January 24th I go back to school to finish my 4 credits that I am short for my ASE certification.

Now here's the thing, I want to do something with automotive design or automobiles period, namely aftermarket shizz. h:

I was contemplating going to a 4-year school for mechanical engineering, but I'm not sure what other areas of study would compliment each other to build a decent resume. Mechanical engineering is goddamn math intensive, and while I can do math, I'll struggle with the course.

Any suggestions? :happysad:

 

if all u need is ASE y not just go to a UTI?

 

Because if I just have my ASE certification I'll be turning wrenches for the next 40 years which I don't want to do.

 

mechanical i think would go perfectly...u could do electrical? to specialize in electrical systems...lead into ignitions then work for MSD ignitions? i dunno.

 

how about fluid mechanics?

 

Sounds like Rerearch and Development for a company like bmw or porsche would be something your into. Ill see ya there

 

That would probably bury you in some very complicated math. But yeah, if you want to figure out how to route efficient turbo piping in new and challenging engine bays, fluid dynamics would probably be it.

You could also do thermodynamics. But that would also be math-intensive.

 

math makes me want to hang from the rafters.

 

i dont like math anymore ap calc AB (the teacher is doing the class likes its BC...) is teh gayness...im only a senior :/ hs...

 

most engineering degree's are math intensive but once you get through calc 2 and physics, it all becomes easier. i have a class right now in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and this stuff is really interesting. the math does not seem as hard as one would think it would be.
