This video mostly goes over two of the biggest classes and fields you learn about as a physics undergrad which is quantum physics and classical physics. I will be going over more classes (in less detail) and more information on the major itself, who it's right for, careers, etc in the part 2 video.

[@nuke123ful]

If you are between Physics and Engineering (physics-based ones like ME,CE,EE), I have some advice for you. Only major in Physics if you are willing to study for approximately 8-10 years and actually have a deep interest in the theoretical/research aspect of it. If you, instead, want to only study 3-4 years and work on real-world problems which involve applied Physics, choose Engineering. You will most likely be making more money than a Physicist (or at least the same, depending on your experience and the company).

Can't really just "choose" engineering, its hyper competitive. Physics is not at least at the undergraduate level.

If you love STEM fields, and ever have an option to study any one of the STEM fields, including Physics, always choose Physics. Do Bachelors in Physics, and Masters in any other Engineering discipline you like. But you can still get a good paying job with a Bachelor's in Physics. The reason is, with a Physics degree, you can get a job at almost any Engineering discipline, be it Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemist, Software etc... Since as a Physicist, you get to learn everything the Engineers learn, but in a much deeper level of understanding.

One does not need to take those courses, but some if not all are especially useful if you're thinking of pursuing particle physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, or theoretical physics.

[@aaronshelton6243]

Great video! I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I’m going into my senior year of high school and looking at colleges. I want to major in Mechanical Engineering, but I am also interested in physics. The reason that is important is because one of the colleges I’m looking at is Illinois State University (I’m from Illinois) and they offer a double major program where you go to their university for 3 years for your physics and math specific classes, and then transfer to another school for 2 years for your engineering specific classes. Upon completion you graduate with a B.S in Physics and a B.S. in a specific field of engineering (for me it would be mechanical). While I would have to go an extra year I would get a second degree and I do find Physics interesting. Also I would get in State tuition and if I did well I could have a chance to transfer to the University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne which is a top 10 engineering university. However that 5th year is a decent chunk of money so do you think a second degree in physics could help my marketability right out of school? If I decide not to go to ISU I would go to another school out of state but I could only afford it if I went to Community College for 2 years. While I would love to do this 5 year program I’m just not sure what to do as I don’t want to screw myself over financially in the future. It’s also important to note ISU does not offer a standalone engineering program so if I don’t do the double major I will not be attending. Thanks for all your helpful videos!

I'd like to develop my interest in photonic and magnetics or theoretical physics. But right now, after watching this video, I realize that are so much essential things I have to conceive before that. I hope I can understand better what am I going to learn furthermore after watching this. By the way, I'm also developing an interest in informatics besides physics for some ridiculous reason but I think it has something special. I want you to make a video about how are the relations betweenn physics and informatics, such as what physics has to do with coding, machine learning, formal language theory, etc. Not only from computer components but what are its roles in informatics. Most of the people relate informatics with mathematics since it's the most basics. But I its relations with physics are quite underrated. So, what do you think? Is it a good idea?

However, it's easy to find hundreds of electrical engineering careers in space programs, defense, aerospace, etc, but not so easy to find exactly what I'm looking for, but I know its got to be out there. I was hoping and wondering if you knew anything about this subject, is this a worthwhile field to pursue, do these jobs exist, any idea where I should start looking?

Take the Upper Division Lab elective Courses, even if you think you're a Theory Geek. The hands-on work is a good break from problem sets, and learning how to write Physics is priceless. (In Grad School, I learned that my "knack" is in the lab. Should have learned that earlier.) Take the full course of "Math for Physics" rather than a lot of separate Mathematics Courses; two exceptions are Differential Equations, and Vector Calculus (take those from the Math Department) but skip Linear Algebra and Group Theory (part of Abstract Algebra). Math Major prove theorems (which is great), but Physicists calculate; learn how to calculate. I've used Mary Boas, George Arfken in my courses, and recently found "Mathematics of Classical and Quantum Physics" by Byron & Fuller which very readable. Morse & Feshbach is the classic Heavy Artillery of Mathematical Physics, also very readable for an Undergrad. Read "The Feynman Lectures in Physics"! They are full of interesting insights by three ingenious Physicists.

[@gieltimmermans8794]

You can't send information this way, because the entanglement process at the transmitter intrinsically has a 50% chance of succeeding. The receiver measures the state of the particle, but he doesn't know if that state was entangled or not. Only if the transmitter confirms that the state was entangled (by a sub-lightspeed signal) can the receiver know that he measured the entangled state of the transmitter.

[@pablodibildox441]

Among my peers we have more electrical engineers, controls engineers, some people doing research at universities, project engineers, and others continuing school. That's just what I saw on LinkedIn, but there are few people that I'm connected to that have a mechanical emphasis. My degree gave me some nice coding skills as well and I've found an interest in machine learning so I've been studying that and might start applying soon. Hope that helps!

I have a doubt: can you be doing a physics degree and an engineering degree at the same time?

[@LordCoeCoe]

There is a degree called Engineering Physics.
