Just wondering if anyone has done this program and what their thoughts were on it. I'm contemplating it for 2020 and would like to get some feedback if possible.
The tittle pretty much says it all. I have a BSc in Mathematics undergraduate degree and have the option of doing either a MSE or a ME. I think the ME would be a fair amount more work for me but is it worth it? Does it look more favourably to have an ME? Both would be in Aeronautics and Astronautics. I doubt I would ever go on to do a PhD.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Greetings Aggies,
I am interested on studying my Master degree in Nuclear Engineering in TAMU. My major in Bsc was Chemical Engineering with a Very Good degree(I think it equal B+ or A- on US system) . I have some questions regarding this department.
- Is it easy to be admitted as a Graduate international student? (my GRE score is V:150 Q:165 so far)
- How Intensive is the study?
- In a scale of 1-10 , what is the difficulty of passing courses?
- What kinds of exams, working projects and practical works should I expect?
- Any other information should I be aware of?
Regards
I am planning to take Masters in Civil Engg in DLSU. Pero torn ako between MS or MEngg. Anyone here knows ano ang pinaka difference nilang dalawa? And kung both ba is may specialization? Also magkano usually ang tuition + miscellaneous for part time graduate students? Thank you!
Hello, does anyone have insight regarding the feasibility of completing a Master's in electrical engineering when my background is a Bachelors is bioengineering? Of course I'll have already completed most of the math and physics aspects but is there core knowledge I would be missing that would make it extremely hard to complete graduate level electrical engineering courses?
The program I am interested in requires you to specialize in one of the following fields:
Communications and Signal Processing (CSP)
Computer Engineering (COMP)
Controls (CONT)
Microelectronics (MICR)
Electrophysics (ELEC)
If it matters, I'd like to develop biomedical devices that interact with the nervous system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey /r/datascience,
As the title implies, I've got a background in stats and data science, but my ~2.5 years of professional experience thus far has been entirely software development. From the few interviews I've taken on the side, this has actually seemed to be beneficial, as a lot of data scientists with strictly data science education may not have great hands on programming skills (which are a big part of data science). Employers seem to take kindly to the breadth that comes with an education in stats/ds but with applied software expertise. My title is currently "Data Scientist", which at least gets me plenty of linkedin messages.
I'm at the point where I'm starting to feel like I am losing grasp on all that I learned in my stats/ds studies, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas to stay relevant, stay fresh, and keep my data science skills honed. Additionally, how can I prove this? They're going to ask for examples of my work, and I'm going to have to say "Welp, I spent 2.5 years writing software". I'm scared my prospects are slipping.
I 100% want my next job to be data science, but I feel like every day I spend at my current job is moving me further from that, even though I'm developing a lot of valuable skills...
Thoughts?
TL;DR: How can I get a job in data science with no DS experience, but an MS in DS? Or, if my job doesn't provide me with relevant DS experience, where else can I get it?
Currently an undergrad in physics, will be graduating and getting a job in engineering. They want me to have a PE and will pay for master's in engineering. I want to do online options but none of them are masters of science, mostly master's of engineering. Will I be eligible for a PE with a master of engineering? NCEES doesn't get into specifics into things like that so I can't tell. Please help!
I am about to graduate with a B.S in environmental science this upcoming spring and I’m thinking about taking the masters program into Environmental Engineering. I just have to knock out the prerequisites which would take me two semesters. I want to do this because I am afraid of the aftermath on the job market due to COVID and I have heard it’s hard to get a job entry level and the pay is terrible. I want to do this because I don’t feel satisfied enough with my education and I want to make more money. However at the same time, more school means more debt but I’m not afraid of the debt as long as I make it out and graduate. I just want to know if my fears are over exaggerated about the job market.
I am in the midst of choosing a grad school program and was hoping someone could clarify what the difference between the two degree titles is. Is Master of Science the same as Master of Pharmaceutical? Is there a difference between the two (like how a BA is different from a BS degree)? Or is it just a differing naming convention dependent on program type?
So I got my undergrad in mechanical engineering and I’ve decided to go back to school to get a Master’s in computer science. I want to make a permanent switch to software engineering as soon as I graduate.
I’ve been getting straight A’s since starting, so I can at least demonstrate some level of competence in that regard.
Currently where I’m at in school, I will be graduating in 2 years but I would really like to start my CS career as soon as possible. I was wondering how interested employers would be in hiring me if I hadn’t yet got my Master’s but I already had an “engineering” undergrad degree.
I’m currently working as a Mechanical Engineer but all the experience I’m gaining is irrelevant and isn’t going to be pushing me towards where I want to be in 10 years so I’d like to make the switch as soon as possible. I will even potentially be taking a pay cut, but that is fine with me so long as I’m getting the experience that I need to build me up over the course of my career.
Thank you for reading.
So I’ve picked up a great deal of knowledge of working with circuits and etc and basically self taught myself “computer engineer” as a hobby. As much as I love coding, hardware also fascinates me and regret not going into CE in undergrad.
I was wondering if this would be even feasible and would love to hear experiences from software engineers who’ve made the switch.
Thanks for the time.
As posted, I already have a MS in Aerospace Science but want to get in to Electrical Engineering. I am thinking about the different options and want to go straight for the MS instead of the BS. I am worried however, that it will be difficult to find meaningful employment at the master's level with no experience in the field except schooling. Does anyone have any insight or experience similar?
Hi Guys, I would like to know some decent universities who are offerings the masters in Aerospace engineering or aviation science, also I would be happy if u rate the job perspective for the recommended universities
Well my Bachelors is about to end (gave my final exam, I think I will pass), and going for Masters is one of the option that I have. KU, TU and PU have Masters in Computer Engineering/Science from what I have heard. But aiming for US or Europe or maybe Asian countries are my first priority. I don't even have 1% knowledge about where to and how to start searching for the better option or course for the better country. Don't know about which Consultancy to go and seek information regarding it. I do have time on my hand since the results are yet to arrive and for me to officially apply. So please provide me with anything you know: the country, the university, the consultancy, the website, the wise words and even your experience from the same situation as me or from currently fulfilling you Masters abroad. I will make a good use of it.
Oh and if you have any idea, what's up with doing Masters in Computer Engineering (ME) and Masters in Computer Science (Msc)? What are the pros and cons?
Thank you.
Currently studying in Canada for my undergraduate degree and I am wondering, in regards to difficulty and experience, what you guys think of the UK MSc, MPhil, or simply just a Canadian/American M.ASc or M.Sc.
Anybody have insight on their experience travelling to Europe or UK for their Masters and how it was different from North America?
-Thanks!
I hold a B.S in environmental science and work for a water utility company as a field engineer for 2 years (a civil engineer degree was a requirement, but I applied anyways and got in). I have good experience as a field engineer and don't mind the work, but I can't really move up in the company or this field as a higher engineer without a EIT, which I would need an engineering degree. I know for sure I want to go back to school, but I'm not exactly sure if I will be staying in this exact job, or move over to consulting (almost same type of field work, but I'm also heavily involved in GIS and other computer programs).
So basically, I'm wondering, does a MS in environmental science jobs pay the same as a BS in engineering? either environmental, civil or electric engineer. Or does a BS in engineering hold more weight in payscale?
Hi,
I am a graduating Industrial Engineering student with a minor in IT from the Philippines. Over the past year, I've developed an interest for data science, and would like to pursue a graduate degree abroad (preferably USA, though I guess I am open to Canada/Australia too). Unfortunately, I will probably graduate with a 2.8 after this last trimester (see attached image).
Just for some context, I started out my undergraduate degree , with a GPA of around 2.99 at the end of freshman year, landing in the dean's list 2/3 of the trimesters.
Towards the end of my sophomore year, I began to experience personal issues (family related) which eventually took a toll on my grades and my motivation. At this point, I just wanted to get college over , so I began to work on a side business and alternative sources of income thinking it would grant me greater independence in case I needed it. By the end of my Junior Year, my CGPA fell to 2.6 and I realized I wanted to get back on my feet, academically
Aside from improving my grades, I decided to pursue some extra-curricular activities, such as case competitions sponsored by established fortune 500 companies. As a result, I had won several awards, and secured two internships related to business intelligence. One of these internships, was mandatory for my undergraduate degree, while the second, I took on voluntarily and juggled it with a 18 credit/unit load. I also decided to pursue a challenging thesis topic in operations research, hoping to augment my portfolio, which I am now about to finish and hopefully publish.
I am now on my last term, with a CGPA of 2.8. I understand this is just average, or maybe even on the lower end in terms of US standards, but from my own observation, I estimate that it will be on the upper 20-25% of my graduating batch. I plan to start reviewing for the GRE soon, as well as improve my skills in programming and ML through online courses/books and build my portfolio.
I was hoping for some insights and tips regarding my current situation, as well as suggestions for applicable MS in Data Science programs.
Is a Master's Degree in Computer Science eligible for a TN Visa as a Software Engineer if the Bachelor's Degree is in an unrelated engineering field - i.e. Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
Is a recommendation from a Civil Engineering Department's Professor going to help my application or is it totally irrelevant?
I am currently pursuing Computer Science (Bachelor of Arts) in Canada. I will graduate probably in 2021 (2020 if I rush).
Switching to Computer Engineering bachelor would set me back around a year.
I appreciate any answers on the topic.
Has anyone gone this route? Anyone successful? Any specific programs you might recommend?
Hello, I am a high school student and I’m interested in computer science because I like programming. I like cyber engineering because it incorporates forensics and computer science. And finally, I like psychology because I want to know how people think (specifically criminals). Could anyone tell me some jobs that incorporate all of those?
Thank you.
That is basically it.
Often times posts get so vague that they aren't helpful to a lurker such as myself. The difference between a Ph.D. in the Classics and a Ph.D. in EECE is substantial - especially the consequences of dropping out of a program to enter the workforce. Is there a specific reason why people are so vague?
I'm set to start a 1 year (3 semesters), course-based Master of Biochemical Engineering program at a Canadian university after completing a B.Sc. in Biochemistry 2 years ago also in Canada.
I'm more than a little anxious about it because I feel unprepared. When I accepted the offer, I figured that they accepted me because coming from a different background to a Grad School isn't that uncommon and they deemed my background sufficient but now I'm not as sure.
The big thing that scares me is the level of math that will be required. I have done integral and differential calculus, as well as linear algebra like 8 years ago and statistics more recently, but I just am not sure how much math will be required. I figure a fair bit since it's engineering. And it's not that I'm scared of it or bad at it, I just fear that everyone else will approach it like it's no big deal while I'm scratching my head trying to make a sense of anything that was said and that will result in me falling behind.
I have worked at a CRO as an Immunology Analyst for the past 2 years so statistical analysis and the 2 mandatory project management (less technical) courses don't worry me as much.
I will be meeting with an advisor at some point before the start of the semester.
I welcome any suggestions.
Has anyone done a masters in any discipline of engineering after doing a bachelors of science in computer science?
Hello, I will be taking Computer Science for my bachelors for the upcoming school year, but I am thinking of continuing in electrical/computer engineer for my masters. Would it be possible to continue masters in engineering if I graduate from BoS in Computer Science?
I just graduated with a bachelors in software engineering and was wondering if anyone has any experience in getting into masters in computer science programs. Can this be done? Any tips would be helpful.
