Why do I need to study Chemistry when I chose B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering.
Oh! Thanks to the great Indian Education system.

I'm in BA for computer engineering too and took Chem last semester. I know how you feel... :/

Choose BSc. Learn all the computer related stuff the B.Tech guys learn. Plus, you get a lot of time to horn your skills!

@rahulakrishna well you don't learn that much as b.tech

Yeah... You don't learn chemistry, physics and calculus... :/

@rahulakrishna OMG I was so tired I didn't even realize what I wrote! I am going for a BSc not a BA of course lol

Yeah, over here in Uruguay we have to learn Physics and other complex math stuff in order to get the 5-year Engineer degree, granted by the public university.

I think that's because the degree is Computation Engineer and not Software Engineer. It's not only focused at software processes but also investigation on the computation field.

However, chemistry doesn't seem to have anything to do haha.

I'd say it's OK. An engineer has to have a rather basic and big knowledge base so it can understand basic stuff when working with multidisciplinary teams.

Just think about it, a CS Engineer can work and help in any field, be it agriculture, health, biotechnology, etc. As it, you have to know at least the basic stuff and tech language so you can help without delaying or going blind not knowing something.

Yeah, it may seem dumb if you're going to aim for a more practical field like web-dev, but even though, maybe one day you'll develop a web app where they simulate DNA analysis and whatsoever, then you should at least know basic chemistry stuff.

But, as it is, take this with a grain of salt, it's my opinion and at least it's what motivates me to keep studying, because we can do whatever we want (given the time and enough studying)

@felipeg92 Of course it is related!

Think about it, maybe you go to a research team, or let's lower the bar, a test team in a microprocessor research facility.

You may find a bug, and think it may be the design, microcode, but it can help to know basic chemistry so you know material properties and that a bug can be caused because the conductor behaves weird at certain temperatures. We're talking about inorganic chemistry (at least that's what they teach us here in my uni)

I think it's worth having a basic understanding of all the sciences.

I'm taking a BA in computer science and they require chemistry as well.

And I'm in America! Haha

Was in the same situation 1 year ago. I agree a basic understanding is beneficial, however our "beginner" chemistry courses were taught by a professor who had his PhD for over 25 years. He was one of those "that's how I've always taught it" kind of guys. 4 exams. All multiple choice. 25 questions. All the answers to the exams were:
A) a is b
B) b is a
C) b is not a
D) a is not b

Honestly worst class I've had so far. Needed a C to pass, got a C and got the f$#k out.

@setleaf I agree but we have already studied chemistry and physics to even 'above basic level' in school (high school).

You don't study chemistry for chemistry. You learn chemistry for its concepts. Whatever level of chemistry you learn. Knowledge is not a tree it's more kind of a network.
I have a master degree in chemistry but I spent my professional career programming in IT. And I applied concepts from both the disciplines to solve problems.
Keep going on you'll see the benefits later. At least it's easy to get good grades ;).

@micheletto it motivates me a little.

I am just at the stage of choosing a university and a future profession, and the main criterion for me is a normal curriculum so that I have time to practice dancing. Of course, just in case, I keep this assistant https://topessaywriting.org/write-m... on hand but still I would like to get good grades on my own, which is why I choose a university for so long and so difficult. It seems that I have already decided on my profession - I want to become an interior designer.
