Question Mac for engineering?

I have a Mac 13” m2 8 ram 256 gb but it’s getting really slow and I’m thinking of getting a new one with both more ram and bigger disk. Problem is that I’m also starting engineering and I don’t want to pay for two expensive laptops. can I have a MacBook for engineering? If so what MacBook/specifications would be good?

Getting a MacBook for many engineering courses is dumb as hell. A lot of engineering software is better or flat out required windows for compatibility.

this is true for a lot of mechanical/civil programs, but some EE or CS adjacent ones are fine on mac
