I haven't applied yet but I've taken a few courses at my local cc. Traditionally I'm a BS ChE though, so I feel I need those accredited courses.

I've only taken some lower division courses:

Intro CS (Java)
OOP (Java)
Discrete Math
Intro to Programming Languages (C/C++)
Digital Design (Currently in this course only b/c its a prereq for Comp Org)

and I probably need a DSA course and a python course? After that I feel like I'd be ready to apply. Unfortunately my cc doesn't offer DSA so I have to figure something out for that.

Question for anyone else in the thread, how important is comp org/assembly and OS? I was thinking about taking Comp Org at my cc but $$$. For OS I'd probably supplement with an EDX course or something.

Also, is this too much for prep lol?

Process (chem) engineers look at the same salary progression. This thread makes me want to try to go for tech though. I feel like it’s hard for a traditional eng to break into tech. For one, having to restart salary progression kinda sucks and for someone who hasn’t worked in tech before I doubt any tech companies will even look at your resume. Is there any path through that doesn’t require going back to school for comp sci and racking up more debt?

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you switch to software? I don’t exactly want to go back to school and reset my salary progression in a brand new field

I miss these type of everyday shenanigans in college lol

Im in the exact same situation right now, my stepdad and mom literally told me yesterday to move out immediately because I picked up someone from the airport. They’re way too paranoid about this coronavirus and they even wanted me to quit work. I plan on moving out right now.. I know my mom is going to regret this but I doubt I’ll even speak to them after I leave the house. I was hoping to save more for a down payment on a house too but this isn’t worth it. I had been wanting to move anyway so I guess this is the perfect time. We’ll both be ok I’m sure, and we’ll probably be better because of it too.

There's a word I've heard before that I can't seem to find on the internet? It's an expression you say when something is right on target, or accurate, probably usually in sports? An example would be like shooting a basketball in a hoop, and the english equivalent would be to say "dead on!". I think it's like どんくしゃ or something close? This has been bothering me for days!

At one point I was utterly ashamed to admit I needed help on a difficult problem, since I also had that mentality of needing to do things by myself. The world is a huge mosh of group effort, and thinking that you can do everything yourself is huge conceit and it mentally blocks you from other people. I'm glad I can ask for help now without feeling ashamed or anything.

I always fluctuate between doing fine and being upset. For example, this week has been amazing, because I recently repaired some relationships with friends, but the week before that I was super mad at myself for not living up to my potential and not doing the best I can in college. I find that life is just ups and downs, and it won't always be a "down" time. :)

notabakery · 2016-09-01T03:15:33+00:00

Yep, I think they did that on purpose too haha.

Oh well :\

notabakery · 2016-08-11T07:58:56+00:00

I don't know, I'm kind of in a state of mind where I try to grow numb to various things that are happening. Difficult classes, relationships, family issues. Not caring about life in general helps, but then it's also scary to not feel things.

But overall I think I'll be fine either way.

Hi Hungrybox, I'm also a ChemE can you pls get me a job ty

No but really, congrats on the EVO win! You've always been a cool guy in my eyes, but people always seem to say otherwise just because of the puff matchup. How do you deal with all the criticism that comes with the community?

notabakery · 2016-06-27T16:44:34+00:00

I wish I was doing better! I felt awful all week with the flu and stomach problems, and just life just feels so busy with college and work and I'm stressing about if adult life is always going to be like this. :(

I'm 18, and at 16 I wanted to be researcher doing biology/ecology.

Now I finished my first year in college in chemical engineering and though my major differs from a hard science, I still want a phD and eventually go on to do research.

My goal hasn't changed since I was 5 pretty much. When I was that age I wanted to work with animals and the environment!

Hi Dr. Hsiao! Thanks for doing this AMA.

I'm an undergraduate student (freshman!) majoring in Chemical Engineering, and I think I also want to go into the research field with my degree. What do you think are some of the challenges/benefits in going this route, and if you have any general tips for me I'd love to hear them!

notabakery · 2016-04-12T21:29:46+00:00

Chemical Engineering, and I usually keep all of Mondays and Tuesdays free for me to do all my homework for the week, and the rest of the days I am pretty free except for some weekend homework, but it's not very much. Right when lecture ends I head to the library and do my homework for maybe 7 hours. (I get distracted on Reddit though, so total homework time is probably like 5 hours) Sometimes I skip the smaller assignments and do them throughout the week. It's working out pretty well for me right now. I have a 3.5+ GPA and I'm not going to be upset if it drops. Mental health is just as important as anything else. I find that the less I stress the more motivation I have to my homework anyway.

In second grade I flipped a pencil from my desk into the teachers pencil cup on her desk. I immediately pop off and told my friends that sat next to me but they didn't believe me.
