Learning electical engineering combined with physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the decision to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) combined with Physics at Technion. Participants highlight that an EE degree provides a strong mathematical foundation and sufficient overlap with Physics, making it easier to transition between the two fields. The consensus suggests that while both degrees are valuable, opting for EE is advisable for those leaning towards industry jobs, as it offers better job prospects without significantly increasing academic difficulty.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electrical Engineering principles
  • Basic knowledge of Physics concepts
  • Familiarity with university-level mathematics
  • Awareness of career paths in engineering and research
NEXT STEPS
  • Research career opportunities for Electrical Engineers with a Physics background
  • Explore Technion's curriculum for Electrical Engineering and Physics programs
  • Investigate industry demands for combined EE and Physics skill sets
  • Learn about research roles available to graduates in both fields
USEFUL FOR

Prospective university students, career advisors, and individuals considering a dual focus in Electrical Engineering and Physics, particularly those interested in industry versus research careers.

i am considering learning in the university(technion) for something related to science, i am trying to decide between electrical engineering and materials engineering. also in the field of electrical engineering i saw that there is several routes on the subject in the university i want to learn, one of them is electrical engineering and physics(a degree in both subjects).
i am interested in learning physics but since the studying in that university is already hard(from what i heard) i want to know more about electrical engineering combined with physics, especialy what kind of jobs can the additional physics degree open for me and if it can leads to a job in research.
i don't want to make it harder for me if it won't pay off in terms of jobs.

EE is close enough to physics anyway that you can shift in the future (it offers sufficient mathematical background). I would advise you to just go for the EE degree if you are on the fence between an industry job and a research career.
