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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
(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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
