Physics with concentration in Mech Engineering

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering is generally recommended for those aiming to become a Mechanical Engineer, as it provides more specialized coursework. A Physics degree with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering may offer a broader scientific perspective but could lack the depth needed for specific engineering roles. The choice ultimately depends on individual career goals and interests. Consider how each degree aligns with your aspirations in the engineering field. Making an informed decision is crucial for future job prospects.

I'm almost done with my AA and was planning on continuing with my path in Mechanical Engineering, BUT the school I am planning on going to also offers Physics with a concentration on Mechanical engineering (BS). Could anyone give me an insight on this? Thank you!

I don't know much about this degree, but if you want to be a Mechanical Engineer, you should get a degree in Mechanical Engineering, not a degree in Physics with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering. Sounds like such a degree would have less beefy courses on the ME side, and put you at a disadvantage when applying for a ME job against others who have the full ME degree. It depends I suppose on what your goals are.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
