Unless your primary interest is in specific opportunities, choose the language that you find most culturally/acoustically/grammatically appealing. My choice would be Spanish...
If your primary interest lies in speaking with your family, I'd suggest picking up some audio cds/podcasts to get a...
Long story short, I'm pursuing a second degree (u.s.) in engineering after having received my B.A. in the liberal arts. I also have some graduate-level credits.
My concern right now is getting some work experience while in school. I do have some technical skills under my belt, but I'm...
If you keep your options open, I think there will be many opportunities in civil engineering.

While it is probably the most populated engineering major, there is a lot of work. And as Wax noted, the stimulus plan will help.
The biggest...
I am currently pre-engineering in the U.S. and should begin a specialization soon. I am leaning heavily toward EE, but have some trepidation after looking at various employment aspects of EEs after graduation.
Looking at statistics like the OLS OOH and second-hand reports, it looks like EE...
If you are facing the prospect of $100k in debt, do look at community college for the first two to four semesters of your college career.
There's no need to pay $25k/yr to learn the basic math/physics requirements you'll need and the smattering of humanities courses you'll probably need to...
HallsofIvy and aznshark4 are correct in their reasoning.
First, just to be a finicky arse, unless those 200 subjects were randomly selected, so there was no significant difference between them, would the experiment be properly conducted. I'm willing to bet that testees in this DOD...
To answer the question on error and observables...
ε in this regression model refers to the unobserved error of the data. In the true model, it represents all the factors that the experimentor cannot see or account for. In many models, it is assumed ε is uncorrelated with X and that E[ε]=0...
I am in a similar situation, but from the U.S.
I have a B.A. in the social sciences, but am pursuing a new career in engineering. I do have a bit of math/stats under my belt, but need many, many more courses for this new field of study.
I have decided to finish up the basic pre-reqs at a...
I did my first two years of education at a California CC. There are different things to take into account when going to a CC:
Pros:
--It's cheap. Live at home/cheap in-town apt, pay very low tuition rates, work part-time with CC's forgiving schedules.
Cons:
--You may lose out on some...
In graduate school, I studied a lot of econ/stats, both of which required a lot of math. It wasn't until grad school that I realized the most important variable input in success was work.
Only a small fraction of people can actually listen/read material once and apply it. For the rest of...
