AI Thread Summary
Careers that blend health and engineering include health physics and biomedical engineering. Students interested in these fields should consider majors in biomedical engineering, health physics, or related scientific disciplines. The foundational coursework for most scientific and engineering majors typically includes calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, physics, and possibly chemistry or biology. This common curriculum in the initial years allows students to explore their options without committing to a specific path immediately.

Physics news on Phys.org
Well the first fields that come to mind are health physics and biomedical engineering.

For most scientific/engineering majors, in the first year or two the student takes math (typically calculus, linear algebra, differential equations), physics, maybe chemistry and/or biology. The good news is, the first year or two of nearly all science/engineering majors are very similar so you don't have to make up your mind right away.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
