Hello I just want to know as an System Engineer student in my second year(I have 4 years in total) what kind of physics and mathematics will I use if going to work in a field let's say ( Electronic System or Electromechanical Systems or Computer).

Thank you,

Adrian
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If in the US:

Probably not a whole lot, system engineers are more concerned with component integration into systems and life cycle development/sustainment- neither of which will probably be very physics-y or mathematic-y, beyond simple standard things.

It depends though on who you end up working for, and what's going on at the time.
 
Thanks for the info student100.And what kind of engineer field can I join , if for instance I would know : Algebra , Calculus , Vector Calculus , Differential Calculus + Some good physiscs background ( Electromagnetism etc).
