Both science and engineering degrees are acceptable for astronaut candidates. An engineering degree would probably be better as there are more applications for engineers than physicists. To be able to compete against other candidates, doesn't matter what field you're in, you're going to have to be at the top of your field, hence if you think you'd be a better physicist than engineer, then I'd say bachelor of science. Other than that, I'd say bachelor of engineering.

What are the hardest courses in college?

Honestly, the hardest courses in college vary depending upon the students talents or lack there of. The hardest courses for me in college were: Physics (my teacher talked about his family every lecture time, instead of describing how Physics worked), and Trigonometry (the class deals with a lot of shapes, and has too many formulas that you will NEVER utilize in real life). The hardest courses in College are the ones you are not interested in. If you get a teacher that does not suit your learning style then you will still do well if you are interested in the subject because you will get the information from other sources. The best teacher in the world cannot teach you much if you are uninterested.


What is the minimum entry requirement for Bachelor in Engineering Chemical-Bioprocess Engineering?

Matriculation or STPM with minimum of B in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics /Biology


Are you bad at physics and engineering if you are good at mathematics?

Of course not. Certainly, you won't be bad at physics or engineering BECAUSE OF your math skills. You NEED math for physics, and both math and physics for engineering, so somebody who is not good at math is more likely to have trouble with physics or engineering.


Are they more physics in electronics engineering or mechanical engineering Which one goes deeper?

There is more Physics in Mechanical engineering as compared to Electronics engineering.

Is a bachelor of engineering higher than a bachelor of science?

No. the bachelor's in science degree (BS) is a general degree category from which many specific programs or study (majors) fall. In other words, it could be a bachelors in science degree in engineering (engineering being the major), or a bachelors in science degree in biology, or physics, nursing, etc. Typically, within the United States the bachelor degree falls into two categories; bachelor of arts, and bachelor in science. Outside the United States there are bachelors degrees that have other categories, but within the US the two I have mentioned are the most common. Thus, it is a bachelors in science degree, with a major in engineering.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of the bachelor's degrees Physics and engineering?

Advantages: you can work in most jobs in the technology industry, with good pay. You can build neat things. You get to work with very interesting science. Disadvantages: At most schools, physics and engineering degrees are significantly more difficult to get than those in the humanities.


What is required physical fitness for aerospace engineering?

There is no physical requirement. All you need to do is obtain a degree in physics and a few other things. If your school offers it, you can get a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. Then you move on to your masters and hopefully your PhD


How physics related to engineering?

Engineering is Applied Physics , Economics (affordability) and Art (think Apple).


Is it important for computer engineers to study physics?

There is no need to expertise in Physics for a computer engineering student.


Do you need to have physics to do enviromental engineering?
