Can a Microbiologist Pursue a Chemical Engineering Masters Degree?

AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from a microbiology background to a master's in chemical engineering may present challenges due to the differing foundational knowledge required. A microbiologist might lack the necessary engineering and advanced math skills typically acquired in a chemical engineering undergraduate program. It is likely that the individual would need to complete additional coursework in engineering and mathematics to meet the prerequisites for a graduate program in chemical engineering. Therefore, while pursuing a master's in chemical engineering is possible, it may require significant additional study to build the required background.

It may be difficult for a biologist to have enough engineering background to be successful at a graduate level.
 
Chemical engineering majors divert from chemistry courses to chem engineering courses after ochem; you'd probably have to start-over there and take all the engineering and math requirements.
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
