Absolutely, yes! Whether it's about making devices work and last inside the human body or predicting battery life using Arhenius models, you'll definitely need a good understanding of physics.

Based on what I can deduce, my background in a different engineering field has shown me that you typically start with general undergraduate physics. Once you delve into your specific major, the physics becomes integrated into the wider subject matter. Take for instance, Reliability Engineering, which combines statistics and physics to model the dependability of various systems.
In your case, you'll likely begin with basic physics before moving onto something more specialized like biomedical instrumentation, which would incorporate physical components.
