<p>300 views and no replies? That’s weird. I will take a stab at it…</p>
<p>I don’t think that it will be a good combo. Why? Mechanical engineering deals w/ classical physics problems like dynamics while applied physics leans towards non-classical, relativistic properties, like lasers (optics) and electron properties (materials, electrical, quantum). </p>
<p>Can you think of a sub area of applied physics that pertains to mechanical engineering? I can’t. Just my thoughts. I haven’t studied mechE stuff but you might be better off getting a masters in your field.</p>
<p>An engineering physics program would be a better fit for an engineer</p>
