Ari Added Monday, January 8, 2024 at 7:24 PM Is Engineering the right field for me? I've been interested in chemical engineering, particularly cosmetic chemical engineering, for some time now. I felt like this pathway would have been good for me as I enjoy science and math and like the lifestyle that it could provide (work, family/life balance, flexibility, hands-on, salary, etc). I'm a little conflicted because I often hear that university, especially the first year, is incredibly difficult and stressful, and I'm afraid that this career choice might leave me with little ...

Vera Added Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 8:59 AM Can you still a pursue a degree in engineering without being good with math? I used to be one of the best in my math class but then I switched schools and my average grade the last two years before graduating was a C (in exams) & D (participating in class). Since the sudden drop in grades took away my passion for mathematics, I am not interested in the subject as much as I used to as a kid. Now, I'm mostly interested in chemical / mechanical engineering. Answers 1 Christine Frazier-Hollins, Chevron Answered Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 11:04 AM Let me start by acknowledging that changing schools is tough. It seems simple on the outside, but it takes time to resettle yourself and find your groove. Mathematics is an underlying component to nearly all of engineering. There are many types of math ...

Kelly, Florida Added Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM Choosing between civil and chemical engineering I am interested into becoming a Chemical engineer or a civil engineer but I'm not sure if it will be fun or not. I am usually a creative person who enjoys solving problems. When I ask my family they always say do whatever you want. Which do you recommend more and why? Answers 1 Christine Frazier-Hollins, Chevron Answered Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 5:51 PM All branches of Engineering have their pluses and minuses. Often you won't get a true feel for what a discipline offers until you've experienced the coursework and even more so when completing internships. Without knowing you and your skills specifically ...
Tremayne, Portmore, St. Catherine, Jamaica Added Wednesday, December 23, 2015 at 10:53 PM physics in chemical engineering Hi :) I have been interested in nothing but chemical engineering because I looove math. However I haven't done much physics. I've only done the basis in it. As a requirement for the engineering course at a university in Jamaica, physics at the advance level, A level, is a necessity. However since I know someone in the Faculty I will get in regardless. My question is will it be a challenge doing this degree in Chemical engineering and not having knowledge of physics? And will I have to do a ... Answers 1 Christine Frazier-Hollins, Chevron Answered Wednesday, December 23, 2015 at 10:53 PM Hello Tremanye – Thank you for your question! Engineering is the application of the pure sciences. Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc., all work together to form the various forms and facets of Engineering. Although we say “Chemical” ...
Savana, SC Added Monday, March 2, 2015 at 9:53 PM Do I stand a chance when it comes to harder engineering classes? First time posting on here, and hopefully some of you will respond. Here is some back round: I just transferred into a top 25 public university from a technical college. I am currently enrolled in their general engineering program, and have had plans (up until now?) to major in ChemE. I transferred in with a near 3.9, having taken Calc 1-3, Chem 1 and 2, and some other gen eds. As far as the ChemE curriculum goes at my new school, I am a few engineering classes, and 2 physics classes short ... Answers 1 Christine Frazier-Hollins, Chevron Answered Monday, March 2, 2015 at 9:53 PM Dear Savana: In my experience Engineering school has been a test of perseverance. It is not a curriculum for the faint of heart, nor is it for those who cannot accept failure or learn from their mistakes. Being an Engineer is about solving problems – ...

Rayhana, Dhaka Added Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 1:17 AM Choosing between a job and graduate school Hi, I am Rayhana. I am in a bit of a dilemma. I am in my final year of B.SC in chemical engineering. I completed 6 credits in petroleum engineering because I really wanted to get a masters in petroleum engineering. But in a campus recruitment I got a accepted as a management trainee in supply chain at Unilever. It is a very well paying job. Now I also have the opportunity to go to Texas A and M for a masters in petroleum engineering but it will cost me about $12500 per year which I will need to ...
