<p>Hello CC, first-year physics major here and done with the first semester. I want to work in either aerospace or robotics, should I transfer to my school's engineering dept?</p>
<p>Thanks,
MikeEcho</p>
<p>Yes, if you want to become an engineer, then transferring in to the school’s engineering department is highly recommended.</p>
<p>It depends if you want to go into a graduate program or not. A physics degree is pretty good preparation for the mechatronics field. Aerospace Engineering is good too but you might not get the breadth that you have in physics. For a job with a B.S. Engineering is usually preferable because employers look for engineers instead of physics majors (sadly!).</p>
