Yo guys. As far as I know there are lot of engineers here at TL.net, so I would like to ask you one thing: how ample is physics at engineering courses (especially mechanical engineering)?
I know that it depends on where you are attending the uni too, but there should be some common aspects no?

Everyone can contribute, but I would like to hear it from engineers, so pls write what or what you have studied. thx

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work the luckier I am.

Physics is different in each discipline. I'm EE, we learn E&M and electro-magnet. My friend is mech, he learns kinematics, torque and stuff.
I would say when being think of "physics" its more mech physics and EE physics. I would say there is quite a bit of it in mech.

Can you explain your reasoning for asking such a question? A little background might help.

Everything is kinda of physics as you know it from high school. I'm gonna start my 4th year in mechanical engineering, and so far it has felt like it was only math and physics courses. Just that the physics is divided into electro, mechanics and termo etc.
Really, play for fun!

I'm in CS Engineering at U of Michigan and at my school all engineers have to take two physics classes as pre-reqs, mechanics and electricity & magnetism.

I'm neither and engineer or a physicist. My post does not contain anything more than use of these simple facts. - Physics affects everything on the Earth including buildings - Buildings must be safe for people to inhabit them - So buildings must be able to withstand the forces that physics applies to them.

In general you probably would have to know physics so far as covering the effects the physics of the earth would have on the building (i.e. gravity, wind sheer, stress, etc. etc.). So I would think that knowing at least some fundamental physics for building safety/longevity purposes would be a requirement. However, if you are asking does being an expert in physics first, and an engineer second make you a better engineer, I can't really say one way or the other.
