Engineering Physics or Engineering or that applied stuff?

Recommended by whom? It's a personal choice that comes down to different things for different people. Loosely, engineers build things and are a form of applied physicists - but then there are also physicists that may not consider themselves to be engineers that are involved in building and designing detectors etc.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer for a description of an engineer, and see ZapperZ's magnificent 'so you want to be a physicist' thread for information on physicists.

As you're no doubt aware, physics is a huge subject spanning many fields. There are many things one can do with physics, and I'm finding it difficult to answer your question without just saying 'no'. For a quick look at fields in physics, see http://physics.about.com/od/physics101thebasics/f/FieldsPhysics.htm.

I don't want to disappoint but unfortunately such things do not really exist anymore! Quantum physics is an old theory and has been well investigated - that is not to say that quantum physics is not used, only that it's applications and usefulness have been determined. Many physicists use quantum physics to explain/investigate phenomena in their fields including things like particle physics/semiconductor physics/solid state.. the list goes on.

 

You may want to consider double majoring, since a bs in physics and most engineering degrees share alot of core classes.
