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
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
