    Doubts Engineering
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the curriculum of mechanical engineering (ME) programs, with an individual seeking clarity on whether their current program aligns with common standards. Key subjects typically included in ME programs are advanced mathematics courses such as Calculus, Differential Equations, and Statistics, alongside foundational sciences like Chemistry and Physics. Core engineering courses often encompass Statics, Strength of Materials, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials. Additional topics may include Engineering Materials, Advanced Thermodynamics, Manufacturing Processes, Kinematics of Machines, Design of Mechanical Elements, and a Senior Project. The conversation highlights variations in program requirements, particularly regarding specialized courses like Partial Differential Equations.

Hello, I've been studying mech engineering for the past 2 years but over the past month I've been reading about other people's ME program and I'm not sure if mine is good enough.

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what subjects you took or are taught commonly during ME?

Also, sorry for my english, it's not my first languaje.

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
