>>9620415
>doctors (especially the old guard) are some of the most pretentious people I've men in my entire life
how so

>>9620429

I go to a lot of coordination meetings where they're present (because they represent the investors and clients) and they meddle in things they have no clue about but will persistently try to force their (often clueless) opinions to be the lasting decision. I'm sure they're great surgeons but you really shouldn't act like you have any kind of authority when discussing optic network infrastructure or acting like you know how much degrees of compensation should a system have. I literally heard two doctors telling each other after a meeting "if peasants can do this when should be able to learn it in a few weeks". Which would be fine and dandy if it were true but they just induce facepalming whenever they're talking during meetings.

>>9620287
Engineering is literally applied science and math (all branches).

>>9620371
Is aerospace a finnicky industry?

Why are all my engineering math classes so handwavy? Going to an engineering school was a mistake

>>9620566

Handwavy in what sense?

>>9620581
In that they don't have proofs or even explain why things are true and say lol just memorize the formula :^). This why engineering is a cancer ridiculed on /sci/

>>9620595

What? You're confusing what actually is being taught with how most people study.

>>9620566
>Going to an engineering school was a mistake
Indeed it was. You should´ve studied actual engineering at university, instead of taking the brainlet way out by attending a glorified vocational college.

>>9620666
it is a university

>>9620614
>>9620581
they're teaching how to use formulas instead of how/why they work

>>9620595
Nothing stops you from looking up proofs yourself silly nigger.

>>9620581
The math involved in deriving them is far too advanced for a semester course. So they just explain the high level idea, maybe include some simpler proofs / proof sketches to present some intuition, and move on from there. OP is a faggot who hasn't yet realized there's a reason every course label in his curriculum starts with the words "Intro to..."

>>9620711
bullshit, they should teach analysis instead of calulus in post high-school education

>>9620697

They teach you how and why. You have to know why it works if you're planning to implement it.

>>9620711

Dunno, I distinctly remember professors showing the proof for every major formula and doing it during lecture, especially in later, more theoretical, classes. The only difference being it's mainly not required to know the proof by heart but they always recommend to arrive by it yourself at home to better understand what you're doing.

>>9620748
>They teach you how and why.
No, they teach you HOW TO USE formulas.
It's more like training than teaching

>>9620758

It's definitely not just how to use formulas but I see there's no point in talking with you. Bye.

>>9620748
>Dunno, I distinctly remember professors showing the proof for every major formula and doing it during lecture, especially in later, more theoretical, classes.
In my classes they went over the absolute most important derivations, but left a lot to look up on our own. Too many of them would just be a waste of lecture time; not only because of length, but because of complexity. Truly comprehension involves reading, rereading, thinking deeply, and then thinking some more. Running through them in a lecture would be in one ear, out the other for >90% of students.

>>9620711
Yeah, I do math. Why don't you try to proof something, stupid dog. Proving is working. Don't just read a proof, do it yourself or you will remain a dumb nigger. Show me the proof that sqrt(2) is irrational. Don't look it up, just do it. This is kindergarten stuff. If you can't even do that than get back to your intro to proofs course.

This is why I hate engineers they think they know it all, but know nothing. Dunning kruger to the max.

>>9620769
Yes, and this why engineers shouldn't prentend to be scientist of mathematicians!

The absolute state of engineering. Can't even prove the easiest theorem. Yet they think they can do math. Lmao. I'm done arguing, but I'm not done laughing. Haha, why don't you just stop embarrasing yourselves and get back to redd*t where you belong? Leave math to the mathematicians and science to the scientists and leave /sci/. Or do I have to explain with a picture?

>>9621042
Yes and it is a stupid observation, befitting of an engineer. Lmao. You guys can't even save yourselves from your own posts!

>>9620285
Professional. Finished my BSEE in May, had a job offer in September, was dropped before I even started when I was denied an interim security clearance, and after a desperate search just got a couple offers last week. Feels good.

>>9622189
why did you get denied clearance?

I was offered an internship at NASA GRC recently and have been having a hard time deciding on if I am going to take it or not. The reality is I have 12 unfilled NASA applications into projects I'd rather work on at locations I'd rather live at. The position isn't totally irrelevant to my interests, it's just not directly aligned with my career goals (think software vs aerospace engineering), and the other positions I applied to put me in a much better position for getting into the masters labs I want to work in. I have not heard anything from any of them yet and I believe it's still around the time the centers are making first contact with candidates (submitted all within the past month). This will be my last internship before I apply for graduate schools and I'm lacking in relevant, directly aerospace engineering experience.

This position I was offered wasn't something I applied to either, nor something I would have spent one of my 15 applications on. I was just sent an email via OSSI asking if I wanted to do it. The experience it provides related to my career goals is minor, but not insignificant.

I think I'm fairly qualified, with a few big name internships under my belt, my gut is telling me this could be one of my biggest regrets if I got an offer for another position, but I would also have massive regret if I got nothing NASA related in the end and didn't get any of the positions.

Any advice for what I should do? I don't have very long to accept or decline.

>>9622243
No idea. I was only denied the interim, and the company didn't want to wait for the regular clearance. No idea why and they won't say why with the interim. I don't have massive debt, I had two uses of marijuana ever, both more than 6 months previous, and I had a single instance of ritalin misuse (over my prescribed amount).

>>9622266
in the long term you should probably just get your foot in the door and you will have chances to transfer later

>>9622283
Foot in the door? It's an internship at a center that doesn't do anything I'm interested in, any networking I'd be doing at GRC would be with people I will never see again, realistically.

>>9620721
Why? Calculus has more applications than analysis and if you teach analysis then people who many not consider a future in math are then forced to go through semesters of shit that really isn't applicable to them. A lot of undergrads go into university not knowing what they want to do. Having them learn a class that's a lot more niche than calculus doesn't really make sense from an efficiency stand point.

>>9622286
i meant that getting a job with NASA would be getting your foot in the door. the internship could lead to a job. then you can transfer. in the govt in general, not just NASA, getting in is the hard part. transferring is not as hard

>>9622300
Getting into NASA is not that hard. There are hundreds and hundreds of summer interns, and only 1-2% end up full time. I don't necessarily want to work at NASA full time either. I just want relevant experience.

>>9622319
>Getting into NASA is not that hard
depends on your standard i guess
>There are hundreds and hundreds of summer interns, and only 1-2% end up full time
that does make it sound kinda hard though
>I don't necessarily want to work at NASA full time either. I just want relevant experience.
I dunno man. it sounds like you have the quals but not the connections. are you an undergrad? go to grad school and study with a professor who has connections

>>9622330
Bro you're making all these giant leaps and not understanding what I'm saying

The school(s) I want to get into pretty much require me to have relevant aerospace engineering experience to get in. This NASA position would be more software, with a touch of aerospace.

>>9622334
>The school(s) I want to get into pretty much require me to have relevant aerospace engineering experience to get in
grad schools don't really have requirements for internships. they look at research exp and letters of rec

>>9621803
You think I'm bad? Look at /math/ sometime, now that's bad. It seems you still mistake my disdain for megalomany. But I've had my fun. I'll leave you non-scientist and non-mathematicians.

>>9622081
Lolwat? What exactly do you claim I don't understand? Try me.

>>9622428
Let's start with reading comprehension

i've read that mechanical engineering is very broad in what it covers and has a lot of carry over to other kinds of engineering. how accurate of a statement is that?

please don't bully me, i just wanna get my life on track.

>>9622437
Well then, why don't you teach me "wise master"?

>>9622437
Oh, now I see. Didn't read the green bit as I had written here. At least I know what I don't know, unlike you!

>>9622493
Check out the sticky
>>9622495
Clearly not

>>9622459
reasonably accurate.
chemicals and civils are specialized versions of mechanical. Mechanical overlaps with electrical only in control systems. Aerospace = Mechanical, just about. nearly all bio-engineering jobs are held by dudes with degrees in mechanical.


>t. B.S. Mech Eng.

What's your guys' average day consist of? What type of programs do you use? How often do you work together with others to make shit? Preferable answers from guys with jobs in engineering but interested in students as well.

Am I going to a shitty university or is this normal?
I got into mechatronics and thought that I would be simply studying physics, math and programming. But two weeks in I realized that virtually every class was about working in a team, reading bullshit all the time and doing shitty expositions. I suck when it comes to being around people, speaking in public and reading.
Are engineers nowadays really supposed to do all that boring shit?
Is software engineering, comp sci or systems engineering any better in that regard?
Does an autistic faggot like me even have a chance of getting a bachelors in engineering?

>>9622635
Kinda sounds like it. I studied physics, maths, programming and a group orientated class in my first year.

>>9622635
Also in mechatronics
Never have to deal with people except in labs and the one big design project we have to do
But Im also not a clapper

>>discipline?
ChemE/Metallurgy
>>current projects?
Working on optimising grinding pulp chemistry when milling oxidised ore. Pretty much done, will likely save the mine $800k+ in lost copper annually.
>>anything interesting?
Always interesting projects going on in mines, pretty much every department has some sort of project they're working on (EE, enviros, mechs, mining engineers etc). Get to work alongside almost all types of engineers so I'm always learning.
Plus the mining industry pays graduate engineers like $125k+ straight out of uni with an equal time roster.

Who deals with alternative energies more, Chemical or Mechanical engineers?

>>9623226
Mechanical

>>9622635
In my experience is just the first year, they do it so autistic people make friends and groups.

>>9622635
My intro to EE and Comp Sci was like this. The projects were group projects and the first three weeks of class were all about working as a team effectively.

>>9623535
interesting, what about biofuels, and biomaterials?

>>9620287
I'm an chem engineer and some of my classmates have no regard for the material, just plug n chug. I went back to school to learn, I feel like I'm in the aisles of the hardware section of Walmart. I need a shower

>>9624426
ChemE seems like a mixed bag, it looks like there's a lot of interesting topics in it, but at the same time stuff like pulp/paper, and process engineering sounds mind numbing.

what kind of job prospects are there for someone with an associate of science with an engineering field of study? i'm getting a B.S. minimum, but in the mean time i was wondering what kind of positions someone who had at least that much could apply for.

>>9620784
I think a lot of engineers would rather do something useful with their time

Yeah, I'm showing all the signs of dunning kruger: looking things up in outside sources, studying on my own outside of class, and encouraging others to do the same.

>>9624684
If you're applying for actual engineering roles after you graduate with a bachelor then no.

To make a long story short I went to community college with the goal of transferring as a mechanical engineer completed all the prereqs but because of some stupid reasons and because I was gonna be at cc for 1 more year I switched to CS instead.

Now I'm transferring as a CS major. I guess now I'm having regrets. My fears with ME where that it would be difficult to find work after. Another fear initially is that it would be much more difficult then CS hence me switching to the easier major. Problem being I'm not good at programming and the uni I'm going to seems to be very work intensive for programming projects.

Honestly, I think I'm just feeling that the grass is greener on the other side. But when I was on the ME route that's how I felt towards CS. Is it difficult to find work with ME or will CS always be easier for finding work with better pay? Are engineering jobs flooded right now? Doesn't help I did all the prereqs so I feel I did all that work for nothing...

>>9625181
>My fears with ME where that it would be difficult to find work after.

it's literally THE "any job i want" major ya goof ball.

>>9620339
>Cooking is applied chemistry

>>9625214
I know, I get that next to CS its the most employable major but I fear that those jobs might not pay as good as CS.

What I meant is I fear I might not find high paying work. Basically where I live software jobs dominate.

>>9625277
>pursuing a job primarily for the pay

huge mistake. STEM fields in general will command great pay anyway, but if you're letting the possibility of a few extra grand a year sway your career path, you'll quickly come to regret it.

besides, if you just want easy, abundant money above all, then ditch the brainiac shit and start hookin' and/or strippin'.

Listen. It seems you still don't comprehend. Engineering is nice and all, a non-trivial profession. However it is neither science nor math. So wtf are you doing on /sci/? Apart from replying to me like madmen desparate to prove their existance, I've seen some talk about school and work. Where's the science? Where's the math? Get out. This board is clearly not for you. All right. Time to get back to analysing elliptic PDE's and the finite element method using Sobolyev spaces. (intro to analysis course, lmao. I surely hope you at least had one)

>>9625408
The difference where I live could be 10k or more. So its not like its a small difference and money is a huge factor in my career choice.

I find CS interesting. I just feel CS is something I could self teach. But then I start to think that if I want to do something like AI or machine learning self teaching might not be able to cut it. It feels like self teaching only applies to simple programming and web dev stuff. The more complicated things like machine learning, networks, operating systems, architecture, compilers etc. feel like things most people who are self taught don't know. Not to say its impossible to learn, but its very less likely and that will always put me in a disadvantage against someone that had a formal CS education.

I guess a better question is can an ME degree get me here or will it instead simply put me in traditional engineering jobs with a huge disadvantage and learning curve on those better paying CS jobs? I do like ME but its just not my only interest.

>>9626653
t. math sperg who feels jilted by BIG DICK ENGINEERS because his shitty little "math" degree can't even land him a job cleaning up farm animal shit and is perpetually mad because women hear about engineers and get turned on physically and intellectually while hearing about "mathematicians" is total pussy repellent

this general is for winners who use practical, functional math and science, not little faggots who turn into captain autism and talk about their gay little theories that nobody gives a shit about. fuck off, dweeb.

>>9620566
yes. its because engineering is empirical as fuck.

>>9620840
>most useful
NUMERICAL FUCKING METHODS

>least useful
pretty much everything else

very few of the problems you are going to solve as an engineer can be solved analytically. and fuck it, you already built some custom trapezoid method in excel anyways, might as well use it for the easy shit too just because spectral accuracy is fun to say.

Engineering electives actually. Basic applied functional analysis is taught in control engineering courses, many good engineering programmes allow for electives in proper functional analysis for future control theory researchers.

>>9627485
why are you even in the thread? you enjoy trolling yourself?

>>9627469
How many electives are you allowed? If you have many then maybe just try out an RF class and see if you like it. And have you taken the basic EE Emag couse yet? That is usually the intro course into RF at my uni and others Ive seen. RF is definitely a good specialization for jobs as so many things in the world use some sort of wireless communication, and those systems rely on RF typically. Until RF communications dies out you should have some type of job

>>9627770

>>9620285
Guys I need help please. I am in my last semester of my Mechanical Engineering degree and planning to do graduate study next. So far, I had been working with two professors getting a sense of what they do in their labs. First professor is in my department and works in multiscale materials modeling and simulations. The other one is in EE
and works in computational nano-devices. I like both options and both professors so far seem to be willing to accept me as a masters candidate but I can't for the life of me decide what I should do. I tried to ask the second professor for some advice and he basically told me to decide asap and commit or to fuck off. So I'm thinking of joining his lab. My question is: Is it good/bad doing your bachelors in ME and masters in EE? What are the job prospects out there for someone who did work on simulating nano-devices? Prof. basically wants me to take a project on developing adaptive mesh refinement for bridging density functional theory with coarse-grained continuum transport for non-equilibrium calculations. What do /sci/?

>>9628322
>My question is: Is it good/bad doing your bachelors in ME and masters in EE?
Doesn't matter. Research engineers tend to work on inter-disciplinary projects anyway.

There is no such thing as an accredited postgraduate degree. Your undergrad will determine your ultimate licensure.

>What are the job prospects out there for someone who did work on simulating nano-devices?
You will have to aim for academia and it will be extremely competative.

>Prof. basically wants me to take a project on developing adaptive mesh refinement for bridging density functional theory with coarse-grained continuum transport for non-equilibrium calculations.
This has already been done...I guess I don't really understand what he wants.

Was thinking of doing materials science for grad school (from physics BS), but how much programming is involved in the field, industry wise? I dont hate coding but honestly I would just not want to do it everyday at my job

>>9628376
Material science has plenty of lab rat work. You don't need any programming at all on most projects. Really depends on how theoretical the group is though.

A chemical engineer can earn good money but you're more limited as to where you can work. Generally chemical engineers will work around the coasts if you work with plastics/petroleum because obviously no one ships crude oil to the middle of the country to be processed. Although there are obviously many different career paths for chem engineers outside of petro.

I would be a mechanical engineer because there are always going to be jobs for them to do. But either one is a good choice imo.

>>9629648
I thought ChemE's in process usually work in bum fuck middle of no where like some rural part of Mississippi.

>>9629668
miss has a coast

>>9629727
Maybe that explains it, but don't places like Texas have booming ChemE sectors with all the demand for O&G?

>>9628372
>This has already been done
please gib source

>>9621255
>implying engineers dont learn as much, if not more maths and science than science students
Shit tier bait.

in general, how useful would a mechanical engineering field be with regards to being an entry point into the following fields:

aerospace
biomedical
chemical
petroleum
nuclear
marine
alternative energy (solar/wind for example)
robotics

i'm just looking for a general snapshot. i'm in no way expecting a specific, detailed report on each, just an idea of prospects into said fields.

>>9630074
All except biomedical.

>>9630120
i've read that a lot of biomedical engineers have mech eng degrees. why wouldn't it carry over there if that's the case?

>>9620285
>student or already in the workforce?
Both.
>level of education?
>discipline?
BSc in EE, doing Biomedical E MSc

>current projects?
Developing the software of a patient monitor in pure C. It's SO cash.

>anything interesting?
No.

>>9629774
Texas is also on the coast with one of the worlds largest deep water ports which is trafficked by tankers carrying crude oil which is then sent to refineries where chem engineers work... See the pattern?

>>9630198
Hi sorry to be a bother but can you answer my question here >>9627469

>>9630169
Not that anon, but I have a mech eng BSc + biomed MSc colleague, and she said the MSc was basically worthless for her. I didn't ask for an explanation because I didn't care, so take it however you will.

>>9630206
I'm >>9630198. I don't really know what you expect me to say, going on such little information. If you want to do RF, do it. I can't tell you if it's the hardest, because that probably varies across universities, and I can't tell you if it's in demand, because that might vary across countries, and I live in eastern Europe.

>>9630074
Solar would probably require a graduate degree in EE, but I'm not sure. The rest of Energy sources are all fine.

>>9630204
Hmmm.

Can Mechanical Engineers go into EE fields like RF design with a graduate degree? I find Antenna/Communications to be an interesting field.

>>9620285

>>9631549
please respond.

Off to college this year and have no idea what to do. I've been on the fence between linguistics, mathematics, but more topically electrical engineering.
I'd prefer to do research on some post-grad feat.
Just a general question: do you regret majoring in electrical engineering? Was it as wonderful as you thought it would be? Under or overwhelming?

I'm team leader for a rocksat-x payload. I don't know what kind of experiment to perform yet. Give me ideas.

>>9627499

yeah it's 7 days on 7 days off, the days on are 12 hour days and you're also living at the mine camp.
It's great because you save so much money living on site, the only thing you need to buy is alcohol at the bar all your meals are cooked for you and you catch a bus to the mine and back.
Once you finish your 7 days on they fly you back to the city. 7 days off are great because you're never on call either so once you finish work you don't have to think about it.

>>9631823
I absolutely do not regret it. Interestingly, it is after I have graduated that I'm realizing just how much I've learned.
The world is going more and more tech and IoT crazy, and I understand every single part of those things, from the Australian sand the chips are made of, to the details of modern operating systems, plus the energy grid etc.
An EE BSc is one of the most useful things a modern man can have. I have a job that I enjoy, motivates me, and makes me feel fulfilled, while also paying relatively well.

I'm not trying to say I'm above anyone, or that other disciplines aren't important, though.

It's biotec a meme?

>>9627055
ditto

>>9630074
I'm a BME, working in a medical company and have nearly daily interaction with ME's despite what other anon stated. ME's are pretty prevalent in any industry that actually makes tangible products.

>>9631549
yes, but you'll not be asked to directly work on RF work if an EE is available. Likely, they would let you stick to your training so like the construction and support of antenna, not the grid placement, orientation, or signal processing methods which I assume you find interesting.

>>9633718
Is there a way I can get into that good stuff? This is one of the only interesting parts of EE to me?

>>9633720
Its a hard entry point, as your competition will be military trained, ex-radar designers with decades of experience. the DSP side of antenna/radar has aspects that fortunately pops up in other specializations in smaller doses. Mechanical waves follow the same theories so there is a chance that you could explore this passion professionally. Even if you don't get that opportunity, you can still pursue it as a hobby.

Graduated with BA in molecular biology, going back to earn BS in chemical and biological engineering. Ways to prepare? Plan on reviewing math and physics. I will do a year at community college then transfer to my university. I want to do a PhD in bioengineering, I have done research in ChemE tissue lab for last 3 years.

>>9633745
don't you get maths/science credits?

>>9633760
I took engineering calculus I and II for my bio degree. I only took algebra physics so I'll have to retake that. I will take Calc III, DiffEQ, linear, physics I + II, engineering calculations at a community College due to cost.
Luckly I took electives in ChemE so I can graduate in 2 years.

Any love for Computer Engineering here?

>>9633770
Why do you not just apply for a PhD now? It sounds like you've already tested the waters and you could save time and money by getting another BS degree.

>>9633779
*not getting another BS degree

why is there such little job growth for ChemE?

Did you know that outside amerifat and europistan, the whole CS/CE/SE is packed in a whole called [math]Systems Engineering™[/math], the most complete and rounded degree that guarantees jobs, teaches about math, low level computation, software developing and physics all at the same time?

Get on our level, "first" world

Hows the internship hunt boys? I've gotten nothing but rejections so far, but then again, I'm only a second semester sophomore so I didn't anticipate anything.

>>9633779
>>9633782
I want to go to a top 10 - 15 for graduate school and don't think I can with my grades. I'm set to graduate with a 3.5 gpa, with straight A's in my last three semesters, but I totally fucked up my sophomore to junior years. I was broke as fuck and couldn't get a loan so I ended up withdrawing every semester, racked up a ton of W's. During that time I was doing hardcore research in my ChemE lab to keep myself busy and got a lot of posters, abstracts, and a couple papers but nothing first author. I was also working full-time during those semesters.
The PI I work for said that he will write me a great letter so I can get into a Bio-engineering PhD program somewhere like UCSF, Stanford, MIT, etc (that's where he trained). But most of those places require a degree in engineering or physics to be accepted, and I only have a BA in Biology.
Do you think I should do the second BS, or just do a masters in Bioengineering at my school and then apply somewhere better?
Thanks!

>>9634000
is it really all about grades though?

i'm 30 years and old and i'm just starting college to become an engineer

I hate bioinformatics.

what about Network engineering?

Can I get mechanical engineering jobs or at least mechatronics jobs as an EE with a minor in mechE? I realized I enjoy the classes in my minor a lot.

>>9636575
Probably, I saw job postings before that said EE or MechE. Why not just major in mechE?

>>9620595
That's not true from my experience, at least not for the maths/physics/thermodynamics courses. Actually most of these lectures were spent on deriving formulas. However in courses that are more advanced and specific to the field (and also more applied), I often received formulas without the derivation. That makes sense though because it's more important to learn the practical aspects and it would simply take too long to derive everything. But at that point you learned enough to look up the derivation somewhere and understand it on your own, if you care.

>>9636581
If I changed my major now it I probably couldn't graduate on time. For me that would be an issue financially. I could potentially get a master's in mechE though.

>>9620784
>Show me the proof that sqrt(2) is irrational. Don't look it up, just do it.
Why would I have to do this as an engineer? Makes no sense nigger.

it's on GPUs
do you lads know of any good sources for detailed information on how GPUs are made? i've been reading about photolithography and PCBs, but i need more fancy terms so i can wow my professor. the paper is being graded by the entire STEM division at my college. how do i impress a bunch of geriatric nerds?

on an unrelated note how much programming is required for MechE?

>>9636615

If you want to design air conditioner condenser coils for the rest of your life choose ME.

If you like to watch people dig holes. Choose civil.

If you want to actually do something relevant, choose EE.

It was never explained how to me how much the beginning of my career impacted the rest of my job choices.

>>9639155
I am by no means an expert and my pool of experiences and anecdotes is very limited. But from the few (not civil) engineers I've known long term, they all stayed in their respective fields over the course of multiple jobs. If they changed jobs, they worked a 'parallel' field that had overlap with their previous field.

I hear electrical engineering isn't so great as everyone says (far too long hours, no room for inovation, no time to study individual projects, high stress, etc.)

Is this true? As dumb as it sounds I learned about Tesla as an 8th grader and just began to learn a bunch of maths/physics up to now (senior)
I understand that times are different now and don't want to mistake something that would make me miserable for something that is a dream.

Good on you for escaping the neet life and starting university. If you're not an actual brainlet (below-average IQ) you can pass all of those classes with consistent hard work, whether it be reading the required material or solving a lot of exercise problems; that's all there is to it. If you aren't improving after that then either you're not cut out for it or you're not working hard enough.

literally my nigga. except I used to get a boner for signals but now i'm all about the control systems. still like signals and they help a ton with pretty much everything else.

about your synthesizer, instead of a 555 you could use a microcontroller and change up the output PWM based on the pushbuttons? you could still use the same input method you described, but I think you might achieve a better range of frequencies and maybe more reliability than a 555. you'll have to write some software though, but it would be trivial on an ((Arduino)).
or you could try a multiplexer with the array of pushbuttons into the controller and basically have all digital up until the output speaker stage. might save you a lot of physical hassle with matching the analog impedances for the original method

i'm currently working on developing a relationship with one of my teachers. we're the same age
i can see why you're annoyed. young girls love older guys

control systems and programming I would assume? love the first but anything beyond embedded programming, as in requiring the tiniest bit of framework or UI and i'm out like a match

anon i really meant it when i said i wasnt personally attacking you.
>i can see why you're annoyed. young girls love older guys
girls with daddy issues maybe but im looking for wife material which is a decent portion of the female stem student population.

>>9646060
Thanks my dude

>>9646141
you won't find wife material at your age
women are whores until they reach their late-20s/30s
just sleep around and enjoy your youth
serious relationships are impossible when you're young. she'll get bored of you / cheat on you the day she finds someone better

>I suck when it comes to being around people, speaking in public and reading.
Have fun being unemployed, should have gone into compsci if you wanted to be forever alone

>being an engineering student and working as an engineer are two entirely different things

is this good? What are you implying

>>9646195
Being an engineering student is way harder than working as an engineer

You suffer for 4-5 years to enjoy the rest of your life

Fuck off profligate. Sex before marriage is degenerate. I’m saving myself for my future wife and only marrying a virgin with an intact hymen

>>9646570
i'm a virgin
i agree with you
i'm just saying young women aren't the type to be settling down with someone
women are always looking for a better man. even when they're married. the only thing you can do is be the best man you can be, and that means making fuck loads of money.
there's the old saying "if you build it, they will come;" apply that to yourself
this is sage advice for any young man

>pursuing a degree with the intention of finding your pure maiden waifu

what a dumb fuck. learn to separate your professional and personal life you obvious incel.

Your sage advice is a misremebered movie quote.
Neither of you know shit about shit.

i have no earthly idea how you gleaned that from my post. i picked my degree because it coincides with my skillset and ideal career. it just so happens that more ring-worthy women pursue science and engineering degrees than humanities degrees. deal with it, loser.

>Neither of you know shit about shit.
BOTH OF U ARE WRONG, IM A SAGE AND WISE CENTRIST XD

contribute or fuck off. you only prove you know nothing.

there are women looking to settle down at ~20 years old. theyre just about all spoken for though. obviously the women who remain single for a long period of time are going to be mostly women who dont want to settle down.

still though im not making autistic sons and daughters by settling down with a roastie whos had her fill of fun and now wants a comfy suburban lifestyle at the age of 29. im only marrying a chick in her prime aka 22 years old max

>but i honestly hate all the late 20 something year olds in my classes. how the fuck am i supposed to meet a girl in college when 99% of my classmates are indians chinese and late 20 somethings

you probably "don't know" because you're either one, an actual dumb fuck, two, running impotent damage control or three (most likely), both.

So, EE freshmen here, but I'd like to think ahead.
What kind of stuff I could get into if I go the research path? And somewhat related, am I going to be hungry/poor as fuck?

Thanks.

i literally have no idea what you're trying to say. whatever clever snide remark it is that you think you wrote, you actually didn't.

but i can tell you're turbo assblasted over the fact that yes i would like to meet a woman in a STEM class. what guy wouldnt? what are you? a beta bitch soy boy? an embittered roastie with a blown out vag? a 33 year old earning his bachelors?

i just dont get the animosity over something so trivial

>i literally have no idea what you're trying to say

considering how puerile and stupid you very obviously are, i totally believe you. alright, carry on in your little menial world, squirt.
