    Schools Top 10 Universities for Aerospace Engineering in the world

    Hey Space_Freak I am not currently sure about the rankings now but I do that Embry-Riddle has and probably still is ranked number 1 for AE without a doctoral degree. However speaking from experience or visiting the campus their program is very good. All of the professors are very educated and...

    Why Doesn't the Space Shuttle Deploy Its Wings During Reentry?

    Need Guidance for AP Calculus AB Tests

    Ok Thanks Andy. I really appreciate the advice. About the English thing I just can't find the time and interest to sit down and read the stupid novels, plays, etc. In the long run I do just read a little bit and check out the spark noted occasionally to pass the tests. Its my writing that saves...

    Need Guidance for AP Calculus AB Tests

    Yeah that is pressuring me a lot. I do feel that it is possibly leading to test anxiety. Also another cause is possibly my AP Engligh Lit Teacher telling my that there is much more to life than number, technology, etc and that I should see the outside world by taking the time to read books...

    Need Guidance for AP Calculus AB Tests

    Yeah this AP class as with many is very challenging. I am taking the AP test and my instructor has a whole packet for AP test study so hopefully that will help. This fall I will be entering college as an Aerospace Engineer major. I will surely be taking calculus 1 over not just to get a better...
