I looked at my friend’s mechanical engineering homework, and it looked like applied mechanical physics. Why major in Mechanical Engineering when you can major in physics and know how to do a lot more (besides mechanical physics)? Surely there are more aspects to engineering that I’m not aware of, and I’d like to know what they are.

The reason I’m asking is because I am deciding whether or not to transfer to engineering (I’m a freshman).
