[SMCARA] mechanical engineering

Congratulations Dora! 

Chris, I'd recommend a good drawing program, such as Visio (an add on to the MS office suite).  A good graphing calculator like one of the TI-84 series,  and MatLab for her computer.  Wait until she starts, or at least signs up for her classes as they are available to students at a significant discount.

If it ain't broke,  let's fix it until it is...

Good morning gang,

For those of you that have met my daughter Dora (KC3DQB) you'll be 
pleased to hear that she will be attending CSM this fall for mechanical 
engineering. She won a nice scholarship from the local Corvette club and 
another larger scholarship from the Patuxent Partnership so her first 
two years is paid for (woohoo!). After that she plans to continue as a 
part of the UMD mechanical engineering program (perhaps through a 
program that Pax River offers) for her Bachelor's. I know we have some 
engineers and engineer's bosses in the crowd... can you offer any 
recommendations on software we'll want to invest in? She hasn't pinned 
down a particular speciality yet but any thoughts on general use 
mechanical engineering software that is used in the field would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!
