Wishing I had the same course load as you.

LMFAO, be careful of what you wish for. Trust me you don't want this. I knew it was a bad idea from the beginning but my friend INSISTED that it wouldn't be that bad. But I'm suffering for it now and it sucks balls.

Gonna lighten the load up a tad next quarter.

Currently I'm taking fluid mechanics II, fluid mechanics lab, heat transfer, material science lab, and a manufacturing processes course.

I am DYING of sleep, and heat transfer is owning me at the moment.

yeah strengths wasn't bad. And heat transfer is crazy, interesting just really hard. its also the teachers first semester teaching, gave us a 50 min test that took him 35-40 min to do. did not go well for anyone.

I'm taking heat transfer, circuit theory, Mechanical Design II, Manufacturing Methods, Instruments and Measurments lab and Modern Control. 18 hours don't do it.

lol O man that sounds similar to my next quarter. I'll be taking instruments and measurements, as well as mechanical design II, but not circuit theory, never heard of that at my school.

That's what you hope to be taking. Right? My enrollment appt. isn't until the 28th @ 1130A.

g-via · 10-20-2010, 01:47 PM

HVAC Midterm in 2 hrs

any tricks of the trade I don't know?!

cool thread. i graduated from university of maryland college park over the summer , b/s in mechanical engineering.

lflkajfj12123 · 10-20-2010, 09:03 PM

dude thats awesome. im an ME major at sdsu. looking to graduate a year from now (yea i know im slow lol)

I kinda wish i did civil. seems as though there is more job selection as it is more broad.

been putting off fluid dynamics. gonna force myself to take it this coming semester. any tips?

oh and FUCK mechanics of materials.

haha you're an ME and have mechanics of materials?!?! Enjoy the upper level classes.

Also, fluid dynamics is breeze up until you hit compressible fluids, strength of materials requires work imo.

ME's have a lot of job selection than Civils imo because they're limited as to what industries they can get into where as ME's do basically everything. I've seen a broader array of jobs for ME's than most other Engineering fields except a very few.

Mechanical is way more broad, and have more jobs out there. I see Civil is pretty much Mechanical minus the thermo stuff plus some soil bs. At the end, it really doesn't matter which degree you have.

Fluids is like thermo. Once you conceptually understand it, it just clicks.

mothon · 01-14-2011, 07:06 PM

What classes do you guys have for this semester???

Im taking

Thermodynamics
Reservoir rock properties w/ lab
Structural geology and stratigraphy
Some lame 1 hour class for transfer PE students
and weight training because i need the extra credit hour.

Rock properties is supposed to be the hardest class in the curriculum...I'm not looking forward to it.
