ksu sucks Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I've noticed a handful of zipsnation posters say that they were engineering majors at UA . Being a ChemE major myself I was wondering; how many of you are Engineering students/graduates from the University? Just list the specific field of engineering and what year you graduated/plan to graduate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroo Craig Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm a sparky from the 80's; however, my business experience is mostly on the mechanical side. I started in field service then moved to sales. I have been selling boiler equipment for the last 20 years. I used to work for B&W in Barberton. I am now a salesman for Alstom who is B&W's primary competitor. I live in Albuquerque and my territory is NM, AZ, NV, and UT. Are any of you guys current or ex B&W? If you worked for them between 1988 and 1995, I might know you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I remember when one of the Engineering Dept's elder professor's spoke to my Peace Studies class, and asked if there were any engineering majors in the room! I raised my hand and stated simply, "social". :lol:BA UA '81 SociologyMURP Port St/U HI 05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt does not care about its students, but rather research dollars and posturing in the rankings. What a joke. As UA increases its research profile, I hope it maintains the student emphasis. I would be ashamed if it ever became like Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUAkronG Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I've noticed a handful of zipsnation posters say that they were engineering majors at UA . Being a ChemE major myself I was wondering; how many of you are Engineering students/graduates from the University? Just list the specific field of engineering and what year you graduated/plan to graduate.I've retaken every calc class once. It's not so much the difficulty, it's just that I can't seem to dedicate myself the first time I take them. I always skip out on class.I get at least a B every time I retake them though.
