Finished my Engineering dissertation!

Just thought i'd share that with you all!

Well done! What was the topic?

[MoonMonkey]

Well done.... Now, when you least expect it in weeks, months or even years time you'll wake up in a blind panic convinced you have missed the deadline!!

Brilliant, well done.


I'll have big mac and fries please.

I took some data from our university formula student car during a skid pan event and used it to write a program that allows the user to input the values of their car dimensions, wheel rates, camber and castor angle etc and the program simulates how the car will handle certain corners in the skidpan event.

The data was then applied to my race car, modelled with solidworks and then once the values from the program are applied to the model it will alter the animation of the model.

So basically a simulation of a car taking on a tight corner, but it changes according to the values that the user types in. The animation was intended to give new students a better understanding of balancing a race car according to the track it is racing on.

I don't know how this will help me find a job, but I suppose it shows I can commit to a project and see it through.

Back to the building site in the summer though, better than mcdonalds!

I had a nightmare about my GCSE's not long ago. I took them in 1998

i have those dreams all the time. its always school for some reason rather than uni, which were far harder. i sat my a levels in '99 ffs!

my conclusion is its some kind of worry about being unprepared. not sure what for tho!

So it's a bit like the ADAMS package then?

yes but we undergrads can't use that until we pay for a masters course

Thats a bugger. Don't worry my experiance of uni versions of ADAMS is that they are telepathic and know to crash just as you're about to hit save.
