[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Student answers “engineering” whenever asked his preferred major, but I think it’s his default understanding of what one does if they’re good at math / physics. Can anyone suggest other majors such a student should consider?[/quote] There are a lot of types of engineering that are all very different. Have you looked into the options? Why do you want to steer them away from engineering? Physics is a hard major because you really need a PhD and funding has been cut by the current administration and it's unclear if it will recover. The same applies for Chemistry and Biology-based majors (unless the goal is med school). Math is another major, but probably most interesting for those who want to do more theory instead of application. Then you're into the less employable side of the field and need a PhD again. The applied math side doesn't have an advantage over engineering. So what exactly is your goal?[/quote]
