So I am on the last year of MSC on Mechanical Engineering. My MSC is about energy like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and that kind of stuff, and that is the area that I want to work on (I hate Automobile Engineering).
So my question is: What programming, if any, should I learn? I already know a bit of Python and was thinking about taking an online course on Data Science. Is it worth or should I be spending my time learning something else?

kek
just learn python lad
Better your ptyhon, learn matplotlib and numpy. VoilĂ you're set for serious data work.
Look into Jupiter notebook as well
Old and crusty mech e, who also did thermo and fluids. Fuck all this new age shit. Learn c/c++ and be able to do embedded stuff. Back in my day, java was brand new and it was that or c++. I chose c++, and it has done me right for 20 years and is just as relevant now as then. With webasm it is going into the browser too.
If you are gluing shit together, maybe python has its place and is faster to write, but if you are doing anything deeply algorithmic, it is the same slog in any language.

Python is older than Java.
Should I learn Python or R (or both)?

python is really good for math, with numpy you basically have matlab except 99% less shit.

R is personally useful to me (I use it for crunching statistics on stuff) but I don't see it used all that much in the "real world". If you learn Python, you can pick up R pretty easy if you need to.
