Hello /sci/,
What kind of engineering would you recommend me? I like physics and maths but I can't stand chemistry, so which one uses or requires less knowledge of chemistry?

>> No.2994340

software

>> No.2994341

Butt engineering.

>> No.2994342

electrical or computer

>> No.2994343

why don't you just do a science degree and major in physics/maths?

>> No.2994408

>>2994328
Applied/technical physics.
No chemistry in sight, but you're in an alley with a coked up Math coming up behind you and in front you have a Physics PCP.

>> No.2994413

>>2994343
no jobs

Everything Engineering has but without the shittier 'industrial experience' (basically doing boring shit and filing metal in workshops ITS LIKE IM IN TECH AT SCHOOL YAY), so nothing specific to the field.

A Physicist couldn't become a CHartered civil engineer but he could do virtually everything else a Civil engineer could.

Physicists can do more than Engineers anyway in terms of acedemic things.

Mechanical Engineering to Physics transferee here ask away

Dad's a math major and he writes software. Not directly math related but it can get your jobs in other fields.

>> No.2994495

>>2994432

Experimental: chip industry (nope, computers don't create themselves), nano technology (new semiconductors, laser applications, information transmission), biophysics (medicine), patent agents (pays pretty good actually), lots of other stuff
Theory: economical models, logistics, finance, statistics

... or as a friend of mine phrased it: Don't piss off a physicist or he'll become a law expert in 3 hours

Haha, I was planning on doing a Maths with Physics degree, would it be easy to get into one of said jobs, or would I need Maths or Physics?

>> No.2994508

You need to get your phd before those I suppose.

I think there's a lot of mathematics (no brainer) and programming courses in physics curriculum too. So you actually have some chance landing in an IT company?

>> No.2994549

Cybernetics, robotics and AI are pretty fascinating fields as well. Mixes some EE, some CS and some maths (particularly linear algebra).

Naaah, at least not with a diploma. I guess you could forget it with a USA master here though

>programming courses
Not one.
Learning to program isn't in the curriculum, but you'll be fucked if you can't work with computers at some point though. It's something you'll have to bring with you like being able to write.
>mathematics (no brainer)
Haven't had a "no brainer" lecture on math yet

Really, I always though they'd have a semester or two for a computer subject.

Why are aerospace engineers and mechanical engineers in the lowest tier?

I messed up the greentext.

Well there is a pretty good lecture on computational physics here, but it's not about programming. I mean there's a C++ crash course in the beginning, but that's not what the lecture is actually about.

>> No.2994675

>>2994649
ChemE here, we didn't have a programing module either, but we need to use programing alot for assignments. they just told us one day that it would be best to learn how to program in some language.

>> No.2994692

>>2994675
Oh, programming knowledge is quite mandatory huh, but they don't actually give formal lectures for it.

Anyway, thanks. That's some useful info, and some sort of preparation for me too.

What do chemical engineers do and make?

Do you guys make new chemicals or some shit?

>> No.2997107

>>2995706
no, mass produce ethylene; lots and lots of ethylene...

>> No.2998798

>>2995706

Every single process that involves a chemical requires a chemical engineer. That includes either building the reactor system to make a chemical or a system that makes use of said chemical.

The difficulty is over rated and it's boring as shit
