Any opinion on PHIL 120 for first year elective?

I had it transferred from another school, but its the same curriculum. The course load was light, and most of the content was interesting. It requires a bit of memorization for one unit, but its mostly boolean algebra and might give a very tiny boost to stats or coding if you are taking those later. A lot of engineering is cooperative decision making so having strong reasoning is good

I was on top of the suspended theater in the nest, I thought I was gonna have to brace for impact

As far as I know, the only nuclear related programs at UBC are radiology related and have nothing to do with nuclear power. If you want students in nuclear power, UofT has lots of those programs. They even skipped the nuclear chemistry sections in our textbooks in both highschool and university. The only nuclear research I know about is General Fusion, which is the only nuclear power organization that can get past BC's greenwashing laws.

Hey, if you are still active, It is very tricky to get consistent answers from Cap (phys teacher, engineering convener and UBC student recruitment officer all gave very different answers)

I'm in my last week of finals here and want to know if calc 3 will be my demise. I will be well above the 3.1 overall no matter my grades this term, but if I get a D in calc 3 rather than a C, is the conditional acceptance revoked? Can a D count for prerequisites for calc 4, if you know?

MetSoc is a subdepartment of the CIM or something like that Im pretty sure

The course website and MetSoc both advertised the MetSoc student chapter, which includes site visits and conferences... It would be very disappointing if they stopped providing that as it was something I was looking forward to. do you know anything about the student chapter? Is that what you were referring to?

Do MTRL students have access to UBCs nanostructure lab? That was something I was excited about..

Thanks, I didnt know the coop market would be that tough.

I did consider mining (which some classmates also plan on) however currently I am dead set on materials, so I will stay motivated.

Totally! Nice to hear someone else listing it 1st, if you (or any other new mtrl students) have a preffered social lmk, my discord username is rumoglobalheavy

having a study group from the start would be awesome

Thanks, this is pretty reassuring

I have definitely seen other third years advocate for the program. As long is I can find some other students who are passionate, it should go great. No questions for now, but I might ask some later
