<p>Which engineering discipline has most math and which has the least? And which has most physics and which has least?</p>
<p>In my school - we take 8 math courses for Electrical Engineering - the most of all</p>
<p>Civils have the least</p>
<p>Edit* - I’m taking Signals and Systems course load, pretty much math as well</p>
<p>Mechanical/Aerospace definitely has a ton of physics: mechanics, thermo, all that good stuff. I think it has the most. Math-wise, I’m not entirely sure but at my school you need six math classes at least.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. Which has the least math and physics.</p>
<p>It’s hard to say. I believe that every engineering field has a way of using its math and physics. In the case of chemical engineering, we do a lot of ways to iterate and plenty of partial differential equations and laplace transforms while not as much linear algebra as an EE. And we specialize more on fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and depending on your electives, we can do some circuits, materials science, etc.</p>
<p>As an EE I had to take 7 math classes. I would say that all Engineering disciplines require a lot of physics.</p>
<p>At my school, I think the Civil/Environmental Engineers take only 4 or 5 math courses, so that might be the least.</p>
<p>Really hard to say, most engineers take the core Physics 1/2, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. After that the ASE/EE might take an extra Math class or two but that doesn’t really constitute a dominance of math compared to other majors.</p>
<p>In fact you’ll see that all majors require heavy math even if you don’t take a corresponding math class–Dynamic Systems and Controls will require ODE/Laplace while Electromagnetic Engineering is full of surface integrals and other fun calculus topics. </p>
<p>In terms of physics, the notion is even vaguer. MechE/Civils/ASE will deal heavily with dynamics, statics and mechanic of materials. EEs will of course see much more E&M and even ChemEs will deal with material science/atomic physics. </p>
<p>Also keep in mind that specialty majors like Nuclear Engineering have a ton of physics/math associated with them.</p>
