Should I do mechanical engineering?

AI Thread Summary
Mechanical engineering is a field that combines both design and practical applications, making it suitable for those who enjoy hands-on work with materials like metals. While some theoretical concepts may not be directly applicable in every job, they provide valuable exposure and knowledge. Strong math skills are essential for success in mechanical engineering, so it's important to continue improving in that area. Overall, the discipline offers a balance of practical experience and theoretical understanding, appealing to those who prefer tangible work.

Hello I have recently applied for college and I put down mechanical engineering as my number 1. I ament that good at maths in fact I struggle with it, but I am very good at solid works and I love working with metals. I still don't know if mechanical engineering is mainly designing or if there is any practical side to it because I would rather the practical side! Could anyone help?

I think you will enjoy Mech Engineering. It is very practical although some of things you learn may never be used in your profession but still you will have had exposure to them and that is a good thing.

Keep working on your math it's definitely an important aspect to being good at Mech Engineering.
 
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...
