C Programming for Mechanical Engineers: Benefits & Applications

Click For Summary
C programming is beneficial for mechanical engineers, enhancing problem-solving skills and providing a foundational understanding of programming concepts. While low-level languages like Fortran and C++ are useful, high-level languages such as Matlab are often more applicable in engineering contexts. Programming knowledge is increasingly important in areas like simulation, modeling, and automation within mechanical engineering. Learning to program fosters critical thinking and analytical skills essential for engineering tasks. Recommended resources for further learning include books tailored to mechanical engineers focusing on programming applications.

Is C programming language necessary for Mechanical Engineers? Why? And where we use it?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Having knowledge of programming languages are very useful. Low-level programming languages such as Fortran or C++ are useful, but not always required. At least learn a high-level such as Matlab, you'll use that quite often.
 
I'd also like to add that, beyond the specific syntax of a language, learning how to program will teach you a way of thinking that is very important for engineers.
 
Please tell me were we use programming languages in ME's

Thanks for giving advise
 
Please tell me good books for MEs
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
