    Engineering Question regarding Electrical Engineering fields

    I more or less have the same intentions, but I guess the only difference is that I am looking at chemical engineering. To be honest, nanotech is a very broad term and is made up of many different disciplines. I would think that when dealing with matter on such a small scale it would be in the...

    Engineering Engineering Physics: Jobs & Course Load

    I am at the same crossroad. I am still in my freshman year, but I am preparing for my sophomore year transfer to the University of Illinois in Urbana, and I have been having difficulty deciding between engineering physics and (chem/elec) engineering. One option you can do is to double major in...

    Finding jobs for the government/labs/universities

    Good evening PH, I am currently a freshman in college preparing for my third semester, and I know I am looking into the future here, but I have a few questions that hopefully you all can answer. After I complete my bachelors I hope to attend grad school. I intend on double majoring in an...

    Discover the Top Engineering Types and Their Unique Specializations

    Taking the time to list every engineering discipline as well as summarizing them would take awhile, so I found a site that lists most, if not all, engineering disciplines. http://www.top-engineering-schools.com/types-of-engineering.html After going through the list you may find a few that...

    Questions about Robotics - Universities, Pre-requisites, Opinions, Career, etc.

    A few years ago I had the same interest in robotics and I found a few schools that actually have robotics as a major, but if I were you I would go through the engineering route, and with that in mind it would probably be Electrical Engineering, and then probably in grad school you can become...

    Engineering Chemical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering

    The problem I have with bioengineering is that it seems to be more medically based and doesn't seem to involve nanotechnology from the brief research I have done(5min on google). Although one of the main goals is curing cancers and diseases and things of that nature, I also want to be able to...

    Engineering Chemical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering

    I intended on having dual majors, preferably with one science major and one engineering major. (EE and chem for example) so that way I could have both sides covered. I didn't want to major in nanotech because since its so specific. Where as if I majored in EE and something else it would give me...

    Engineering Chemical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering

    You both make great points, and maverick I understand completely about what you are saying, my fear was that by choosing one I would be missing out on something from the other. I want a blend of science/technology that can benefit medicine so that's where I picked out EE and ChE, it just seemed...

    Engineering Chemical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering

    (thanks for the clarification) To be more specific, I want to get involved with drug delivery, cell repair machines, nanobots, medical imaging, and nanobiotechnology. So would that fall under chemical engineering or electrical? As I understood it, current medical nanotechnology is chemistry...

    Engineering Chemical Engineering Vs. Electrical Engineering

    As you can tell from the title, I am curious to the advantages/disadvantages of majoring in Chemical engineering or Electrical engineering in regards to nanotechnology, as well as other job opportunities if nanotech doesn't fall through(currently a freshman in college). I recently read a thread...

    Med School vs. Grad School: Weighing the Pros and Cons for Aspiring Scientists

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am in my first semester of college. I know I have ways to go before I have to decide on anything, but since I am planning on transfering to a university ( at a community college), I am just trying to get an idea of where to go and what to do.

    Med School vs. Grad School: Weighing the Pros and Cons for Aspiring Scientists

    So far I have decided in working in either medicine or technology, with the intention of helping people. As far as technology, I planned on majoring in chemical engineering and going to grad school for nanotechnology, and trying to use nanotech to help fight cancers/diseases etc. My other option...

    Engineering Best language to learn for a career in science/engineering?

    Although most people speak English, I am curious as to which language would be most beneficial while I pursue a science/engineering career. I do not plan on staying in the U.S. so I was wondering which language would help me the most. Also, which country/city/nation or whatever you want to use...

    Bachelors in physics enough for nanotechnology

    Which major would be best for a future in nanotech? I know that an undergrad in biology, chem, or physics is good enough to get into grad school fr nanotech, but I want to know which major would really prepare you for a successful career in nanotech. Wouldn't chemistry and chemical engineering...

    Bachelors in physics enough for nanotechnology

    Good question, never gave it much thought. I am not sure which one though, or if it is both.
