>Do engineers have the possibility to go into research?
Yep, but you'll most likely make considerably less.
To do research, you usually have a phd and if you have a phd, you're a teacher 99% of the time. Don't get me wrong, you can definitely make a comfortable living, but there's less potential to move up.

Where'd you get U of I from?
He doesn't say shit about it.
Samefag?

>>4613008
100% true.

>often gloss over the finer aspects of the subject
That's how modern degrees are hence my comment about bachelors not being terribly difficult. The average engineering degree used to be ~150 hours. It's now closer to ~125 for most. The body of work in a subject grows while the classes teaching you about it diminish. It doesn't make fucking sense haha.
Really though, the boards are recognizing the weakness in a bachelors.
Get ready to get a masters for your PE in a few years haha.

Who are you addressing out of curiosity?

What year are you into your EE degree?

>>4612677
For the record, i'm not saying it's not a lot of work. I just don't think the material is as hard as people make it out to be.

Graduating this semester with a 3.9 from FSU~ in civil.
inb4 civil is easier.
it is :P

>>4612627
You're dumb dude.
No bachelor degree is hard. It's just some are easier to get than others.
If you think there is one, then you obviously aren't the genius you thought you were.

:P

find an app if you have a smart phone for a nice alarm clock that requires you to enter a pattern or do math problems or something

On a scale of 1-10, how much do the common misconceptions of nuclear power bother you?

>>4591024
It would crash if you tried to sell all at once, but you can hold on to quantities of it like OPEC and China does with rare earth metals.

Yes
Because we totally want the whole UN on our rockets (which would of course lead to tons of developments to long range missiles in the world).

how can u beleive in evilution if its just a theory ( a geuss?)

>>4565413
Nope.
Regardless of what /sci/ likes to think, mechanical and civil aren't that far off.

>>4565395
Not really.
I think you should either do masters in physics + bs in physics or bs in engineering.

>>4565322
You really don't learn enough in a bacehlors to be that useful (this is engineering, physics etc.). This may be different in the UK, but in the united states all engineering projects require a "Professional Engineer" to sign off. To become a PE, you must have a specific engineering degree.
So basically, you won't be able to get in high level research jobs and you won't be able to sign off on your own projects.
I'm not saying there's no jobs but if you want physics, I'd go for the masters.

I'd help for free, but got class soon.
Sorry man, good luck.

>>4565271
Based on what I've heard, I wouldn't get a bachelors in physics unless you plan on going.
You're essentially going to be an engineer who can't get certified with that degree (though it may be different in the UK, thats how it is in the US).

I'd personally do civil.
If you change your mind about environmental, it's much more flexible than chemical (and frankly easier).
Just make all your electives enviromental. I'm civil and like 6 credits away from having an environmental degree as well.
