In programming we have this inside joke about naming being the hardest part.

Why not help a fellow out and recommend some names you might have.

What is the boring and repetitive tasks that you have to do daily, what is the stress factor, do you get enough personal time etc. What would you say is the negatives of becoming a mechanical engineer?

I've built a Python model of a turbofan cycle that currently calculates station properties and nozzle exit velocity from altitude, Mach number, and throttle inputs.

My next step is calculating thrust and TSFC. I'm also wondering what other useful values I can calculate from the data the model currently produces.

For example:

- Could I estimate aircraft range if I add a fuel quantity?

- Could I model how aircraft weight affects overall performance?

- What other performance metrics would be useful to calculate?

- And what other information can I produce

I'm still learning, so I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions on where to take the project next.

GitHub link if anyone would like to see how the project currently works:

Hello everyone, im a 17 year old and unfortunately my parents couldnt help me with getting my high school certificate. I stopped at grade 10 and im feeling like most of my roads are closed for my life

​

I have a bunch of experience with electronics, been playing around with arduino alot and ive really enjoyed it. I eventually started learning about PCB designing and it immediately drew my attention.

​

Would it be possible for me to have a career in PCB designing that is stable enough for a decent future, are there any courses with certificates I should take or will a good portfolio carry more value, is there maybe alternative education routes for me to help support this career?
