    Programs Materials Engineering Undergrad Reflection

    Hey Crys! Thank you for engaging with my post in a deliberate manner. 1) Transfer student, I did not have access to MSE courses until this year 2) Scheduling at my university is not easy, I have to make a decision between math or physics electives. I'm choosing math, because I figure I can...

    Programs Materials Engineering Undergrad Reflection

    But on the other hand, maybe I SHOULD treat university as a job placement program. College is expensive, and the economic future of my generation is uncertain.

    Programs Materials Engineering Undergrad Reflection

    I just completed my junior year of my Materials Engineering Bachelors. This is the first year that actually featured materials coursework, and I feel like I've learned things about my major that I wanted to share: I miss the physics and math of my couple of years. The theory, the "why" and...

    Courses Advanced Math for Computational Material Science Engineering

    I am an undergrad studying MSE in the US. I plan on going to grad school for MSE. I love math and am interested in Computational Materials Science, so I am seeking advice on how to prioritize classes. I'm planning on taking math courses related to numerical methods, ODEs, and partial...

    Is Solid State Physics a useful class for Materials Engineering?

    It is Materials Engineering, in the department of engineering, ABET accredited. US. I am coming up on the end of my junior year. I will likely be here for 1.5 more years. I took a general physics series and Modern Physics I, covering the Schroedinger equation, special relativity, etc. Math...

    Is Solid State Physics a useful class for Materials Engineering?

    My college does not have it as a requirement, it's an elective through the physics department. What do you think about that?

    Programs BS MSE + Math OR Physics Minor?

    I am studying to get a BS in Materials Engineering. I am learning a ton of useful skills (MATLAB, spectroscopy, materials testing), but I miss the theory in the math / physics classes I took during my first couple of years. I don't know if I would like physics or math more, I like them both. I...

    Physics Can Computational Physicists Find Good Jobs In Industry?

    I am a transfer student in the states, I am considering pursuing a BS in computational applied physics. I do not want a PHD in physics, but I do love the subject. For you computational physicists in industry, do you like your job? Are there future opportunities for someone pursuing a BS in...

    Programs Is a Physics BA a good route for exciting CS/Engineering Work?

    Hello, I'm a young student returning to college in my early 20s. I'm applying for bachelors programs in the US. I'm interested in a variety of fields, and I love to learn. I want to major in physics because of how broad and applied mathy it is, but I'm currently not interested in the time...
