<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>How does a physics major differ from an engineering major (mechanical, electrical, etc)?</p>
<p>physics is theoretical -- why is some physical phenomenon the way it is? engineering is applied -- using the rules of physics, math, etc. let's build something useful.</p>
<p>Oh, I was thinking more about how the actual classes differ.. like what engineering majors learn/do in class that is different from what physics majors learn/do.</p>
<p>Is it "easier" (less competitive, not so pressured..)</p>
<p>THanks though!</p>
