AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty and advancement of aerospace versus electrical engineering. Participants highlight that each engineering discipline presents unique challenges and rewards, making it hard to generalize which is more difficult. Aerospace engineering is noted for its tough courses and overlap with mechanical engineering, while electrical engineering is considered somewhat easier due to its foundational principles. Ultimately, personal interest in a specific field is emphasized as the most important factor in choosing an engineering path. The conversation concludes that preferences play a crucial role in determining the perceived difficulty of engineering disciplines.

Which branch of engineering is more difficult to study and more advanced in the world, aerospace engineering or electrical engineering?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
umm i would say aerospace but that's just me... and you can't really generalize engineering, all departments has its challenges, its own difficulties and its own rewards, we all you different lil gadgets and toys.
it really comes down to what type of engineering you like best... and for me it was mining
 
chemical is hardest

between aerospace and meche - depends. aerospace has hard courses, and its not really that 'separate' from mechanical. electrical is a bit easier than some aerospace concepts, as its based on only a few underlying principles of electricity & magnetism and their interactions
 
This is a commonly discussed, and completely meaningless topic.
 
I always go for what I like best :)

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?'

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...
