My daughter who is in 12th (PCMB) simply hates physics! Can you please help in understanding which branch of engineering has zero or minimal physics (beyond 1st year)?
Hello,
It's understandable that physics might not be everyone's favorite subject! If your daughter is looking to minimize her physics exposure in engineering, here are a few branches that typically involve less physics beyond the first year:
-
Computer Science Engineering : This field focuses primarily on programming, algorithms, software development, and computer systems. While some basic physics concepts are covered in the initial courses, they become less prominent as the curriculum progresses.
-
Information Technology : Similar to Computer Science, this branch emphasizes software, data management, and IT systems. The emphasis on physics is generally minimal after the first year.
Industrial Engineering : This discipline involves optimizing processes, systems, and organizations. It covers areas like operations research, systems engineering, and management, with relatively less emphasis on advanced physics.
Biomedical Engineering : Though it includes some physics in the context of medical devices and biological systems, it focuses more on biology, medicine, and engineering principles applied to healthcare.
Chemical Engineering : While it does involve some physics in the context of chemical processes, the focus is more on chemistry and chemical processes, which may be more appealing depending on her interests.
Architecture : Engineering in architecture focuses on building design and construction, with a more significant emphasis on design, materials, and structural analysis than on advanced physics.
Each engineering discipline will require some understanding of basic physics, especially in the early years, but the extent and depth of physics in later years can vary. It might be a good idea for her to explore her interests and look into the specific curricula of the engineering programs at different universities to find the best fit.
Hope it helps!
