one of these days i will actually get a job
wow
The program i got accepted to has a first year without a declared major but im interested in electrical
I canāt get Pell grant annoyingly because Iām 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 donāt really need it; Iām a good deal richer than almost all my colleagues
me waiting to find out if i get the national merit scholarship
Itās 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 itās 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 werenāt taught very well
if iām being honest i found mechanics and materials science the easiest but electronics and microengineering modules were probably the most interesting
if Iām being honest itās really likely i switch it up after my first year lol
like
bring a race car engineer or smth would be fucking cool and Iād have to go mechanical for that
Really strong urge to go run 35 miles after I put my laundry in the dryer lol
Donāt think I can resist so probably will
electrical is super interesting and versatile tho so idk
I took a digital electronics class last year that i really loved as well
Mechanical / aerospace forever
Applied physics will never not be sick
idk what the timeline looks like for engineering internships in the UK, but is there anywhere thatās still accepting applicants?
it depends what part youāre interested in contributing towards
there are labels like automotive engineering but at the end of the day thatās 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 thereās 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 iām waiting until next week when my teaching starts to ask him for advice
I pinged somebody to reference an in-joke and they donāt 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 youāre interested in the industry then thatās 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 didnāt really know what i wanted to do (and i still kinda donāt 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)
