Engineering Interested in Physics, Chemistry and Engineering, what do I do now?

AI Thread Summary
A strong interest in physics, chemistry, and engineering can lead to a fulfilling career that integrates these fields. Engineering inherently combines aspects of all three disciplines, depending on the specific industry. Material Science and Engineering is highlighted as an ideal path, as it effectively merges these subjects. Additionally, turbulent combustion is mentioned as a relevant area of study, incorporating fluid mechanics, chemical kinetics, and thermodynamics, showcasing practical applications of the combined knowledge in these fields.

I have big interests in physics, chemistry and engineering as a whole and I hope that one day I can mesh these subjects together. Is there any job out there that can apply all of these subjects together into one career?

engineering would apply all of those fields to their work depending on what kind of company you worked for. chemistry I don't know so much as far as that goes. but physics and engineering go hand in hand.
 
Why don't you try Material Science and Engineering. Perfect blend of all worlds

What about turbulent combustion? - You have a lot of fluid mechanics, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics and an obvious application.
 
I second the suggestion of materials science/engineering.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
