I’ve heard that Industrial engineering doesn’t require a lot of physics. I was just wondering what field has the least amount of physics? I’m not that great at it…
At the universities I’m familiar with, IE has the same physics requirement, more math, and more computer programming than other engineering majors. That must mean they have less of something else, but I don’t know what that is.
Sanitation engineers just need to understand gravity (those cans are heavy), projectile motion (getting the garbage into the truck), and compressibility of solid objects (running the compactor).
Every engineering major has substantial physics requirements before you even to your major courses. That having been said, your major courses will focus on applying some combination of the basic sciences - physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics. IE is more mathematics-based than physics-based, but I am not sure that someone struggling with physics would be okay there. The only majors I can think of that might lighter in physics would be agricultural or biomedical engineering. But I would check with experts in those specific fields - physics probably shows up a lot there, too.
