akhockey 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Ok I got to thinking about sticks and the people that design and engineer them. I was wondering what kind of degree you would have to get to do something of that sort. My guess was a degree in Chemistry and Physics. What do you all think? Im wondering this, because I think it would be pretty cool to design sticks for hockey companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulletproof_funk 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Mechanical engineering or equivalent bachelors of science would be your best bet. Mech. eng. programs have chemistry and physics courses in first year. CAD, material sciences, various math courses, thermodynamics, amongst others come later.

steve66 45 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 It really depends which part of the process you want to be involved with. depending on whether you wnat the pre or post production i'm sure things may differ slightly.But a good bet would be some kind of envolement with the materials, so a degree in Metallurgy, or some places even offer degrees in materials and sport science.

JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I think there's a composite technologies degree or something. Someone mentioned the exact degree you needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I'd guess a combination of Materials and Mechanical would be nice. I've never heard of a composite tech degree, but I'm not sure there's something like that at certain schools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timber 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 As a Principal Engineer (Chemical Engineering major) for a medical device manufacturer, here is my 2 cents: As far as disciplines with universally accepted degrees, Mechanical Engineering (BSME) will be your closest, with Chemical Engineering second. There are areas of focus within each of these disciplines like Materials Processing (extrusion, injection molding, compression molding and casting that would also be particularly helpful. One example is Callaway golf; they typically hire M.E.s and Chem. E.s for their club and ball R&D programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
