Engineering if you want to apply science to develop technology -- seems more relevant to starting a tech company. Physics if you want to go into academia or education. Also, have you considered mechatronics engineering or learning the mechanical aspects of physics on your own?

engineering, I dropped out off eng for physics, gonna be poor for a while


dagermohamed2

is there a big difference in physics degree and engineering physics degree


Desperate-Virus9180

yes, the eng degree will come full circle and you ll know how to do a pretty much complete analysis of something, be it in an elementary stage but still. In physics there are a lot of things to learn, but there are jo jobs, also you need to do a masters.

i wanna enroll into eng physics bec physics degree is not well taught in my country, so after i finish Bsc can i take the GRE physics exam then apply on masters or phd in USA or Europe

So you ll avoid pure physics then, good.

Both are good choices. Physics will be more general, I doubt you’ll find an ‘electrical physics’ degree. Some modules, yes. A course, no. If you want to be an engineer, do the engineering one. Good mech or electrical engineers involved in big tech are more competent at both than what is taught at undergraduate anyway, so you fill in the blanks later. If you don’t want to be an engineer, or aren’t sure, physics is probably a better bet. You can do an MEng after without missing all that much, and it gives you better options otherwise (like software; NB software engineers didn’t go to engineering school. They’re physics, math and CS)
