I'm obviously missing being a student
All the unis have just started back, and I'm sitting teaching myself about engineering things. Damn brain and it's desire to learn.

If you had the chance to do university over again
(if you've already been) what course would you choose?

I think I would do a music degree
Either that or a degree in sound production. And yes, I've just graduated.

Congratulations
I think I'd do modern languages or an English literature degree. I did physics.

I could never do an english lit degree
I'm reading about CFD just now, which is kind of physics-ish. Just what you need for a Thursday night.

I am always impressed with modeling stuff
they always have really sweet graphics. Do you want to do stuff like this for aerospace engineering?

Aerospace and other stuff
It's close to what I did at uni, which involved making sweet looking models, but I had to teach myself CFD in 5th year for a project, and now looking at going for a job in it in aerospace and building and transport airflows and things.

You can think of so many uses for that stuff
is all this renewable energy malarky throwing up any opportunities?

Not directly, but I could probably adapt if needed
I know a few folk who went off to do Masters in environmental engineering or renewables last year; there's certainly plenty focus on it these days, most engineering companies have at least some focus on energy saving and environmental kindness.

and might be looking for people if that's your bag.

Got to love a bit of wave power
Wave, and more specifically tidal, really are where it's going to be at once people realise the actual potential they have.
