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?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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.
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
