>Is X a meme major?
Unless it is Biomedical, Mechatronics, or Systems Engineering your major XE major is not a “meme”. Additional meme majors include chemical and nuclear engineers. They are challenging degrees but there are just not enough jobs to keep up with graduating students. Many bitter anons in these threads are ChemE students or unemployed ChemE graduates.

>Why is Mechatronics or Bio Engineering a meme degree?
They are often very shallow degrees at the undergraduate level. Students end up becoming a master of none and are outclassed by the more common disciplines. For the longest period of time these courses were only Master/PHD opportunities. A good undergraduate program is very rare for either discipline. Your meme state school isn’t one of those programs.

>I can’t find a job
What is your GPA? What is your experience? Is your resume shit? Do you interview well? When did you start looking?
>GPA
A GPA of 3.0 is the bare minimum for most companies.
>Experience
Experience is helpful but is not needed to get a job. You will have a much tougher time though and will need to grind out applications. College clubs and personal projects are good ways to get at least some experience if it is not professional experience.
>Resume
Post your resume if you want it to be reviewed. Try and quantify actions at your job, don’t just list your responsibilities. If you have no professional experience emphasize your school projects/clubs/personal projects.
>Interviewing
It helps to practice and write down your answers to question that you think you will be asked. Using Glassdoors can be helpful when trying to figure out what kind of questions specific companies ask.
>Candidate
You don’t need to be a 3.9 GPA, 3 internship, non white student to get a job in Engineering. Just keep in mind Apple/Boeing/Broadcom/Google/Intel/etc, don’t generally hire <3.0 GPA no experience autists that are incapable of talking to other human beings.

You will make it!

I have a question for the process engineers: Do you have any interesting comparisons of good vs bad process engineering?

I was discussing with my friend how a firm like ducati routinely makes less reliable machines than, say, honda - despite using much higher quality materials and price points etc. I said this was down to the lack of economy of scale, and they just cannot invest in fine tuning quality control in the same way that huge firms can. But I feel like this was a shallow answer. Any anons care to shed some light?

A while back I remember seeing companies asking for min 2.7GPA but now it's risen to 3.0GPA. I have a feeling this field is getting more and more competitive with every passing day. How long will it be before they start asking for min 3.3GPA?

Also is 3.3 GPA good enough because I suspect that there might be quite a few underemployed >3.5GPA dudes just floating around looking for work.

Hey guys, serious question. I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering in a prestigious college. I think I fucked up, though. Shit just raised its price a 110% and they will probably raise it again next month. I just don't think I'll be able to pay for it. There's a chance, though. But it's improbable.

Other option is going for a less prestigious, but still good university. It's fairly far away from home, but there's subway. The problem is that is doesn't have the option to study EE. It only has these:

Serious career/life question

I graduated with a Math/CS degree five years ago but I've been underemployed (and now unemployed) since then. Never got a development job. I'm smart and excellent at math though, my average was 87% (my school doesn't do GPA) which is nearly 4.0. I spent all my time studying, but never did any of the things you are actually supposed to do like network, apply for internships (and get laid) because of extreme social anxiety.

I'm 28 and thinking that I might be best off just starting over, with a new degree. Fuck competing with pajeets over some dumb code monkey job. I want something where I get to use mathematics or physics on the job, not writing code that any brainlet can do.

So I'm thinking that I'll go get a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, reset the clock (hopefully). This time I'll do co-op, network properly, make friends, actually apply for internships and get to know my profs. Join clubs and shit. Maybe get involved with robotics, shit like that. Be a student instead of a nameless faceless number who just turned in assignments and wrote exams.

What do you guys think? Will I be able to make it? Could this actually work? Am I just going to be some weird freak or outcast? Will already having a Bachelors fuck me over in some way? Will having an employment gap fuck me?

Your biggest problem for getting employed is your long-term unemployment, and I doubt getting a new bachelor's will fix that. If you could somehow fix that, your maths degree should have a chance of landing you a job as an analyst or something. Also, you really will need to work on your social anxiety no matter what

I'm both EE and IE major. IE degree is generally more flexible and has more jobs than EE, but both are pretty good. Both use a lot of math (mostly calculus and complex analysis for EE and mostly stats and graph theory for IE), so i hope you like math.
Telecom is mostly an EE subfield, so if you need to pick the most similar to EE, pick that one. I think most telecom jobs require a master at least, i think, and telecom has fewer jobs than both EE and IE, but still a pretty good degree.
If you pick IE, make sure the program is good, i have seen that IE is generally worse on american units (make sure the degree requires you to take a lot of stats classes, process classes (fluid mechanics, thermodynamics), mathematical finance and some manufacturing classes. If you can, ignore all the brainlet marketing classes, they are mostly useless if you like engineering. You can pick a couple of business classes if you plan on having your own business in the future, but make sure the professors are legit.

CAD Design Engineer working automotive here. As far as Honda is concerned, their parts look like they were made with hammer by some old Japanese peasant on a rice farm. It is "reliable", but seriously IMO they are missing the point.

Also on RFQ phase suppliers are bound by contract to improve the process and do some sort of optimizations to be able to conduct further business with Honda, but this is nihil novi, all OEMs do similar stuff.

Btw, process isn't that important if it comes to reliability - high Cpk/PPK just means that suppliers have fewer complaints and that manufactured parts have tighter tolerances than design allows.

It's just conservative and a pain in the ass. It won't make car better if the design in itself is poor.

Also new Civic is designed in India by external/internal company that makes welded assemblies and they send it back to Honda in USA for official release.

Only reason to list an objective is if there are extraordinary reasons for you to apply to a job. Like if applying to something across the country you might mention your intention to relocate. Or if you are transitioning careers to something that doesn't match your experience.

The first half of this is pretty awful advice, especially leaving off projects. Even if they weren't award-winning quality, deliberately omitting your electronics experience on an EE application is pants-on-head retarded.

But your work experiences section should definitely be more than just 1 bullet. Irrelevant work experience is where you spin a few bullets into making you look responsible and capable of handling your shit. Cut out some of the flood of irrelevant courses you've taken if you have to make room (no one gives a fuck that you took a probability class).

Also remove the objective line. This is fucking cringe, I don't know why templates still suggest people do it.

Well I can get a non-technical job through family connections, so my resume won't be empty. But it won't count as experience for any sort of job I actually want.
My hope is that in an Engineering program I can find internships or co-op work placements, and my lack of relevant experience won't matter for getting these entry level positions. Any University with a co-op program will help their students get hired.

I just need to do something to reset. But I guess a big employment gap will look bad no matter what. I won't be able to use the excuse of "I just graduated high school" to explain a lack of experience on my resume.

Honestly feel like this is such an important point about engineering - if you're in the US, Canada or Germany it seems like you're going to earn well in excess of average as an engineer, but this doesn't seem to be the case for the rest of Europe or even Aus/NZ at all.

That's why you think before you act. I'm currently studying in Germany, but I'm from eastern Europe. After I graduated school I chose EE, cause I didn't want to go for CS and EE was the closest thing to it that would provide me with job opportunities and give me personal satisfaction.

It depends on the CAD program. They usually have system requirements and recommended specs on the site or on the packaging if you somehow managed to buy it offline. I would not recommend an i5, dual core processor, but it might work if you're alright with it consistently taking a while to load and possibly crashing every once in a while. Also the amount of RAM you have will be important for this sort of application. I would recommend at least 4 GB.

The processor is essentially the thing that makes things run faster, while the RAM is more for how many programs/how large of programs can be used at a time. It depends on what sort of stuff you'll be doing with the software. I'm not too familiar with NX, but CAD software in general is notorious for using a lot of RAM. On par with video editing software, if you're familiar with that.
Personally I would get a computer that has at least 8 GB RAM and a quad core (multithreading preferred but not required) if you'll be doing a good bit of CAD work. Getting a more powerful PC is also an investment for the future, as it's futureproofed for future programs that might require more processing power than the programs you use today.
If you're looking to save some money, you could check to see if the school has laptops that can be checked out or if they have computer labs with this software already on it. Assuming you're at a school and not, say, at home doing school online.

The GPU isn't a very big deal with CAD afaik. The FEA bit is a little concerning, since it tends to be more process heavy, but the school computers I used for FEA had similar specs and worked alright, albeit slow. I think your choice is a good choice for the price range you're looking for. If worse comes to worst you could always install a program that lets you use the computing power of your home PC on your portable PC, albeit at the cost of some speed and security. I personally haven't used a PC like what you're looking at, but given the information I have I don't think it would be a particularly bad choice. I'd say go for it.

For one thing, Ducatis are made far more finely. Less tolerances for issues, and they're generally higher-strung, which requires more intensive and attentive maintenance.
If you mistreat it, a Honda won't flinch due to being made to deal with that. Ducatis? Nope, they'll fucking die.
It's less of a "bad engineering" perspective and more that Honda's stuff is engineered for a different purpose than Ducati's. The former is built for "very good, for a long time". The latter is "fucking outstanding, for a short time if you don't maintain it."

The downward force would push the object further into the water, increasing the displacement of the object- the force of water attempting to push it back up would balance out, until the object fully submerges. At this point, if the object is open-topped, it fills with water and most likely sinks. If it's not, if the force pushing it down is removed, it will pop back up until the weight of the water displaced is equivalent to the weight of the object.

F/m=a. The acceleration caused by gravity is far too much, given that it'd yield a force of 785N.
The downward acceleration that would equal 630N of force is (630/80) = 7.875 m/s^2. But the acceleration of the human is the max force applied minus G, which we have a downward of G and an upwards of (630/80), which when we add together, gives us (-9.81+7.785 = -1.395)m/s^2, or rounded for sigfigs, 1.4 m/(s^2).

Anything where you need a long endurance fixed wing UAV but you don't want to carry around a bulky aircraft and catapult. Fire crews could potentially carry it on them when fighting forest fires, and launch it when they need to peak over a ridge. But also anywhere you need real time mapping or ground inspection, like agriculture, mining, disaster relief, etc. It would be great for the military as a squad-level surveillance UAV since it's so compact and rugged, but I imagine it would be harder to sell to them.

Hey, I go to school literally in the middle of the largest refinery in the united states and I can tell you from experience that, at least in this corner of texas, petroleum engineering is a fucking meme.

Every career fair that my uni has hosted only hired mechanicals, chemicals, and electricals to the plants.

Don't overspecialize in your undergrad. Mech E and Chem E are the best ways into the refinery industry.

If you want to get into engineering in general, I'd still suggest Mech E. Way more opportunities than the other disciplines.

Also, about the Mechatronics, in all of my searching for an internship and looking at job postings, not a single fucking time have I seen that degree as desired. It's just as much of a meme as all the other degrees.

Hey, I'm about to graduate with someone who's got a job lined up at the Johnson space center, and from what she's told me, if your grades are good and you're going to one of the local schools they recruit from and you're a total space fanatic in your interview, chances are good. If you want to get into the space industry look for firms that are contracted by the company you want to work for, build your experience there, and you'll have a pretty good shot of making it into a place like nasa, space x , or JSC

How often do civil engineers go back and forth from consulting and government work? The type of projects and work that consultants do sounds interesting but I don't know if I'd want to do it forever. Maybe consulting for a few years to work on those cool big innovative regional projects and then work at a comfy suburb earning a pension and 6 weeks of vacation a year.
