    Graduating ME Student Seeking Entry Level Job Advice

    To elaborate, my areas of interest have collected around precision automation. I especially enjoy projects where human operators cannot function or where human operators are being replaced. This can be UAV type systems where there is an operator, a manufacturing process that is run by an...

    Graduating ME Student Seeking Entry Level Job Advice

    I was also hoping you could give me some information about your career. What were some good moves and bad moves? Where do you think you have grown the most? Was there any work you don't feel has improved you as much as other things?

    Graduating ME Student Seeking Entry Level Job Advice

    Thanks for the response about embedded systems programming. What kind of work should I be looking for, that a new graduate can get, and that will give me some exposure to the kinds of robotics/mechatronics/control system's knowledge that I will need so that in 5 years when I feel like moving...

    Graduating ME Student Seeking Entry Level Job Advice

    Thanks a lot for the response! I haven't read all of your response yet, only the first paragraph, but there appears to be some miscommunication. I am NOT trying to get a job that requires 5 years of experience right out of school. I am looking for a good starting job that will give me the...

    Engineering MECHATRONICS vs MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL engineering

    That's interesting that your university has a mechatronics degree plan. I'm graduating with a mechanical engineering degree this summer and most of my job interests are mechatronics related. If I find out more information I will definitely add some more information. Regardless, all of those...

    Graduating ME Student Seeking Entry Level Job Advice

    Hi, I'm graduating this summer with my ME degree. I've started my job hunt and I have a few questions. When looking for jobs I keep stumbling across positions that require a good 5-10 years of experience that fit the bill of my interests succinctly. For example, this boeing job fits most of...

    I want to go into the field of nanotechnology. I know you need a

    I'm a mechanical engineering graduate and most of my undergraduate research was in nanocomposite polymers. We improved the desired characteristics of polymers through the addition of nanoadditives. The field of nanotechnology is quite broad as MATLABdude pointed out and what I just mentioned...

    Fun integration for a differential equation

    lol I can append a negative sign or I can go through the trouble of making it a fraction with a power; so no, that is what you mean. But you so basically all I found out was that it is as gross as I thought it was.

    Fun integration for a differential equation

    Alrighty, if you think I made a mistake earlier on then here is the full problem. Notice that the equation y'' - 4y'+4y' = t^{-2} is equivalent to w'-2w=t^{-2} and y'-2y=w Solve first for w and then for y. for attacking ole w there I just used an integrating factor which you get as e^-2t...

    Fun integration for a differential equation

    Homework Statement This is just a piece of a differential equation where I'm just trying to solve this single gross integration and as there are no initial conditions laplace transforms are out so here it is: \int t^{-2}e^{-2t} The Attempt at a Solution I tried doing a...

    Rotor Dynamics Quantification HELP

    If you make up numbers it will be blatantly apparent unless the numbers are very close to what I expect but untruthfully accurate given the theory you used. Just by assuming some nominal value for the figure of merit, I can make some assumptions as to the power required to generate a given...

    Rotor Dynamics Quantification HELP

    A bit of a remission, but I return with more questions and clarifications. To start I shall include some equations for questioning. Also, all of my concerns are for rotors in hover.(1) C_{T}=\int^{1}_{0}\frac{\sigma}{2}r^{2}c_{l}dr (2)\sigma=\frac{Nc}{\pi R} this assumes constant chord (i...

    Aggravating Calculus problem; proceed at your own risk :P

    C_{T}=\int^{0}_{1}\frac{\sigma}{2}r^{2}c_{l}dr \sigma=\frac{Nc}{\pi R} this assumes constant chord (i need to revise this for blade taper) N: Number of blades c: chord R: radius c_{l}=a\alpha a: rotor slope of leading edge alpha: angle of attack C_{p}=\int \lambda...

    Rotor Dynamics Quantification HELP

    Thanks for the response. Most of what you said I just miss-worded and gotten hip with the jargon since. However, I think you can in fact help me. The book I used after a good sample of 5 different helicopter dynamics books was Helicopter Theory by Wayne Johnson. By fixed area at the time I...
