I don’t really want to go in depth into programming, I just want to know what I’m looking at if I ever come across anything like that at my job (mechanical engineering) and maybe solve some simple problems.

I learned C and Java in my first year in college, but it’s all mostly forgotten. I’m leaning towards Python since I read it’s relatively simple and used a lot nowadays, and it’s what my teachers used later on in college anyway.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

    Apart from a front end language like Python it’s always good to know basic SQL. A lot of engineering software uses some sort of relational database and it’s handy to be able to query the data source directly. If you’re going to be doing any kind of data analysis then look at R also.
