Schools University - Physics or Mech Eng

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the choice between pursuing a Mechanical Engineering BEng at Ryerson University and a Physics and its Applications Hons BSc at the University of Toronto. The preference leans towards UofT due to a stronger interest in physics and general sciences. The decision-making process involves researching both programs, with considerations for potential future paths such as transferring to Mechanical Engineering, double majoring, or pursuing a master's degree if attending UofT. Conversely, attending Ryerson is seen as a more straightforward route to obtaining a BSc and entering the workforce. The conversation highlights the importance of personal interests and future academic or career plans in making this educational choice.

Ryerson: Mechanical Engineering BEng
University of Toronto: Physics and its Applications Hons BSc

Which would you pick?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Would you rather study engineering or physics? I'd personally pick UofT since I prefer physics and general sciences over engineering.
 
Are you really basing your decision on an online poll?
 
Im not basing my decision on an online poll, I have to look some stuff up and this could offer some information.
 
I would enjoy both equally. If I go to UofT then I figure I would either transfer to Mech if I don't like it, or double major, or get a masters. If I go to Ryerson then I'll get my BSc and then find work.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

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...
