Hey all, Well for my senior project my class has to construct a mini grid. It will be connected to 3 renewable energy sources. My team is in charge of the connections to the grid and the energy sources. My team has decided to use a PIC micro controller to interface to the other groups. I am...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to be posting this question, but since it is related to school I hope it will do. I am currently a senior in high school and I am required to write an 8-10 page paper on a topic of my choosing. The main requirement is that I must argue a point...

I currently have all credits completed for a B.S. in Biochemistry from the department of Biology at a top 50 university with a 3.2 GPA. I'm staying this last year to finish my few remaining GE requirements. However, I am deeply dissatisfied with my degree. I've spoken to other biological...

I am a senior Physics/Math major. I want to go to grad school (99% sure) but I am not ready to start immediately after undergrad, I hope to bike to and live in South America next year. My question is, how harmful will this be to my chances at getting into a top tier physics Pd.D. program the...

Hi, I am having a hard time figuring out an idea I can use as my senior project in High School. I am currently in an Honors level physics class and the school year has just begun so we haven't learned much yet but. I am very interested in physics. So if anyone could help me with some ideas it...

Hello everyone! I have recently decided that I want to pursue a career in software engineering, but the problem is that I haven’t taken many courses in it. I’ll briefly describe where I’m at now: I’m a senior physics major, and I had originally planned on doing some sort of medical physics or...

Hi all, I am an EE senior in college and am taking a senior design course this semester before I graduate. It involves either choosing to undertake an educational project that one of the class professors suggests or using one of our own ideas. The course lasts a single semester and we are in...

thanks everyone I found an answer

Good evening, I am in high school (well we would have called it secondary school but I'm assuming most of you are Americans) in Ireland, I will be a senior (Americanism again.. :p) next year (i.e. finishing in 2011) and I have a keen interest in science (particularly physics) and mathematics...

Hi I'm a sophomore and I'm barely getting into research now. I plan to do an REU next summer , Junior year, and one after that, Senior year. Do grad schools even get to look at what you did Senior year summer? If so, that would mean we basically only have 3 summers to do research. freshman...

Currently, I'm a junior Biology/Studio Art major who became disillusioned by the allied health field very early on and then the biological research field very recently. I have been looking for something else to do with my life, but every subject (psychology, English, chemistry, biology, history...

I'm a 4th year college student who has studied 2 years of sociology, and 2 years of film. With summer studies, I could graduate this fall with an SOC. degree, but have little interest in doing this other than that I would have a B.S. to mark up my resume. I have been thinking long and hard, for...

The best I could possibly get in with all my effort (whether this is be the #5 CS grad school in the nation, or #40, does not really matter.. as long as I take the most optimal path there and do it ethically). I was wondering what aspects the best/better CS grad schools look for in a college...

Hello all, I'm a senior in Engineering Physics, about to graduate in May with a bachelors, and I'm looking for a job. I'm not sure where to look. What kinds of companies hire people like me (especially companies in Illinois)? The classes I've taken include the basic physics core (mechanics...

Hey everyone, I'm currently a high school senior and I was just wondering if there was anything I could do this upcoming summer to help boost my application for graduate school. I know it is way far down the road, but seeing many of you guys report on how difficult it is to get into a top 5...

Hi everyone. So I am almost a senior math student. The senior year is obviously difficult and the classes small, and I was worried that I am not going to be friends with any of the other senior math students. This means I will be working on my own as opposed to in a group like the other...

Our group has come across a few iinteresting ideas. We would really like to do something with aviation and control, but it needs to be more on the EE side than the CSE side where there's a lot of programming that can be done... ANY IDEAS in general much appreciated... FOR those of you who...

I will be going into my senior year of my engineering physics major with a minor in mechanical engineering and mathematical science. I have made posts in Nuclear Engineering, and Clerk[patent] jobs, etc. because I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate. I'll have to admit, money is...
