What kind of engineer are you?
None yet, but maybe a mechanical some day. I have a huge attention span for mechanical engineering stuff. For example, I can sit and bash my head against Pro/E's learning curve for like three hours before I give up for the day. After an hour of bashing my head against the comprarable chemistry learning curve, I want to take some prozac and /or do dangerous stunts with my FC.

rmaiersg, do you use LON-CAPA? Thats what we use at mines and I have not heard any praise for it yet, even from the profs.

I'm not terribly good at it but I don't mind it. mole/mass calculations and all that are just basic math and not hard, the catch is what you're doing them for, etc.



acid/base reactions take forever to get used to, I still don't understand solubility and organic chemistry is much easier then inorganic so far.



I've still got two semesters of it left. My concern is understanding that I'm doing with it as it could well come in handy later. Ignoring something because it's hard to do is stupid.
