College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am a freshman major in chem and minor in CS. My college does not have an engineering school. Yet transfer is not good option for me, coz i'm having financial aid here.BTW I'm an international, so pre-health track won't work for me.</p>

<p>I wanna to work in industry. But seems all chemists are doing endless post-doc now, i've been worrying about unemployment and poverty these days. Is there a chance of switching to chemE, with a better job perspective, when entering the grad school?</p>

<p>I'm going to have LA+DE in maths and ACS certificated B.S. in college. I also plan to take the graduate course of thermodynamics and take polymer science& engr courses at a nearby institute (and will still miss fluid mechnics plus heat&mass transfer though). Will that help me in applying for a chemE MS, or even phd? I just wanna to pay less...</p>

<p>If directly applying for chemE degrees is too difficult, can i apply to chem phd, and choose the area more related to engr, MSE, etc.? </p>

<p>Thank for any advice! I'm really nervous about future employment.</p>

<p>Chemistry does not have a lot of math requirement. I had a classmate who came from Chemistry to Env engineering in grad school and he was working on a lot of math requirements on the side since engineering needed those classes for the master’s admission requirement.</p>

<p>Yes, so i’m gonna to take cal 1-3, LA and DE, and cal based physics. Is that enough?</p>

<p>Should be enough if you take those. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s all the math my school requires for an engineering major minus applied statistics, so that should be good.</p>
