Embarking on an Engineering Website for Students

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a website called engineeringunlimited.wordpress.com, created to assist high school students interested in pursuing engineering by providing resources and guidance on various engineering disciplines. The creator faces challenges due to financial constraints and limited time as a high school student, seeking assistance from others to enhance the website. Contributors are encouraged to help by sharing their expertise or insights without any financial expectation. Some participants note that similar resources already exist through engineering societies and suggest including example questions and detailed solutions to enhance the site's value. Overall, the initiative aims to support prospective engineering students in their educational journey.

I created a website called engineeringunlimited.wordpress.com . The purpose of my website is share my love of engineering with fellow high school students and give individuals interested in becoming engineers some resources to look at as they choose an engineering discipline to study. I know from my own experience that it is very difficult to find solid engineering websites on the internet that address the many questions prospective engineering students may have, so I would really like for my website to reach out and help guide prospective engineering students to a particular engineering discipline that they really love.

As of right now, the two main problems are that: 1. I'm poor and cannot afford a legit domain, and 2. I'm in high school and can hardly find time to devote hours each day to my website.

For these 2 main reasons, I am asking for assistance in making my dreams I have for Engineering Unlimited possible, so that other students like myself who want to become engineers can benefit from it. Again, my main motivation is to help prospective students, and I am in no way asking for money or charity- all I ask is for help. Whether you are a real engineer or just someone who loves engineering, your contributing efforts towards Engineering Unlimited will be used to help others and not go overlooked. If you are interested in becoming an author/contributor for the site, please PM me.

I thank all of you who would like to help immensely.
(sorry for making this post so long)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Well first of all, PF is a great site for engineers, scientists and mathematicians. Many of the staff are practicing engineers, physicists/scientists, and mathematicians.

Secondly, most if not all engineering societies have excellent websites for their members and public, and they even encourage students to join at very low rates.

So the site as described seems a bit redundant.
 
Good luck with that.

I think having different example questions and worked solutions with detailed explanations would be great. I am an chemical engineering student and that is always what I look for. Plus some help with with tutorial questions.

Which is why I am here.
 
You offer some good information on that site. I enjoyed reading through it, and I will check back from time to time.

Good luck on your endeavor.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
