Thank you all for your input, I really appreciate all the time people took to write out well thought out responses. Another thing I would like to add is that I also got accepted into the University of Buffalo for aerospace and the total cost for four years comes out to 54k. The reasons I left...

Hey guys I've gotten accepted into RIT Rochester Institute of Technology for electrical engineering and Embry Riddle for Aerospace engineering. I'm a non traditional student aged 28 with a BA in Econ who always had a passion for engineering. I am still making up my mind between EE or Aero. I...

But what about a balloon that takes a rocket up to a very high altitude and then fires the rocket away from earth? Should be less than $10k

With a small budget would it be possible to make a rocket capable of delivering a small probe to the moon? A rocket that puts the probe into Earth orbit and them Hoffman transfer to the moon and guides itself to the surface? I am talking very small, maybe the size of a baseball, that...

Thx, looks like my thread got hijacked lol EDIT: Thank you again, i think this is what I was looking for, great resources

Thank you for your response, yes the diagonal of a square is a good example. But let's study that for a minute, to arrive at the diagonal you would need the pythagorean theorem and for that, somebody had to be curious enough to need a solution to a diagonal of a triangle. We can say that...

The history of mathematics...help with resources Hey guys I need help finding good resources to help me understand basic to advance math from a developmental point of view, the applied necessities of the inventors of math operations and concepts. For example the addition operation was...

perhaps, I am not sure but maybe a group of functions needs to be created, each unique function for maybe i don't 1 sec time intervals and plot each function on a graph and then approx one function from that, not sure if that makes sense, just something i came up with

Yes, the ball has a negative acceleration, i guess what I was trying to say was that my first thought was that this problem is a simple motion problem, negative and positive acceleration are in my opinion the same type of force but in different directions and you can "plug and chug". But then I...

From what I understand, the equation that was created cannot be the right equation simply because of the y intercept first of all being more than 0. So either the data was entered incorrectly or the regression function is not working properly. Perhaps run the regression in an excel spreadsheet...

Thanks guys really appreciate the help I've gotten

Is it hard to find jobs with such a degree?

I see, thank you for clarifying that, I guess the nature of the beast is such that the complexity requires very specialized groups that work on each sub component and that to make something of that magnitude is impossible for one man. The jet engine it seems at the production level is too...

I see...thank you for your input. Are there certain types of engineering that are generally more hands on than other types? My research has led me to believe that: Mechanical engineering and Manufacturing engineering would generally be the two most hands on type of areas Also another...

I see, well I guess I've been sold a bill of goods then. I totally understand that a jet engine is extremely complex, and requires many different disciplines, but i thought that to actually design an engine, you needed to design it in 3d cad, then have the prototype manufactured and assembled...
