My apologies haha, seems I said that part about the physics GRE backwards..

I can't say much since I am an undergraduate as well haha, but one thing to consider is that most applied physics programs require you or at least heavily recommend that you take the physics GRE when applying to their programs. Also, I am doing my undergraduate in engineering science, which...

As an undergraduate who plans to study plasma physics in graduate school, the comments on job prospects are disheartening but very humbling to know what I and many others will face down the road.. It's a shame that this seems to be the trend in physics (very low chance of getting a job in your...

I'm honestly not entirely sure, he stopped using it after I had stopped working for him last summer. But there was many stupid things that kept going wrong, like tires deflating and the frame would start falling apart from the motor running and vibrating for so long, there were starting issues...

If my father keeps having trouble with it, I will definitely look into helping him buy a new one, he tends to keep everything as long as possible to get everything he can out of it haha. But it looks like with current technology and pricing, its not feasible to build a solar powered generator...

Thanks for replying guys! I figured it might end up being more trouble than its worth for this particular application. But, I still might look into building a much smaller version of this to test out for my own enjoyment. Thanks again!

Thank you for responding! Well, Its difficult to say the amount of watt-hours. Depending on the job and what's being done it can vary wildly, plus what tools are being used. I am also not entirely sure of the compressor run time while it is filling the tanks. I should have looked into this more...

Hello all! So, my father works as a general contractor (I would work for him over the summers during high school). Being that we live in some what of a rural area, for some of our jobs we would be limited to bringing a gasoline powered generator to run all of our electrical needs until we were...

So in most cases they wouldn't even be able to get into the program to begin with? Something my friend definitely needs to look into then.

Hello all, a friend of mine is considering switching to an engineering technology degree but still plans to attend graduate school for engineering. This just got me thinking, what would the draw backs be? How easy or hard would it be for someone in a engineering technology program to go to...

Very good point, thank you very much!

Hi all, I am currently taking calc 2, physics 1, engineering statics and two gen eds. I am struggling in my statics class mainly because I am having a very difficult time understanding vectors. My academic schedule has me actually taking it my third semester (i'm currently in my second...

Well I haven't really been able to find anything useful. The University I attend (Penn state) tells me a lot about the course work and etc. However from what research I have done on the departments website it answers this question very open ended. And my academic adviser has been little to no...

Hi, I was curious what job opportunities someone who majored in engineering science (engineering physics) has after graduation (bachelors)? What opportunities in general are available after they graduate? And, what the demand is for someone with this degree is?

Thank you, doing both is something I will definitely consider. I guess I was just a bit down hearted from all the lack of support from family and even the professor I spoke to in pursuing plasma physics rather than nuclear engineering. But I completely agree that pursuing both since there is...
