    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    If I had no interest in Engineering nor Physics I would have definitely pursued Statistics all the way. now i suggest combining statistics and computer science, then have a shot at data mining. My statistics professor stresses that it is on the rise and he underlines that every chance he gets ^u^

    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    Nice, good on you to have that profound personal insight. I am 2 years into Chemical Physics and it is rigorous as hell. I unfortunately jumped into it when I wasn't yet mature on a mathematics standpoint and problem-solving standpoint. but that was 2 years ago.

    I really depends on yourself and the kind of student you are. It will definitely take longer to complete the degree, though at the same time you are less likely to burn out. Also it will cost you more in the long run enrolling in more semesters as fixed rate student fees and activity fees (for...

    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    I am a Chemical Physics major for two years now, and now I think I will be switching majors to Chemical Engineering or Engineering Physics. For my University, the average courseload engineering students take is around 6 or 7 courses. That is insane! I have only at most done 5 courses in one term...
