Hey our chemistry teacher has asked us to look at jobs that involve Chemistry, so as I want to be a mechanical engineer when I'm older I thought that I should look into Civil engineering. The thing is, is that I don't know why you have to study Chemistry could you tell me why? Thank you! Answers 1 Claire Elliott, Wake County Schools Answered Monday, June 30, 2014 at 2:03 PM Hi Briony! Your question is a great one! Mechanical and Civil Engineering are two branches of engineering that share many similarities. Both of them will require you to take a chemistry course (or two). In order to be an effective mechanical/civil ...
anonymous Added Friday, November 8, 2013 at 6:52 PM Can I go from biomedical engineering into another engineering field? Hi there, I'm a senior in high school currently applying to colleges. At first, I found the biomedical engineering path to med school to be very interesting, but I think I might change my mind in the more distant future. Suppose that once I've done my undergrad, I decide that I neither want to be a doctor nor do I want to be a biomedical engineer, and I decide to go to grad school for some other type of engineering. Is it possible for me to go from being a BME undergrad to, say, an aerospace ... Answers 2 Claire Elliott, Wake County Schools Answered Friday, November 8, 2013 at 6:52 PM Hi! That's a great question! Choosing a particular field of engineering can be a really difficult choice. Many colleges admit undergrads into "general engineering" when they first start college. You'll probably take many of your general ed courses during ...
