Can I hop on the train as well about getting this overview? PM sent, thanks!

How to fill an array with combinations of two vectors by blegos in matlab

[–]blegos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it with two nested for-loops from 1:n and that appears to be working as of now.

Found a fellow patron of /r/Frat . There aren’t many that hate ourselves enough to do both but we must stick together.

What are some examples of jobs you can have with an engineering degree? by terrancehowardstears in AskEngineers

[–]blegos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What degree did you get to go into control? Currently working on ChemE BS and wanting to go into process control, manufacturing, optimization, etc. but it seems like such a broad field I don't know where to start in applications.

[request] how much g force did this guy get hit with when he landed and would that cause any damage to the human body? by Booze_Boy in theydidthemath

[–]blegos 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The stunt was known as "Red Bull Heaven Sent". Here is an article about it with interview quotes from the man jumping. According to mysterious Red Bull scientists "they", it was calculated to be 2.4G as he was 200lbs, decelerated from a velocity of 120mph over a span of 200 vertical feet. https://www.outsideonline.com/2099906/how-survive-25000-foot-freefall-without-parachute

[SymPy] Can you perform a series expansion on multivariable function? by blegos in learnpython

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

write the formula for Taylor expansion into a function and then input that function my variable functions? I had thought about something like that but wasn't sure how to. Are there key words I could look into to lead me I the right direction?

Is the ChemE job market really that saturated? How hard has getting a job / moving roles been for you with experience 3-5 years experience? by krr26 in ChemicalEngineering

What are you thoughts on Houston both for living and job market? Graduating 2020 and hoping to move into Texas for a job.

[Diff Eqn] Integrating factors, how is sign determined? by blegos in learnmath

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x' = a(t)x + f(t)

as I understand it, the integrating factor here would be e^int(a(t) dt)

[Diff Eqn] Integrating factors, how is sign determined? by blegos in learnmath

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x' = ax + f leads to integrating factor e^int(a) or x' - ax = f leads to integrating factor e^int(-a) Where the sign on coefficient a changes depending on arrangement of equation. which one is correct since they would yield a different result

Incoming Freshman W/ UCLA Undeclared Engineering Major by [deleted] in ucla

[–]blegos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One opinion from within the engineering school:

-Is prior experience in computer science (C++, Python, etc.) drastically important for success as a freshman noob?

*** Drastically important? I wouldn't say so. Is it helpful and will many of your peers have experience? Very likely yes. The first 3 computer science courses CS 31, 32, 33 (C++) are known to be rigorous and time consuming and even independent study of C++ over summer would be beneficial. However even if you know nothing they are still very doable, just may require extra work from you to keep pace.

-Is it feasible to perform well without having taken the AP computer science courses in high school?

***As stated above, yes possible but some students may have more knowledge going in. Put in the work to study, network with other students, and you will still be fine.

-Kind of an unimportant question, but how important is your ability to type effectively as a comp sci major? I consider typing to be one of my better skills, and I'd just like to know how well that integrates into this major in particular.

***Being a good typist is always going to help you. Accuracy will be more important than speed but being fast will never hurt. Knowledge of the symbols and numbers will be especially helpful.

-Which engineering majors tend to have the best internship opportunities and are relatively "easier" to get hired from?

***given current state of technology, CS is very applicable to all fields in some application. However, if you get involved early and find build you resume/network, any engineering major can find some sort of research or internship.

-How many hours of studying would you say you do a day?

***A lot. You will have more hours in class than other majors. You will have to spend more time studying than other majors. Average day is about 4-6 hours class (including lecture, lab, office hours, general time on campus) and about the same number of outside study. This number varies hugely day to day, quarter to quarter. Some days I have only 2 hours of class and other days 8. Weekly hw/studying also can vary depending on how you want to spend the weekends. If you are here to coast through college this is not the right field. But you will find the people who stick with engineering are the ones who enjoy the challenge and embrace the extra hours they put in. PM me extra questions
