What engineering degree to become an entrepreneur?
What engineering degree to become an entrepreneur?
I want to become an entrepreneur in the field of engineering.
I am interested in chemical engineering and electrical engineering, so I would like to know what branch it is easy to have my own bussines. I think electrical engineering is the best because high technological innovation is for everyone, but chemical engineering is so broad and exciting, I really like both, I would get two bachelor, but it would not be possible, I have to work during my studies to help my parents.
Help me choose, please.

I would say electrical engineering is the better choice because it is used in all industries while chemical engineering has a more limited scope.
Many engineers who wish to have their own company begin by working for someone else to gain experience. They then can move on to working as a consultant. From there if they can obtain the money or financing they are able to own their company. It is not sn easy road but the rewards can be great.

What would architectural engineering be under in engineering school?
I want to go into architectural engineering in college and while some colleges provide that specific major, most do not. What would architectural engineering be under? (civil engineering, construction engineering, industrial engineering). I plan on going to architecture school as well, and get a degree in engineering, but I don't understand what the architectural engineering would be under.

In large building projects, such as a hospital, office building, etc., the lead is typically taken by an architect. He designs the overall 'look' and function of the building. A structural engineer designs the building for withstanding external forces: earthquakes, wind as well as the loads placed on the floors. A mechanical engineer designs the HVAC (heating, ventilation and cooling) and plumbing. A civil engineer desings the foundation. A construction engineer would provide engineering support before and during construction, and be focused on how to get pieces of the building together.
An industrial engineer is probably not involved, unless the building is a factory. IE's study time, motion and processes related to manufacturing, not structures.
Please call Weil Hall at my alma mater, UF, at 352-392-6550, if you want more specific information about engineering and construction.
What types of engineering requires the least amount of mathematical work?
So I know engineering requires alot of math, calculus, etc. But what are some engineering careers that require less. And what type if possible.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, I know engineering and math are linked, but what types of math are involved in most?
.
Question answered by aviophage
All disciplines within the area of engineering require at least general calculus, spherical trigonometry, and vector analysis. If avoiding these is a serious consideration for you, then perhaps you should reconsider your career strategy from the bottom up.
As others have suggested, you may not find the math as hard as it looks. The only way to know is to give it a try.
Good luck!
What chemical engineer need to study after first year of engineering?
I heard that in chemical engineering there is no deep chemistry involved but rather chemical engineering is a combination of different things.
In petroleum what do you need to study?
Question answered by Emmy
Yes there is deep chemistry involved in getting the diploma of a Chemical Engineer and in the career itself. Where I am taking Chemical Engineering, it is required to take all the way up to Polymer Chemistry and sometimes beyond that, which is high level stuff. (Not to mention all the classes to take before Polymer Chem)
If you want to go into petroleum, then the materials side, instead of the bio-chem side, of Chemical Engineering is what you would want to take. This requires Polymer Chemistry, mentioned above, and several materials engineering classes on top of the regular requirements of a Chem-E. The knowledge of the elements and how they react with each other is vitally important to making anything.
However, this question should really be asked to your adviser. It's different based on school and program.
What type of engineering involves only maths?
I am NOT looking for engineering that involes science and maths. Just maths. Except if there is a type of engineering that involves ONLY chemistry or biology. Also do you have to be at maths and physucs to do civil engineering or can you just be good at maths?

Question answered by Ecko
I think that you can say that Engineering is about applying science, often physics, but plenty of other sciences come in. The distinctions are fine lines anyway. The maths are handy (important) to work things out, but after uni may not be all that important, in that you can use a computer to do it all, often with specialized engineering packages. I imagine someone really keen on maths for its own sake could find a niche somewhere, especially in bigger organisations, but these are more likely in the uni department of maths. Maths is after all science too. You could say physics is mostly maths too. Once you get into uni the maths level goes up so things change, maths may be different, but so is physics.
Above all you need to be analytical practical and pragmatic to be a happy Engineer. Does that sound like you? Answer yourself truthfully, it is just for you.
Why avoid science? Doesn't make much sense unless it is an excuse of some kind? Uni is a few years, and it's so you can get a career (for most of us). A career is the rest of your life, though you might jump around from job to job. Hope that helps.
How do people with civil engineering degree obtain a mechanical engineer position?
I noticed that many civil engineers do not always work in their field of studies. Some civil engineers work as mechanical engineer. After getting a civil engineering degree, what do you need to do to become a mechanical engineer or work in other field of engineering?

Question answered by matt
Build your resume with mechanical engineering experience/training or go back to school and get the degree.
It is also helpful to gain experience in mechanical engineering software such as Solid Works.
If you are a civil engineer you have most likely taken at least a few mechanical engineer courses as well (hopefully thermodynamics and dynamics). List those on your resume and apply for a position.
What's the difference between computer engineering and computer hardware engineering?
Does computer engineering include software as well? Which pays better? If a school has computer engineering does that mean they have to have computer hardware engineering too?

What type engineering involves designing cell phones?
I have been planning to take up Electical Engineering in university but after doing research on the internet i'm not sure its the right type I'm interested in. I want to be involved in working with the most advanced features of a cell phone/smartphone (like the touchscreen, processor, RAM etc.). What field of engineering would that be considered?
andrew
Question answered by Rainman
That depends on what you want to do with it. The things you mentioned are hardware which falls under electrical engineering. Programming the phone would be computer science. Computer engineering is probably what you want because it interfaces hardware with software.
What engineering discipline earns the most money?
I want to pursue a career in engineering but am not sure which discipline will ultimately earn me the most money (mechanical, electrical, chemical etc). Any help/advice will be appreciated!
Connor
Question answered by ParadigM
It's not really about which discipline will earn you the most money, it's about which one interests you the most. You will earn lots of money in any engineering discipline. So you should choose the one that you think you will really like.
But if you really want to know, some of the highest are aerospace, biomedical and chemical.
