It's a good major. Very useful with the rapid increase of arid lands and exterme weather and the especially unfortunate loss of forests.
Also a genuinely cool thing to study

yeah its great and the market is only expanding because so many people are retiring. similar to people working in nuke plants, had a ton of them come around undergrad courses trying to get people to study nuke chem since they were gonna be collecting a pension in 2 years and they had literally zero applicants for most of the year

>r u a park ranger
no a park ranger is part of the police department whose jurisdiction is that of federal/state lands, they do not have any formal training or are required to have a degree of any kind. it's mostly just a cushy job for somebody who has been on the force for over a decade or is the son of a police chief, etc.

Aeronautical Science (major) and Applied Meteorology (minor).

Basically feeds into an airline pilot job. Through the school I obtain a commercial multi engine certificate w/instrument rating at a minimum.

I'm taking biochemistry, mostly trying to get into some form of cancer research but I'm not totally sold on that idea yet.

>>8835895
How is job availability with airline pilots?
Sounds interesting really.

Artificial intelligence.

>>8835895
how do planes fly
people tell me the wings generate lift because the air travels faster over the top or some shit, yet planes can fly upside down which completely obliterates that theory

>>8835924
They say there is a shortage of airline pilots due to a large portion of the workforce hitting retirement limits, but I'll believe that when I'm in the right seat of a CRJ or whatever.

As far as the degree program goes it's great. I get a bit of everything; math, physics, humanities and business, and lots of aviation-specific classes (systems, aerodynamics and performance, turbine engines, FAA ground schools, etc).

>>8835930
Wings generate lift due to a couple properties, mainly conservation of momentum and aerodynamic circulation. Basically speaking, the air is accelerated over the top of the wing (the side with more curve) and remains a relatively lower speed on the bottom, and this creates a pressure disparity, imparting a force upon the wing roughly perpendicular to the relative wind. Aerodynamic circulation causes air to rotate about the aerodynamic center of the wing, and explains in part the flow about the airfoil. In reality it's a combination of these two properties, but in the end it is still the 'theory' of lift. Airfoils only see two things: dynamic pressure (airspeed) and angle of attack, so it doesn't matter if you're facing up, down, or sideways.

Looks to me like you fell for the popsci bullshit saying that the brain is a quantum computer. It's an electrochemical system that works with a series of chemical-passing connections that are made stronger or weaker depending on how much those particular connections are used, not the direct passing of phonons, photons, or electrons through a network of atomic arrangements.

A reactionary force is generated at positive AoA, yes, but that isn't the reason for lift. A high camber non-symmetrical (curved on top, flatter on bottom) airfoil will produce lift even at 0° angle of attack

It's not nearly as glamorous as in the movies. 80% of the time it's sitting behind a computer, coding analyses or writing.

>staring at brain scans
Kinda, but not staring at raw structural data but rather statistical parametric maps of group-data.

Marine Engineering, specifically an engineering officer on a ship.

Really hands on, you only work half the year, travel the world, pays a lot due to required overtime (6 figs for entry level officer), and lots of knowledge required to run and maintain the mechanical, electrical, and computer systems aboard a vessel.

The main downside that it's pretty dangerous, lots of crazy people out at sea, you see the same 20 people everyday for months, heavy machinery and rough waters do not mix.

Aerodynamicist here

Lift is generated by classical mechanics. Either the lifting surface is at incidence or is curved, which accelerates incident flow in the opposite direction to the lifting force, which is a consequence of Newton's third law.

Every other explanation is a meme. Pressure occurs as a result of lift not the other way around.

by having the requisite background knowledge and getting accepted
for example, a math major could reasonably be expected to go into an Economics PhD program if he takes enough economics and finance courses while earning his math bachelors
It's harder making the transition out of engineering though because most other fields that are related to engineering are much more theoretical and there's almost no way you could have the requisite background knowledge (eg for math or physics) without having at least a minor in that field, but preferably a double major

>>8841169
>>8842666
it all depends on what field you decide you want to transition to though
if you're just looking to earn a Masters it becomes easier, and if you're looking at a technical/professional masters like Financial Engineering then it becomes even easier as many of the requirements are relaxed

>Geographic Information Systems

I go out in the field, take samples, analyse them and then make maps.
