What are you huffing m8? A lot of my friends at university are architecture students and they are the least STEM-y people I know. They're basically Fine Arts students. All of their classwork is making little craft projects and such. Nothing against architects, but it's not a STEM degree.

>>7236509
>mech comparable to civil
we're not talking about money or starting salary you fucking moron, we're talking about superiority. Any engineering major is superior to a fucking civil engineer because you have to be a fucking money hungry personalityless loser to go into that, it's not even STEM

>>7236519
>we're talking about superiority
Exactly.

MechE is shit, everyone can do any job a MechE can, but the reverse is not true. Both legally and in terms of competence, maybe civil is the only lacking momentum transfer/continuum mechanics and heat transfer.

MechE is like an intro to real engineering, they need to go to grad-school for aero etc. before they become more valuable than vanilla engineers.

>>7236542

what do you think an ece is going to do at an aerospace design corp? or an auto design corp? design their fucking radio?

top fucking lel, enjoy your programming monkey jobs. You're talking about engineers like there are any that matter outside of mech/aero/ece

>>7236557
this
eces end up sitting in a computer chair at a desk all day, mech embraces the hands on component of engineering like a real engineer. Why do you think so few electrical engies go into space compared to mech and aero? because ece aint hands as hands on. They're little coding theory monkeys

There are other niche programs, but those are just among the coolest programs that weed out those without passion.

Math/phys and nuc eng at top of my list because those aren't money or practicality driven majors, they're for people following their interests and dreams which is always high tier in my opinion.

I don't even know what "general physics" means. It's like you think that professional physics is based on the chapters in your Applied Physics for Engineers 101 textbook.

>>7236724
>astronautical engineering
Is this a major anywhere? Would be cool. Also yeah I'm aware of some of the more mundane subfields of Aero...like bloody air traffic and other planeshit barely related to aero design itself.

>>7236730
some places that teach specifically space engineering call it that, but aerospace is the general name. You usually diverge at gradschool or something into a specificity (into aeronautical or astronautical)

http://aeroastro.mit.edu/
https://engineering.purdue.edu/AAE
two best space engineering schools in the US, i'm going into mits ma program for astronautics next year

but if you take aerospace engineering at whatever state uni it's going to be really basic shit, you probably won't even touch on space

>>7236734
>i'm going into mits ma program for astronautics next year
Nice, grats anon. See you in space cowboy.

>>7236730
the thing is to even get into any kind of space engineering you need fundamentals they teach in undergrad. You won't get into any space stuff until grad school because you need to learn really indepth thermodynamics/fluid dynamics

>>7236739
Aero undergrad programmes are more packed than vanilla MechE because it contains a lot more material science and more detailed continuum mechanics and thermo.

>>7236743
yeah thats true, currently im a mech eng undergrad because theres no aerospace engineering here in western canada. I'm really pissed that when i apply to aerospace grad schools i'm going to be at a disadvantage

idk what shitty unis you're thinking of but there's a pretty decent space focus where I am (university of illinois)

anyways grats on MIT man, I'm hoping for grad school at stanford because the program is good and I really like the area

So...they do put gotcha questions on all the tests?

>>7237398
I don't think C means average in conventional parlance anymore.

I'm not sure it ever did, as average is relative. I think C customarily meant a grade of 70-80 percent. I could be wrong though. I think grading systems that go off a curve rather than a set percentage make more sense, or a system whereby the top 20 percent in the class get a '1' about 60 percent get a '2' and the bottom 20 a '3'

You might be an autistic sociopaths.

I don't think you made a mistake, sure everyone can become a code monkeys. But YOU are the leader of that group of monkeys.

>>7239240
Arithmetic can't decently be lower than Field Theory or Analytic Number Theory, and should actually be on the same tier as algrebraic geometry (hint: arithmetic over polynomials is a thing, and an important one).

Likewise group theory should at least be as high as Linear Algebra and Field Theory, and actually closer to Algrebraic Topology. If you weren't a shitlord you would have put Measure Theory, Group Theory and General Topology (which is missing) on God Tier actually.

Complex analysis should be at least god tier no matter what method of tiering you use, and with the one you're using it should be exactly god tier.

Combinatorics should be Top tier. Probability should be at least Top tier. Also what is "Statistical analysis" ? If you mean the branch of Probability that deals with estimators and tests it should be at least mid-tier.

Numerology isn't math. I dunno for sacred geometry.

Also where shouldn't be there something about calculation theory ?

Agree on the rest however.

>>7239257
if you have not even started university yet, why are you worrying about a PhD right now? You should figure out what interests you more, since a decent graduate of both fields will have plenty of opportunities to make money. Though I would say if you take Aerospace try to fit in a few Comp Sci course early on to get familiar with coding and algorithm/numerical methods. These skills are incredibly important and will provide a lot of utility.

Your degree should funnel you into a position where you are specifically trained for a specific position.

I have a friend who is an electrical engineer. He worked at a power plant and was booted for not having the skillset they were looking for after 2 years working. He started working at a motorcycle company (one of the big ones) doing electronics for them and got fired because he wasn't intrinsically familiar with motorcycles after a year.

Thank god I got into radiation instead of that shit. There's like 10 jobs total for that.

Mechatronics is basically "educated technician". In theory it's good because it's an advanced form of tradesmanship, but it only exists because trade schools aren't costly enough pieces of paper.

Well Architecture would probably be an art or design degree, Architectural Engineering is the design aspect, Civil Planning is a psych field, Civil Engineering is I think more the city-wide aspect vs the buildings themselves.

As a nuclear engineer, I don't know why it's so high on so many posts. 80% of the field is shit from other fields done very incompetently (statistics, physics, CFD, materials science, chemistry, etc.). The things that are unique to us are sad:
> criticality safety
Job includes running SCALE from ORNL over and over forever and filling out paperwork.
> nuclear data
"Fuck, we can't get experimental data for Fe56 to fit into R-matrix theory" "Stick a square wave in it, no one will notice!"
> design
Pretty much nothing unique or interesting will ever be built for a long time.
> simulation
All the mathematicians abandoned us because the linear Boltzmann equation was so fucking boring.
> weapons
Having never worked "behind the fence", I really can't comment on whether or not this field is actually interesting or just tedium and soul crushing isolation.

Sure, the average NE needs to know a lot, but their knowledge in any specific field is just enough to seriously cock it up whenever they try.

So we don't need people creating buildings? You ignorant bitch

This thread scares me, I'm struggling in precalculus of all things. How do I into math?

Keep working the problems. You'll learn to apply the Math in your engineering courses.

I understand. It kinda sucks, because I am legitimately fascinated by what I'm learning, and I want to know nore. I just take to it like a stone to water.
