I'm honestly not sure what section to put this question under, but I'm going to be a senior in high school next year and I'm in the IB program at my school and currently working on my Extended Essay. It's basically a research paper of sorts. I'm doing mine essentially on the different...
I'm a high school student and I'm interested in getting Autodesk CAD and sort of playing around with it and teaching myself how to use it. I used it during a quarter long class in 8th grade, which was three years ago, and really enjoyed it. I'm also looking into engineering as a career. I know...
So, right now I'm a junior in high school and looking to go to college for engineering. I still haven't decided on a specific branch of engineering, but one that I'm interested in is biomedical engineering. The colleges that I've been looking at don't have a major in biomedical, but some have a...
Homework Statement
I'm currently trying to decide on a topic for my IB Extended Essay, which is essentially an essay that I'll be doing research for and working on for the next 8 months. Right now, I'm really fascinated by the idea of doing an extended essay on the topic of prosthetics or...

I'm currently trying to decide on a topic for my IB Extended Essay, which is essentially just a long-term essay I'll be working on for the next 8 months or so. The topic of the essay is limited to IB courses I've taken so far, in addition to a few other types of topics that...
Homework Statement
I'm writing a lab report about an experiment I did where I essentially tested the effects of various planetary characteristics on a planet's orbital period. The planetary characteristics that I tested where eccentricity, mass, and distance from the Sun (or semi-major axis)...
Homework Statement
Hello! So, I recently did an experiment where I altered the eccentricity and distance from the sun of a planet orbiting around the Sun in a simulation and measured how long it took the planet to complete a single orbit. With this data, I compared my experimental data with the...
I need an idea of what to test if I were to do a physics experiment about snowboarding. It can be one involving someone riding a snowboard or an empty snowboard. However, I would like it to be relatively simple, as in my rider doesn't have the skills to ride a half pipe or do any big jumps. I...
I'm a junior in high school and currently in the IB Diploma Program. I'm getting ready to start working on my SL Physics Internal Assessment. I was wondering if anyone has any guidance on how complex a topic has to be to score well. I was thinking of testing how the mass, velocity, and...
Hi, yes I am still considering engineering! I do think I would make a pretty good engineer, but I'm trying to see what other things I might be a good fit for and that would interest me. But I have a lot of time to think, so I'm not too worried.
Hi, I'm looking to see if anyone can think of a career that would be a good fit for me. I'm very good at math and potentially interested in science, I really enjoy helping/caring for people, but I'm also kind of introverted. I also like writing and think I'm fairly good at it. I'm assuming...
Hi! I'm a high school student currently looking to potentially go to college for engineering. I'm not very concerned with my abilities in math and science, as I've always done well in those subjects and math in particular is a favorite subject of mine. However, I'm wondering if there's a...
Hi! My name is Emily, I'm a high school student interested in potentially becoming an engineer. I came across this site and thought I'd join and see what information I can find!
