Why Physics is required to be an engineer ?
Physics plays the most fundamental role as Science and the principles involved in Physics like:
- Motion
- Force
- Pressure
- Current
- Optics etc.
form the basics of engineering.
Engineering is essentially the application of these principles in daily life and making things easier as a problem solving skill.
Study of physics develops the ability of Problem Solving, Logical Thinking and also the ability to think intellectually. Engineering streams like:
- Mechanical
- Chemical
- Electrical
- Civil
- Electronics
does require a lot of knowledge of Physics , however streams like:
- Textile
- Biotechnology
- Agriculture
do not require the same degree of application of those principles.
Whatever we see around us, the technology that has evolved so much in just a few years has been made possible due to the engineering involved in it.
The basic fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics still remain the guiding principles well rooted behind these advancements.
