    Engineering Engineering: Can a Physics Grad Make the Jump?

    Whelp I'm happy to report that I was offered job as a process engineer after applying to jobs all summer! I'm likely to take it and I think I got it because it's in a rather remote area but I like the area.

    Engineering Engineering: Can a Physics Grad Make the Jump?

    I'm looking at government jobs, specifically the navy, and it seems like there's some good entry level positions requiring only an engineering degree. Does anyone have any experience going that route?

    Engineering Engineering: Can a Physics Grad Make the Jump?

    I've had 2 interviews so far for engineer positions. The first declined to hire me and I'm still waiting on the second. I'm thinking about taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. For those who have taken it, is it realistically possible for someone with no 300 level engineering experience...

    As it is I have about 65k of debt. I don't want to add to that. I need to find an alternate career path perhaps.

Regarding MS programs, my GPA is pretty poor at university--2.69. But I was a transfer student and so my cumulative GPA is 3.16. Could I get into...

    Besides a brief stint as an IT Intern in high school, my work experience is limited to 7 years in my family's restaurant. I'm basically the kitchen assistant manager. I can program a bit: I know some python and a little java. My bad statics/dynamics experience I think was unrelated to the...

    Engineering Engineering: Can a Physics Grad Make the Jump?

    Hello, I'm a recent graduate with a BS in engineering physics but I basically screwed up with major selection. I should've done some kind of engineering, but I couldn't settle on a type and had a very poor experience in statics and dynamics, so I thought "what the hell I'll do physics". So I did...
