Engineering Science Program at NUS: Job Opportunities & Differences

AI Thread Summary
The National University of Singapore has introduced an Engineering Science Program, marking its emergence as a new educational offering in the ASEAN region. Engineering Science differs from traditional engineering courses by focusing more on the underlying scientific principles rather than design and application. This program emphasizes a strong foundation in science, potentially leading graduates towards research-oriented careers. The job opportunities for Engineering Science graduates may be more aligned with research roles in academia or industry, as opposed to conventional engineering positions that often prioritize design and practical application. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on career pathways for graduates of this innovative program.

Recently the National University of Singapore has offered Engineering Science Program as one of the courses.

Engineering Science is considered a new course in ASEAN region, and not many people know about it.

May I know what is the difference between Engineering Science and conventional engineering courses, and what are the job opportunities for Engineering Science graduate?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
for me at UCSD Eng Sci is is less about design and more about the necessary science.
 
So how is their career opportunities different from engineering? Is it more incline towards research field?
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

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...
