Just as the title says, what's your college major and your favorite specialties (along with why) in that subject?
Major: Chemical Engineering
Favorite specialties:
Polymer Engineering and Fluid Dynamics - They both deal with my natural ability to see how physical systems interact with each other. When I go back to grad school, I'm going to be working in the on-campus polymers labs, and hope to base my degree around non-petroleum based polymers.
Ceramic Engineering - I've never taken any classes in this, but it's always peaked my interest.
Microelectronics/Semiconductor Fabrication - Only a minor interest in this, but I felt I had to include it since I inadvertently came within one class of it being my option and my senior project was based around using microorganisms to build microelectronics (MOSFET gates and whatnot).
