    Ironically enough, our campus' only engineering related club is the Society of Women Engineers. I'm still holding out for one that enjoys...

    I tend to use debit over credit, mostly a habit of mine to not spend what I don't have. No sense of...

    Wow, he sure has a lot of very good designs. I never heard of him until now though. Odd.

    I'm a bit hesitant to put anything like a whole steel mill up, but I can't see why a machine shop can't...

    Sorta, I've got the basic design in my head, but I'm a bit stuck on some of the details. Mostly what kind...

    How can one realise sustainable engineering projects.

    Well, we all talk about how we engineers can change the world, but beyond the theory and design stages things get very...

    I don't see why not. I mean, put enough support up for something and you can lit it up. However, when you...
