In summary, a mechanical undergrad is a student majoring in mechanical engineering, which focuses on mechanical systems. Common courses include mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and design and manufacturing. Mechanical undergrads develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, technical design, and project management, as well as a strong understanding of math and science. Career opportunities include industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. Challenges faced include heavy course loads, complex problem-solving tasks, and the need for hands-on experience. Time management and strong study skills are also important for success.

Hi everyone. I am a final year mechanical engineering student. I have had a basic introduction in cfd. I am currently working on a EDF rocket as my final project, although I have zero experience in the RC world. I look foward to meeting new people and gaining knowledge from the physics forum

The guy who made these videos is a university student in China. He designed and built a TVC solid propellant rocket in his first year. You might want to take a look at his work before you plan your project.
