Wax Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hey everyone, I haven't logged in here ages but I'm still around! I just read through an old, short-lived tumblr blog of mine, from roughly the summer of 2013, going into the autumn. I was in year 10 and year 11 at that point, so I was only 15 or 16 years old. It's so strange to see how heart-on-sleeve I was then. Reading through this blog, it was like I was 15 again - seeing all my posts about the shitty music I adored, complaining about exams, the TV shows I was watching at the time, everything. I was kinda going through a rough patch when I was 15. I was hardcore struggling with emotions, self-identity and self-acceptance. It's sorta sad to see some of the posts I would make back then, where I'd just kinda wallow in self-pity and confide in furry art to escape from it all. It's so weirdly overwhelming to look back on it now, I'm not really sure how to feel. But... seeing how much I've learned and grown since then is a good feeling. It's also so strange to think that if I hadn't found the furry fandom back then, I wouldn't have been on FAF and I wouldn't be on this forum today. Overall it makes me realise just how much I appreciate everyone here, even if I'm not around much.

Seeing as engineering is in that list I have to say that engineering doesn't involve much spreadsheets, more doing things on expensive CAD suites, more often AutoCAD or a more obscure one like Catia that originate from the times when all CAD stuff (and 3D stuff) had to be done on a bright coloured SGI unix workstation computer like the indigo or octane. In the case of electrical engineering you can add doing things in circuit design programs and hoping SPICE (a ridiculously ancient component simulation program originally made in fortran) plays nice when testing a design.

As an engineer I can state that spreadsheets, though useful, would mostly likely not be accurate. More like MATLAB code, mathematica, Autocad is a big one. I'm not an electrical engineer so I don't know anything about SPICE. As a nuclear engineer however, I can safely say that no, you do not want to lick it. Unless it's for radiation therapy or other medically approved methods, licking radiation sources is generally a bad idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zop Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Actually excel still has a pretty strong foothold in certain realms of chemical engineering, at least for financial analyses and process monitoring. It's mostly used with VBA to automate pulling out data and analyzing it for determining things like why the reactor stopped working last night. It's also partially because excel is pretty ubiquitous in process analysis, so people are used to it. That said, as other uses have pointed out, excel + VBA isn't always regarded as preferable, and process simulation software such as Aspen or UniSim is used for design purposes since it's faster and more accurate. Also, I haven't heard of anyone using excel for really taxing design work, like stuff involving computational fluid dynics. I think it really comes down to what you're doing - if you are conducting a simple preliminary analysis and don't care about accuracy too much, excel is just fine, but the more demanding of numerical analysis you need, the more appealing MATLAB or specialty software become.
