Don't ask the internet a yes or no question about making an important decision in your life. Asking for guidance is fine. I would suggest talking with your undergraduate advisor, and also some people in the ChE department to understand what it is that distinguishes the two fields. Employment is...

I imagine it would depend upon the particular type of "dynamic environment, change all the time, new challenges all the time," that you need. I am not an engineer but I don't think I need to be in order to make this claim: These needs of yours neither exclusive nor inclusively provided for in...

I returned to school full time a year ago. I did one year part time at CC, then the 2nd year full time. I am now a 3rd year at UVa studying EE. I am about to turn 35. I had previously held management a management sales position with a company I had worked at for 9 years. I am working harder...

I am in introductory circuit analysis so my response is not intended to be the definitive answer... in your diagram, aren't the resistor polarities already assigned? jason

does it matter that the series is 1-relative? i.e. does one need to convert to make r^(n-1)? j

If I were to try to connect you to the career in "academic mathematics" from your first post, I wonder what kind of crazy, squiggly line it would take. Kerouic said it was a foolish, hEarth'side notion that one could follow a straight red line but I think you would make even him beg for a...

Yes. I had to give a presentation in my intro to engineering class and about 2 hours before class I went running to burn off some energy. I had time to shower before class and the presentation went very well - although I volunteered to go first which I hoped would reduce the increase in...

I am currently working on my BSEE and would consider myself, at the moment, more in your shoes than the shoes of any upper division engineering student. I started back at school about a year ago and would consider myself essentially no further ahead than you. I was not confident in mathematics...

Please congratulate your good friend for me. I hope you respect his achievement even if he does ask you basic questions. Perhaps he can help you with your math skills in trade for your car skills. jason

this will likely be my last post on the subject unless some opportunity to present something new emerges. If not, I feel I could not add anything to the thread without being repetitious. With that said, you deserve credit for originally mentioning weed, even though you now doubt whether or...

:smile: never give up. I understand the advice may feel over-the-top, but the thread topic is, after all, a "desperate situation." You are smart to seek advice. You are wise to follow it. good luck. jason

The subtlety of addiction... I don't know enough maths yet to check your work and you may have forgotten more material than I will ever know, however, whatever happens to you, I hope you come back here in a year or more and read your thread again. You may not be ready for the lesson yet...

Your school may have a process to allow for a withdrawl past the normal date under exceptional circumstances. This process exists in schools as there are situations where it is appropriate to allow a student a late or retroactive withdrawl. I suggest talking with your administrators to find...

age in engineering I am currently 33 years old and have been taking classes at night to pursue my BSEE. I am going full time in the fall and gave my current employer six months notice. I am giving up significant income in this pursuit. My projection has me finishing my BSEE in...

additional question Quote: Multiplying each part of the inequality by the negative number -1, 5> -(x-2)> 3 or 3< |x-2|< 5. |x-2|< 5. Question: I am having trouble understanding the concept behind a variation of this... for example, I do understand getting into the format of -1 < (x-2) <1...
