>>12196510I think MatSci falls under the chemical branch for most universities? Its cool stuff, and I liked to mat sci class I took.
>>12196969I haven't seen this in my personal experience, but that's all I can really attest to. Maybe it varies based on the sub-discipline.
>>12196990I agree with you though, I just meant that those disciplines tend to attract those types of students. Like I said, any engineering degree is good, and if you're doing NE because it's what you are really passionate about then 2 thumbs up!
>>12198812Why are you in civil if you don't think it's interesting? Most cookie-cutter civil jobs are with construction companies or local DTI's. You should do whatever post grad is interesting enough for you to be motivated to put in the work. Construction research outside of work improvement and programming can be very economic/philosophical in some ways. Water resources researchers are biologist who know more about math and less about fish, and the work is super fun/interesting. Structures and materials research is also interesting, you just need to find a prof that won't push you towards doing "I-beam shear optimization #54 climates averaging 20.71 Celsius". Foundations/Soils is math-y. Transport is interesting.
And I agree, don't finish you're undergrad and become a "structural engineer" because you'll just end up designing connections your whole life. That is suicide tier.
