Another semester underway

By Brian ⋅ September 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This semester I am enrolled in only 4 classes, but I think that I have my work cut out for me. My classes this semester are Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering, Engineering Ethics, Thermals and Fluids Engineering, and Electronic Instrumentation. While these are all fairly challenging courses, so far they have been fairly interesting.
Right now, Fundamentals [...]

Life @ RPI

By Brian ⋅ September 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Since this is my first blog, I thought I’d begin by telling you a little about myself, and then some of my experiences at RPI thus far. There have been many factors that have helped guide me to where I am right now.
I am currently a junior pursuing a dual degree in Nuclear Engineering & [...]

This summer was great!

I also traveled to Peru with my family this summer. It was really nice to experience a different culture and spend time [...]

Blimping ain’t easy

The first round of exams

By Pedro ⋅ February 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been a real hectic week: a dynamics test, a fluids test, a MAU test, and a project due in IED to boot. All this pressure had me real nervous and in a crunch for time because of my three test to study for and a project to design and build.

Pedro – About Me
