Really? I know this doesn't count, but at the moment I make somewhat physically accurate game engines in my spare time, though I've been thinking about making realistic physics simulators from scratch. If I have a portfolio of simulators that I've designed, how would it help, and what kind of...
I'm about two years from completing a mech engineering degree, and I've realized that the thought of having a 9-5, 8 hours a day / 5 day a week job doesn't appeal to me. What I'd really like to do is work as a freelance programmer (ideally as a game designer, though realistically I'll only...
currently I'm a student at the City College of New York, but New York City is expensive as hell to live in, I plain just don't like the city, and the reason I've been living here has been to be with my girl friend, who I'm breaking up with. So, I want to transfer somewhere, some place that's...
it wouldn't help, eh? hmmm, maybe i'll just learn about this stuff on the side on my own... anyone have any thoughts on how the job market treats people with a bachelors in physics vs a bachelors in engineering; as far as the availability of jobs, and pay?
as someone stupid enough to sign up for courses without checking to see if they'll actually go towards my degree (i know, I'm a ****ing idiot) and thus ending up taking both algebra and calculus based physics, i can tell you that there's not a hell of a lot of difference. you learn all the same...
i'm working on my BE in mechanical engineering right now (and I've still got a ways to go) and I'm really interested in the aspects of physics that we don't really get into in the engineering program, so i started toying around with the idea of getting a masters in physics afterwards. i know, i...
Ah... when you say manufacturing and process flow, do you mean devising ways to manufacture products as time and cost efficiently as possible? Because that actually sounds like something I would like to do, as long as I don't have to deal with too many stupid shmucks wearing suits, telling me...
"Industrial" vs "Mechanical" Engineers
I was just reading an article in Time magazine about which career people are the most happy with their jobs, and "Industrial Engineers" rated as being rather satisfied with their jobs while "Mechanical Engineers" rated their jobs as just so-so. As a...
I'm almost 25 years old and I've finally started going to college, for a bachelors in mechanical engineering. I feel like it's the perfect major for me: I love math and physics, and I love creating things. My only problem is that I'm not wild about the idea of having a 9-5 job, working 5 days...
