best type of engineering major

<p>Aww darn, was gonna suggest Electrical Engineering, because it goes quite abstract, but to lower the math a little, how about Computer Engineering? ~</p>

<p>You could work on developing warp drive capabilities.</p>

If you are looking for “more abstract” engineering I would suggest that you don’t understand what “engineering” means. Take a look at the philosophy of engineering and you will see why this is an unresolvable criterion.</p>

<p>

No need for that @Anonguy67‌. You are asking what is fundamentally a flawed question. I realize that in philosophy there may be no such thing, but philosophy is primarily in the business of asking unanswerable questions, while engineering is primarily in the business of providing very specific answers. Coupling them together is not really possible - it is like saying you want to walk and stand still at exactly the same time.</p>

<p>A long time ago, I saw a pyramid of science, with each set of disciplines dependent on those below:</p>

<p>Medicine
Engineering and Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Mathematics
Philosophy</p>

<p>I would suggest (as others already have) that mathematics would share more kinship with philosophy and with your preferences. Failing that, physics or even chemistry. By the time you get to engineering, it is difficult to even see the association with philosophy, much less connect to it by ideology.</p>

<p>Oh, and as to the “less mathy” thing… good luck with that. The “least mathy” engineering disciplines still require a LOT of math to graduate and offer limited opportunities to those who are not willing and able to math it up with the best of them. I can’t even make a recommendation because I cannot think of any engineering majors that would be even slightly palatable to someone with your indicated preferences.</p>

<p>I think Software Engineering would go perfectly with Philosophy. It will involve more logic than straight math, at least compared to other fields.</p>
