Materials Engineering was the worst unit I did at university, I'm glad I did it though, confirmed for me 100% that I wanted to do electrical engineering, and I haven't looked back since.

So they already do this with mangoes and her revolutionary discovery is that you can do it with bananas too?

I'm impressed that she put in all the work in actually making the stuff, but I wouldn't call it revolutionary.

I wonder how she managed to do this alone.

I provided recommendation for the prevention of large amplitude cable oscillations in cross winds.

I provided an analysis and preliminary design for flood prevention measures including a large scale movable flood barrier for the government that should be going ahead with construction within 7-10 years.

Nope. Recommended alternative patterns to the Helical and dimple cluster patterns that could potentially serve as better channels to equally distribute wind over the cable to reduce lift.

>installing more poles
>implying importing eastern European foreigners will help
also
>you don't know the natural frequency of the structure
>could be tuning it to resonate more whilst spending inordinate amounts of cash
>more cabling results in different load distribution which has to change the overall design and reduces architectural freedom

>As a huge science-fiction fan, I wouldn’t accept the opportunity to go back in time and introduce an invention or discovery 100 years ahead of schedule. I wouldn’t want to disrupt the “space-time continuum”! However, if I had to give an answer, it would be introducing the treatment for cholera, a disease that has killed thousands of people since its first cases in 1817. The treatment for cholera was originally founded in 1912 and has become very easy to apply ever since. This act would save many lives.

elif is a keyword used in the most shit programming languages in the world.

>I would like to thank my chemistry teacher Sibel Altay and my biology teacher Songül Genç at the end of my project report. Both my teachers gave me access to laboratories in which I was able to conduct my experiments, using the equipment in the laboratories. I would also like to thank my ceramics teacher for allowing me to use her workshop and clay to make a model for my prosthetic thumb. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for their everlasting support and patience throughout this stressful time. Other than these, the whole project was done by myself.

>During the project, I did not use any specialized equipment. I was given acces to use the laboratories in Koc High School and the Istanbul Science and Art Center For Gifted Students.
Normally, when you see one of these kids hit the news, one of their parents is a university faculty member and they made some grad student mentor the kid for a year and gave them access to really fucking expensive equipment.

This girl did her stuff in high school science labs, with the help of her teachers, and without high-cost equipment. I am SERIOUSLY impressed. This is how high-level science fair projects SHOULD be done.

Lol wtf. At my high school, we were never allowed to use the laboratories without teacher supervision, which ended at the end of each school day.
