Learn how to implement Python in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Python for Scientists and Engineers

In this module, we'll learn about the Python programming language in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. We'll learn how to plot airfoil coordinates and graph thrust available, thrust required, and dynamic pressure. Moreover, we’ll get a firm overview of orbital parameters and how to model both 2D and 3D static orbits. By the end of this module, we'll have a good knowledge of how Python works in the fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Python for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

In software development, **FizzBuzz** is a common first-level interview question that weeds out anyone who cannot program in the desired language. The question generally goes something like this: 

> **Problem:** <br> Write a program that prints out the numbers 1 to 100. If the number is a multiple of 3, print Fizz instead of the number. If the number is a multiple of 5, print Buzz instead of the number. If the number is a multiple of both 3 and 5, print FizzBuzz instead of the number.

Let's write your first program!
