Can Chem E students incorporate programming into their studies?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around selecting a fourth class for a fall schedule that includes Chemistry 1, Calculus 1, and an introductory engineering design course. The participant is seeking suggestions outside of Mechanics/Physics 1, considering options like programming classes, especially since they have already completed humanities and English requirements. They confirm that they do not need to fulfill a Biology course requirement, having completed physiology and anatomy. The conversation also touches on the role of programming in chemical engineering, questioning how extensively chemical engineers utilize programming skills in their work.

Here is my schedule for the fall.

Chem 1
Cal 1
intro to engineering design.

I need a fourth class that isn't Mechanics/physics 1. Any ideas?

What about your University requirements that are not related to you major? You need some humanities or history classes too don't you?

If you really want a STEM class, maybe a programming class.
 
I am in a Community college and I have already finished my humanities. I am also finished with my English. All there is left to do are math and sciences. Programming is an interesting one; don't know why I haven't thought of it? Any other suggestions?
 
Do you need to fulfill a Biology course requirement?
 
No. I've gone as far as physio/anatomy and I believe that's as far as required. Math, science and the designing classes are all there is left. I've never taken art, that's what some of my friends are taking.

Do chem Es actually program and if so, to what extent?
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
