    Mechanical Engineering student about to lose his mind

    It is definitely normal to feel that way. I felt that way when I was an engineering student. Its easy to forget methods that you learn in classes if you don't use them on a daily or weekly basis. It seems that you have retained a good understanding of how to apply these methods because when you...

    Programs 1st undergraduate degree affect admissions for 2nd?

    Student 100, Thanks for the input. I'm doing a lot of self studying to brush up on my math skills and using that as better guide to see if I really want to do this and am capable of the mathematical rigor involved. I'm going through "Boas, Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" right...

    I was thinking that maybe retaking calculus I, II, & III and performing better the second time around, would would help my application for undergraduate admission, and improve my transcript when I eventually apply to graduate school. I know some CCs also offer calculus based Physics I & II which...

    Programs 1st undergraduate degree affect admissions for 2nd?

    Thanks for the replies! I guess I should send out some emails and see what the programs I'm interested in say. I would hope that after some years of experience in nuclear engineering, and probably the retaking of some courses for transfer credit at a CC would benefit my applications.

    Programs 1st undergraduate degree affect admissions for 2nd?

    Hi, I'm a recent graduate from a civil engineering program in the US and got hired as a civilian nuclear engineer for the navy. For various reasons, I would sooner or later like to go back to school to study physics and go on to get a phd. I am afraid that already having an undergraduate degree...
