How Does an Engineering Student Tackle Physics Problems?

I am a student at Purdue University, trying to major in Nuclear Engineering. I do have an interest in physics itself, beyond simply my credit requirements, though right now the classes I'm taking are far removed from the more advanced physics behind nuclear reactions.

I generally am good enough at setting up physics problems, and figuring out the variables and steps needed to solve them. What trips me up is sometimes when possible steps seem to contradict each other, either due to overthinking, poor wording on problems, a careless mistake on my part, or sometimes just a simple misconception. My preferred way of learning physics (or anything else) is reading front to back through a textbook, rather than explanations to individual problems, so I'll mostly post here if something small is tripping me up

Welcome, @Adi_m01
We are glad to have you here.

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
