I'm kind considering doing a PhD in engineering mainly because I have no idea what else to do with my life. I don't plan on being a researcher but I am happy delaying real life by 3 to 4 years.
My questions:
1. I am doing an integrated masters. Until just less than halfway through my final...
I've barely made any progress in my engineering bachelor's thesis. I only have 12 days after today before I have to hand it in.
I saw a previous bachelor's thesis. It's 65 pages long, except the title page / abstract / acknowledgments / blank space / reference lists etc add up to about 22...
What is expected from a bachelor's thesis (for engineering)? My adviser won't tell me and the guidelines/marking scheme don't say anything.
Also are advisers only meant to give "high level" advice (e.g. what areas to study) rather than technical stuff? Or is it the other way around? I don't...
I have an adviser that I meet every week but he hasn't given me any defined goals. Basically all I know is the area of research I should be looking at. I don't know what it's like for other students in my year (and I hear that things are a bit more handholdey in the US) but I'm barely being...
>have zero interest for my subject, it's the UK so I can't switch, have managed to be a great exam passer
>this term have one regular course + research project worth the credits of 3 regular courses
>done close to nothing for first 3 weeks of term
What are general tips for this sort of...
For Cambridge, where you need perfect A levels to get into any subject (except you do extra tests to get into maths), I've read that if you do badly at maths, they make you switch to physics or CS.
Obviously most of the pure autists pick maths, and the fact that an autist picks physics...
I'm in my fourth year of undergrad engineering and next term I have nothing except for a research project. I've always done very well in exams but I'm worried that my grade for this project will be much lower than usual and I'll be exposed as an exam passer (which I basically am since I don't...
