Is memorization important in engineering?
I'd consider math my best subject, but if it's been a while since I've done a specific type of problem, I usually have to reteach myself. Is this normal?

Careers in Academia vs Industry?
Hello all! Recently, my professor asked me if I've ever considered a career in academia after reading one of my essays... which made me wonder what academia is and what the experience is like (beyond getting a PhD). I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, I like computer engineering (the idea of building something like a robot, etc), but I also really like forensic studies and the topics. I'm a third year student in university. So, here are my questions: If you're in academia, why do you pick it? What's something you wish you knew before starting? Would you work in industry? What are pros and cons of your job? If you're in industry, why do you pick it? What's something you wish you knew? Would you work in academia? What are pros and cons of your job?
