<p>Friends i wanna know how important is the knowledge of physics in industrial engineering. I love industrial engineering but i hate physics some time i think that if a choose an engineering degree i won´t success because i don´t get along with physics. That sometimes makes me think i´n not smart enough please respond me.</p>
<p>The overlap is much less between the two than in say electrical engineering and physics.</p>
<p>I'd say there's really no overlap between the two fields, unless you work with say GE in wind turbine production. But then again, you probably wouldn't be doing the physics work.</p>
<p>Also, if you "love" industrial engineering, you should probably know the answer to your question.</p>
<p>Not much overlap, but I would look into exactly what you dislike about physics. Both fields depend heavily on calculus and modeling, so if that's your issue with physics, you'll likely have a problem with ISyE.</p>
<p>Physics is awful. I applaud your disdain.</p>
<p>(Physics major here...)</p>
<p>How important is physics to IE? Not very. It is vitally important that you know calculus and statistics, but physics, not so much. Personally, I am not a fan of physics at all in a classroom setting. Behind chemistry, physics is my least favorite required class for IE. I used to think that I really liked physics, but soon found that what I liked about it was not what the classes focused on. Anyway, I guess thats besides the point here lol. To answer your question, you just need to make it through mechanics and E&M, then you dont have to worry about it anymore for the most part </p>
<p>There really isn't much physics in IE. What is it about physics you don't like? I'm an idiot when it comes to circuits and EM, not too proficient with statics/dynamics, but I'm not too bad with thermodynamics. There are so many sub-disciplines in physics that saying "I don't like physics" is way too broad.</p>
<p>Unless of course you mean all physics.</p>
<p>God, I hate physics. lol.</p>
