Engineering field Project in Mississippi

In summary, a junior in high school from Mississippi is participating in a science fair and has chosen engineering as the subject for their project. They are still undecided on a specific topic and ask for ideas. After some discussion, they decide to focus on propeller design in the field of watercraft. They also express concerns about their lack of knowledge in physics and math, but are willing to learn in order to complete their project.

Hi everyone

Im a junior in high school in mississippi and a science fair has just been started at our school. our teacher said that our project can be on any subject and i have decided to do one in the engineering field. Now what exactly i want to do, i am not really sure, so please if you don't mind, i need some ideas before Friday morning (9/19).Thanks alot

What is it about engineering that
you like? When you think about
engineering what particular kind
of engineering do you end up
thinking about the most?

In other words, your best bet is
to narrow things down to what
you are most enthusiastic about.
You like bridges? You like towers?
You like satellites?

So, put your finger on what it is
you're exited enough about to get
through the research and work it
will take to put your project
together.

well, i have decided to do my project on propeller design, but i haven't taken a physics course yet. Is it possible to learn this math and physics for the project out of class or is it within my reach.

Aircraft or watercraft?

im doing it in watercraft, and sorry for the late reply

Have you given any thought about your exact topic?

There are a bunch of things you could do without knowing a whole lot about the intricacies of aerodynamics.

You're only a junior, so you probably won't need to go much deeper than a 'first cut approximation' (correct me if I'm wrong, here... I've never entered a science fair)

yes after some long reading i have decided that my project will be on propeller design and how engine performance is related to that

You could investigate the relationship between pitch, rpm, and power.
