Depends on what kind of physics is more fun for you. I was always interested in electronics, so electrical engineering was a natural for me. Then, once I discovered computers, I was hooked. I played with the hardware and software for 40 years.
Now that my engineering career is over, I'm back to playing with physics. I left my physics major because of the curriculum's obsession with subatomic particles. Now I'm back to looking at subatomic particles.

All engineering is fun if you like math, science, and problem solving. Your first year of engineering school is going to be pretty similar no matter what your specialty ends up being.... Assuming your first physics course is covering motion and kinematics right now, those topics would be the focus of disciplines like mechanical, civil, and aeronautical engineering. If you're doing electricity and magnetism, and enjoy that, you might prefer electrical/computer engineering, or materials science (if you like chemistry too).
I'm a practicing materials engineer working in the aerospace industry if you want any other perspectives on this.

you would be desiring the time-commemorated calculus series that they practice each and every scientist and engineer -- calculus via applying differential equations and a few different training to boot. Numerical prognosis and Stats are the two smart. yet like the previous poster suggested math isn't in all probability the middle of physics. it quite is basically a gadget. P.S. i will't have confidence the 1st poster including his "formula and constants" answer. What a dipshit.

Some don`t consider any kind of learning fun.
Robotics is the in thing now. Also artificial intellegence.
Work on the MAYBE gate. (Based on past experiences, since this is the most hung up aspect of normal logic.)
Humans have this gate. Its called Yankee Inginuity!
Given enough memory (1*10^16 bits, computers will eventually develope this human trait (dangerous). They will then achieve 40 years of human knowledge in about 7 hrs!ledge of

Well, that really depends on what you like to do on top of physics. There are so many different fields of possibilities that it's hard to discern what you may or may not like.
If you like computers or robotics, go for mechanical engineering. If you like flying or flight vehicles, go for Aeronautical engineering.
Like i said, many realms of possibility out there.

That's a very personal choice.
I did mechanical engineering, but I particularly liked the digital electronics subjects.

My husband likes mechanical engineering a lot. Maybe you would like that. I don't know anything about engineering myself sorry.
