First Engineering Project?
Hello all, I want a goal of mine for the next year to be making my first aeronautical engineering project. I am pretty late to the scene because I enlisted in the marines for 4 years, but I am about to start my second year of college and I really need to get my feet wet before I start taking upper division courses at uni.
I am super inexperienced, to start. I would just like to know what kind of engineering project I should start with. I am very interested in electric propulsion systems for aeronautical engineering. Obviously I am nowhere near that level, but what’s a good few hobby projects I can do that would help me start build up to that level? Also what’s a good resource I could use to understand how the basics work? I have dabbled a very tiny bit with Arduino and C++. I took like 3 CAD classes in high school (Intro to CAD, Auto CAD, and 3D CAD), but I literally don’t remember anything or how I even passed those classes with As and Bs to be completely honest as that was like 10 years ago… Dang.
With that being said, if anyone could also give a new guy some suggestions or resources that helped you, I would genuinely appreciate it.
