Cheers! Will take the MEng advice into account... I was thinking about trying to get away with doing a BEng (this missus' is a year older than me, so an MEng would mean she'd be working for two years before I have a job!) but if an MEng would be beneficial than i'll do that. I'll probably be...

When I was reading their websites corrosion seemed like the way to go for my degree discipline, a masters also looks like it might be needed. Thanks for the idea of looking at trade magazines etc

I'm currently studying a degree in Materials Science and Engineering at a good University in England. My course is a 3 year BEng but I could change to an MEng if necessary. I was just wondering what i'd need to do to make myself stand out: What skills could I acquire at Uni to help me out...

My university has a course in Biomedical Engineering and also Materials Science and Engineering with an emphasis on biomatierals, maybe you could look at something like that?

Cheers! An ideal gas at 0.1 MPa pressure and 298 K expands reversibly and adiabatically from 0.50 dm3 to 1.00 dm3. (For this question, take the molar heat capacity at constant volume to be: CV,m = 12.48 J K-1 mol-1). Calculate: (i) its final temperature, [4 marks] I used the formula...

Homework Statement i.) An ideal gas occupies a volume of 2.5 dm3 at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. If the gas is compressed isothermally by a constant external pressure, Pext, so that the final volume is 0.5 dm3, what is the smallest value that the external pressure can have? [2 marks] ii.)How...
