I'm currently a high school senior applying to colleges, planning to major in aerospace engineering. However, I am concerned about the job outlook and employment locations for the field. I was to work in a R&D department of a major cororation but also want to stay reasonably close to home (NY)...

Norman, how do you like WPI? I'm a high school senior looking to go into Mechanical/Aerospace engineering or Physics and it is one of my top choices.

Ok i have it up and running. Haven;t encountered any problems yet just trying to get it to interface with my ipod and gmail account

ok i downloaded the iso and burnt it to cd. Now i can't seem to install it. Whenever i try it asks for an application to open the files ANy thoughts would help.

I'm thinking of taking a computer science course this year at school. In order to take it, I need to take either C++ or Java as a co-requisite. Which one would help out with the ap computer science course the most? Also I'm pretty sure that the computer science course would help me out in...

Did anyone here go to Worcester Polytechnic Institue (WPI)? The more I think about it, the more that this school seems the place for me. Even though it is not as competitive as other schools like MIT, and Columbia: Fu, I like it better? Anyone have any stories about it?

Yea I'm definitely applying to Cornell, but that still is a really tough school to get into.

Does anybody know how colleges deal with ethnicity and demographic areas. I think that they should do it the same for everybody. IE: The admissions officers don't know where the applicants are from and what their ethnicity is.

I looove that site lol. I have not taken AP Chem, but I have Taken AP Physics BC and a'm taking AP Physics C and AP Calc BC this year. Do you think AP Chem is a necessity? I thought physics would be more important to engineering. Also I have heard that schools in the NorthEast don't take as...

That last post was kind of harsh lol. I'll look for it

The problem with those two schools is that they are not in the North East. It's not that I'm not MIT material, I have the standerdized test grades, GPA, and all the right courses/extracurricular activites, but I think it will still be hard to get in to. Any ideas on how to differentiate myself...

Well its that time of life where college applications start coming in lol. What schools do you guys consider to be good besides the Obvious MIT, CIT, Columbia? I'm looking in the North East and want a school that is mostly engineering. I'm positive that I want to be an engineer and almost...

I remember vaguely hearing about gravitons being observed in some university in June. Did this really happen and can anyone give me a link or some details about the discovery?

Exactly which Stewart book are you reffering to? I did an amazon search and came up with many different choices
