I can’t get Pell grant annoyingly because I’m doing school part time. My work has a scholarship app imma do but I know chances are next to none I get it lol. Also I don’t really need it; I’m a good deal richer than almost all my colleagues

It’s more fun to spend my off days running the lake shore but I know I need to start investing time in refreshing on the physics and calculus since it’s been 5+ years

ah
most of my electrical modules were pain
stuff like induction motors, synchronous systems and 3-phase power i found rlly difficult but thats mostly cuz they weren’t taught very well

if i’m being honest i found mechanics and materials science the easiest but electronics and microengineering modules were probably the most interesting

if I’m being honest it’s really likely i switch it up after my first year lol

bring a race car engineer or smth would be fucking cool and I’d have to go mechanical for that

idk what the timeline looks like for engineering internships in the UK, but is there anywhere that’s still accepting applicants?

it depends what part you’re interested in contributing towards

there are labels like automotive engineering but at the end of the day that’s not really an academic discipline as far as most university teachings go - something like that involves a combination of most engineering disciplines

you could go into automotive pretty much with any discipline you study

yeah in my welcome back lecture they implied that there’s still a possibility for stuff like this for the next academic year and the guy who handles it is teaching one of my unrelated modules this semester so i’m waiting until next week when my teaching starts to ask him for advice

I pinged somebody to reference an in-joke and they don’t remember it so I am announcing my resignation from society effective immediatley

I think im basically revealing what college im going to (wowee) but i think where im going its a lot easier to get into the industry because of connections with IndyCar

also has a Formula SAE program

(it is an easy path to go on if I wanted to do it)

if you chose the college because you’re interested in the industry then that’s entirely valid

for me it was more a case of idk what i want to do but the place i went to specialized in electronics so i kinda acclimated myself to it which worked because i didn’t really know what i wanted to do (and i still kinda don’t :wowee: but i at least have more direction than befire)

nah i chose it because its a really good engineering school

(and they gave me cash money)
(i am very fortunate)
