AI Thread Summary
Engineering degrees typically require a combination of online classes and in-person components, such as seminars and hands-on educational events. While some distance learning programs exist, they often include residential schools for practical experiences, which are essential for fields like engineering and physics. These in-person sessions allow students to engage in experiments and field trips, enhancing the learning experience. Purely online engineering degrees are rare and may not provide the comprehensive education needed for the discipline.

Can I have a engineering graduation without leaving my house? How it works?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No, likely not. Generally there would be classes online, but you'd be expected to attend seminars, "class" educational "events", possibly even a final, things like that. And I'm not sure how many undergraduate distance learning programs there are; though I guess I suspect there are a few.

You really should do a distance learning course with some residential schools, where you get to do experiments/ field trips. Its only proper for a course like Physics or Engineering. Maths, you could do at home, no problem. I did my Physics degree by distance and I regularly went to residential schools for experiments. It wouldn't haven't been a good programme to do otherwise.
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
