Hello,

I am a BSME senior with NE minor graduating in August 2019 from UTA. I am very interested in fusion power, space travel, and electrical engineering (lol). I almost wish I had picked EE instead of ME. It's more interesting to me. I just joined an EE student and together we are building a demo version of a nuclear fusor (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor) for a research project. Our primary goal is to study plasma interaction with varying cathode geometry without undergoing nuclear fusion (fusion may be a goal after our primary goals are met). I registered here to get a better understanding of some of my nuclear coursework.

Thank you.

Thank you!
 
Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
