Long story short, I've been told by many people that studying in pure physics is a waste of money, a waste of time, a completely useless degree, etc. And that I should go into engineering. Personally I love math and physics, I'm not too much of an "engineering guy" but I know that as a safer...
I totally understand that. My point is that if I were to decide to go in engineering, I would choose Eng Phys since its the "most related" (I know it's still very different) one to pure physics. That's why the dual degree interests me, I'm just annoyed you can't do Engineering Physics in it.
Thats sort of something I was considering. With the uCalgary dual degree, my "first common year" of engineering would be split into 2 years. This way, I would get to sort of touch up on both engineering and physics during those two years, and after those two I can decide where I want to go...
I don't know if a PhD in physics is necessarily my end goal, but from what I've heard and researched, I thought Engineering Physics was the best engineering branch to give advantage you if you were considering going graduate in physics. Why don't you think it is? (as in I want to know your point)
I am passionate about physics and math and science, you've heard the story a million times. I don't know whether I should study in physics or engineering.
I find the concept of Engineering Physics really cool. I've heard it still gives you the opportunity to go study graduate physics? (Lets...
I'm a high school student in Alberta trying to decide my postsecondary pathway. I love physics and mathematics, and don't know whether I should study in physics or engineering.
