If I recall correctly, you were a student at U of T (or still are)? I got into their mechanical engineering program but I opted to go to Waterloo because of their co-op instead. I've been told that engineering physics is sometimes risky based on the program because some programs are designed...

Maybe because of look-elsewhere effects, is the parameter space of the data different? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-elsewhere_effect

Chemical engineers can work in the aerospace sector although they don't primarily work on propulsion (aerospace engineers and mechanical engineers work primarily in the design of a rocket). Chemical engineers will mostly work on the material components of the space crafts but can certainly fill...

I think you just answered your own question. If you don't like engineering don't do it. Besides the amount of boredom you will experience by not enjoying it, there is an ethical consequence to engineering. If you aren't passionate about it and don't put the utmost interest in creating sound...

My first semester average was 94% and this semesters average is 94% and I didn't get into mechanical engineering but got an alternate offer to chemical engineering. U of T's admissions are very weird if not a little pedantic and annoying (people with lower averages have got into Eng Sci and...

Source? This is entirely contrary to some statistics I have seen.

Choose a number from 1 to 10.

First and foremost, what you think is fun is really subjective. From a general standpoint, I would presume you may find electrical engineering more "fun" primarily based on your background. Electrical engineering is a lot more mathematics (signal processing, control theory etc.) than physics...

Just a few quick questions. 1. Do you think you will be able to learn effectively and enjoy your physics degree if you also have to worry about another major and those classes? 2. Do you want to be an engineer? If the answer is no then the degree is pretty pointless. 3. Have you considered...

Why? His ideas have never been proven experimentally.

Carbon? No one?

Because math is the study of formal patterns and nature is imbued with formal patterns.

A theoretical physicist is a person who approaches physics from a certain perspective; namely the theoretical side. This involves chalk-work and what-not. An experimental physicist is a person who approaches physics from the experimental side which involves performing, well, experiments and...

A little geophysics and some talk on fluid dynamics.
