How do I do harmless chemistry expiriments at home?
I like to learn more about chemistry and i want to make some at home so just materials and guid lines in how to do them at home.
How difficult is it to get an internship in materials and science engineering#Fall25?
I’m worried I won’t be able to find an internship while in college.
What are the differences between the work of a materials engineer vs. a materials scientist?
I've been trying to decide which field I want to get into, and I want to figure out which one matches me most.
What is the best major to go for stem cell/tissue engineering?
My end goal is stem cell and tissue engineering, but I don't know which major is best for me to take and learn the most for it. I've researched for a while now and have gathered that I can choose from ChemE with Bio electives, Materials Science, or Bioengineering. I just want to work in research labs, which has lead me to think Bioengineering would fit best, but others say ChemE and Materials Science are better. #bioengineering #chemical-engineering #materials-science #biology #college-major #tissue-engineering #stem #stem-cells
What's the most difficult or unexpected aspect of a career as a chemical engineer or materials scientist?
I'm incredibly fond of the idea of melding my interests in both chemistry and engineering/experimental work, and I'm interested in what the challenges of these fields might be, or how they might differ. #engineering #chemical-engineering #materials-science
I'm currently a senior in high school and plan to get a masters in Biomedical engineering. If i want to work in prosthetics, would mechanical engineering or materials science be a better undergrad degree?
I fell in love with engineering early on in my high school career but finding the right engineering field is a challenge. There are so many that appeal to me. I spent time at a biomedical engineering company over the summer and they are working on tissue regeneration and I found it fascinating, so that interests me. I also have a strong desire to work on developing prosthetics, but am wondering if a mechanical engineering degree would be better for that. #mechanical-engineering #biomedical-engineering #biomedical #materials-science
Do many of the required engineering courses for different engineering majors overlap?
I know that I want to major in engineering, but I am currently uncertain as to what specific major I want. If I get into college and decide to change my major from one field of engineering to another, how well do the classes overlap? Do I really have to know what specific field I want to go into before applying to colleges? #college #computer-science #engineering #mechanical-engineering #computer-engineering #biomedical-engineering #electrical-engineering #materials-science
What are some differences between the life of a material scientist and electrical engineer in industry versus research?
I am interested in Materials Science + Electrical Engineer joint major, but I'm not sure if it is an interest strong enough to pursue that major. I mean, it is fascinating, but I am unsure whether I would do industry, or research, or only focus on electrical engineering as a profession. #engineering #electrical-engineering #materials-science
Why is it that only a small amount of colleges have a material science major?
I live in southern California and noticed that only a small amount of colleges offer material science as a major. This confuses me not only because that's what i want to major in, but also the fact that this career can solve many environmental problems. #science #environment #materials-science #materials-engineering
Is it a good idea to put some of the modules/subjects taken at college in the resume?
I am a fresh graduate in the midst of finding a suitable job. While searching various positions, I have found that some companies require knowledge in a particular area. For instance if I am applying for an Inspection Engineer position which requires knowledge in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, can I describe about my materials science modules taken and its projects I did in my CV/resume? I only have a degree in mechanical engineering but I have learnt about NDT methods in my materials science modules. I don't have any hands-on experience in NDT so I am unsure whether stating my modules would be effective. #engineering #resume #careers #materials-science
What kind of engineering career/major could I pursue if I am interested in the food industry and food chemistry as well as business?
I am a senior in high school heading to college next year. I am going to major in engineering, and although I don't have to declare until the end of my freshman year, I am leaning towards Chemical Engineering or Material Science Engineering. I have always been interested in leading a healthy lifestyle through food and nutrition, and have done several school projects relating to food chemistry and health. I am also interested in possibly pursuing business, whether through a minor or just some supplementary classes. Is there a career that can encompass all of these attributes or at least some of them? #business #engineering #career #chemistry #chemical-engineering #chemical-engineer #materials-science #materials-engineering
What would be the major differences between majoring in Chemical Engineering versus Material Science Engineering?
I am going to major in engineering and love chemistry, and although I originally planned to major in Chemical Engineering, I recently heard and learned more about Material Science Engineering. I am now equally interested in both majors, but want to know what the major differences in jobs, opportunities, benefits, and difficulties would be between the two. I don't have to declare my major until the end of my freshman year in college but I would love some insight from someone who knows the difference or has had experience in the field.
