Hi,
I will be starting my third year as an engineering science major at UCSD. Fall quarter starts in a few months so I need to know my course electives so I can take necessary preqrequisites. I would like to know what areas in applied mechanics/mechanical engineering/engineering science is in highest demand. I would love to take the plasma physics electives but I'm not sure if that will make me more marketable. Unfortunately my faculty advisor was not able to help me. Any help from this community is welcome. Please, when responding, do not tell me things along the line "You shouldn't be an engineer if you're chasing money". This might be easy for an upper-middle class American to say but remember not everyone is in those shoes.
Thanks

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
