodating than others. Advantages include a strong foundational knowledge in physics, while disadvantages involve potential hurdles in transitioning to engineering disciplines. Overall, careful research into specific programs and their requirements is essential for success.
