Im entering my senior year of Chemical engineering and there are a few people in my class that are 30+ and one guy that is 50+ and they have all done very well.
Just be aware that it is a very difficult major. If you work hard, most terms are manageable, but there will be a couple heavy terms...
Hi, I am just now finishing my junior year in chemical engineering. In my senior year I can choose a specialization and I am having trouble deciding between water resources/treatment or microelectronics.
Im interested in water because I really enjoyed fluid dynamics and mass transfer, and...
I used to be an environmental engineering major. In my sophomore I switched to chemical because its so much more versatile. A chemical engineering degree will make you qualified for all the environmental engineering jobs and much much more.
One thing to look at is to see which department the...
Thanks for the response. I think you are right. I'm just having a tough time deciding if I should go to grad school or not. I am really passionate about science and used to be on the grad school path. Now however, I have so many goals and interests outside of academia that I have decided to...
Hi, I am a Junior in ChE and I currently plan to go straight to work after graduating. I do however hope to one day earn at least a masters degrees, (perhaps a PhD if I am up for it)
My question is, does spending a few years working in industry give you any credentials for getting into a...
Well first off, you need to work on your written communication skills big time. They're pretty bad.
Second, please don't aspire to become a nerd. Theres nothing wrong with being a nerd but you must be true to yourself. No one likes posers.
Don't be too discouraged. They make that class harder then it needs to be in order to weed people out. Also realize, this is one of your first engineering classes and first time trying to solve problems of this nature. You are also being exposed for the first time to a lot of the fundamental...
Genentech? Are they not often rated as one of the best places to work? Are you just not satisfied there? That's like a dream job for a lot of people, depending on what type of position you have.
I had a similar problem my freshman year. I was afraid of approaching people.
I found out pretty quick though that its actually pretty easy and not scary at all. You're over thinking it. Just talk to people. There's no secret or anything else we can tell you. Just simply talk to people.
Turbo and Ryker, I think your both exactly right. Now that I think about it, I think I've spent too much time my whole college career trying to digest all I can out of the textbooks. I always spend a lot of time trying to understand all the theory and derivations. I think now what I need to do...
Thanks for the responses. I can't drop a class becuase they are all offered only once a year and my 3 engineering courses are required for senior year. I could drop p-chem, but then I would have to take it along with my senior classes, which are filled with projects and lab work.
I do most...
Hi everyone,
Im in my third year of studying chemical engineering. Its been ALoT of work so far, but its always been manageable and I've been able pass every class so far and I have a pretty good gpa (3.5). However, this current term is really killing me. I dedicate every waking moment...
There is no difference. It just depends on what position you get in the industry.
Petroleum engineering is almost the same as chemical engineering. In a petroleum engineering program you would take all the same classes as the chemE's, except you will substitute some courses with ones that...
