AI Thread Summary
Switching to an engineering college, particularly electrical engineering, raises concerns about job competition and career opportunities. There is a perception that physics majors primarily pursue teaching roles, but the discussion suggests a broader range of possibilities, especially within engineering contexts. The term "physics engineering" is introduced, indicating a focus on applying physics principles in engineering rather than traditional liberal arts paths. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for more awareness of diverse career options available to engineering and physics graduates. Exploring these fields may reveal promising job opportunities beyond initial assumptions.

i'm thinking about switching into the an engineering college, but I'm not sure what kind of jobs you can get with this. right now I'm an undeclared major and i want to switch into electrical engineering, but I'm afraid there will be too much job competition and i won't be able to find work, or i want to go into physics engineering, but i don't know what jobs i can get with this. can anyone tell me if I'm being overly cautious about job opportunity in electrical engineering or what kind of jobs physics majors get?

I'm what you might call a "sanitation engineer." A plain old G.E.D. ought to get you going on that career path, should you wish to follow in my footsteps. :rolleyes:

I always presumed a physics major was headed toward a teaching career, but maybe that is too narrow of a view. You use the term "physics engineering," and I admit I have never heard of that before.

yea, i always figured physics majors just taught physics or something. what i meant by physics engineering is a physics major in the college of engineering, rather than a physics major in the college of liberal arts and sciences.
 
I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
