Physics, computer science or electrical engineering?

Lol no. There is a lot more to physics than that. How about thermodynamics for a start? Not to mention all the maths that you never encounter in an engineering degree

Not to mention all the maths that you never encounter in an engineering degree

Engineers do thermodynamics, its fundamental....


lol ok then....

Electrical engineers do thermodynamics? Aye ok mate. Have you done linear algebra?

Job wise im not too fussed im more focused on learning. I just like learning things that interest me. Unfortunately im interested in all of them.

Also i know i can teach myself computer science at home but it wont be in depth as you were saying.The thing i was wondering is which course covers all of them above?

Also is there anyway i could possibly do all 3 of the degrees or even 2?

Someone was saying something about a top up degree? Im not too familiar with that. If you know about that, could you explain it to me?


Im sorry for all these questions.

ok maybe not electrical but other engineering degrees do thermo, I do thermo. We do all types of mathematics, calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, laplace transforms, fourier series, complex numbers, etc.

btw we are not talking about which degree is the hardest here, we talking out of electrical, phsyics and CS which is the best to do.

Exactly, the post was about electrical engineering... They were saying that physics was just mechanics, electromag and quantum so by doing electrical engineering then you basically do electromag. This is definitely not true. I'm not trying to argue which is the hardest. Just saying that physics covers a lot more than that. Also physics introduces you to maths you will never encounter in an engineering degree.

but physics is just those 3, mechanics, electricity&magnetism and quantum mechanics. Give me a topic in physics that doesn't lie under those 3.

General relativity mate

and?

And a million other things that have no direct relevance to EEE..

And no, a Comp Sci degree is not a waste of money.

ouch, a million might be a bit too much dont you think? & yes a cs degree is not a waste of money for majority of people

.. for me personally it is which is why i didnt do it. have too much knowledge already I wanted a degree that will challenge me, not one I could coast through

Lmao your reasoning tells me you'd probably fail a CS degree, it's much more than programming.

such a cliche comment, no shiit

not to brag but I interviewed at google literally 4 days ago... not saying im the best but I doubt iid fail a cs degree

anyways going off topic, stop replying to me

For what role? I'm assuming janitor looooool

(it's just banter btw)

internship, software engineer.

and the guy who asked what my background was but deleted his comment, 1st year aerospace engineering.

Fair game. The STEP programme? I don't think Google's other programmes are open to first years.

Also, which office? London, Dublin, Zurich, Mountain View?

STEP, choose Zurich, Paris, London in order of preference.

What was the interview like? Their standard coding interview with whiteboards etc? Or more about you as a person?

I've heard Zurich pays more than their Moutain View HQ!! I've seen offers for their Mountain View office, and damn, if they pay more, you'd be rollllliiiing in it mate.

interviewed via google hangout with 2 software engineers, one form London and another form Zurich. London guy was alright, only asked one question which I solved although it took me a bit of thinking, typed code in google docs. Second interviewer from zurich asked a lot of technical questions about datastructures, and for example how I would store an array in memory, asked me a question which I gave two solutions to then asked me how fast one is compared to the other. he asked me about the Big O of every algorithm/solution I came up with for a problem, even asked me to create a game called Logo which looks basically this one https://turtleacademy.com/learn.php Didnt finish it obvs but wrote a class and about 2 functions.

and Zurich pays more probably because thats where they do majority of their research.

but physics is just those 3, mechanics, electricity&magnetism and quantum mechanics. Give me a topic in physics that doesn't lie under those 3.
