C Programming for Mechanical Engineers: Benefits & Applications

AI Thread 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
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
