Engineering Physics - The COOLEST Degree!

In this video I explore the field of engineering physics or engineering science and some people call it and I tell you everything there is to know! I talk about jobs in engineering science, types of courses you take in engineering science, what the starting salary might be, definitions, and what other opportunities exists for engineering physicists. It's a super cool field of engineering and if I could take engineering again I would 100% do this degree. It seems awesome.

    Hey everyone! First of all, I really like your videos Oliver, so keep up the good work. Secondly, I'm a first year engineering student in France, so my first year is general (everyone takes the same courses) and I need to choose my specialisation next year, and I'm really lost, at first I was lost between mechanical engineering, and "Automatique électronique" which is an electrical and automation engineer (I think!) but now, I got to know a bit more about all of the specialisations that are available at my engineering school and Génie physique, which I think is engineering physics is really fascinating to me as much as the other two. I really don't know what to choose and I only have 3 months to choose and I can't make my mind up about it, so I'm really open to advice or maybe explanations from other people that are in these fields, and I might as well like other fields in engineering if I get to know them more. And by the way at first I wanted to study mechatronics engineering, but the engineering school I chose at the end didn't have it, but I thought that "automatique électronique" should be the same amd if not, pretty close. So any idea or help from anyone?:))

    At the end of the day whichever one you choose, you'll learn some cool stuff I'm sure. What I would do is try to talk to some of the upper years at your school in each of the programs you are interested in and ask them what they like and what they don't like about the program and then see if you agree with them or not. After that think about what kinds of jobs you think you'll want to do once you graduate (although this will probably change as you take courses and find new interests). But having some kind of direction and goals to shoot for might make it easier to choose a discipline.

    I have a BS from Berkeley in Engineering Physics, it's structured a bit differently than discussed in this video, it was a subset of Engineering Science as a whole, which contained other odd interdisciplinary Engineering + pure phys/math/science hybrids as well. For Berkeley, and likely many other Unis, a key consideration is that EP was very much geared for the student to go to graduate school, it was one of the few "Engineering" degrees with a GPA minimum requirement (essential for grad school compared to more execution-oriented engineering roles), and was a vestige of the Manhattan project --> Cold war, where the nation needed top tier research universities to be feeder programs to higher ed and government labs. With the consolidation of govt labs from hundred(s) down to dozens, the field has been in decline for decades, which is why it's relatively unheard of compared to newer sexier engineering fields (e.g. BioE). The strong emphasis towards graduate school (at least at Cal) also means that you are by definition much less employable than other engineering degrees (e.g. EECS) for well-defined roles such as programmers. Sure, there are those niche areas where the ability to digest just a bit more information than the next engineer, at a slightly higher level, is more valuable than a more traditional engineering degree, but it's important to keep in mind that many graduate level engineers and physicists (esp at the PhD level) can also do that, so you're really looking for fields that want a slightly more generalist engineer, but at an undergrad level (rare). Finally, due to the small size of the field, and the very very wide array of paths you can take due to the inherently interdisciplinary nature of it, it's a fairly lonely program, as you aren't in a well-defined cohort of students going through very similar lower and upper div classes; there's quite a diaspora at the upper-div level, especially during senior year. All in all, the realities of the major in my opinion means that the downside greatly outweigh the upsides. Edit: Forgot to add - for current EP majors, I _highly_ recommend not "enjoying" random electives too much, and focusing deeply on one of the tracks that appeal to you, the extra depth of knowledge in a specific field will make you much more employable and competitive against others who came out specifically studying that field (e.g. think about an EP with some intro level dabbling in aerospace plus nuc. eng plus whatever, vs. a dedicated aerospace engineer).

    I'm about to start doing some research on molecular computation/machines so hopefully this helps: These sort of young research topics don't have super well-defined educational trajectories for people to follow. There are lots of ways to view molecular machine R&D -- you can try to attack it as a chemistry problem, but it could also be seen as a physics/biology/computational/mathematical problem. There's no "molecular machines" undergraduate degree, and even if there were, we wouldn't really know which courses to put in. I did engineering science specializing in machine learning. The foundation has been super valuable as I've done research/engineering in a bunch of different areas. You get exposed to a lot of fields which really helps when picking up new ones -- something you'll have to do a lot in research, especially a young field like molecular machines. I think one can self-learn a lot of it if needed, but imo it's hardest to catch up on math if you lack that background. Overall I'd recommend engineering physics if it's an option. Physics or math or chemistry would also be great. Then get some research experience and try to find a molecular machines lab you can join. Good luck!

    They may be a bit different with Engineering Physics being more focused on the engineering portion such as designing, testing, using software (Computer-Aided Design, MATLAB, etc.), engineering ethics, a bit of chemistry, and other engineering practices, whereas Applied Physics can be seen as a bit more theoretical in comparison with the other courses being spent on a broader and/or deeper range of physics courses instead. Of course, each university may vary a bit, but the two are definitely on the broad side.
