I'm a mechanical engineer looking to dive into Python specifically for engineering applications like CFD analysis scripting, numerical methods, and data analysis. Most courses seem to focus on a general programming audience, but I'm hoping to find resources tailored for engineers. I want to automate CFD scripts, implement numerical methods (like ODEs and PDEs), analyze simulation results, and work with engineering libraries such as NumPy and SciPy. Any recommendations for books, courses, or online resources that cater to these specific needs?

You might want to think about why you're opting for Python. Many engineering roles still lean heavily on MATLAB for tasks like this. Although I’m not a fan of MATLAB either, learning it could be a worthwhile investment for your career.
One approach is to start with a general Python course like the MOOC 'Python Programming 2025' to get the basics down. After that, you can find specialized blogs and tutorials that focus more on engineering applications. Unfortunately, there's not much beginner content specifically for this niche, so building a solid foundation first is key.
I get where you're coming from! Many CFD roles do require Python for tasks like automation and scripting. A good mix of both Python and MATLAB skills can really set you apart in the job market.
