/sci/ - Science & Math

Hello /b/

I was in a thread yesterday that discussed engineering as a profession in it's broad sense of the word.

I am 24 years old and have finished a bachelors already in a field totally irrelevant to engineering and I am researching into

a) What the job of a mining/geotechnical/civil engineer entails

b) What you ideally need in terms of education to get into this field

I got bad grades in math for my GCSE's but I believe it is because I didn't try hard with it. Then when it came to A Levels I chose subjects totally irrelevant once again to the engineering field.

My question is this...

Should I take some evening courses for example in mathematics and such relevant subjects so as to be possibly be let in to a university that teaches engineering?

I feel like at the moment I wouldn't be let in to any engineering uni course as I have no relevant education but would doing these courses show the universities that I am eager to learn or would they still want good GCSE and A Level grades in the necessary subjects?

I feel like society pushes you far too early into making a decision about what you want to do as a career and I am only now really beginning to understand what I want to do with my life.

But what scares me is that once I am done with a bachelors and for arguments sake lets say a masters in engineering I will be nearly 30 before I even begin to go into a career.

Any help/advice/opinions from anons who know about this stuff would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the essay, I never really post.

Yours Sincerely,

Long time lurker.

Hey /sci/ I could use some advice from Engineerfags.
I'm going to be going to school for mechanical engineering because I'm interested in robotics and weapon design.
Are there any programs I could start learning now since I have a good amount of down time. Things like CAD or 3ds Max?

Engineer general.
What's your major?
What made you get into engineering?
How many dicks have you sucked today?

>yfw when engineers have their own board now

How many gigaohms are in a centilitre? How much is that in voltograms? Divided by the number of wattometres, what's the potential cellular geostatic density?

You're in the club and suddenly this guy slaps your gf's ass. What do you do?

For the record, this guy is not heterosexual.

engineering thread?

Like a boss.

Kneel before your overlords, /sci/fags.

Oh hi there /sci/entists!
I heard you just had your 3M GET. On behalf of all engineers, I congratulate you on this achievement.
Unfortunately, it's something none of you will ever GET in real life, even by putting together all the salary you will ever receive in your whole life.
My condolonces for choosing the wrong degree.

Being an Engineer is like being given a gift from God.

An advanced super race, with their own language, customs, culture, traditions and a rich history. High wages, High respect from the peers, High retirement age. The Engineers stand proud above the wraths of sub-human, Scientists, Doctors, and other sub-human, animalistic, Lawyers, animals. Oh how I thank God that I chose to be a handsome, tall, perfect engineer.

We are true discoverers, inventors, and intellectuals.
I can proudly stand tall and say I am proud to be an engineer, and I will love my profession until the very last day.

Long live engineering

>Engineers are more respected then mathematicians

Altho engineers depend on visions and dreams of brilliant mathematicians to do their work, in the society, engineers are the ones to take all the glory when science makes life better for the avarage-guy.

Not all without justification though, the solutions engineers come up with are often as brilliant as those of the theoretical mathematicians.

Ask a heterosexual engineer anything?

problem w/engineers?

u mad?

Why don't you like engineers, /sci/?

Hey /sci/, can you try to prove this theorem:

"All engineers are gay fags"

I've already disproven the converse of it, but have failed to find a constructive proof for the aforementioned theorem.

Hiiiii sciii

You might remember me from that last time we had the argument about that thing we love to argue about. Anyways, I hate the old spice viral ads for the fact that its polarizing. Whether or not you hate it you still gonna tell people who don't watch TV to go get a 3d plasma to watch it (or go on the internet) Oh right.. the point. This you-tube guy does this parody of the commercials and I'm sitting there wondering if it is better or worse than the original and if it matters at all, then this guy mentions that he is an engineer. I notice many cats in the video.. then he calls out his "assistant" and something clicks. fucking fagot! I saw what you did there
