I graduated in 2016 with my Physics BS and Electronics Engineering BS. Ever since I started the physics major I knew I wanted to go into a research and development job like at a lab. Not really interested in being a teacher except maybe college since professors have opportunities for doing their...

Hi all! Previously I wrote about the SULI internship. I was wondering if anyone had any insight about the R&D internship at Patagonia. Currently filling out my application and I think my essays are pretty good, and pretty unique. Thanks again!

Hi Recently my company has wanted to conduct waste testing to determine the composition of the wastes in concentration or wt%. This testing will help us to determine whether there are any excess chemicals in the feed of the process, which in turn can also be used to identify the effective...

I am going to graduate this year with a bachelor in electrical energy engineering, i am very passionate about designing and fixing problems, i would love to work in the R&D department of some multi-national company, but i don't know where to start. What qualifications do they usually ask for...

I've always been fascinated with space and space travel and want to see humanity advance in that area. I've always thought the best way for me to contribute is to work in research and development for propulsion systems (which I'm interested in), however, my main passion in physics is...

Hello, Me and my friend are both in 7th grade and we want to do aerospace and defense R&D. My friend knows just about everything there is to know about firearms and knows a lot about Tanks as well. I am knowledgeable about physics and aerospace engineering and have been studying them at an...

I am currently working on a paper studying the different types of writing done in the research and development field. I was hoping to talk to someone who is currently employed in that field about different aspects of their job. Is there anyone who would be willing to help me with this?

Hello. I need some advice and I don't know where to turn to. I'm currently an Applied R&D Engineer and my job is almost split between electrical hardware design engineering and embedded software engineering. About 6 months ago, after a lot of thought, I decided to switch jobs. I been working at...

Greetings, I am a master's student in engineering at Koç University(İstanbul/Turkey) and my bachelor's degree is in Physics from Middle East Technical University(Ankara/Turkey). After I finish my master's I would like to pursue a career in industrial R&D abroad; however, it seems that my...

Which research areas for a PhD in Physics may lead to good positions in the Industry's R&D? Please, excuse my English and thank you for any suggestion.

What courses can I pursue after my undergrad education that will enable me to work on next gen nuclear technologies? What kinds of people work in these areas and what career paths do they choose? I've read a lot about the different kinds of people working on Gen 4 reactors(LFTRs, TWRs) and...

I graduated last spring with a degree in Applied Physics and minors in biomedical engineering and mathematics. I recently was accepted to the Masters of Engineering in biomedical engineering at Colorado State University but am looking eventually to move into the M.S. program or possibly even a...

What can I, as an undergraduate engineering student, do to increase my chances of being able to get into a R&D job? I'm interested in working in the medical devices or biotechnology industry. Besides doing undergraduate research, what else can I do?

Hi guys, I wonder in the R&D department of companies like Google, IBM, Sony, ... Do they allow their employees to use the internet when working? Some people argue that: because of the confidential requirements, these companies often prohibit internet in their R&D department. However, I...

At first, I thought that a Bioengineering major followed by a Biomedical Engineering Masters or PhD would be the obvious choice. And then I found http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/1534864-career-prospects-bioengineering-bio-medical-engineering-5-years.html in which an...

I have gained a place on the graduate rotational leadership programme at a major heavy industrial company which involves me going to different divisions to lead projects. I have been given a choice of either going down the R&D path or the Operations Management path. Being an engineer from a top...

Hey guys; I am new to the forums. I am an effects artist who's working a Rigid Body Dynamics project and I may be able to use some of you guys' expertise while I'm building these simulations. As I stated above, I'm doing R&D for a deformation system I'm working on. What I want to do is...

Although I asked a similar question two days ago, I'm still seeking an (biased would be nice) answer. So far Physics major seems like the right choice, Physics is still my passion. But, there are always "buts", I would like a major more applicable in the real world. My major choices are...

Chemical engineering topics like heat transfer, transport, separations etc. never really appealed to me. But I really like research, and I think R&D is the place for me in industry. In order to work in R&D, I need an advanced degree. But I'm currently trying to decide what's the best way to get...

Hi everybody, I have an engineering degree in Instrumentation&Controls and I worked on engineering positions in my country(Eastern Europe) in oil&gas industry for several years.Those were mainly field(on site) jobs but I'm interested in R&D work.I've had enough of maintenance and fixing,now...

I'm currently dong my undergrad in EngPhys (Nuclear) at McMaster. I've been thinking about where I'd like to work after I'm done school. I think that I'd be more interested in R&D, particularly around the nitty-gritty physics and GenIV technology. What companies would be good to look at for...

I read a lot of stuff in the threads of this forum,especially related to PhD,prospects after grad school,R&D work and so on,focused on PhD and R&D.Many people here give just general replies-vapidity without any concrete useful information...like bla-bla-bla 'don't get PhD just for career...

R&D job without PhD? Colleagues, Is it possible to get R&D position without PhD holding?First of all,I'm asking about Physics and Electronics/Electrical Engineering.Who knows any precedents?

Hi everybody, I'm a new-comer on this phorum.I got a lot of interesting info while reading here but there are some questions which I didn't find answers for,so I want to moot them to get your advice,guys. Lemme say about myself a little bit.I'm not a US citizen and living...

I am aware of the job description for an academic professor: research, lectures, grants etc. but i am curious about the full job description of someone doing R&D in industry, and how the two compare. any insight?

I'm starting my final year as an EE major (undergrad) and I've been thinking lately about the kind of job I'm going to be looking for after graduation. The more I think about it, the more I think that R&D is where I would eventually want to end up. Management isn't for me, I could do it if...

What is your research and development topic? My topic is Electromagnetics & Physics of semiconductor devices/semiconductor Physics.
