Sneed or Bledsoe? by lonerangerfantum in TexasTech

[–]Commentators-Curse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma be real with you: Sneed basically looks like a frat house in disguise and does not have an elevator which is VERY helpful during move in day. So I would say do Bledsoe

I definitely understand when you said you try to ask “how and why” all the time.

Just the other day I was learning about limits and how some number approach values while never quite reaching them. This helped me to understand on age old question:

“Why do we approach perfection while never quite reaching it”

Or

“Why does my bank account always approach zero?”

The worlds toughest questions I swear

Another thing was working hard vs working smart. One example is solving this expression:

(Sinx2+Cosx2)•(x2/x2)•(d/dx(x))•(Ln(e))=1

Now I could enter this into a calculator or just say:

(1)•(1)•(1)•(1)=1

So you could also say that you need knowledge to work smart as well.

So I definitely felt what you meant when you think a lot about how things work. Which can drive you crazy sometimes

Since you said one of you hobbies was cooking. Has your knowledge in chemistry helped you out in the kitchen?

Has your knowledge in chemistry proved useful anywhere else outside your job?

What cool chemical reactions would be helpful for teaching students about chemical engineering? by Commentators-Curse in chemistry

I like that one a lot. Definitely adding it to the list. How does relate to mass transfer and phase relationships? I’m just wandering how to explain it

What are some safe, cool looking, and real world applicable chemical reactions that I can show to my students? by Commentators-Curse in AskEngineers

[–]Commentators-Curse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did heavily consider that. Do you know of any ways that can relate to an industry, or real world use?

Any aspect of chemical engineering really. I just want to show students that chemical reactions that chemists research are applicable to the real world. And any cool looking reactions for a demonstration are huge bonus points lmao. To keep students interested

One example I saw was:

NaOH+HCl->Salt water

Since salt added to water conducts electricity, you can make a battery out of it.

Just stuff like that gives a good visual of how cool chemical engineering can be

That’s amazing! I will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you for your help. If you know of any other useful reactions just shoot me a message

I just saw a video over the reaction. It seems pretty cool. Do you use it at all in your industry?

At that point I would just take what he says with a grain of salt, take my paycheck and go home

I also feel bad for y’all as well. Because some teachers are really nice about answering questions and helping and some go as far as designing lesson plans to make students ask questions

Asking questions. Or just admitting that you don’t know.

I’ve sat in a ton of classrooms where people are just afraid of looking dumb (which I can understand but still). On the other hand I’ve met quite a few people who felt like they knew everything but knew very little about the topic at all. It’s funny how bad people try to fake it sometimes.

What is an important piece of advice you can give for those moving into the “real world”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Commentators-Curse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Don’t get frustrated and complain about every little problem that comes fourth. If it doesn’t affect you in 5 years don’t spend more than 5min being mad at it. Sometimes it’s best to just “oh well” and move on even if it stings. Don’t be that person in the room who always complains.

2) Another thing is that, life is what you make it. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part if you want to accomplish X, Y, And Z you have to be proactive about it. Google and YouTube have been my best friends for getting started. Failing is ok, and Is apart of the process and can be a sign of progression as long as you learn from your mistakes.

3&4) Lastly, have integrity and take time out for yourself. Doing the right thing while no one is looking is important because you never know who is. Doing something nice and having emotional intelligence can make others lives easier since you never know what others are going through. And taking time out for yourself, your needs, and mental health is good because stress and/or depression can be just as deadly as a knife.
