AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from mechanical engineering (MechE) to petroleum engineering (PetE) through a master's program is feasible by completing the necessary prerequisites. Pursuing a bachelor's degree in MechE provides a broader job market, and specializing with a master's in PetE can enhance career opportunities in the petroleum sector. Engaging with a graduate advisor is crucial for understanding specific program requirements and potential pathways. The discussion emphasizes that obtaining a second bachelor's degree is unnecessary, as a bachelor's in MechE followed by a master's in PetE is a more strategic approach.

Is it possible if you just take the prerequisites at your grad school to hop from mechE to petroleum? I'm thinking if I go for mechE instead of aero for a broader job market that specializing my ms in petE might be a good idea.. What do you think?

A second bachelor's degree is pointless.

I said a BS in mech engineering.. and "MS" in pet engineering..


thats a bachelors and masters.. that would be helpful.. wouldn't it?
 
You'd have to speak with a graduate advisor. That industry would have mechanical, civil, and chemical engineers of various sorts. Your school (or other schools with similar programs) should be able to help you with this more than we can.

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...
