AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a Physics Degree with an Engineering Physics option is seen as a viable pathway for those interested in aerospace engineering, especially when the current engineering program is not accredited. The discussion emphasizes the importance of seeking accredited programs to enhance future educational opportunities. Internships are crucial for gaining practical experience; it's recommended to start looking for them early in the undergraduate program, ideally during the second year. Engaging in relevant internships will strengthen applications for graduate programs in aerospace or mechanical engineering. Overall, the Engineering Physics route is considered a strategic choice for those aiming for advanced studies in aerospace engineering.

I am contemplating of going for a Physics Degree with the Engineering Physics option. I think it's a good option to possible pursue a graduate degree in aerospace engineering. I am not sure though. Would someone please give me their opinion on the matter of exactly if engineering physics is the right option. If I do go through with this program what exactly should I be looking for as in internships and when should I begin to pursue them?

Why not pursue your undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering if that is what you are presumably interested in?
 
well the college I am at right now, their engineering program is not accredited, but the Physics-Engineering Physics option is. I am then considering a masters program in aerospace engineering or mechanical after i finish my new undergrad.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
