A couple of ideas off the top of my head (I'll start hunting for my list) 3d-Printer (simplified design) Overpowered quad-copter (capable of carrying lightweight future projects) LiDar/mirror apparatus (hardware for weeklong development cycle) Adapt a printer into a t-shirt printer Horseshoe...

I think I want this to be a mix of a great learning experience for working with other people and getting to take a quick, deep dive into a sphere of engineering that one may not have pursued otherwise. Funding is a somewhat questionable thing: in terms of actual customers, are university clubs...

I want to start a discussion in relation to a club I am going to form at my college. A few bits of background: I'm a physics major, but I do love me some engineering. I'm all over the spectrum in interests to say the least, EE, ME, SE, Mat.Sci/Eng., enjoy it all. Prior to transferring to...

Can one adjust the properties of a sound wave to use it to spin an arbitrary object of shape S in a medium comprised of the same material. My intuition tells me that it would be much more difficult (if not impossible) to do this with spherical objects, so for now we can assume the object is...

Thanks Dave, I've been looking at so much literature at this point I don't remember what I tried searching. In the last week and a half I've located at least 50-70 msfr, and have far more potential candidates I have yet to sort out, and the only really definitive way I have been able to confirm...

I've been doing a lot of work with massive star formation regions the last few months, and right now I'm trying to find an easy way to determine most their distance from the earth. By easy I mean if there is anywhere that might have it in their records, like the CDS astronomical archive has a...

Would you care to elaborate on that distinction a bit more in 2d, that's the only part that seems to have me a bit confused. I'm also a physics major so getting this distinction down now would be pretty nice.

The numerical value of concavity does have meaning, the farther away from 0 the value is the greater the change of rate of the derivative. It's like if g = 5 instead of 9.8, we would fall slower, thus taking longer to hit ground. Also, since you get the magnitude of your numerator and...

For now let's assume the particle does not fracture into macroscopic fragments. Should a fate like that befall it then instead the methodology we create here can instead be reapplied for the fragments in question (with a lot of new variables that is). How would one be able to determine the...

I was more interested in learning about the rate of disintegration, distances traveled, heats experienced, and just about different factors that need to be considered and how each of them would likely be playing out as per the relevant formulas .

Im not really interested in a simple formula as much as trying to piece together information to come up with more information and more formulas. I'm interested in the journey for this calculation, not so much the end product. As more variables are introduced I want to see what you have to...

I was thinking about meteorioids and how upon their entry into the atmosphere the large amount of disintegration they experience so i wanted to try running through a calculation of something similar to see if i could i understand it better. I'm going to outline a general thought process I've...

It involved the denominator and easily reducing something in the numerator instead of having to do all the distributing and addition to then reduce. Instead of squaring the denominator everytime you only increased it's power by one. Also it has a factorial pattern in there if i recall correctly...

Hi Guys, I remember back in the days of Calc I learning that there was an easy way to take multiple derivatives of certain functions that needed repeated uses of the quotient rule. I was wondering if anybody remembered that trick.

Disclaimer: Even though this problem originates from a project I was given in a math class, it doesn't really follow the format of any homework assignment and is really much more about general math question. In my math class I was given a project to draw an image with parametric equations. I...
