Q: I write from the state of Maharashtra in India. I have a choice of studying for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics and Telecommunication in one of two colleges. The first is located 5 minutes away from my house. The second is Sardar Patel College of Engineering (SPCE), one of the best in Mumbai. However, if I go to SPCE, I will need one hour daily to commute there.
Once I earn the B.E. degree I want to do graduate-level work in aerospace engineering or work in the aerospace industry (either in India or in North America).

Q: We live near Cleveland, Ohio and our 11th grade son is interested in automotive design.

He gets very good grades in science and mathematics, and loves building things. He is good at drawing (cars) and computer graphics.
I am told that most engineering involves some design, and I have seen CAD and graphics courses in some engineering major coursework, but isn't there some "crossover" Bachelor of Science degree that encompasses both engineering and design?

I think part of my problem is my lack of imagination and creativity. I think I have a weak imagination and I feel that I have a problem of being creative when I write essays. Sometime I just write what I have heard and learned and I cannot write anything original.
I love mathematics but sometimes I find it difficult.

Q: I write from New South Wales, Australia. My marks in the High School Certificate (HSC) are a bit low, and I am concerned about admissions to university studies in electrical engineering. Do you have any pertinent advice? If a student gets low percentage on the HSC, does that mean that the student is not suitable for engineering? Do HSC marks affect the future course of the student?
EXPLANATION – HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE IN NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA [1]
The HSC is an educational credential awarded to secondary school students in New South Wales Australia who have completed successfully senior high school level studies (years 11 and 12 or equivalent). The current (22 September 2006) version of the “Higher School Certificate” entry in Wikipedia [1] provides a detailed description of the HSC requirements, course of study, and offered courses. Websites of Australian institutions provide statistics, data, and advice [2-4].
ANSWERING THE QUESTION
The HSC marks play a major role in the calculation of the Australian Universities Admission Index (UAI) – which is a measure of rank of the student among the cohort of contemporary school leavers. In our estimate, a minimum UAI of about 80 is needed for study in Electrical Engineering programs in Australia with more opportunities for students with a cutoff above 83 (cutoff UAI scores go as low as 80 and as high as 98). Here is a list of current availability of programs in Electrical Engineering and the admissions requirements
Alternatively, you can conduct your own search here: http://www.uac.edu.au/course_search/search.html or look for Electrical Engineering cutoffs for 2005 and 2006 here
There are some differences between the cutoffs for the Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) courses, Domestic Fee-paying (DFEE) courses and International Fee-paying (IFEE) courses. We assume that the CSP numbers are applicable for this question.
We suggest that you study the admissions requirements and analyze what programs would admit you and what programs would require additional information. If you are close to the cutoff (say, 5 points away) you may write to the Dean of Engineering on your target school and request special consideration. Some universities have a form that facilitates this process (e.g., http://www.eng.usyd.edu.au/pdf/flexible2007.pdf).
You may also want to target universities who declare that UAI is only one of the criteria they use for admission. These universities use additional criteria in admissions, such as portfolios, interviews, auditions, questionnaires or even additional tests. Find out what the specific university allows you to present or do, and take full advantage of these opportunities. In some cases you may be able to increase your chances for admission by taking bridging courses in areas where you do not have credentials.
If all these approaches fail, we suggest that you consider the following alternative path. Enroll in an Information Technology program (UAI cutoffs are 10 to 15 points lower than the cutoffs in Electrical Engineering in some schools). If you did very well in your first year in that course you may be able to transfer to Electrical Engineering later.
Once you are in the Electrical Engineering program your HSC percentages will have no effect on your future course of study. Your achievement at the university will become the dominant factor.

Q: Most of the levee failures in New Orleans were along sections of structures that contain long, narrow canals extending deep into the reach of the pump houses. This setup creates many additional miles of levees and thus additional flooding risk into in the heart of the city.
Since the canals are essentially enormous "open-face" drain pipes, couldn't large tunnels or pipelines carry water discharged from the pump houses out to the lake where pumps could lift the it over the higher (and better built) lakefront seawall?

Q: I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering degree and am currently working in the Philadelphia area. I am trying to go back to school part time, for my Master of Science degree (and maybe my PhD eventually). I was wondering what the best route would be if I like control theory. Most of the programs I have talked to, in EE, are not oriented towards controls. Would it be better to head towards a mechanical or aeronautical degree?
