Fields Graduate Undergraduate

AI Thread Summary

It is possible to obtain a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or materials science and then pursue graduate studies in nuclear engineering. Acceptance into a graduate program typically depends on the specific institution's policies and their willingness to consider candidates from different engineering backgrounds. Each university may have different prerequisites or requirements for admission into their nuclear engineering programs, so prospective students should research individual institutions to understand their criteria.

Is it possible for me to get a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or materials science, then go to graduate school from there to study nuclear engineering, or do you have to stay in the same engineering field throughout the entire period of study?

Depends on the institution and if they are willing to accept you or not.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Which branch of engineering is more physics heavy?'

I will be entering engineering but i want to do graduate studies in physics after it so im searching for the branch with most physics so it would be abit easier of a transition. Im trying to decide between nuclear engineering or electronics and engineering

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
