AI Thread Summary
Choosing between mechanical and electrical engineering can be challenging, especially when interests overlap. Integrated engineering programs, which combine elements of both fields, are available at some universities and may be worth exploring. Obtaining a Professional Engineer (PE) license can enhance career opportunities, particularly in mechanical engineering, where the scope of work is broader. Additionally, some universities offer a degree in electro-mechanical engineering, blending both disciplines. It's essential to research specific programs to find the best fit for individual interests and career goals.

I don't know what engineering degree to pick? Mechanical or electrical! I like both. I also heard of integrated engineering at some university? any idea about that?

There's no way we could possibly help you pick a major without knowing anything at all about you.

One thing do, if you get your PE after your degree then you can sign of on more stuff as a mechanical engineer then as an electrical. Chicks in electrical engineering are way hotter do (just kidding).
 
there is a degree call electro-mechanical engineering offered in some universities, they do teach you stuff from both electrical and mechanical side, but you will have to find out as to which university offer this degree.
 

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 '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...
