Good Engineering Graduate school recommendations?

Hello everyone,

I will be graduating from college with a BS in Chemical Engineering. My GPA is a . out of and I am graduating from the University of Maryland (# Engineering rank in the country according to US News). I have a good amount of research and internships and a great GRE score. If anyone could recommend some engineering grad programs based on my stats that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

  • You must already know that the best engineering schools in the east are MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, and Purdue (SORT OF east!) …for Chemical Engineering in particular, Princeton and U of Delaware also are ranked high by US News & World Report. Caltech is the best out west. I can recommend Caltech on several axes that are probably orthogonal to what the “rankings” considered. Most importantly, Caltech has faculty who act as if they respect students, because they know that Caltech students really WILL be their eventual replacements. It probably helps that Caltech does not practice affirmative action, so no matter what your race, gender, or national origin, everyone knows you got there by doing really well and not by some quota. Of course financial arrangements don’t affect you much, since your graduate tuition will be paid by whatever institution agrees to take you on; nevertheless, it’s somewhat instructive to know that Caltech UNDERgrads leave school with about / of the debt that MIT undergrads incur, and the reason is, that on-campus work opportunities are much more remunerative at Caltech than at MIT.

    Answers Favorite AnswerSure, but remember that you may find it hard to get even one degree so be careful, don't over commit yourself. You can not afford any time for hobbies or jobs etc if you want to get an engineering degree. How good is your support structure and finances? Engineering school is no place for a po-boy.

    How to obtain a pure sample of solid MgSO?

    Answers Favorite AnswerYou have to get the MgO into a more usable form. To do this, add water to MgO first.MgO + HO ---> Mg(OH)Now you can use Mg(OH) with sulphuric acid.Mg(OH) + HSO ===> MgSO + HOI suppose it is possible to write it asMgO + HO + HSO ===> MgSO + HOMgO + HSO ===> MgSO + HO It should work.Add distilled water to the MgO so that it becomes Mg(OH). For simplicity it is best to use the sulfuric acid, since the only products other than magnesium sulphate would be water. The water can be removed by heating the solution until most of the water boils away. If you want anhydrous magnesium sulphate then you can heat the hydrated salt that is left.Other than take a bottle of magneisum sulfate from the shelf in my stockroom?React Mg(OH), which is called milk of magnesia, and HSO, sulfuric acid, stoichiometrically, and evaporate the water, allowing the MgSO salt to precipitate.Mg(OH)(s) + HSO(aq) --> MgSO(aq) + HO(l)
