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 '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...

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...
