What is more important in engineering math or physics?

As for engineering fields mechanical engineering is more toward math, electrical engineering is more physics.In mechanics yoy don’t need too much to understand the physical phenomenon.

Should I be an engineer if I like math?

It’s OK not to love math if you want to pursue engineering! But you do have to learn how to do it and tolerate it because it will be a good chunk of your education. Most of your math classes are in your first 2 years of college, then you’re using foundational math in your other engineering courses after that.

Should you take physics if you want to be an engineer?

To work in most branches of engineering you need good math and science skills. Make sure to take and do well in as many high school classes in these subjects as possible. Chemistry, physics, biology, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus and calculus should certainly be part of your curriculum.

Is it better to do physics or engineering?

A career in physics would be more theoretical and research oriented, and might require graduate degrees to attain a position you would be satisfied with. Engineering deals with applying physics and experience to solve practical problems, and offers a wide range of potential types of projects.

Can you be an engineer if you’re bad at physics?

The short answer is: yes, you can still be a good engineer even if you don’t “understand physics”. The degree to which an engineer uses physics varies depending upon the type of engineering and career. For example, if you are a civil engineer and design bridges, then you will need to understand stresses and forces.

Do engineering students study physics?

So, the short answer to the question is yes on both counts: Engineers certainly study physics; physicists must understand how to apply the science, and therefore often study and understand engineering principles – which in turn are derived from physics.

Does engineering have a lot of physics?

So, in short, yes, engineers do learn a whole lot of physics, but most of it not in the physics department. Physics departments tend to focus on the things that are of current research interest in physics, while engineering focuses on things that are of use in the development and design of new systems.
