Amber Brown Added Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at 10:36 PM I am struggling finding my niche in engineering, I love the math aspect but also love the environmental and public aspect. I am currently majoring in civil engineering with a 3.7 accumulative but math Is my thing and I don't get tired of it. I found that choosing the project management aspect of engineering limits me to be more in charge than doing the technical aspect of things. I want to make a difference in this world, but am starting to worry that engineering is limiting in that retrospect. I want the civil aspect of our world to grow more environmentally conscious but don't find the environmental engineering ...

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 ...
Sally Kimberley asked Lauren Olsen, Collins Aerospace Added Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 4:19 PM What are some good books on Science and Engineering? Answers 1 Lauren Olsen, Collins Aerospace Answered Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at 5:52 PM Hi Sally! I'm so sorry I didn't see your question until now! I think by far, my favorite "engineering" book is, "The Martian" by Andy Weir. I say "engineering" because it is a fiction book, yet it touches on so many similar experiences that I've had in ...

Devang Sankhala Added Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 11:37 AM Are electric cars fuel-efficient and how will it affect the future? I recently read that EV battery energy density is way lesser than gasoline. Also, most of the power generated today is from non-renewable sources which falsifies all green energy claims. Whereas even though gasoline to motion energy conversion is 33% efficient, it is easy to refill and causes pollution only in localized areas. I am not a proponent of either technology but I am curious to learn how things may pan out in future. Answers 0
