While working on some bolted joints I thought I’d share something conceptual I cleared up…

Short Snippet on Bolted Joints I once thought a screw was a very simple mechanism, you screw a screw into a nut or threaded hole and boom you connected something to something else. Yet the more I needed to understand and actually do analysis with them I realized just how great of an invention it is. While it is credited to Joseph...

Hi friends, this month I am posting something more personal but hopefully also relevant to those graduating soon!

What I wish I knew in College Hi friends. This month, I will do a short post about some things I might want to tell a younger self. This is also for the bright engineering minds that are near graduation or have just graduated. First of all graduating with an engineering degree is of in itself a very very big achievement. Congrat...

Computers and More I think I want this post to be about computers and CAD, but then I thought maybe slightly more general computing. We will see. First, I will list the main components of a computer and their functions as we know it today from a non-electrical engineering perspective (02/2024): CPU (Central Processing...

Ever wonder what CAD is?

CAD Softwares that We Love (or Hate) Thankfully I never had to do drawings by hand. Although I think that might have been useful because it probably forces one to be careful. Today engineers like myself use what is called Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to do all of our design work. This encompasses more than creating 2D drawings....

What Does a NASA-JPL Mechanical Engineer Really Do? (part 1 of n) I know what you are thinking, the meme with 4 to 6 squares showing "what my family thinks I do", "what my friends think I do", "what my cat thinks I do", "what I think I do"... And, the "what do I do square" is something like excel spreadsheets... For the college engineering majors reading this and....
