HELP Kinetmatics or Optical Measurement?

[RagingBull12]

I'm currently working towards a masters in mechanical engineering, however I plan to focus in physics once this is complete.

Which Mechanical Eng class would be most relevant towards a future in physics?

- Kinematics and Mechanisms
- Traditional Kinematics of mechanisms, joints, linkages, etc

- Optical Measurement & Qlty Measurment
- Optics
- Laser interferometry
- Digital Holography
- Digital Shearography
- Laser Triangulation
- 3D Computer Vision
- Moire Technique

I'm really needing a reply from someone. I need to make a decision today.

Thanks,

I think "Optical Measurement" would be more relevant to graduate work in physics.

Anyone else around here that could comment on this topic?

I agree on optical measurement. I don't see much physics research being done on what has been described in the kinematics section of your post. Optics on the other hand... that's the bees knees ;)
