Listen to this advice. As someone who went to a decent undergrad school and is now attending a very respectable grad school, I would second the opinion that you just can't plan out your career like I'm hearing a lot of in this thread. Just take your time and enjoy the journey. Have fun. Learn...
My group posts all dissertations from all past students. I wouldn't be surprised if others do as well. I would suggest finding groups that are working in a field you're interested in and checking their websites.

If you're only concerned about the job market petroleum engineers make the highest average salary of all undergraduate degrees. This field is very different than biomedical though. The key is to work on something you love, because whatever you pick it will not be an easy road. You need to make...
This may not be too helpful, but I have a friend who is currently doing structural engineering in the civil engineering department at Stanford after doing a bachelor of engineering in mechanical and a couple years of work experience at a mechanical-oriented company, so I think this transition...
Well, velocity is a function of radius, so you can write F = constants * r^2 so then
dF = 2*constants*r*dr
This would give:
dT = dF x r
dT = 2 * constants * r^2 * dr
T = 2/3 * constants * R^3
which is different than either of my other proposed solutions! Does this seem correct?
Homework Statement
In this problem, I am asked to find the total torque acting on a device consisting of two open half-cylinders connected to a shaft rotating in a fluid. To clarify, they are half-cylinders in the sense that they have been cut in half in the lengthwise direction and are...
