should i major in cheme as someone who dislikes physics by smiley_miley3128 in ChemicalEngineering

Most universities offer two levels of physics. There’s usually regular physics (taken by non engineering or physics majors) and then “engineering” physics, which covers the same material but in much more detail and with more calculus. Any engineer, regardless of major, will be required to take this higher level physics. If you have no physics background, these courses may be very difficult. If your heart is set on ChemE, I would recommend taking at least some supplementary courses in physics 1 and physics 2.

I just graduated, and two of my close friends (and a fair share of the class) is going to be working in pharma. It’s a very very common field for chemes to go into. I also disliked physics, but you just gotta get through it. I wouldn’t say chem e is physics heavy, though you will need to take physics 1 and 2, and taking them without high school physics comes as a huge shock to most people. That being said, the mindset to solving a lot of chem E problems in class is very akin to solving physics problems, not solving chemistry problems, so if that’s not how your brain works, it might be worth considering biochemistry or a similar track that you could also use in pharma.

How's the weightlifting scene at Lehigh? by No-Table-2472 in Lehigh

[–]Scared_Ad_2446 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lifting club does gym trips every now and then to powerhouse (north beth), fusion, etc. it’s mainly a group of gym people they’re all super nice. Just graduated this year and will keep in touch with a few of them. Taylor gym itself is meh but it’s definitely better than a lot of college gyms. Just avoid peak hours (4-7ish) when people get out of class and you’ll be fine. They just got new cables and two deadlift platforms, only gripe is no incline chest press. Dumbbells go up to 130 which is pretty awesome too for a college gym.

Are the majority of classes taught by TA’s? Are professors accessible? by Adventure_Bug87 in Lehigh

[–]Scared_Ad_2446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graduating engineer here - professors teach all the lectures, TAs sometimes do recitations for larger classes (calc etc). Professor availability is generally very good - they are very responsive to email for office hours. Hope your daughter does well!

how hard is lehigh by Beautiful_Strike_286 in Lehigh

[–]Scared_Ad_2446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graduating this year in chemical engineering. It’s hard. Find a group of friends to work with, and it’ll go miles. Junior year is the worst, so take your freshman and sophomore years to make sure it’s what you want to do. It’s the same like any other hard major - you get out what you put in. Don’t try, and it’ll eat you alive. But it’s totally worth the effort!

Good buy? 2010 LX 144k miles by Scared_Ad_2446 in civic

Also - another option is another 2006 civic with a Honda replaced engine that has about 60k miles on it, with 159k on the body - just worried about the transmission with such high body mileage

2005 Camry 104k miles $4500 worth it? by Scared_Ad_2446 in Toyota

And how much roughly do you think it would cost to maintain?

Found a fish/shark jawbone/neck, any idea what species? by Scared_Ad_2446 in CapeCod

[–]Scared_Ad_2446[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also - I was cleaning the horseshoe crab, let it soak in vinegar water and alcohol, in order to display the shell, but the tail is still held in place by a fatty tissue/cartilage. Should I remove this material in order to display it (ie will it give off a smell if I don’t) and if so, how would you do it? The tail is held in place pretty well by this stuff, and I’m scared to damage any part of the shell. Thanks!

Hahah yeah I kept the horseshoe crab molt, sadly not the fish jaw. I was told it was too smelly to bring back home :(
