Is there any engineering field with little physics and more math involved?? my strong points math, i get my highest grades in math, i get good grades in physics too but only coz the teacher's easy, i dont get any of the concepts, maybe coz my teacher's not very good.

You mention in a separate question that you are preparing for SAT's, which means that you are probably still in high school. I'm just guessing here...

If that is the case, then your grades in math show that you are developing the type of mind that will do well in many different subject areas, and that it might be a little too early to worry about fine-tuning down to "what kind of engineering" right now. Your mind could still evolve to become skilled at any type of engineering, but also math and economics, as well.

I started out in college thinking I would go into astronomy, and ended up in economics. It's what fit well for me, and for my brain. I make good money, too. It's what is easiest for me. Continue to work hard, and explore what comes easy, and what is interesting to you.

Well, I'm not really sure, but I would think computer engineering. May I offer some advice though... I'm graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 19 days.... I hated physics, all three semesters, and I didn't really get most of the concepts until they were better explained in statics, dynamics, and circuits classes. Sometimes it just clicks later on down the road. Good luck!

I am an engineering major too, and in my univ. those are how many classes you have to take regarding math and physics--

1) Industrial Engineer- (math)- precal, cal 1,2,3, and differential equations
(physics)- only 1 class-fields and wave

2) Mechanical Engineer- (math)- precal, cal 1,2,3, and differential equations
(physics)- only 1 class-fields and wave

3) Electrical Engineer- (math)- precal, cal 1,2,3,differential equations, and matrix Algebra
(physics)- 2 classes-fields and wave, and Intro to Mechanics

4) Computer Engineer- math)- precal, cal 1,2,3,differential equations, and matrix Algebra
(physics)- 2 classes-fields and wave, and Intro to Mechanics


Just a note- computer and electrical engineer are based on physics with math, so watch out. My major is Industrial Engineer, and you do need the math, but not physics that much.

Hope this helps!!!!!! Good luck

I graduated a chemical engineer, and we used differential equations everyday. Chemistry, physics, and math are so intertwined that it is hard to seperate them from one another.

Chemical engineering comes to mind.
