How has Your Experiences At JU Been

What are your feelings about JU, dislikes, likes? Anything that you want to talk about.

What schools did you turn down to come to JU?

For engineering students, what school do you plan on attending for your last 2 years.

Midterm

Its midterm time for this semester and i just wanted to know what you have learned so far in Physics 151 and have your thoughts about physics changed.

A Bar on Campus ????

Ok, we all need a break from physics...........

I recently wrote a 10 page proposal on how a sports bar on campus would change JU.

I believe in almost every way a sports bar, on campus would help the JU community.

I want to know what you think.....

Please feel free the disagree with me.

Post some ideas, good or bad...lets make this a little debate.

Let's Run the Numbers: Salaries for Nerds

Today I thought it might be fun to simply run some numbers.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average yearly salary for a Physicist (if you can find a job, of course) is $106,370. That is equivalent to $53.86 per hour. Currently there are close to 17,000 Physicists employed in the United States, doing work in industries such as medicine, scientific research, education, and even management. Interestingly, the highest paid Physicists in the country work in Minnesota.

What do you think about these numbers? Are they helpful? Do you think they are deceptive in any way? Why or why not?

I encourage you to follow the link below to the website for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I encourage you to poke around and check out the employment and salary statistics for any industry that you are interested in. Find out what you can expect the employment picture to be like in the career you want to go into.

Electric Aircraft

Recently, NASA hosted a Green Flight Challenge aviation contest. In the contest teams built innovative and energy efficient aircraft. Planes in the competition travels over 160 kilometers per hour on less than 3.8 liters of fuel per passenger. NASA says they hope technology developed during the competition will lead to innovations in electric aircraft, and lead to innovations in the aviation industry that result in quiet, emission-free aircraft.

Here is the link to the article:

I thought that this article was interesting. I did not know that full sized aircraft could operate and fly using only electricity. This is definitely innovative and i am curious to see electric aircraft in the future.

Would you feel safe traveling in a fully electric powered aircraft? And what are your opinions on electric powered aircraft?
