Anybody familiar with Engineering fields?

Santabot · 04-26-2007, 09:19 PM

I plan on going to LSU BR on full scholarship I've received, and going for a major in Chemical Engineering.. or maybe Electronics Engineering.. or.. Electric Engineering.. I'm honestly not the most certain about it. I am only a junior in high school, but I've taken the ACT a few times and I need to take SAT again so I can get all of my scores up, they're all ready fine, but higher is better

Just wondering if anyone here has a degree/background/information about Chemical engineering or other fields to maybe give me a few tips on where to look for advice on internships, careers, or educational opportunities. Thanks to any that reply.

My own son, who is 19, is working towards a degree in Mechanical Engineering. All I know about it is that the math is hard.

I like math, it's okay, as long as.. I don't know how to define it, or any specific area, but some of it just plain sucks because it's very unnecessary looking and too long and out-of-the-way to solve something that's only an abstract concept anyway..

If you are seriously going to go to school for an engineering degree, Louisiana Tech is one of the best engineering schools in the south.

Eh, I really really don't want to go to Tech, mostly because of the Student Life.. or lack thereof. Also, I've heard LSU BR is as good, if not, better than Tech for engineering in certain fields, though I still haven't picked a specific branch.

I already have scholarships to get full admission for both, Tech is cheaper, of course, but being in BR: very close to NO, party school, and far far away from home.

okay, I understand wanting to get away.
