you are correct haha, the fourier domain goes into analyzing the frequency response and spectral information of the system. it's been a while since i took my systems n signals course so i might be wrong but the s-domain gives you the whole solution while the phasor domain only provides you with the steady state solution...

if i am correct, u're from UCSD. how's the Tau Beta Pi at UCSD?

Good guess, yeah I'm from UCSD. How did you guess based on our talk about transformations? Cuz if you guessed it from that, that **** is crazy.

The TBP here don't do much. I was sent an invitation to join almost every quarter since freshmen year but I never did because their lack of actual activities made me feel like they are mostly talk (just something to fill up a space in my transcript). Quite of a few of my friends joined and one of my friends became the president of TBP here, so I considered myself in the know when they did stuff (which wasn't that much). I hope the TBP is better elsewhere?

As for the S domain, i think that's what I remembered too. Although I'm not sure if phasor can only provide you with steady state solution. I don't recall exactly right now but I thought it could sometimes be solved for the whole solution? Like you said, it's been a while, haha. Plus I was never an EE so what I know is pieced together from some linear circutry, system analysis, and imaging analysis classes for my major.

i m actualli part of tbp at another UC haha.. which president are you talking bout? i know the past few ones, is it the one right now? or the one who went to MIT?

The one that did a masters and got a job. Not sure what year he was anymore but it would have been a while back since I took a year off after finishing.

OP. I'm a Research and Development Engineer for a medical device company specializing in various cranial and thoracic fixation devices. I undergraded in Mech Engineering with a Biomechanics minor and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about going into engineering (just PM me). I absolutely love what I do and can't imagine being more prepared for my leap to medical school. I'm not going to lie, it's a freakin' tough major, but well worth it (especially for a backup plan if you don't throw on the white coat).

Which means you will be the most respected person at the Star Trek Convention.

Seriously I was a mechanical engineer and I can´t count the number of times people asked me to help them with "a little car trouble". People have NO IDEA what engineers do unless they are, or work with, engineers.

Ha ha, I've proudly been to two Star Trek conventions (and have my own communicator pin). The Next Generation was the best, by far.

Yeah, I'm female, and when I told my friends that I was going to major in mechanical engineering, I got the perplexed look, "😱😕 you want to fix cars?"

If you want to see one of the few situations where people actually get a chance to ignore the engineers directly, during the design process, go talk to an architect. "No I think that extra 1K of insulation is a ripoff, I´d rather pay an extra 50K in electric bills over the life of the house".

Speaking of architects, I've seen some pourly planned mechanical rooms where you can't fit the necessary equipment to heat and cool the building, but hey, at least the building looks nice......

oh wow.. u must be a lil older than me cuz i know the 07, 06 ,05 ,04 presidents n they're all girls if i remembered correctly. did u ever go work in industry? how was that like? i've onli done research n never did ne internships so don't know what is like
