Working on a long-ass form I need to fill out to get a security clearance, so I can start working in the aerospace defense industry

>Provide three people who know you well and who preferably live in the U.S. They should be friends, peers, colleagues, college roommates, associates, etc., who are collectively aware of your activities outside of your workplace, school, or neighborhood, and whose combined association with you covers at least the last seven (7) years. Do not list your spouse, former spouse(s), other relatives, or anyone listed elsewhere on this form.

Engineering is a normies-only club, apparently

I love math, physics, chemistry, and math, but it turns out I don't like engineering.

Right now I am working on modeling a pipe that will help bring water to a Rwanda village for Engineers without Borders.

Does anyone know why Bernoulli's equation would predict the flow rate to be many times higher than it actually is? The calculated is about 50x times higher than the actual.

>>7526202
It doesn't account for impurities.

>>7526210
>impurities
What do you mean by this?

Like non smooth walls that increase friction?

>>7526212
Water w/ amoebas and other goop in it

Ayyyyy I used to volunteer with one of their chapter. Good choice!

>>7526197
...do you seriously not know three people from the entire 4-5 years of university that you're good friends with?

fucking nERRDS

MGS nerds

Robotics engineer, MIT.

My fucking lab mate dicked the programming on our current project. He had one goddamn job and he fucked it up so now my side job is carrying this dickless wonder.

It would take forever to go into details but I'm about two breaths away from murdrring this fucking sperglord

>>7526252
Can't you report him for fucking shit up and doing nothing useful?

>>7526202
>Using Bernoulli's irl
pls no

>>7526243
I hate everyone, mostly because of >>7526252

Not that I'm very likable myself

>>7526255
I voiced my concern but the powers that be insist it's a group project and if I don't want to take a ding I have to step up and take control. I was told "if you know what's wrong then fix it, quit your bitching, and don't work with him again." My weekend is shot. Goddamn it

>>7526263
>pls no
I keep telling them the numbers are shit. I have even shown them step by step. I didn't expect it to work but I thought it would at least be within a factor of 10.

There is an empirical equation I was given that works really well, but I can't find a source/derivation for it.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Welcome to the rest of your life

>>7526268
Yeah, I don't remember what it is you need, but it'll definitely involve the surface friction of the pipe, turbulent vs laminar flow, and some other shit. Good luck!

>>7526264
Did you pick partners?

You have to put in a little effort to find other competent people in your major and then take classes with them if you know the classes require group projects.

I usually just do the whole project myself, because it feels easier (even though it takes longer).

I work in ballistic missile defense at Raytheon.

>>7526197

Yeah, the SF86/EQIP is a pain in the ass. Trust me though, it's worth it to put in the time to fill it out properly and fully. It makes your clearance processing go much faster. You'll get your interim pretty quickly if you don't have too many foreign contacts or international travel.

>>7526202

>Bernoulli's

It doesn't factor in friction, turbulence, or other effects. Pipe friction can be substantial over a long distance, especially if the roughness is high.

>>7526263

>doesn't like people

Do you not realize that you work with people all day as an engineer?

JUST

>>7526304
Engineers are people. Engineering students are not people.

>>7526304
>>7526312
Wait, I made that sound weird. Basically, engineering students are insufferable, but I've liked all the actual engineers I've worked with.

>>7526312
That's a retarded excuse. How ironic to say such a thing being that you are probably as insufferable and therefore have no friends to reference.

>>7526295
There is an upside though. I can't go into details but I can say that there's a teenager here from bumfuck Kentucky who has a full ride and a full lab to himself because he's working on some project for the uni. His roommate says he's running Turing tests on a P vs NP project. There's two reps from DARPA here too. Exciting stuff. The best part is the kids a fucking goth who drives a flgoddamn hearse. You can't make this shit up.

Sorry I used the wrong name.

It is pretty much Bernoulli's equation, but it also has a head loss term.

>>7526316
Never said I wasn't a terrible person. People don't leave me alone, though, so I guess my mad skillz make up for it

>>7526324
Man, sometimes I wish I didn't go to a state school. Have fun!

>>7526324
I'm jealous Anon

I am studying Chemical Engineering with a Paper science minor at a ABET credited (but still kinda shitty) state school.

I did it for the scholarship money and high future salary. Now I wanna kill myself. I wish I could study something cool like robots :(

>>7526312

Lol you'll be fine. Getting a secret is cake. Even a TS isn't too bad. It just might take a while to get the full clearance.

>>7526334

>state school

Bro, going to a state school is fine. Stop listening to elitists on /sci/. I went to a state school and I work at Raytheon now. It's entirely possible to get really good jobs coming from a state school.

>>7526339
It's fun and games until you flop the switch and nothing happens. That shit will make your blood run cold

It depends on what state school.

>>7526353
Paper is never fun and games. Just pulp, water, and additives.

>>7526356
My state school is top 150. I promise I'm smart. I wasn't planning on doing engineering.

Pls kill me.

>>7526356
muh nigga

I'm in Physics at PSU

I'm a software engineer C/C++ anJava. On the side, I'm currently working on developing my own SLAM robot. See picture. Doing the electronics and programming m ^_^
