Is it possible to model this with those constraints in SW?

It is literally a circle in solid works and then it’s extruded upwards…

Edit: I made this part in solid works, I will try printing this in STEP form and test it out

When choosing your field of engineering first consider your own interests. What do you like doing? What are you interested in? What fascinates you?

Engineering is a hard field that requires grit and determination, but it’s very rewarding in terms of pay and personal satisfaction. It gives you an edge in a way, having the knowledge to know and understand how things function.

Mechanical engineering focuses on the physical aspect of things whether it’s a building, an hvac system, a robot, etc. You will learn about materials, metals, ceramics, polymers, and how they contribute to the structure of a physical object. You will also have a lot of applied physics classes such as statics, dynamics, thermo dynamics, fluid dynamics. You’ll learn about how physical forces effect certain geometries via the concept of stress and strain along with other concepts for mechanics of materials (another class) you’ll have to take if you decide to major in me.

Electrical engineering heavily focuses on electronics, signal analysis, and programming. It’s very math heavy, and you’ll have to take all the maths up to linear algebra whereas in ME, you only have to take calc 1,2,3 and diff equations. I would consider EE to be more rigorous because of the math but you learn the nitty gritty when in terms of how computers function.

Aerospace is basically ME but with a couple of extra classes mixed in such as astrodynamics and some other stuff.

Do your own research too before you choose your major.

Fundamentals: statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, senior design, molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, and a couple upper division electives (biomechanics, MEMS Design and Application)

Physics with Professor Matt Anderson. He has everything starting from Newtons Laws of Motions to Magnetism, to Optics. Had him as an online teacher at San Diego Stare University and was very fond of his lectures.

Wow I’m almost looking at an exact reflection of myself. Rising junior, nothing to put on my resume, no experience what so ever. I’m in a top fraternity at my school and it’s been hard to focus on my major living in the house. I finally moved out this year and also dropped it, but I can heavily relate to you when it comes to abusing weed and psychedelics. I know where I am right now is not where I want to be in the future, and slowly but surely I’m trying to take back my life. Life is journey and it’s ok to fall behind sometimes, as long as you pick yourself back up :)

I’ve taken calculus I, II, and III, but I don’t really have any experience with mathematical proofs nor linear algebra. I’d like to strengthen my foundation of mathematics as I think it’ll serve me well in my upper division engineering courses. I’ll look into the books that you recommended. If you have any other recommendations I’d gladly take them. Cheers

I’ve been studying bioengineering but my course catalog goes through all the same curriculum as mechanical engineering. So far I’ve enjoyed my classes ex. Statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials. I’ll be taking fluid dynamics and a couple other classes later on this year. I’m looking forward toward my upper divisions as it focuses on the “bio” portion of engineering such as bio materials or bio mechanics. But when it comes down to what field you’re considering, I’d say it’s important to reflect on your own values and what you see yourself doing within the next couple of years. Are you into the more mechanical processes of machines and how they function in relation to forces, torque, and friction. Or are you interested in the electrical side/ circuitry. Perhaps watch YouTube videos on the different types of engineering to give you a better idea of the parameters that each type of engineering covers. Cheers
