I met with the Chemistry Professor today and he wants a commitment until graduation. He said I should have a few papers, posters, and a possible talk by then. All his undergraduate students working for him have a few first author papers. I love my current job, but I have been questioning if...

I have worked with a professor within my Physics department for almost a full school year now on electron scattering simulations. I run some programs on my computer and analyze them with ROOT. This work has been rewarding as I have learned a lot, but I recently got offered a position in a...

I am interested in space exploration. Physics is more versatile, so I am thinking of going with it. With Physics I can go back to Engineering as well. What do you think? I will be talking to a Physics faculty member in a week when I get back to campus.

I am currently an NE major, but I am on the verge of switching to Physics at the start of my 2nd year. I have received B's in Calc 2-3 and in Engineering Physics I ( a massive weed out course) 120 students started out in that class, only 26 are registered in the 2nd Engineering Physics class(...

I suppose that the allure of space got me interested. I looked into lots of NASA missions and noticed that RTG's play a big role in many of them. This piqued my interest into nuclear space application.

I have no doubt that it can be dull as anything can be and I don't expect to be living a grandiose life. I do dream of making a difference in the world, but I know that to have research that ultimately has an affect or places my name in history etc is extremely rare. But is that not every...

I have always kept myself clean on everything for the purpose of being able to pass a security clearance. I don't even use Facebook for privacy. This decision is driving me insane (Physics vs NE)... I want to major in Physics to do original research that may one day have an affect on society...

What would you say is Nuclear Design Work? My biggest thing is that I do not want to work at a reactor... even the thought of that turns me off. I took a Mechanical Engineering Materials class last semester and that was the most boring and least interesting class I have ever taken. I...

What sort of work would a Physicist do as opposed to a Nuclear Engineer in terms of space?

I am pretty certain that I will be doing grad school because learning and researching has always interested me. Also Idaho State's Physics program boasts a 100% job placement after college over the past 5 years. However, you are saying that I could go from NE with a Physics minor straight into...

Would I be able to switch from Nuclear Engineering to a Physics graduate degree? I have read many posts on this site about going from other disciplines to Physics at the graduate level. I am not 100% sold on the NE degree, like I once was. It seems to have less research opportunities on...

Should I change my major to Physics and do Nuclear in graduate school? I have thought about doing this because the general Physics degree seems more versatile and makes more options available to me at the graduate level.

I am a sophomore (2nd year) at Idaho State University and am considering doing a minor in either Physics or Math, but I have not decided. I received a 3.55 GPA my first year. I want to attend graduate school after my B.A. and eventually pursue a P.h.D. I am interested in nuclear power in...

I am currently a nuclear engineering undergraduate. I was curious what the job perspective is with only a bachelors degree. How about with a masters? P.h.D? I will be graduating with a Nuclear Engineering Honors Degree in Science.

How would getting a graduates degree in NE change my perspective future in that field as opposed to going with only a bachelors?
