then why even go into engineering? if your goal is to make money instead of contribute something of merit to the scientific community, you should just go into business and finance instead of downgrading the quality of the title of engineer. it's people like you that make it seem like such an easy degree, and then institutions actually dumb down the course load by separating math and physics courses so it's only for engineers, which also makes it impossible to get a minor for a few credits.

It's also a fact that there's engineers graduating every year who probably don't give a shit about giving something of merit to the scientific community, maybe just becoming an engineer is their only contribution because they realize they aren't geniuses. If you have people pursuing the degree because of its title how is it downgrading the quality of being an engineer? What kind of elitist attitude is that?

I also study engineering physics. At my uni you can choose certain specialisations like mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics ...
mandatory are many advanced maths courses like PDEs, Tensor Calculus and Algebra, Numerics and more ("advanced" as in, MechEs and EEs don't take them).
Industry jobs include R&D or Simulation/Calculation.
Science institutes and universities also hire us.

Downside of EE is, most industry jobs plain suck. It takes little skill to programm µ-Controllers, or copy-paste circuits, or setup simulations. Once you've done it, shit is just repetitive. Have fun doing this until retirement, hope the money makes up for your wasted talent.

Is this bait? Is this a ruse? I only lurk except when things as disgusting and sad as this bring me out.

Current high school student with an understanding of the equations here. I pity yet hate the people you're talking about.

In case you're about to come at me for how little I know, let me tell you. I do understand that logic and applications of the equations, and can use them when an appeal to symmetry is possible. I can take a gradient and all, but my calc could be better.

Anyway I can't believe you call that a university. Do the EEs just fart around with LEDs all day? Are they CSs but with bigger circuits? I'm baffled.

biomedical engineering

jack of all trades sort of degree, that lets you morph into pretty much any career, as long as you specialize in your post graduate.

Biomeds do organic and inorganic chem, physics, biology, math, computer science, statics, etc. They're great in management too since they have such a broad scope of understanding.

Well, to be fair, there are those who specialize in electromagnetic field theory and know more than I will probably ever know in that particular field.
But EE has many other applications like power electronics, automatization, communication, networks etc.
At my Uni, and I think many other engineering students will support me on this, EEs think of themselves as the smartest and brightest of all engineering students. That's why I took a shot at them. But as much as MechEs generally hate and struggle with engineering thermodynamics, EEs hate and struggle with EM field theory.

But why would I come at you for "how little you know"?
If you're in high school and already know what a gradient is, go find some hobbies, there are many beautiful things beside physics and maths!
What country are you from if I may ask? I didn't do vector calculus in high school.

Not him, but i am already a 4th year of mechatronics. At my uni, we take almost the same courses than MechE, but the electronics courses have to be "compresed", to fulfill the time limitations. Also, we focus in industrial aplications, wheter the EEs at my uni focus more in micro applications. I actually like it, because it is a very diverse program

Care to elaborate?
If you mean the maths involved, the stuff you learn in "engineering thermodynamics" is trivial compared to EM field theory. No arguing there.

But thermodynamics is the more fundamental of disciplines and thus much broader and in this way also more complex.
EM field theory as taught in uni to EEs is two semesters of juggling around with the same set of 4 equations.

For anyone wanting to know about the best engineering disciplines...

MechE or ECE will land you the most jobs in the future. They also pay great and engineers will always be hired. Don't listen to what /sci/ fucking says. People who won't get hired are people with stupid degrees like East African studies or an English degree. Stick to ME and EE, do well in college and you'll be set.

shiiet is that true for most EE's? I find circuitry and energy/power interesting but I don't want to be having to do something boring as fuck. Mechatronics seems pretty damn cool. Also, a lot of EE's become programmers. I might change major to MechE, but I think that they just CAD all day. So, EE sounds better.

Protips for beating out those other niggers for a job:

>get a fucking internship
you literally need an internship to get the internship nowadays. You have 4 summers. If you have to take some bullshit in bumfuck south dakota your first semester, do it. its your foot in the door for the next one.

apply fucking everywhere. i mean everywhere.

>Join a professional organization
I'm a Mech E. ASME throw little shindigs every couple of months. Cheap drinks and lots of handshakes.

Its like 25$ for a student membership to your association of choice. you could do it right now in less than 10 minutes on their website.

>Read journals/industry magazines
engineering is niche as fuck and there are dozens of enclave published magazines. find some kind of thing(s) you'd be interested in and subscribe. its good toilet reading material, and more importantly they often have ads for companies that are doing the kind of thing that you want to do. so, you know, call them and shit.

>Take the goddamn FE exam
holy shit its a pass/fail exam that covers no higher than sophomore level material.

>but /sci/ said getting your PE is a meme

having your EIT makes it look like you take your career seriously.

>get third party certifications
CAD/CAM certs can be acquired through the developer. Solidworks alone has like 9 different things. Microsoft certs too. Don't be afraid to delve into technician land a little bit.

Now, alot of you are thinking that this is bullshit and you don't need to do most of it. Yeah, you don't NEED to, but hey alot of other guys are doing all that shit and more and you are competing against them. you really think your GPA and charisma is good enough?

Thats the thing though.
If you want to 'contribute something of merit to the scientific community'

Most engineers who arent in academia aren't publishing papers on PDEs etc.
You might as well be an applied physicist/theoretical physicist if you love science so much.

You become an engineer to do the job, not for science; lets be honest.

Yeah, this. I thought the cool thing about being an engineer would be to create a design, something actually tangible, that will change how society does things (like, some brilliant IC for smartphones or an amazingly efficient way of delivering power to homes), whereas a physicist would discover something about the magnetic moment of some element and say something neat about the quantum model of carbon (or whatever) that would mean nothing to a normal person.

So /sci/.
I'M in my first semester in pure physics. Failed my first two exams. Math and Experimental physics A.
During the semester I realized, pure physics is hard as fuck, especially when theoretical physics are added in the second semester. I learned that mere interest in physics isn't enough to study it. I also don't have any clue what I could do with after my masters degree.
So, I was thinking of switching to engineering.
I think it's at least a bit easier than pure physics overall. But correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm being honest here. I really don't have a good interest in any field that I would say, "that's totally what I want to do all my life!". Yes, physics is interesting, but I learn I'm just kinda that 'wow, Einsteins theory of realtivity is fucked up man! That's real shit!' guy.
I don't really know what I want to do. But I know I want a good paying job and definetely don't want to be a wageslave. And when I look at engineering, 80% of the people in those fields are also just after the good money.

So to say after, I'm generally interest in physics and science as a whole, I thought switching to engineering. What field would you guys suggest? I thought of EE, because it also includes a bit of coding and that stuff and computer related things and such.

Are you by any chance a feminist?

On a more serious note, maybe you just fell for the STEM meme after watching cosmos or something like this. Perhaps business or law are more your venue? Just food for thought.

If you are definitelly interested in anything STEM related at all, pick up rigorous books on basic math (maybe translations of some russian polytechnic textbooks) and pre calculus, read them cover to cover, do every single exercise in them, and after that pick up all the books you'll be reading for freshman classes the following year and devour them too.

Dispel the notion that when you arrive at class you're a clueless moron to be enlightened by the interesting stuff your teacher has to say about the subject. That was back in the day when university was just for really smart people. In this day and age you should arrive at the classroom having completed the entire course already from some online resource, then maybe you have some hope of keeping up with the eggheads.

You already know you're no genius so become a preppy or get out.

You failing the two exams has nothing to do with you being bad. What you must understand is that university requires investment and time so don't think that engineering will be any easier, it will still be tough. I say yes, switch, but don't expect it to be easy especially if you don't love the field.

Go with EE och what we in sweden call it,
Technical Physics engineer, because they have most physics out of all engineers and.. you might end up being my boss ;)

Never said that.
>wants to do engineering for the money
Maybe you didn't understand my correctly. Yes, I do want to get good money after I finished my degree. Who the fuck doesn't? But I also want to do something STEM related on my job. Just not a researcher. I first thought I go into pure physics, because the there I get to know every field overall and when I finished I can pretty much decide where I go. But that's also pretty hard. So I think EE isn't that bad either. Gives me also a good amount of possibilites on what I can do later.

top kek

>You failing the two exams has nothing to do with you being bad.
I may sound like a faggot now (maybe I already do), but I know this. I failed my math exam because I got really fucking nervous and fucked up the simplest things. Right after the exam ended I could solve the problems I couldn't during the exam without any problems.

I don't soncider myself bad at the subjects themselves. I'm just really retarded during exams. Always had this problem since school. But wasn't a problem there. Now in university this could be a problem.

Except that jack of all trades mentality is exactly why undergraduate Biomedical Engineers are nothing more than glorified lab techs when they get hired, if they even are. You guys simply lack the foundations of proper engineering that ME/EE students get and that is precisely why they end up taking those biomed spots from you all. It is easier to teach an EE biology than it is to teach a BME how to be a good engineer. It is unfortunate, but to compete with theae undergrads you guys essentially have to go to grad school.
