    Best route to go for Nano Technology (but still be able to get a job?)

    I'm planing on doing nano tech more related to computers and things related to them. So yea closer to electrical engineering. I mean I'm thinking ChemE undergrad with a few classes geared towards that, followed by a more narrowed down degree on the masters (maybe PhD?) level will work because...

    What to expect in 8-week calculus course 1 summer

    Don't worry Calc 1 is easy. if you get stuck go to khan academy the website/ youtube channel is very helpful. Everyone basically said what to expect already. I feel like Calc 2 is where it starts to "Get real". Hmm... if your teacher allows you to use a Ti-89 then it'd be super easy xD.

    Best route to go for Nano Technology (but still be able to get a job?)

    I want to go into nanotechnology but also keep my options open for employment purposes when I graduate. At the moment I'm Chemistry & Material Science double major and I thought that'd be a good combo however at the moment I'm thinking, would MatSci for a B.S be oddly too specific for a B.S...

    Programs Chemistry major: Organic Chemistry Seems Boring plus more rantty stuff

    Well that's good i really liked Linear Algebra and Calculus. I don't hate organic I like it at times but I feel like I have to force myself to some of the work and I feel like that's kind of bad seeing it is a course in my major. I do like the lab though. However quick question I often...

    Programs Chemistry major: Organic Chemistry Seems Boring plus more rantty stuff

    I'm taking Organic Chem 1 and 2 during this summer because I'm double majoring with Material Science but so far Organic 1 just feels a bit boring. Yes ofc I'm going to get an A in it but idk it's interesting but at the same time not. I mean High School Ap chem and College inorganic chem...

    Is material Science & Engineering more science than engineering?

    Thank you guys I have a better understanding of it. So my thought of it seeming broad is true which isn't a bad thing that means you'd have a lot of stuff to do xD

    Is material Science & Engineering more science than engineering?

    I'm double majoring in Chemistry / Materials Science & Engineering undergrad and I'm wandering yes it has engineering in the title but it also has Science as well. Is this engineering say more theory based than others? I read descriptions saying it designs metal alloys and everything like...

    Chemistry + engineering Or Math + engineering

    Maybe i didn't explain my situation well enough I'll end up with two degrees in this program. one being a degree from the university I'm at now (deciding between majoring math or chemistry ).Then the engineering degree from Columbia. so essentially: Degree from university I'm in now + a Degree...

    Chemistry + engineering Or Math + engineering

    So today a friend came up to me and said getting a chemistry degree is not worth it with engineering and I would you guys here at the physics forum to show me the reality of the degree situation. First let me start of my university dose the 3+2 two degree engineering program with Columbia, so...

    Material Science Engineering.What is it? Give me a good description.

    well, I am double majoring B.S Chemistry + (any) Engineering major atm. However it is my freshman year so I can always change my mind later on. What they do at the school I'm in is to satisfy all engineering pre-requisites (for Columbia) while getting a degree in anything in about 3 years then...

    Material Science Engineering.What is it? Give me a good description.

    Hmm, I mean since high school I've always envisioned myself in drug design, however creating new materials seem interesting too (and they also help people too xD). Seeing you said ""You get tons of the physics, and chemistry." That's also encouraging because Chemistry and Physics are my...

    Material Science Engineering.What is it? Give me a good description.

    So at the college I'm in I'm a freshman Chemistry + (any) Engineering major (don't have to decide on what kind yet). I was set on going Chemistry + Biochemical engineering but when I went to my adviser he told me maybe think of becoming a Material Science Engineer. He said something along the...

    Schools What colleges should I consider for physics?

    I had mostly the same academic achievements (couldn't take Ap Physics because scheduling conflicts). I did a bit less on the sports and I am Male :D. however I looked for colleges that had a great Chem program and a strong Physics program seeing I am interested in both. (Oh btw I graduated HS...

    Hi Deciding Upon Biochem or Physics (if physics wants to do Particle)

    I just thought basic physics is too well idk, maybe too easy( I only did Algebra based)? I kind of liked satellite motion, Gravity problems where you have to calculate it on diff. planets,and maybe reflection/refraction of light. Also I was kind of disappointed that we didn't go over anything...
