Engineering General

Soon to be chem eng grad here. I'm interested in what Veeky Forums really thinks of engineering. Are you/have you studied engineering? Did you enjoy your degree? Are you able to find jobs? Do you regret choosing/not choosing engineering? Only positive vibes pls.

At what point did engineers become chad?

Are these cuckwad grad students so fucking weak that compared to them an engineer passes as a chad?

God I love this shit.

Should I do aerospace?

Planes are nice, always just enjoyed looking at them

From what I've heard the job market is garbage anywhere outside the US/Europe. You need to be very proficient with maths, physics and comp sci. The main issue I'd say with Aerospace is its specificity (same issue with mining/petro) vs. mech/software/civil/chem which have broader scopes. But I'm just a cuckwad () so what would I know.

I'm already stuck in the major actually, just wanted to know if I was fucked as I am not great with math so running a 3.0 GPA

At least it's in the US

Yeah, speaking from an Aus perspective the markets shit but given you are US idk. Most unis here run on a 7pt GPA scale (7 is 85% and max possible grade). Is a 3.0 good in US?

It's just a B average so 80%

Pretty fine for engineering, though maybe not aerospace since it's an elite subject

current stats for engineering studies here is about 86% of recently graduated students will get a job within a year with an average 3k+ euros/month starting salary. Just leave burgerland, its for the best.

Think you're smarter because pi=3 and you solve problems involving the double line symbol? Go suck a cock. Just because you'll get 2 more digits than me and endless bitches doesn't mean you'll be able to do the abstract thinking we superior physicists do on a daily basis for our work at McDonald's!

Arguably, the living conditions between europe and America are very different. America will give you more freedom and higher worth for your $ in raw material terms, while Europe will give you a higher quality of life at the expense of personal space and freedom. If you are the agreeable type who enjoys traveling and experience, Europe is the place for you. Meanwhile, if you are conservative and family-oriented, and like to be as independent as possible, go to the US.

>more freedom
Some regards yes, others no. Americans are the most jewed. Also America is 53% hopeless.

Can I go from bachelors in biochemistry to masters in chemical engineering? What are the research prospects in the field?

Wrong board
>>/lgtb/

Doing mech engineering and business double very comfy, enjoy it more than anything, having trouble finding work but that seems like the current job market. Sometimes I wonder if life would be better if I did Chemical engineering but who knows

You can get accepted, but the research you'll develop won't but much different from what you would do at a Biochemistry department.

I need to choose bachelors degree in about a month and I am torn between materials science, chemistry and biochemistry.

Why not a bachelors in chemical engineering?

I don’t think that I can go to masters level biomedical eng, nanoscience or biochem from chemical engineering.

it's a fuckign meme
web dev is literally the brainlet bin of programming.
but it's so easy and pays so good

You actually can.

All of them?

One thing you'll learn as you progress though uni is that the actual name of your degree doesn't matter too much as long as it's within the same area. Someone with a BSc in chemical engineering could easily continue their research in a materials science MSc program. Likewise, a math major could do their masters in finance since the fields overlap.

If you want to do a masters in biomedical engineering, nanoscience, or biochemistry, then obviously don't major in civil engineering. Still, look at the required coursework for the chemical engineering major compared to a masters courseload, and you should get a good idea of how to proceed.

EBIN!!!

That is lower than any starting engineering job though....usual range in US is $55k-100k+ per year, depending on location, type of engineering, and bachelors vs masters vs phd. That being said I would like to move to Europe but the immigration laws for amerisharts such as myself are tough, have to find a company willing to give a visa with no EU applicants

What's the difference between electric engineering and electronic engineering?

As far as I know electrical is broader, it includes electronics. Meanwhile electronic is more concerned about electronics.
For example inside EE there is Radio (electromagnetism), Optics, Photonics, Semiconductors, Control Theory, Signals and Systems, Power systems, Electronics, Micro-Electronics, MEMS, etc.
Meanwhile electronic engineering is probably more concerned with strictly electronics.

However, you should get the curriculum and compare, that's the sure way.

yeah, undergrad doesn't matter that much. i know people who went from physics to math and vice versa.

I study mechatronics Engineering. I fucking love this shit.

Yes US salaries might be higher but dollar-per-dollar someone making a 6 figure in the US is as rich as someone earning 75k a year in Europe.
Raw money doesn't mean a thing when alone you waste 20 or more grand for medical and automotive insurance, etc.

One is true engineering, the other is tech.

Yeah I should look into it.
I don't trust my country's Electical Engineering to actually be that for some reason

You misunderstood me a bit, you won't study all of that in an EE program, but there are specializations in EE which deal with stuff like that.
EE has a very broad range of specializations available, so electronic engineering sounds like just one of them and it's probably more restrictive.
That was my point. That's why you should check.

I'm going to be the first graduating class for computational engineering undergrad at UT. Is this degree a meme should I just switch back to computer science or is that more of a meme?

From a 10 second google of it, it sounds like it wouldnt be too bad. Seems like it is focused on simulation and modeling development which should be in demand for a while, if not forever. If I was in comp sci it is probably what I would focus on, but if you look other things go do those

By in demand I guess I mean it will always be around or important, not necessarily that there will always be a need for more people to come into the field as I dont have a clue of the current state of the field

Help a brother out!
I can't decide between computer engineering
and materials engineering.

Railroad engineering is the only nonmeme engineering. Choo choo!

materials has less jobs overall and will probably be less money, but it is a more interesting field imo

What are some other engineering degrees i could study after graduating from mech eng ?

yo fuck civil engineers

>N...NO!

>Math Major Professors: Omae wa moe shinderu
>Math Majors: NANI?

I would love to go to europe for work
T. Arab american

So much bullshit, both are fine desu
Just stay in your homeland if it was US/Europe and move to one of them if it wasn't, that's it.
