Your Questions About Sustainable Energy For All

Lizzie asks…

Major in ChemEng, and minor in sustainable energy, good idea?

I want to do a Major and Minor, University of Toronto offers chemical engineering program and it says i can minor in 1) sustainable energy 2) environmental engineering 3) biomedical engineering

I would choose 1) because i think it has the highest demand in the future.

So, will I be able to find a job with a minor in like lets say, Hydro company with my minor in sustainable energy.

Does having a minor really help?

admin answers:

A minor will only “expose” you to the subject. I don’t think it will have any direct impact on your future employment since it only introduces you the very basic foundations. Referring to what you said about Hydro companies, i think they would much prefer someone with a more suitable background (i.e Civil or Engsci’s Energy Systems Engineering).

Did you know that U of T now allows engineering students to take a minor in the faculty arts & science. Why not choose one of the hundreds of minors available within art&sci? I think something like Chem Eng & Econ/ Chem Eng & Stats would be a good combo.

David asks…

What do you think is stopping human beings around the world from thriving?

People live in poverty, lack access to food, clean water and sustainable energy. People die from starvation, disease and war. Who or what is responsible for this?
Joe – I’m talking about lack of access on a global scale.
It’s time that people start thinking “outside the box.” We close our minds to certain ideas or realities because not doing so would reveal just how dire our situation is. Most of the population have become sheep who have been convinced that they need a shepherd.
just thinking – But why?

admin answers:

The people who have the money and control of it are greedy. They do not care enough to change those things.And the people who do care and try to help do not have the resources to do it.
