Thoughts on Transport Phenomena

Transport was the class that I was most excited to take this semester because the subject matter, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, aligns pretty closely with my greatest interests in mechanical engineering. At the same time, I wasn't sure what to expect. The class is normally taught by a professor who is on leave this year, and I found out in August that my professor would be a visitor from University of Texas at El Paso. As a result, the class was definitely an experiment, and not just in the normal Olin ways! My thoughts on Transport are below the fold.

Thoughts on Dynamics

Friday was Expo, the last day of the semester. I’m more than a third of the way through college, which feels a little weird.

For some reason this semester didn’t feel like it was ending until the very end. Midway through the semester, I still caught myself thinking that it was just the beginning. I’m not sure why this was; I was definitely learning, so in general it wasn’t that I didn’t think we had covered enough material for it to be that far into the semester.

The class in which I learned the most this semester was Dynamics, which is a mechanical engineering requirement. It was also the class into which I put by far the most time. Below the fold are my thoughts on Dynamics.
