AI Thread Summary
When considering engineering fields with strong worldwide demand, Civil Engineering emerges as a top choice due to its essential role in infrastructure development, particularly in underserved regions. The discussion emphasizes that while specialization can enhance marketability—such as focusing on fluid flow in aerospace engineering—Civil Engineering remains universally relevant, as communities globally require fundamental infrastructure like bridges, roads, and sewage systems. The consensus highlights that the ability to market oneself effectively is crucial, regardless of the specific engineering discipline chosen.

I'm going to be applying for school in the next couple of years and I want to study engineering. However, I may want to move around throughout my life and I was wondering which engineering(s) have the best worldwide demand? Don't be alarmed, I won't study anything I dislike just because of the demand, but it is a factor in my decision. Also, I am curious as to what kind of engineers are in high demand in certain countries, so any information you can throw at me is greatly appreciated. :smile:

As my physics prof always says, an engineer's an engineer. It all depends on how you sell yourself. If I specialize in fluid flow with my aerospace degree, I'd probably be more marketable than the mechanical engineer that specialized in robotics. But really, I think the best answer I can give you (and I hate myself for it) is Civil Engineering. Even poor as dirt African communities need bridges and roads and sewers.

That was my thought, too - good old CE. Infrastructure is destiny!
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
