Week 2
Wow...well, hi, not sure if im still on anyone's friends list, guess ill just update and see what happens. For all of you who don't know/forgot/*lame excuse #53 not found* im at the University of Bristol, reading Aerospace Engineering. This year we have to accummulate 120cp (i thought it was 12 silver pieces too, but after taking my £1.20 to
( Read more... )
Fluid and Thermodynamics - We did Thermo in Sem. 1, so not much change there then. We studied Mechanics Of Fluids in Sem. 2, but that's probably not the same as what you're doing yet, so I guess we did the 'fluid' part as straight Thermo.
Aeronautics and Mechanics - We did Mechanics Sem. 2, and studied Mechanics of Flight in Sem. 2 also, which probably covers what you're doing, in a little more depth.
Engineering Mathematics - Yup, ditto here.
Structures and Materials - We did Properties of Materials and Mechanics of Solids in Sem. 1, so that seems fairly coherent.
Design and Computing - The aero people do a different design and computing course from all the other engineers here (we're special), combining computing and drawing-board-packages, meaning that hand-drawn design sketches aren't actually a necessity throughout the course (though computer-based ones are though, natch).
Fundamentals of Electronics - This was included in our Sem. 2 Electrical Systems, where we had around 1/2 a lecture on the fundamentals, then continued onto massively-hard stuff.
Introduction to Aircraft Systems - We did Aircraft Operations and Aerospace Studies, which probably covered this. Likewise, each only counted for 1/2 a credit point.
I also like the way that, instead of 6 modules a term like pretty much every course at every uni, the engineers are staggered with 5 and 7, meaning less work before Christmas :D Anyway, sorry I'm clogging up your comments pages, but just thought you'd be interested. Meh.
