    News Donald Trump Running for President

    It's definitely objectionable for the Mexican government to encourage their unemployed to cross over to the U.S. It is their job to take care of those people so they should certainly be ashamed. I don't mean to get all philosophical, but let's break down the phrase "They [Mexicans] are not...

    News Donald Trump Running for President

    But he's not just speaking bluntly, Finny, he's implying (actually saying overtly) that a whole ethnic group is no good, "not like us." You may want to believe that he's referring to the criminals but he makes it quite clear in this quote that he's speaking in general terms, then halfheartedly...

    News Donald Trump Running for President

    I'm outside the U.S. but honestly I get the opposite impression. It seems to me like some of these folks are basically "out to offend" (which isn't the same as being honest!). Maybe it's just that candidates like Donald Trump, Tom Tancredo or David Duke create so much controversy that they stand...

    Is Intelligence the Only Measure of Success in Medicine and STEM Fields?

    Hello all, this isn't meant to be a scientific post, just a conversation. I was wondering what people think, in their opinion. As a former premed I run across a huge amount of medical students and hopefuls who looked down on other professions including STEM Ph.Ds (yes, I didn't make that up) Of...

    Is this Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

    Thanks so much! That's very good news. So this would be like having a double major? I was afraid this might be a fluffy program or something that was more geared toward going into business (I would rather be a scientist or engineer than do that). I'm not very tech savvy at the moment but...

    Is this Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

    Hi all, I would really appreciate someone taking a guess what this program equates to in English (whether it is Computer Science, Computer Engineering, IT or something else). I'm currently living in a non-English speaking country but will possibly be moving to Europe after graduating (my mom...

    Materials or informatics (f you only had these two options)?

    Yeah I think that's what that program is, sounds a lot like Materials Science but they call it Materials Engineering. It sounds interesting but I'm not sure it's something I will enjoy. It's not like I ever found myself marveling at the materials that the stuff I own is made of LOL I think I'd...

    Materials or informatics (f you only had these two options)?

    Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions. The university near me only has something called "informatics engineering" and something else called "materials engineering." I don't know what those would equate to in North America, but it seems "computer science" comes close to the informatics...

    Materials or informatics (f you only had these two options)?

    Hi everyone, I need advice. I'm in a difficult situation right now. I'm living in a third world country and universities are few and far between. There is one near me that has a handful of careers, including two engineering types: "materials" and informatics. The rest of the options are social...
