Hi guys i have to do a report on 3 different topics in physics and how they have been used in engineering. Can you guys suggest me some topics? and help me find good info
thanx

Um, pick any topic you want. Engineering is applied physics. In fact, it doesn't even make sense to separate the two.

Welcome to the PF. I agree with Cyrus, Engineering is really Applied Physics, at least a form of it.

What kind of Engineering are you doing to focus on for this report? Since you posted in the ME forum, are you looking for ME applications? There are a number in EE, but probably many in ME as well.

Please post more details, and tell us what you think some of the topics might be...
 
any topic like force and motion etc. What should i write that how that plays a role in engineering
