    TSR Engineering Society

    Welcome all yae engineers to the TSR Engineering Society. New and improved(again)!

    You all know what Engineering is about. There are many, many issues to be discussed. So if you are a professional engineer, a graduate, a student, a prospective student, or just something of an enthuasiast for the Engineering practice, then just click below to apply to join the society, and discuss the latest and oldest issues affecting us all, as Engineers!

    Click Here to Join

    Please provide a description of why you want to join the society.

    If you are rejected you will be PM'd with justification as to why this is the case!

    If you are accepted, the society will appear on your societies list. When this happens, please post a brief introductory description of yourself in the forum and you will be added to the members list.

    Please include the following details:

    Name, Age, University, Branch of Engineering, Experience In Engineering.

    If, by some freak accident, your description on the members list is out of date, incorrect, or just a bit naff - PM me and I'll rectify the problem. Also, if you have an constructive criticisms at all about the homepage, I'd be more than happy to consider any suggestions you make!

    Welcome to the forum

    As the only Engineering graduate thus far on the Society, I'm sure you'll be an asset.

    And by that I mean your uber knowledge will come in handy for my Electronics subjects

    I tried to sponge of a french engineer last year, but the continental differences were too much. I'm sure the British-American systems will be more on par .

    Well guys. The members list is as up to date as I can get it for now!

    Mostly I just copied the members list from the old Soc and put it into my own layout.

    SOME members that were on the old soc have yet to be added since their details are incompleted, but I've sent out PMs to all those folk asking for details, so they should be up soon.

    Also, there was quite a lot of folk from months ago who haven't yet been accepted as members! You should all now be members, bar a few people who I have PMd with questions about their membership.

    And lastly. If you are most definitely already a member, and you have NOT been PMd and you are NOT on the list could you please post your details or PM me and I'll get you added. Because the number of members against the number of folk I know of leaves quite a large gap, so there's a few anonymous lurkers out there who haven't yet made themselves known! Please do so

    Check your name on the list, if it's not there PM me, and if it is there, make sure details are up to date

    lol. um.... :blushing: the classical studies... i minored in it while i was slaving away in engineering... #whip#

    i didn't work while i was in uni and it's really hard trying to find a job b/c i have no work experience. #ashamed# so my only choice is to go back to school.

    Surely you would be better doing a Masters in a professional subject, then, rather than doing an arts course like Classical Studies, I don't reckon it'd boost your employment potential unless you work during this degree or just intend to be a bohemian academic all your life(a lifestyle I'd envy).

    true. i had thought about maybe accounting. but i was thinking about which engineering classes i enjoyed vs the ones i hated. and the hated classes were greater than the enjoyed classes. what part of the field are you specializing in?

    Aeronautical Engineering for me .

    Things what fly, and orbit, and stuff .

    Although, later on we may specialise in Avionics, so for the first few years there's a lot of grounding in electronics. Not much, but some.

    well it should be pretty basic electronic stuff... right? No microcontrollers, diodes, writing code (C, Java, C#, C++, etc.), doping, electromagnetics, transmission lines, etc? :argh: :vroam:

    Not thus far, but in later years there's the option to specialise in avionics(which so far, seems to be the option that appeals to me most!)... so when it get's to that I'm thinking it might start to involve these complex concepts you speak of!
