Mechanical engineering student huh?

1 week

This is a normal trajectory for college freshmen. Get introduced to a bunch of basic ideas. Spitball and try to see how you can apply them. Start running into all kinds of caveats and engineering hurdles. Go back to class. Bother the RA. Maybe actually learn more about what you're trying to accomplish. Become a better engineer.

Knowing you can't invent a perpetual motion machine is like high school level science, so being a first year college student isn't an excuse.

Hearing that you can't and understanding exactly why are two very different states of understanding.

One is simple recitation of a fact.
