is there an equal subjective emotional experience to The Dean for Physics in Atlas Shrugged?

[atlashead]

The Dean is the only time we see Roark's technical ability.  Having finished my physics education (of course there might be more to learn) I wonder if there is also a subjective emotional experience for Physics (+ chem ;))

edit: FIGHT as HARD as YOU CAN for your education-it is the MOST VALUABLE THING IN EXISTENCE
It's SO worth it.  I didn't catch rivets, I went to Structural Steel welding classes & metallurgy.  I poked a hole in a math quiz.  I picked my intro level structural professor's brain for graduate level stuff
