I just completed 1st year engineering program. i have no summer job, i am bored, what to do for this month until school starts again.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
see my last post in who wants to be mathematician, on recommended reading, also recommended for engineers.
 
mathwonk, thank you, a very good suggestion, hey what else to do and definatelly I 'll need it.
 
see especially post 194
 
You're an engineer. Act like it and take apart something expensive.
