Basically, I took a bunch of credits at around age 19-23 and did not do so well. Most of these were gen ed. courses that I did not take seriously. I attribute that mostly to being young (I was focused on goofing off) and not knowing what I wanted with my life. At age 25 (I'm 26, almost 27 now)...

Actually I acknowledge the fact I'll probably need them at some point but I don't want to completely rely on them. I still have a good ways to go and I'll get another internship at some point.

To be honest that would mean me moving back in with my mom which I really would rather not do.

Some technical writing too.

As I mentioned in the post, that's only recently as the company has grown very quickly. I've been involved with experiments, data collection and analysis, failure analysis, and some small research projects.

For a little background, I am not a full time student. I am not a traditional student either. (I'm 26 and have about 2 or 3 years left before I finish my undergrad.) So money/time is a bit more of an issue for me since bills don't pay themselves. I also don't want to just quit and take out...

Right now I'm at an internship for a startup company. (I'm a chemical engineering major) I've been there for 6 months. Overall it's been great experience for me but lately since I am part time I'm being assigned to more and more mundane tasks. Things a secretary could do. They assign the real...

Thanks for the advice. Just curious, do you work at all?

I am so screwed

Within the next year, I'm transferring from the local community college to the state university to complete my BS in chemical engineering. Right now I have about 3.5 gpa in my lower division courses (math, chem, physics, intro engineering, etc). Obviously, I'm going to work as hard as I can to...

I'm going to strive for the highest gpa I can get. But I'm working part time as an intern (good experience) and it's going to be REALLY hard to get a 3.5 gpa I think. In order to do that I would need to not work at all but I don't know if I want to give up this internship :(

I am currently enrolled in a community college and I am a chemical engineering major. I plan on transferring to the local uni next fall (University of Utah if you are wondering). I would like to go to graduate school some day or at least keep the option open. The minimum gpa for the grad program...

I ended up getting the right answer, in which 30 watts was lost to radiation and then 60 watts to convection, to get the answer of h ~ 63 or so. (Yeah it's the convection coeffiecient, sorry about the typo) My question is though, is that if you have 90 watts of power flowing through that...

Homework Statement A 40-cm-long, 0.6-cm-diameter electric resistance wire is used to determine the convection heat transfer coefficient in air at 25 degrees C experimentally. The surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 150 degrees C when the electric power consumption is 90 W. If...

Homework Statement A 1.5-m^2 black surface at 120 degrees C is losing heat to the surrounding air at 30 degrees C by convection with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 18 W/(m^2 degree C), and by radiation to the surrounding surfaces at 10 degrees C. The total rate of heat loss from...
