Abstract
This paper addresses the synergy between engineering and physics education, highlighting how applying physics principles and concepts in engineering projects can significantly enrich STEM education. Innovative pedagogical approaches that foster a deeper understanding of physics by solving practical problems and integrating theory with practice are discussed, thus promoting more effective and meaningful learning in engineering. The main results show that, despite the inclusion of new technological strategies in the engineering career, it is not advisable to eliminate the teaching of physics in the engineering education curriculum and that, on the contrary, it is essential to reinforce these theories.
