AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from mechanical engineering (MechE) to petroleum engineering (PetE) through a master's program is feasible by completing the necessary prerequisites. Pursuing a bachelor's degree in MechE provides a broader job market, and specializing with a master's in PetE can enhance career opportunities in the petroleum sector. Engaging with a graduate advisor is crucial for understanding specific program requirements and potential pathways. The discussion emphasizes that obtaining a second bachelor's degree is unnecessary, as a bachelor's in MechE followed by a master's in PetE is a more strategic approach.

Is it possible if you just take the prerequisites at your grad school to hop from mechE to petroleum? I'm thinking if I go for mechE instead of aero for a broader job market that specializing my ms in petE might be a good idea.. What do you think?

A second bachelor's degree is pointless.

I said a BS in mech engineering.. and "MS" in pet engineering..


thats a bachelors and masters.. that would be helpful.. wouldn't it?
 
You'd have to speak with a graduate advisor. That industry would have mechanical, civil, and chemical engineers of various sorts. Your school (or other schools with similar programs) should be able to help you with this more than we can.
 

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 '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.
