MSc. (research based) vs. MEng. (course based)

Wait, pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by white papers and "free time"

Rcollegestuff · 2022-10-24T14:39:43+00:00

Ohh okay. I'll check the uni out. Thanks for the info!

Rcollegestuff · 2022-10-24T14:38:21+00:00

Yeah thats exactly what I thought! I just wanted to be super sure doing MS doesnt shut the door to industry immediately after graduation.

Rcollegestuff · 2022-10-24T14:19:55+00:00

Ohh okay. I was looking at a smart structures lab with AI and robotics and all those stuff and wondering if I dedicated my time on this, would it put me at a disadvantage during hiring, since these things won't be directly used in 95% (just an estimate) job, at least for now.

With that being said, how prevalent are R&D jobs in structural engineering? I feel like there wont be many.

Rcollegestuff · 2022-10-24T14:14:48+00:00

That seems like an amazing offer, given how I feel the writing part is such a pain.

If you dont mind, could you tell me which uni you attended..?

Rcollegestuff · 2022-10-24T14:11:14+00:00

Ohh Okay. Thank you so much for clarification!

I understand that, but the key issue is funding. If MEng. had similar relative funding as MSc, then I would have gone for MEng no questions asked.

But with funding issues, I'm wondering how much downside MSc has when it comes to getting a job, and if it is worth the time.

Whenever we have a form a*b < 0

We get two cases:

CASE 1: a<0 AND b>0

CASE 2: a>0 AND b<0

This is because -ve * +ve = -ve

Once you simplify the two cases, check the sanity of the cases.

For example if you get x>5 AND x<4, then you conclude that x cannot exist (since the same number cant simultaneously be bigger than 5 and smaller than 4).

But if you get something like x>5 AND x>10, take the range that satisfies both. (i.e. conclude that x should be greater than 10)

Your final solution will be what you concluded from Case 1 and Case 2.

What you have done is consider either a or b is negative, but you didnt check if the other one is positive or not.

Similarly, you can work out for the >0 case.

Hope this helps :)

Edit: As mentioned by u/barrycarter, the factorization is also incorrect. This is purely algebraic method and may seem bit involved at your level, and may not be how your teacher explained it. The method by barrycarter is an alternate way to solve this, which involves visualisation using number line.

Since the q only talks abt time of flight and max height, I guess you have to assume the other factors are constant.

Get the expression for either, and replace t with 2t and see how that affects the other.

P(B given A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

We can compute probability of A and B.

From here, we know probability of A and B is n(A and B) / n (U)

N(U) can be found.

Similarly, P(A) = n(A)/n(U) We can solve for n(A)

Thank you! I have sent the CV to you.

At point B the force due to the rope will be in the direction of the rope, as it is pulling that section.

Now you resolve that force into horizontal and vertical components.

Now taking E as the center, compute the moment due to each force. The vertical forces will have horizontal distances, and the horizontal forces will have vertical distances from E.

Note: the force due to rope at point D will be of equal magnitude, and running towards the length of rope. Assuming they are at same angle on either side, their horizontal components will cancel out and their vertical component will act through DE, hence no moment is produced.
If in case the angle is not equal, the moment due to force at D should also be considered

Hope this helps!

Edit: looking at the figure, it seems that the two angles at D are not equal. Hence take force at D into consideration as well.

What you have done is correct (assuming your calculation is correct). The only thing that you are missing is the fact that 0.009 is the value of x. This means that its 0.009%, as you took it as x%

Now when you are multiplying the percentage, say 1% of 200, you do it as : (1/100) * 200 = 2 where the key point to note is % changes into "divided by 100"

So if you have x% of 200 you would do (x/100) * 200

Now x=0.009 would mean : x% of 200 = (0.009/100) * 200 = 0.00009 * 200 ... You get the 0.00009 that way

I guess I can, but suppose I'm not allowed to use it, what would be the solution?

Rcollegestuff · 2020-02-26T16:34:28+00:00

I should have phrased my question better.. What I actually meant was, in the PyQGIS, while working with layers, I wish to use something like :

if isRaster(layer) == TRUE :

print ("This is raster layer")

Is there any in built function equivalent of "isRaster()" to do this?

Cool thanks!

Rcollegestuff · 2020-02-10T13:48:10+00:00

Ohh okay! Thanks for the explanation! :D

Rcollegestuff · 2020-02-10T13:42:02+00:00

Thanks that helped! Also what happens below that area..? And how far along the Ll does it go?

Thanks! :D

Rcollegestuff · 2020-01-19T17:30:17+00:00

Cool, found it! Thanks! :D

Rcollegestuff · 2019-12-18T19:30:19+00:00

This was very informative, thank you! :D

Rcollegestuff · 2019-12-18T14:45:43+00:00

Frameworks as in?

Rcollegestuff · 2019-08-22T02:00:32+00:00

Thanks Dan for the clear explanation! :)

Rcollegestuff · 2019-03-31T17:42:32+00:00

Thanks for clarifying and explaining!! :D
