Few questions about Nuclear engineering?

Some questions about engineering! ?

  • 1. which A levels should i take? ive already decided maths, further maths and physics but i dont know the last one, i dont even know if the A levels that i settled on is right . HELP! 2. Is the choice ive made right? If you are studying to become an engineer or are an engineer your thoughts about it. is it interesting? 3. any tips throughtout college and uni, anything to watch out? 4. do engineers get good money 5. any limitations to engineering? 6. who do engineers work for? goverment/ individual companies... P.S. i dont know which section in engineering i want to go to.. but nothing to do with chemicals i know that for sure... ive only just decided that engineering migt be the career for me so i dont kow much about it so anything about engineering will help well thats all of it (i hope) thnx for reading.. please answer- ill be waiting =]

  • Answer:

    1.I'm guessing that A-levels are something like High School but whichever engineering you decide on you will have to take a lot of math and sciences. When I went through Electrical Engineering they wanted me to start out in Calculus, but I wasn’t ready for Calculus so I had to start out in Pre-Calculus (which wasn’t too bad because 5 hours of ‘A’ really helps out your GPA.) 2. As an engineer you will look at the world in a different manner, also the Discovery Channel, History Channel, and other similar channels will become your favorite ones. When others see ASIMO as a cool, neat little robot you will look and see how much design had to go into it to make it able to walk, to make it follow you, and to make it respond to you. 3. It will be a long, hard road but you can pay now (insanely hard classes) or pay later (low paying job). Also find some friends in your classes and study with them. If you can’t understand a concept chances are one of your study group will or someone will know the way to pass a certain professor’s exam (what to study in the text/notes/etc.). Also it is nice to be around others like you and chances are they will laugh at and enjoy the same things you will. Another thing is to take any test (Fundamentals of Engineering in the US) that will help you get licensed (Professional Engineer in the US) while in college. #1 the knowledge is still fresh. #2 some colleges will pay for it if you pass it. 4. Yes. 5.Don’t understand this question. 6. Engineers can work for both Governments and corporations and sometimes themselves. One easy way to find out if Engineering is the right career for you is if your school will have a career day or something that will allow you to go and follow a person who works in the field that you want to go into. My school did and even though he wasn’t in my discipline (he was more of an Environmental Engineer and I wanted to be an Electrical Engineer) I still learned a lot about engineering.

1. What do you mean by "A" math? In just about any engineering program you'll have to take up to calculus 3, linear algebra, differential equations, and maybe discrete mathematics. Basic physics classes include mechanics; waves, optics, and thermodynamics; and electricity and magnetism. This also depends on what engineering path you go into. For example, in mechanical engineering you'll be taking a lot more classes in fluid and thermostructures. 2. Most engineering programs have notorious deflated GPAs, so keep that in mind. Engineering students are typically the hardest working students in college. 3. Tips in college? Spend more time studying and less time partying like social science and humanities majors. 4. Making good money depends on what you go into. Typically Petroleum Engineers are paid the most, but job security is key. As soon as gas prices fall they're usually the first to get laid off easily. Most engineers also work typical 40-hour weeks. 5. I don't get this question. 6. Engineers work for both the private and public sector. 7. If you don't want anything to do with chemicals just stay away from Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.

I don't understand why you want to go into engineering, but don't know which section of engineering you will go into. All sections of engineering are light-years apart. Mechanical, construction, electrical, control, electronic, telecoms, computing, process, nuclear, and miriads of others.

I had to give Sleeper and Cowboywe a thumbs up. As for as question # 5, they really do understand the question, it's just that the answer is no limitations (we are only limited by our on minds).

Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Physics are your best choices at A level.
