tom_loughlin - 27/7/04 at 10:01 PM

hey guys,
im a bit stuck, im in my 4th and final year at uni in bristol, and handed in my project proposal a while ago - the only trouble is that i handed it in to keep the bosses happy - and now the time is coming to give serious thought to what i want to do it about.
im doing Aerospace Manufacturing engineering so have a background in materials, cad, FEA, manufacturing and aeronautics. ideally, id like to use all this, and learn some more.
my main interest is cars - so id like to base my project on them.
if anyone has any contacts or ideas, id be extremely grateful, as i have tried several companies but with no luck.
many thanks,
tom

Hi Tom,
pitty that you like to make your dissertation about a car project, not that i dont like cars,i do.
I was a mentor for two engineering students with their dissertation and it was fun to do so.
One handled about a pulsejet for use in small helicopters and the other was a back-pack helicopter project.
What about designing the ultimate basic sportscar the way C. Chapman would have done it anno 2004?

it was just an idea to focus on cars - im willing to research any avenue at the mo, so if you have any further info on your projects, i woud be extremely grateful if you could let me know.
thank you very much
tom
