Theoretical Thermodynamics and Statistic Physics is different from applied thermodynamics. The latter is fiiinnnneeee. The former is mind melting. I don't know how deviously engineers get tortured. The gloves come off for physics students for sure.

    Engineers probably don't get it that hard. Like 90% of the thermodynamics stuff was using those little tables with the crooked rectangles (it's been like 25 years, I don't remember what they are called).

    Plus MEs are like a weird "Jack of all trades" for stuff. We did a little Civil Engineer, a little Electrical Engineering, a little Physics, a little Chemistry, but none of it goes super super deep. And I don't think it's as reversed for these individual things. Like, at least at the time, I could do "basic to mid CE and EE stuff, but I don't think CEs and EEs could do anything but CE and EE stuff.
