What type of engineering requires the least knowledge in physics and chemistry?
I want to get into engineering, but I want to see the ones that require the least physics and chemistry, just in case I’m not too strong in those subjects.
Robert, of course I will need Basic Physics. I’m not saying I won’t know the basics, but I might not be a huge expert. I said least* anyways.
I would say structural engineering, that is designing buildings to be safe, without spending too much money. However, the job Market is not great because of the property bust.
Another possibility is financial engineering.
you will never succeed in any science program if you cannot understand basic physics and basic math.
Although chemistry is negligibly used in most branches but physics is one of the essentail parts of engineering
Biotechnology
Civil
IT requires very little only……………..
Physics & chemistry require only in the first year of Engg, then remaining year will be your Engg subjects.
Excluding Basic Physics n Chemistry u dont need it in IT….
that type of engineering is engineering physics or applied physics.. this field of engineering covering all subject or multidisciplinary such : material, chemistry, mathematical and of course physics..
All true engineering degrees and fields require a comfortable understanding physics. Very few require chemistry. The problem is not so much the core physics classes but all the other applied physics classes like thermodynamics, statics, fluid dynamics. etc.
The bottom line is, if an engineering degree doesn’t require a good understanding and ability to use physics, then it is not a true engineering field.
All accredited engineering curricula in the US require the same amount of chemistry and physics. Civil engineering studies and practice will require chemistry for water and wastewater treatment, materials science, and some geotechnical courses. Engineering is the application of physics, so if you’re not strong in that area, you need to study and practice.
