I'm going to get a BS in chem e from a top 30 engineering school, and I really want to further my education in polymers in the SF bay area (eg. stanford or berkeley). However, I'm worried about my GPA - 3.50 (3.61 eng core), and GRE score (148V, 154Q practice test that I rushed through in 1/2...
Chemical engineering topics like heat transfer, transport, separations etc. never really appealed to me. But I really like research, and I think R&D is the place for me in industry. In order to work in R&D, I need an advanced degree. But I'm currently trying to decide what's the best way to get...
I'm one semester away from finishing my bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at Iowa State. There are two main things on my mind right now: finding a job and relocating.
I have a 3.5 cum GPA (major GPA is like 3.7). But I have no internship experience, which is bad. For a long time, I've...
I'm a third year planning to graduate 1 semester early. Last fall, I took 18.5 credit hours and worked 2 jobs (paper delivery and research assistant). I was pretty wasted by the end of the semester. Subsequently, I got depressed the following spring semester and had to drop down to a part time...
I come from Asian ethnicity, and my parents constantly want me to switch from chem e to stats. from what they've seen, a lot of international students get a phd in something, and they can't find jobs afterward. The main concern for them seems to be to simply find a good paying job and settling...
I think I'll take your advice in meeting with my professor in discussing my performance in research. But as for the quoted comment, you're referring to EVERYONE who wants to apply for grad school, some of whom aren't even certain if it's what they really want, while some others are completely...
maybe I'll find myself a new professor this coming fall. I think it's really important that one or both of my recommendations come from my research professors.
I go to iowa state university. you be the judge on how big or prestigious it really is. I mean our college prepare its engineers for industry for the most part. not research. I don't really see how I'm doing quite well considering other people who will be applying for grad school in the future...
I'm an undergrad just finished my second year in chemical engineering. I have worked for a pretty prestigious professor (chair of the ch e department) for a year now. I don't think I made a lot of progress as far as results are concerned, primarily because I was very busy with classes during the...
I'm mainly concerned with Pluronic F-127.
I want to know it's molecular weight. On one source, it says that the molecular weight is roughly 12k Da. On the other hand, (and this is from wikipedia) it suggests that the 'F' stands for 'flake' or solid at room temperature, and the first 2 digits...
I'm a chem e undergrad btw. The professor I work for right now does his own stuff most of the time. the only times I'm in contact with him are the times I have a question, or I'm updating him with results.
This is my first research position, and I made a lot of mistakes in terms of organization...
I kind of know what you're talking about when you say something like fail to succeed. Not just with research, but with also other things.
But since we're talking about research, my experience with failure has been not being able to produce any practical and relevant results. I'm suppose to...
