    Schools Curious for your input to accept my graduate school offer

    Good point: Interest/fulfillment, I definitely find nuclear sciences quite interesting and I view nuclear energy as something very worthwhile to spend a large portion of my life contributing to. My experiences in the software field as so far limited to school and enterprise business software...

    Schools Curious for your input to accept my graduate school offer

    I'm currently actually a first year masters student in Software Engineering at a small state school in Wisconsin, but my Bachelor's is in Physics w/ a computational emphasis from the same school. For an undergrad, I had a fairly large amount of research experience in nuclear physics (2...

    Engineering Physics vs. Applied Physics

    Thank you both for the responses. Caldweab, I 100% agree it's a great school but I would argue somewhere like MIT would be slightly better. Perhaps I am succumbing to a popular case of referring to its reputation and it wouldn't make much of a difference given I was doing good research. But in...

    Engineering Physics vs. Applied Physics

    Hi all, I'm currently an undergraduate going into my third year enrolled in a 3/2 dual degree physics/engineering program at a state school in Wisconsin. This will be my last year studying physics and I will then transfer over to UW-Madison to study nuclear engineering. I am particularly...

    Engineering The Truth About Nuclear Engineering vs. Physics (Employability)

    That's a very good point, I shouldn't specify this project/field as uninteresting, everything, engineering included, has a degree of disinterest involved. I suppose it's the direct impact it has vs. that of nuclear power would have that gets me. Like you said, I, too, hold the opinion that an...

    Engineering The Truth About Nuclear Engineering vs. Physics (Employability)

    Hey everybody, so I've been going through a bit of a dilemma and have done a kind of ridiculous amount of personal research on this including talking to people and looking at jobs/programs etc. I'm looking for another opinion, hopefully unbiased (disappointingly difficult for me on this it...
