Problem sets + Applied Physics vs Mechanical Engineering for aero industry

Hi.
1) What do you think - which course is better to choose as one would like to work in aero industry after graduation? Is it necessary to go for Masters after BSc in Physics to get a decent job? I'm really stuck deciding which path to pick. Do you agree that huge part of ME course requires you to cram rather than conclude using logical thinking? (I'm currently in the 1st year of ME and sadly it's how it looks. Outside of the state - I'm not Irish) I would really like to know where forumlae came from. I don't wanna remember them, I wanna reason them. Do you think I should stick to ME or go for Applied Physics? Ofc, you will not decide my fate, but it'll be good to have some more opinions.

2) Could you provide some sample problem sets (assignments) from (Applied Physics)/ME at DCU? Would like to know what's the level of maths (is it calc or non-calc based?). Thanks.
