Sounds like someone needs education. :-)
Physics is the basis for Science. EE and ME are practical applications of Physics in real life.
Note: Psychology and Biology are not pure science. To many 'I feels'.

I believe with all false modesty that it's generally easier for a EE to
understand and analogize (izzat a word?) to things mechanical than it is
for someone from the nuts and bolts side to do in the opposite direction.


Perhaps true if you limit yourself to the sorts of subjects
that typically pop up here, but you need only look back at
some of the previous threads on thermodynamics and the
behavior of compressible fluids to find a counterexample.

Hey, who brought physics into this? I never liked the stuff, and now
with string theory and all that new guff it's more of an insider's game
than the petroleum market. I'll to stick with electronics and mechanical
stuff and leave physics to the profs.


Physics? What would you have all us MEs do after our second
semester (besides party and whore around) if we left thermo
and all that follows to the physicists?


Even Steven Hawkings, In an interview I just read in the latest issue of
Discover magazine, said that he's changed his mind and given up thinking
man will ever find a unified theory. He said something to the effect
that it would remove the thrill of the challenge if we did. :-)


Sounds like sour grapes to me g.
