Summary:: What propelling mechanism can get me most consistent shots? Compressed air, spring powered, rubber band powered or any other Hello, I am a high school student participating in a local competition where I have to make a turret. Here are the rules: 1) The projectile has to fall in a...

Hi Currently doing finish my HND mechanical engineering (distinction so far) and have HNC in general engineering (distinctions). I am late twenties so looking for unis to do top-up degree or second/third year uni. I've just come across open uni. Has anybody done or know about the OU Beng...

hi, i don't know if this qualifies as a question or not, but this is something i can't really understand. i am an engineering undergrad, when we are learning about the pros and cons of different method of doing anything , for example maximum power point tracking in PV systems, we discussed a...

Hello everyone! I'm currently a student about to get my AA degree at the end of the semester so the time has come for me to transfer from community college to university and, most importantly, decide on a major. Throughout my college career thus far, I've bounced around with ideas like...

Hi, I want to be an engineer but am not completely decided on what kind. I was wondering if I get a general engineering degree and get a specialization in electrical engineering, will this allow me to pursue a job as an electrical/electronics engineer out of college? Any help would be...

I'm attempting to build my own pm generator and am trying to calculate voltage output. I see the formula for voltage output is N = number of turns of a coil, A = area of the coil and M = rate of magnetic field change in Tesla's/sec. So V=NxAxM Ok I get most of that,but what is eluding me is how...

I am compiling a list of schools to apply to once I finish my lower-division coursework at Community College. Harvey Mudd is among the schools I am considering. I know Harvey Mudd is highly-regarded and their engineering program is ranked number 1 among schools where a master's degree is the...

How to learn "general engineering"? Hi. I'm a third year physics bachelor student. I'd like to learn how to apply my physics knowledge to the design of products. Which skills do you think should I try to learn? Like: 3D design, technical drawing, electronics... In other words: once I know the...

Dear All, I'll need your guidance on how to solve the equation generally encountered in engineering equations, which is mainly in that form M*X''(t)+C*X'(t)+K*X(t) = F(t), where M, C, K and F(t) are mass, damp, stiffness and external force matrices respectively. Actually those equation may...

The period T of a pendulum of length L, mass m in a gravitational field g ms-2 is suspected to be a function of L, m and g. If it is postulated that T=KLxmygz where K is a dimensionless constant, use dimensional analysis to obtain the constants x, y and z. There's only one pi group I came up...

Homework Statement Hi all, So I am in an intro to design and ethics class and we are creating a theoretical design project. Basically just going through the 10 steps, but actually coming up with ideas, doing research, and conceptually creating some alternative solutions (the project...

Hi, I'm a graduating senior in high school in NY. I'm going to be attending a mostly liberal arts college in NH next year; but I will most likely major in one type of engineering. My engineering interests include AI, cloud computing, semiconductors, energy storage systems (ultracapacitors...

So the University of Queensland offers an optional first year general engineering program; at which point you choose a specialization. Alternatively, I think I can just jump straight into Chemical Engineering, which I'm pretty sure is the one i want. I can't know for sure until i get some...

I am an undergrad in civil. I've heard the current job prospect for civil engineering isn't looking very good, especially in the structural side. So I am tempting to switch out. I am equally interested in mechanical and civil, however, my gpa wasn't good enough to get into mechanical. So instead...

Engineering, of whatever field, tends to have a course which is predetermined, and there isn't much room for electives, or a minor. I also understand, that Engineering (generally speaking) is mostly applications of Physics and Math. That said, I was wondering, could I "create" my own general...
