As a future chemical engineering major who hopes to eventually build a global company in innovative consumer products or cosmetic chemistry, what skills, college courses, and early experiences should I prioritize to best prepare for both the technical side of engineering and the entrepreneurial/business side of launching a startup?

I'm currently a high school senior applying to study chemical engineering in university. My interest in this field grew out of ordinary moments: my mom worked in retail when I was little, so I grew up surrounded by shelves of beauty products, and in high school I started my own small nail...

What strategies can I start learning now that will help me create an inclusive, safe, and emotionally supportive classroom for students with disabilities?

I want to be a Special Education and I really excited to do that, but sometimes I feel like I am a little behind on the learning I should start doing before I am in the classroom aside from the classes I am already taking in college.

With all the new laws, I am concerned about how to become a Physician Assistant while I cannot take it out in loans. Are there any physician assistants out there with any advice to get through school with little to no loans?

I have a chet account, but it will not get me to my master's degree. People say that private loans are bad so im pretty scared of those. Help!

Hello! I hope everyone reading this is doing well. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Connecticut studying Biomedical Engineering. I am planning my future schedules and want advice in choosing a concentration and minor. My school requires BME majors to select a concentration. I am torn between the two concentrations; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (first conc.) and Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation (second conc.). I am also looking into minoring in Electronics and Systems, and most of the courses required to complete this minor overlap with the Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation concentration. Electronics and systems has been something that I have been interested in for a while, so this pair is calling out to me the most as of late. This past summer, I participated in a practicum where I explored both bio-signals and biomechanics. During this practicum, I was able to build a 3D printed robotic hand while investigating various methods of body-machine interfacing for prosthetic control. Most of the work I focused on was working with flex sensors (which we made) and making things like an instrumentation amplifier, an active band pass, and full rectifier, which were used to make an electromyograph. This experience reignited my passions and curiosity for both biomechanics and bio-signals. This is why I am torn between both concentrations, and which to pair with minor I’m interested in. So, the options I have made for myself are; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology concentration paired with Electronics & Systems major OR Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation paired with the Electronics & Systems major. I am also wondering on which pair would be the most beneficial for me in industry post-graduation. Any advice helps. Thank you in advance!

Any Advice?

I am interested in studying chemistry and biology, and I am interested in curing autoimmune diseases.

What sort of advice would you give to someone who is looking to work with sick children if that person is very sensitive; regardless of that weakness, they have a strong passion and love for kids and that’s the only career they see themselves with for the long term?

For context this person wants to pursue a doctorate in the field.

"If our world values art, kindness, innovation, and nature’s beauty, why do we still judge students mostly by their grades What other qualities should matter just as much?"#Spring25

In a world full of natural beauty and endless human creativity, it doesn’t make sense to judge students just by grades. A test score doesn’t show someone’s imagination, kindness, or how hard they try when no one’s looking. Real success isn’t something you can measure with numbers. Like a tree...
