I really thought I replied to this topic... Did my post appear at all? Get deleted somehow? Or am I just crazy? Oh well. If I'm not too late to help, I think Ashen Glow would be a fine name.

Wow, that's awesome! I love that everything you mentioned made perfect sense. I definitely learned a lot the last two semesters of college about working within consumer parameters and finding creative alternative solutions to common problems. Thanks for sharing!
-
Oh definitely, no doubt about that. You'll have to forgive my rampant Purdue fanboyishness. How have you liked Penn State so far?

@Fhaolan, I'm very sorry to hear of that kind of thing happening in the university system. I'm glad you were able to move on, and I do hope you enjoy the work you do now. @Exuro Spark, Hey! Glad to see another Big Ten member! As a loyal Boilermaker, I must say I'm sorry you don't go to a REALLY good school like Purdue, but as a brony I'm happy to meet you Hope you enjoy EE! @Daring, Thank you kindly for the Internet, good sir! @Celtore, Wow! Sounds like you really know what you want to do. I hope you continue to have that passion and find that software engineering is all you expect it to be. I know aeronautical engineering isn't at all what I expected, but I do love it all the same. And I love it more and more as I learn more about it!

Although pegasus is the most common response thus far, I'd have to choose the same. I'm working on becoming an aeronautical engineer, and flight has always been close to my heart. Maybe it's silly of me, but I almost feel that the dream of flight is a little closer to home for me than most other people, considering I'm devoting my life to creating things that will roam the skies. -
I would have to suggest something else for Rainbow Dash. Listen to it and I think you might see why! It's very relatable to how her character is portrayed time and again. I present Icarus by Kansas: -
@CloudFyre, Eeeeyup. I only have 6 credit hours of math left before I'm done with courses in the math department, personally. It's not that I don't like math, but in all honesty some of the ridiculous upper level math that's required is kind of, erm, less than extremely uselful in an actual profession... Or so it seems to me. Could be that I'm wrong, and I guess in that case I'll be thankful!

@Blue, What Randomfacts137 said. Aircraft design can, I suppose, be summed up into aeronautics or aeronautical engineering. Although technically there are MANY components of aircraft design (for instance, as I mentioned before, I would like to design airframes, while I would rather not design, say, engines or interiors), and aeronautics covers more than just design. Did that make any sense at all? What I would say is look up a degree plan for an engineering field at your college/university, and if you're serious about venturing into an engineering degree, then start knocking out the basic requirements. For the most part, the classes you mentioned are all needed for basics (Calc up through level III, or multivariate, physics through mechanics and electricity/optics, and a bit of chem), while things like fluid mechanics get pretty major-specific. I believe I'll take that in my next semester, while this semester I'm taking thermodynamics. And differential equations. And upper-level aeromechanics. And introductory aerospace design. And electrical/optical physics. Am I even gonna sleep? There's so much to take, it gets overwhelming at times! @Winged Ratchet, best of luck in your future endeavors! Only you can decide what's best for you, what you love, and what you feel you're good at, but of course I have to tout the mechanical side of things, as I am someone who loves vehicles, specifically aircraft. @Everyone else who has shared thus far, thank you! I love hearing your stories!

@Three Wolf Moon, Oh for sure! Yeah, no expectations at all for promptness. I'm usually only online for a little while every day, myself. On a side note, brohoof for band practice. I'm a bass player, electric and upright. Rusty though, since I couldn't have my intruments in my dorm!

@Randomdacts137, Understatement of the century! I kid. Personally, studying engineering has been tiresome at times, but it has never to this point failed to be rewarding in the end. I truly do hope you find software engineering to be something that you find fun and rewarding. If it becomes a burden or something you feel like you're not meant to do, you'll know it. @Three Wolf Moon, Actually, no. I graduated from a small private high school and had access to only the basic AP classes. Specialized stuff like that I have no knowlwdge about! Wish I did though, as I feel many people go into engineering with unrealistic expectations (myself included). If you wanna know more about engineering, I'd be glad to tell you what I can! PM me sometime.

@Daring, Nice! Go for it man, if that's what you really want to do! A good employer *should* hire you for your skills, not your lack of limitations. @~Scootaloo, You're talking to someone who was forced to learn C, which although not obsolete (I can transfer C skills to derivatives like C++ and many other languages), is still ancient. So I definitely hear you. Also, programming is most definitely not my forte, but rather something I learned as a part of my first-year introductory courses. @Three Wolf Moon, Go ME! Many of my friends are studying mechanical engineering, and heck, although I would deny it in public, even my discipline is essentially an extension of mechanical engineering.

Injection molding, eh? That reminds me of the 3D printing software we have for my department. It's not injection-based; rather, it prints layer by layer of microscopically thin material to build a solid object of pretty much any shape. Some cool examples of this can be seen with custom phone cases (I've seen one with working gears in the back of it!) and even lego pieces. If you have an idea for a cool piece in mind, say, all you need are the dimensions in some sort of CAD program and voila! Thanks for sharing and props to your pop!

Hey there! Just curious how many engineers bronies are out there! A bit about myself: I'm currently a sophomore at Purdue University, studying aeronautical engineering. I'd like to work for either a general or defense aviation company someday, possibly as a test engineer or airframe designer. If you're studying to become an engineer or already work in the field, tell me a bit about you! Any advice, stories, or just about anything about the field you'd like to share? I'd sure love to hear it!

Their names alone sound like they're worth taking a look at! I'm always open to new music suggestions!

Hey! I am very well sir, and you? Just perusing here myself. I joined up recently and have been getting to know the forum and the people here a little bit! Living Tombstone: hadn't heard of him before your mention. A brief check-out of his YouTube channel was very promising, however! Thanks for the recommendation! Well, considering I'm in Texas, it's rather hot. But oh well! That's what summer's for right? AAAAAAANYWAY welcome to the forum (it's awesome) and hope you enjoy your time spent here!
-
This thread is making me laugh. Welcome to the forums, Haruno! I'm loving seeing all the diveristy of favorite ponies, by the way. Anyway, enjoy your time here! I'm new as well and am doing so already!
-
Yes! I was waiting for someone to notice the C in the title! I learned basic C last year And thanks for all the wonderful welcomes and proofreading offers! I'll definitely be taking folks up on that.

Christian bronies: meet, greet, and mingle!
Null_user replied to Zach TheDane's topic in General Discussion
Not to butt into the middle of any conversations, but just wanted to add that I am a Christian as well. Presbyterian, PCA to be specific. Actually this thread is one of the reasons I joined the forum! Please feel free to continue! -
Welcome to the forums, LiterallyPONYS! I, too, am new here. So much to do! Enjoy!
-
I'd love that! I've been brainstorming quite a bit and am pretty excited to get started. Thanks!

Hey everypony! Newbie here! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Texan and proud, an engineer in the works (if you couldn't already tell), and will hopefully be writing some fan fiction here soon featuring my avatar, Shadow Dash. If there's anything else you'd like to know, give me a holler!
