I have recently went back to college, pursuing a pre-engineering degree, in order hopefully of completing several more years down the road a B.A. in Mechanical Engineering. My question is: At my current age of 40, do I have a realistic chance to find a job in this current market. I would hope that my common sense, maturity, experience in heavy equipment operations, and being drug free would be considered an asset, not a liability. Is there someone here that would lend some sage advice?

I'd done this before. But I forgot some of the steps. I remember using 6 pennies, 6 paper towels, and 6 pieces of aluminum foil. Then you are supposed to put them together, and put the tip of a pair of headphones on it, but I just need to know any other steps.

Any help is appreciated.

2.) 200 feet of string
3.) 25 feet of aluminum foil
4.) 10 paper clips
5.) 10 rubber bands
6.) 1 Roll of Scotch Tape
7.) Pair of scissors
8.) 12" ruler
9.) hole punch
10.) 10 pieces of construction paper
11.) 10 note cards

The bridge has to span 5 feet and hold approximately 100 pounds on top of the bridge. I only get 30 minutes to build this bridge in class also. I will have 7 people helping me.

Also, what is the best design in case the weight is hanging from the bottom instead?

Please help.

The psychrometric chart is used to analyse the properties of air. I remember years ago my teacher mentioned that with two properties you could find the others. But, he also mentioned that two of the properties would yield no answer... What are they, I forgot.
