    Programming language for Mech Engineering (for profession and as hobby)

    Hello, I am a second year Mech Engineering student. I was co-oping this past spring and was introduced to programming/embedded systems in real life situations. Among this, simulation caught my attention as well. Have decided that it would be great to learn a language so that I can use it for...

    Questions about Jet Engines: F-14, F-105 and X-51 Waverider

    Thanks for the reply guys. This is an interesting topic. I always wondered about the problems facing jet propulsion. I had a hunch it had something to do with the operational parameters of the compressor blades but could never quite make the connection. As far as ramjets and scram jets are...

    Questions about Jet Engines: F-14, F-105 and X-51 Waverider

    Hello, I have a question regarding jet engines. Fighter craft such as the F-14, and more obviously (from a visual stand point) the F-105 have some sort of device that controls air flowing to the compressor. Apparently the air must be slowed to subsonic speeds in order to avoid stalling the...

    OLED Screen Lifespan: Causes & Solutions

    Hello all, I have a question more or less for everyone's entertainment. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) can be used to make flexible screens or other devices of similar function. However, one of the major obstacles to having a practical OLED devices is the lifespan of the product. OLED...

    How can I become better at solving physics problems?

    physicsnewb12 I know how you feel. I had a rough time with physics in high school and still some trouble spots in physics in college (i am a second year now). Simply put, the best thing to do is to do problems on physics daily. Do drill problems. Concepts are good but the test more often than...

    Engineering Should I Minor in Polymer Science or Computer Science for a Career in Aerospace?

    Thanks viscous flow and RandomGuy. That was helpful. I think it would be better to just stick to what I enjoy the absolute must instead of trying to spread myself thin. I think polymers and mech eng will be the way to go and computers will be a hobby. Sorry for the late reply guys. @...

    Engineering Should I Minor in Polymer Science or Computer Science for a Career in Aerospace?

    Hello, I am currently a sophomore at Georgia Tech as a Mechanical engineering major. My ultimate goal is to do advanced research for aerospace but a bit more on the mechanical side (propulsion, structures, etc). I was wondering if getting a minor in polymer science/ material science would be...
