It's a new field and a lot of schools don't offer a Bachelor's in it. I had to leave Colorado School of Mines since it was too expensive for out of state and am going to Texas Gay&M since it's either that or UNT and that school is even worse. More schools need to have the major goddammit.

If you're interested in MechEng for the sake of the materials science classes I'd imagine you being better off doing ChemEng and focusing on materials.

Well there are mechanical properties of materials, and there are chemical properties that cause those mechanical properties.

If you are interested in using extant materials for a process or component of your design, that is mechanical engineering. If you are interested in designing and producing the material itself, that is chemical engineering.

Chemical engineers don't design materials from scratch, but scale-up is really important. Many carbon nanomaterials have been "invented" already but the next big challenge is in producing them economically. That is what ChemEs are for.

Mechanical engineering uses materials science so they understand how the materials can fail and how to design their mechanical shit so that the materials they are using don't fail. Chemical and Materials engineers are the ones making the materials, but chemical engineers would be less hands-on when compared to materials engineers for obvious reasons.

ChemEs focus heavily on process design and manufacturing. My senior year classes were distillation and separations, reaction engineering, process design, process controls, and labs. You get enough a background to get understand materials and get a job in them, but if your really interested you should go into material engineering.

I've never had to do that, and I'm a professional engineer with decades experience.

Help me out dude. i just started in the cryogenics industry about a year ago. mostly just doing bulk liquified inerts and air separation. where the fuck is all the literature on this stuff? best thing i've found was a rather vague text from the 70's that was half about applications in rocketry.

i am the original poster of that card, yes. i don't work for the government. i don't work in weapons. that card belongs to the guy who interviewed me for the position. the job was going to be designing new explosive lenses for americas nuclear arsenal. the interview was like a panel of corpses looking at me, stinking of cigarettes and shitty coffee. it was obvious that most young people didn't stick around too long. they offered me a fuckton of money.
up until about a month before graduation it was the only decent job i had lined up but luckily i got something else at the last minute. i keep that card in my wallet so that everytime i think my job is shit i remember what i could've been doing and where i could've been. it may be a job that needs doing, but not me my dude. not me.

Man F y'all, mechanical is hands down the funnest.
Everything from designing cars, robots, rockets, roller coasters, heavy construction equipment, etc. Half the time you actually get to step away from the desk and get your hands dirty building a prototype.
I remember working at a small company John Deere would let us climb all over their new mega tractors, take things apart, and we'd find parts we could do cheaper and better. That was legit fun af.
Not to mention it's not like coding is limited to CS majors. I still get a kick out of automating my office work with Excel and Visual Studio and fucking around with the extra free time i created for myself.

I'm not saying other engineering field aren't fascinating in their own rights, but mechanical is legitimately fun and I look forward to coming into work most days.

you know we are leaving the peak of intellectual enlightenment when we set in stone that a single engineer cannot combine the macro- and the microcosmos of their own field, therefore inherently lacking the capability of a holistic approach. The pinnacle of naiveté would be to introduce a third field of engineering, which only task would to combine micro- and microcosmos but, in the end, still depending on the two other fields.

I predict that we humans will be so stupid as to add another level of complexity to a school of thought rather than trying to reduce it to a single discipline, becoming victims to our own complicatedness. I hope I'm wrong.

Not sure for the US, but about 98% of swedish engineers get a job in their field within 1 year, and around 70% start getting job offers months before they graduate.
Also engineering physics is known by everyone in sweden to be the single most mentally challenging program one can choose. Its kind of like a jack of all trades for engineering and job prospects are good.

stay the fuck away from this discipline. found this out way too late.
do a fundamental engineering, youll have more options and you can even specify in graduate school if you want to do something autistic like BME. You will come out of college wondering what the fuck even happened. Idk do some electives in it or something if youre that interested, but the major is kind of like a watered down version of all the engineering fields into one. So you come out of college not really good at any one particular thing.

You could spend months on end on it, or you could just study something else, read a book a few-several times, take some notes, then put it to practice.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 25 11:56:18 2018 No.9618722 im in MechEng right now. Should i go for a math stats master or mechatronics master? Which one has the best career prospects? im worried about the machine learning meme saturating the fields.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 25 11:59:37 2018 No.9618728 >>9618722 Math. Do the math. More engineering isn’t what you need.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 25 12:06:41 2018 No.9618743 >>9618722 Depends really, if you want to work outside of engineering go for an MBA, otherwise an ME in mechatronics could open up doors

Get some work experience before going into a master's. Or, if your determined to go into a master's program straight out of undergrad, go for engineering.

>>9618728
He does need more engineering because you learn jack shit about engineering in undergrad

It really depends on where you go to school because that's what determines what employers are around. And also on your specialization.

I'm in Mass and there's a ton of biochemical employers. The Northeast generally is pretty diverse in chemical employers. Midwest has 3M and Dow which are both heavy into plastics. Gulf coast has petrochemical refining. California and other tech hubs have semiconductor manufacturing.

It really depends what you want to do. ChemE is a great major for developing discipline but without a specialization it is unlikely you will be employed in the field. If I had to do it all again Id get into a research lab as soon as possible, in a field that you are interested in.
