Engineering Engineering Physics and the environment.

AI Thread Summary
Graduating in Engineering Physics provides a strong foundation in physics and engineering principles, but may lack specific skills in designing innovative and sustainable systems. The discussion highlights concerns about the depth of knowledge in mechanical and electrical engineering necessary for ecological solutions. It emphasizes that while technology is crucial, effective marketing and business strategies are often the limiting factors in clean energy adoption. The individual expresses a preference for not pursuing environmental engineering but is considering mechanical-electrical engineering instead. Ultimately, the skills gained from Engineering Physics can be beneficial, but additional expertise may be needed for effective ecological design.

A pretty short question:
How capable of designing ecological soultions for the industry would i be if i graduated in Engineering Physics?

I feel that because of the depth of the few Physics and engineering subjects it has, I might lack skills when designing engines and systems which are innovating and sustainable.

(I DO NOT want to study ambiental engineering, but i might study mechanic-electric engineering)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
from what I've been told, the limiting factor of clean energy technologies is marketing and how you sell your product to business and political oligarchs, not really the technology; the technology is mostly mechanical engineering from what I know, excluding photovoltaics.

i have little experience in this field so your mileage may vary.
 
Thanks, but rather, i was asking if the skill acquired during Eng. Physics are enough to design such ecofriendly solutions.
 
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...
