Check out this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation The posts above summarize the information in the article, but nevertheless it explains pretty much everything and answers your question. I can recall that someone else in the forum wrote that naming different types of electromagnetic...

Thanks a lot eachus, you gave me nice examples and really helped me grasp what I should be looking for in such published materials. I will take a look again at the article.

Here I found a scientific article in the International Journal of Biological Sciences concerning a study on rodents fed with genetically modified organisms. Two of the GMOs, MON 863 and NK603, are approved by the European Food Safety Authority. Here are the links...

I know that I am a little bit off topic here, but may I ask are there any CAMPEP-accredited programs in Europe and if there are, in which countries/universities are offered?

How can they read your Facebook page ?

Way to go! Several of my classmates are also into programming, two of them are actually working part-time in firms. This is indeed very practical and beneficial for a CV, except that I never loved programming and I don't see myself working 40-50 hours per week writing code. Yes that's again...

May I ask you how do you make your physics education more industry-oriented ? Perhaps by taking more engineering elective courses, or choossing a related thesis statement ?

Thank you for your question, Niles. The problem is, it is very hard - near to impossible, especially with CE. With EE it is more realistic, but let's face it - if you want to work in industry and be competative then an Engineer diploma in BSc is a must. To relate to Niles' question let me share...

Hi, I am in the same position that you are in right now, except that I just completed a BSc in Physics and i want to start over with either EE or CE. I read the article you posted about job security, and if it is true, then i believe CE would be a little bit "safer" to choose. From what I...

Hello! I am 21 and I am currently a senior undergrad writing my thesis statement in Physics. I have pondered for quite some time what I want to do after I graduate and I have finally decided to go into Civil Engineering/Water Resource Engineering. Since its nearly impossible to do a Master's in...

Hello! Since this is my first post I would like to say I am happy that I joined PF and I will try to contribute as much as I can to this great community. So let's get down to the gist of the problem. You are standing 4m from a vertical wall and 0.8m from the ground. You have a bouncy ball that...
