I decided to attend Old Dominion University because I wanted to become an engineer and I had heard good things about their engineering program. This course is one of the requirements to get an engineering degree, so I have to do it. This course is done in a more practical way that leans more towards real world problems rather than academic problems. It will help me learn new ways of approaching problems in real world situations. Currently I am unsure how studying fluid mechanics will help me in my professional career, but it is a very good skill set to have just in case.
