Thanks again for all the comments. I'm still trying to process all my options. I have a lot to consider.
I've though that there might be a spot for me in medical device companies with a background in chem and ME. That would be several years out and from my experience (at least in chem)...
After looking at some of the courses for the BS and thinking about it, you guys are probably correct. I'd be missing out on a lot of stuff by going straight to the MS degree. My savings is going to have a tough time getting me through a BS though.
Moltenmetal,
So if I understand you correctly you're saying that after taking four undergrad courses and an additional 30 credits of graduate engineering I'd still be better prepared to be an engineer had I just went straight for the BS? I'm not trying to call you out but your statement is...
I'm still looking into the PE thing and getting conflicting answers about it.
I'm pretty sure either way I go will leave me better of than trying to make a career of chemistry. The way I see it is that in three years I can be a new engineering grad looking for a job or a chemist looking for...
Thanks for the comments.
I'll definitely be contacting the department to get a better idea of the requirements. Their department website specifically says they have admitted people with chem degrees before so I would think they have a good idea of what remedial courses I'd need.
I expect to...
I'm considering a career change into engineering, most likely mechanical. I'd like to hear what actual working engineers think about my plans and maybe add some insight.
I'll skip a ton for back story and just get to the details. I have a BS and MS in chemistry and I've been an organic...
