Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
 

Jason, you hold his arms back while I cement his feet. I live miraculously close to Lake Michigan (large tides this season, don'tcha know).

Be warned, all you poor, crying Enginerds - English is NO piece of cake. For instance, the week before Atlanta, I figured out the stats: I had a total of seventy-some pages of papers to write, a presentation, and two projects. Sounds like a piece of cake, but the work can really pile up if you've got other things to take care of, too *cough*IRI season begins now*cough* .

But you know, after I typed this out, I got to thinkin'. COLLEGE is no piece of cake. It wouldn't be coveted to have some kind of degree these days if it were a walk through the park. Just keep your feet on the ground, and most of all, evaluate what is important to YOU. Not anyone else, just YOU.

You'd better stick with 'General Studies',

We must have been in school at the same time. And the computer we built took up one whole floor of the engineering building.

We had hills, too. Uphill, Both ways. And we had snow when it 110F in the shade. Except I lived in a rich district, so we had a bus. No engine, though. So we pushed it to and from school. It was a lot of work, but we could put our book bags inside. No wait, that was before bookbags, we tied them together with an old belt. And our books were heavier, and had more problems in them.

Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
 

i'm deciding between to major between biomedical engineering or mechanical engineering-- and senior year is coming up fast--- like 22 more days and i'm a senior

i really hope that i can get through college-- i'm really not the smartest person in the world-- takes me forever to get concepts and sometime i'm not sure why i want to go into engineering since i'm not the greatest in math and science but all i know i luv robotics and always have been interested in the study of medicine--all well--some how i'll make it through and well i hope everyone gets through schooling okay too-- BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE IN ALL THINGS U GUYS DO!!!

No one mentioned the fun of finals yet :(. Thinking of this as I spend my weekend studying for a heat transfer final on Monday. ME is a very tough major and now that I am just finishing up I'm happy I decided on sticking with it. It wasn't (isn't) easy but I'm finally almost done :). Now all that's left is to find a job :D .

Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
 

Last quarter in my dynamics lab class.. after some discussion about the average score being <50%, the professor gave us a little advice and a simple math equation.





(By no means do I feel this way, I just thought it was funny and thought I would share it...) ;)

That would be funny if my gpa wasn't approaching zero.

You know I'm gonna remember this post a year from now when I'm buried beneath my ME/EE books. I look forward to sitting there trying to understand my Calc teacher saying "understand?" in a foreign acsent...*touch of sarcasm*

Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
 

Yea.. I actually don't think Fluids is tooo bad. Heat Transfer right now is MUCH, MUCH worse. :confused:

Re: Majoring in Mechanical Engineering
 

I agree with this 100% Heat transfer in fact be work of the devil too keep engineering students down.

If I hear finite differeance approx. 1 more time I may kill someone.
