Can I be an engineer if I hate physics?

The short answer is: yes, you can still be a good engineer even if you don’t “understand physics”. The degree to which an engineer uses physics varies depending upon the type of engineering and career. For example, if you are a civil engineer and design bridges, then you will need to understand stresses and forces.

Do you need to be good at physics for computer engineering?

First and foremost, don’t worry, computer engineering and computer science are not focused on calculus or physics, but instead on logic and, in some areas, probability and statistics. (Of course, having math and physics helps to get accepted into engineering programs, but is not required.)

Is physics involved in computer engineering?

The top computer engineering programs not only study physics, they study the areas of physics that start making some people question question their sanity (quantum/semiconductor physics).

Can I do computer science if I’m bad at physics?

As you are not interested in physics and chemistry and good in mathematics you can choose computer science in Bachelor of technology. As you are good in mathematics you can choose computer science. In computer science some basic of mathematics is required.

Does physics help with computer science?

A lot of physical modeling can be done in computer programs. Physics is based on creating mathematical pictures of the way the universe works. Physics really builds on the logic that is integral to computer science.

Is physics a good major for engineering?

It’s really a very broad field, ranging from strict engineering practices to strictly biological studies, based on your eventual job/research focus. While being weak at physics may put you at a disadvantage, particularly during your college days, you really shouldn’t get discouraged.

How important is calculus and physics in Computer Engineering?

First and foremost, don’t worry, computer engineering and computer science are not focused on calculus or physics, but instead on logic and, in some areas, probability and statistics. Most CS/CE major require calculus but not as a pre-requisite, so you can just take the class in college. I don’t think physics will be of critical importance at all.

Why is Computer Engineering considered a branch of Physics?

Because unlike some tracks of computer science, computer engineering is engineering. It is rooted in the practice of computing and how to deal with reality. Physics is the study of reality. If you design computer hardware, you’d better know physics.

Is it bad if I’m Weak at physics?

While being weak at physics may put you at a disadvantage, particularly during your college days, you really shouldn’t get discouraged. I can tell you that I was only good with the mechanics portion of physics and struggled quite a bit with the electromagnetics portion.
