Is it possible/okay to get your undergraduate degree in engineering physics and then go into graduate school and get your graduate degree in aerospace engineering> please help Thanks

Hey forum Which one can be considered "better" and why? I'm inclining towards Engineering Physics for my master of science in engineering, but I haven't really looked into mechanical engineering and was wondering what the forum has to say about it.

If I do a B.Sc.Eng in Engineering Physics can I do a MEng in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or maybe Aerospace Engineering ? I like research allot, I like building stuff electrical, electronic and mechanical. I like to work on alternative power sources or design key sistems...

Please recommend a good introductory book on Engineering Physics. I'd like to buy a printed book, with a decent number of examples and samples. I've taken Calculus I, and are taking Calculus II this semester.

Right now I am a junior working towards an Engineering Physics degree and an EE minor. In addition to the physics, I've been/plan on taking a few EE and MSE classes that I have thought would be useful and interesting in the kind of work I could see myself doing. I looked over the MSE/EE joint...

Hi there! I'm a 24 years old Junior in Aerospace Engineering at a respectable public university in the US. I have not taken many upper-level classes yet, mostly pre-reqs and core classes. Lately I have become increasingly disenchanted with my major, the main reason being that I feel that I'm...

Hello everyone, I am doing B.Tech. in Engineering Physics and in my final year right now. I come from a reputed institute we are generally offered on campus jobs although at my institute there aren't many core companies related to my major. Anyway, my plans are to obtain a masters degree. My...

I am the father of an excellent young man. He is a junior in high school and is starting to look at colleges and possible majors. His natural interest is in pure physics, but he is smart enough to realize that engineering provides more career opportunities. Since money is an issue with his...

Alright, here's the thing, and I'm going to try and make it as short as I can. I've always been interested in physics, and I'm thinking about choosing it as my career. I'm thinking about going into grad school for it. However, I want to also be able to have a good job after I graduate. Is...
