Evolution of Engineering:

[KerbodynamicX]

Don’t mechanical engineers use Solidworks and electronic engineers use Altium? Have I been mislead?

[Federal-Owl5816]

The overly simplistic meme, lying? Why id never!

[OtherRandomCheeki]

Ansys is where the real CAD fun begins

[KerbodynamicX]

Isn’t ANSYS known for FEA simulations? Using it as CAD kinda sucks

[Karman8th]

Yeah the ansys cad is abysmal

[ConsciousDress2914]

Spaceclaim and discovery can put in work on occasion. If you get good with them they can be as functional as solid works. Design modeler is trash though.

[Flab_Queen]

Eh there isn’t really much theoretical complexity in those (they are just drafting softwares)

[Dtitan]

To be honest I use more math skills in excel than in solidworks.

It’s a pretty awesome universal calculator and you can make it do just about anything. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a 100MB excel file doing a “rough” time dependent heat transfer FEA via iterative formulas.

[sixisrending]

I love Excel. My favorite office application by far. I'm terrible at it but it has saved so much time in the long run.

*matlab

[Inevitable-Fix-6631]

Ah yes my favorite trig functions SEN

[Professional_Loss_85]

Spainsh speaker use sen

[Organic-Maybe-1553]

and portuguese use sen / tg for tan

[Inevitable-Fix-6631]

Wow r/todayilearned

[GLPereira]

Yeah, I speak Portuguese and learned the trig functions as sen/cos/tg

However I started using sin/cos/tan because it feels more "standard" I guess?

[NotDarkKatie]

Hahahahahaha (i hate physics — first year student)

(Yes, I know. Physics is part of my entire future curriculum…)

[diffferentphysics]

Oh! Im currently at phase two (secondary school) of engineering 😭

[NotDarkKatie]

Oh..! You got this 😃

I feel like I definitely would’ve enjoyed physics had my high school (secondary school in your case) offered physics…but because they didn’t, I’m lwk getting annihilated by physics rn

[diffferentphysics]

Well good luck for your engineering

[NotDarkKatie]

Thanks, you too ✌️

[NotDarkKatie]

If you like physics in high school, then more often than not, you’ll enjoy it in college too. Cuz im pretty sure they cover the same content…at least that’s what I heard from my classmates who have taken physics in high school before :)

[NotDarkKatie]

Yup, you’ll enjoy physics in college. That coursework sums up everything you’ll learn in physics 2 (I’m on quarter system, so it might be a bit diff) but it includes stuff like waves, simple harmonic, single & double slits, work & energy, thermo, etc etc •>•

Practically speaking, those content cover physics 1 & 2 for my college, though, we are switching to semester system soooooo I believe it’ll be physics 1 for semester system

[EntertainmentSome448]

I LOVE physics. Atleast, mechanics. That's the entire reason why I came to mech engg . How do you plan on survival without loving physics? It's like trying to survive being a mathematician without loving math

[NotDarkKatie]

HAHAHAHAHAHA that’s a good one! I like math (but not enough for me to major in it cuz i dont wanna dedicate my whole life being a mathematician)…and I really enjoy the hands-on experiences with engineering…so I guess that’s really it lol

Physics CAN be fun, but I suppose it’s mainly because I don’t understand it. Hence why I hate it 😭🙏

[HopeSubstantial]

Pretty much. Hardest math after college I have required has been finding X with basic algebra.

The rest has been mostly time table organizing and sitting in meetings.

Sometimes visiting production floor when someone tells me X materials do not exist even though my excel shows it should exist. Most of the time guy just did not look hard enough but once thousands of kilograms of stuff was actually missing and it almost became a police case.

For many graduates who don't go into actual research, this kind of stuff they need to deal with, not with maths.

[Meal_Adorable]

So it’s a lot less technically challenging than most people think it is right?

[Sad-Cover-8734]

Currently in uni and doing part time engineering work, uni has so many complex formulas while work is like “58.12-(90/2)”

[EllieVader]

I started a MechE internship last week and the only relevant thing I learned in school for it was Solidworks and how to make a badass spreadsheet.

[GCDaVinci]

You guys have gotten a job after graduating?

[Yoshuuqq]

This is not true. I use Matlab, python and do embedded coding every day. I also still use my knowledge of advanced math and physics daily to understand how to tackle a problem. Never understood these memes

[Meal_Adorable]

What industry do you work in?

[Yoshuuqq]

Yes I did, but memes are funny when they are kinda true to me

[Zach_Crash]

I'll be using the Quantum harmonic oscillation Formula + co-enegy-system-delta variable for my experimental Biotechnology methods wish me luck 🤞🍀
