Hi Everyone,
I am currently doing my final year in B.Tech Engineering Physics. During these 3 years studying this course, I understood that learning Engineering was never the intent of this course in my college.. Faculty were stuffing us with Pure Physics with Applied or Engineering Physics never visible in the curriculum. I have always found modern physics subjects like Quantum Mechanics and Electrodynamics difficult to understand. However there was this one elective that caught my interest: Thin Film Technology. That is one field that I want my make my career in.
My query to experts out here is about promising graduate level courses that are available for this field and what preparations would I have to make to achieve the same. I would be deeply thankful for your guidance.

I'm no expert, but if you plan to take graduate level courses, you will probably have to meet with an advisor. They can make sure you take classes that supplement your research.
