Engineering career conlsultation

AI Thread Summary
Software engineering is often categorized under Computer Science at many colleges, which may explain its absence in some engineering programs. The career is generally viewed positively, but concerns about outsourcing exist, particularly for entry-level positions. Students interested in this field should seek out computer science courses to build foundational skills. Chemical and petroleum engineering, as well as engineering management, are also viable options with strong career prospects. Overall, pursuing a degree in software engineering or related fields can lead to a rewarding career in technology.

hi i am senior in high school and looking forward to engineering. i am currently interested in software engineering and would like any advice/information that's helpful. i have heard its a good career, but for some reason it seems that its not very common among engineering, as i have seen that a lot of colleges don't have it (this forum doesn't have a section for software engineering either). i also heard that software engineers get outsourced after couple of years so please let me know if that's true. my school doesn't have that many computer classes but i have taken Business computer applications I - II.

my other interests were chemical/petroleum engineering and engineering management so any information/advice on that would be helpful as well

thanks.

Software engineering probably shows up as Computer Science at lots of colleges.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

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...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

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...
