Surely there are more aspects to engineering that I’m not aware of, and I’d like to know what they are.



What kinds of engineering are you interested in (besides mechanical?)

Generally, engineering is a very good mix or theory and practical concepts, and the very intense classes and work will leave you very well prepared to do just about any job. Majoring in physics will give you a solid and general physics education (and expertise in whatever smaller concentration you pick), but won’t give you the fundamental knowledge to be a mechanical engineer.
