Immigration doesn't affect us at all because you need a security clearance and that's only possible if you're a U.S. citizen.

I guess some folks just aren't into rockets I suppose... Also it's a very competitive field...

>How will I know that I can handle it?

You won't. Even if you knew everything the workload is still intense. I wouldn't worry about it though... If you're already concerned enough to worry about these things chances are you care enough to put the work in.

>From what I've heard, it's so similar to ME that engineers in the field advise to stay with ME.

There's some truth to that... My Bachelor's is ME and I'm glad I went that route. You learn a broader range of useful material and you can specialize in aerospace for grad school.

My aerospace defense nigga

I've been hired for a defense project, but only if the company wins the bid. I've been waiting for months now for it to come in. They haven't even told me what the project is.

Still, all this waiting makes me think I'll probably be working on THAT, which would be pretty cool

It's really hard to be an engineer. You must do a lot of practice in high school before you get into an engineering school or else your professor tyrone will make your asshole bleed. The best engineers are the ones that already had some experience handling big black cocks so they didn't feel so much pain when the final exams came.

Nice what company? And yes, the defense industry moves kind of slowly as with any government work so it may take a while to get the bid. Any clue as to what the project is about? Also what's your major? That might give some clue as to the project as well.

Don't want to give to much away, but the company gets a lot of work from Boeing, and is known for designing and building underwing structures, but it's expanding into other stuff. The only thing I know about the project is that they want sone FEM work done for it, since they hired me for that. Just graduated in ME last spring. Got the offer over the summer.

Yep, lots of neat stuff you can do with it! With computation being so cheap, it'll get more and more important for complex structures, I think. A good field to get into, I hope!

I started on College Algebra 1. Sure, I had to spend an extra couple of semesters, but I also worked through a lot of major requirements(econ class, public speaking, liberal arts requirements etc) and other things that would have filled my schedule and made my day more hectic. By doing this, I actually made my engineering degree fairly easy compared to my peers and I graduated with a 3.9 GPA and had much much more time on my hands.

Employers don't care at all how long it takes you to graduate. It is already advised by most to take 5 years for an engineering degree, just to make it easier on you.

Looks bretty good, but really all fields should point to aerospace, because that's a big, vague field. Civils can go on to work on aerospace structures (I've seen it happen), avionics is a HUGE field full of EEs, and chemical engineers can make composite materials, bonding materials, and coatings for planes.

You're generalizing entire fields and somehow have an idea that finance is more enjoyable than engineering, so you have no idea with what you're going on about and clearly aren't more than an freshman in university.

If you don't enjoy engineering, then why are you even considering it? If you're going for a maths degree, you won't have any sort of backing for engineering past your second year, so you'd be wasting your time. You either have a knack or you don't and I don't think that you do.

I'll say, if it was ME and I was going for maths... deducing what would actually be worth the time I spent on my degree and ON PAPER, what would be most successful if I pursued it? It'd be finance without a doubt. Maths majors aren't really the best for going to grad school for engineering.

Would I ever in my life actually want to work in finance? Holy fuck, just give me the gun now. If you think that Finance is more interesting or less bureaucratic than engineering, you're in for a very rude awakening. It's probably the most soul-sucking thing you can do, which is why the guys in that field are usually total sociopathic morons.

Who would I respect more and such? It'd be the engineer. Most people don't respect people who enter finance.

Once again, this is irrelevant. Society respects engineers as they are practical and allow us to progress. Few people respect who go into finance.

Of course you will use this when choosing as you're a human being. How much? That depends on the person.

Also, talking about people like "plebeians in the street" makes me think that you're a delusional person and a bit of a dick head, anyway. Seeing this, you don't sound like a person that would ever see the reason to have even the slightest inclination to an altruistic path by entering engineering and would be a terrible engineer, anyway.

This is all just a guess, though. Nobody ITT knows you so we can't make any sort of judgement on what kind of person you are.

As I already said, you're just a delusional kid. You'll figure this stuff out on your own sooner or later if you don't listen.

What would I care about some freshman telling me that I'm pathetic when I'm probably over a decade older and am in a completely different part of my life? It's your life and you'll either fuck it up or come out okay as the case for many people in university. It won't affect me.

So, what I'm saying is that when given advice, especially after coming here and asking yourself, and then complaining because it's not what you wanted to hear, maybe you should take a look in the mirror and stop being stubborn and idiotic. We're not your parents. We're going to tell you how it is and truly, you can grow up and accept the truth or you can fade away into delusion. I'll speak for myself when I say it's no skin off my bones, which choice you make.

Keep going anon, this is hilarious. Is it making you mad knowing that I think less of you right now? Certainly comes across as that, I mean you apparently picked your career path because you were worried that someone would think the lesser of you. I'm going to go to bed happy tonight anon, because now I know that no matter how bad my life might get it's still better than being so cuck'd that I'd worry about some guy who doesn't know me would think of me. I don't know what happened to you to think that this is "altruistic" or making life decisions based on what I want and not what others might think is delusional, but it must have been terrible.

Probably true, although at the very least, in finance, particularly in a large firm, your boss will have passed the same exams as you, so at least your boss will know what is and isn't possible, unlike the middle manager that engineers have to deal with.

>>7579526

For me, I'd be more concerned about my boss. I don't want to be asked to do literally impossible things on a regular basis by a boss that doesn't know shit about my job (...my pitty goes out to anyone with 'Computer' in their degree or job title).

CS student here.

Currently considering EE or CSE. Basically, what I would aim for with that is software development. But I'm also interested in more tangible things - CS seems mostly theoretical. Basically, I want to see my work in places other than a screen.

Is it right for me to consider EE/CSE?

I'm going to have 0 school related extracurriculars to add to my resume because my school sucks for that type of thing. The only thing I can think of to help me get an internship is learning CAD and matlab by myself. Is this going to be enough to get an internship at a large aerospace company like boeing, lockheed, or etc? I'd also like to intern for nasa but without something besides CAD and matlab I'm pretty sure I'm fucked ;_;

No nonononon no. No. Why are engineers so banal? You are overloading symbols, thus error.

<span class="math">m=\int_v \rho dx dy dz[/spoiler]

Becouse you divide the volume <span class="math">v[/spoiler] into small and smaller cubes. Somewhere you will approach cubes that have near constant density <span class="math">\rho_{i,j,k}[/spoiler]. Now you need to sum them up, and you will get triple Riemann sum. Little bit of math and you will get the formula.

Guys i got a bit of a doubt here. Im getting my Bachelors in ME next year and I wish to pursue a Master's degree in either Mechanical or Automobile engineering. Not sure which. Any inputs?
Also confused whether to do a MEng degree or an MS degree. MS requires a thesis while MEng does not. Which would be recommended?

What major doesn't matter as much as what thesis/project, what faculty, etc

MS or MEng doesn't really matter either. However, on a resume and for you education, doing more work is always better than doing less work.

I also recommend you get some good, full-time work experience before finishing your Master's

Damn, maybe I'm impatient, but I'm sad to see that the earlier trolling anon(s) have killed my chance of getting a reply, but I suppose that when I think about it, I have no fucking clue how a maths grad sells himself as an engineer, like - would you even get trained once you've got the job?

Maybe I should ask a more general question, since most people here are working in engineering, I'll ask "what are the pros/cons of working in your job/field?"

Me again... I've been doing some thinking, tell me if I'm right or wrong here.

Consider every field of engineering.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, marine, mechanical, nuclear and petroleum.

Consider the jobs in these for a maths graduate.

For aeronautical, chemical, electrical, marine, nuclear and petroleum, you'd have no fucking chance of getting the job without knowledge of the actual field, in short - a maths grad stands no chance.

That leaves civil and mechanical, which if I'm not mistaken are the two most oversaturated parts of engineering, and both have shit pay.

Am I right or wrong?

CS graduates are mostly terrible java monkeys.

Do EE if you want to get into serious software development.

I did CSE and most, if not all of the decent lecturers, even for the CS taught modules, were EE.
We had a module split with the CS undergrads doing really basic MIPS architecture.
The CS students had literally no fucking clue about how the hardware works, cannot program with embedded systems to save their lives.

Me again, I think I've came up with a good argument that maths grads have little to no chance of getting engineering jobs in the UK (and maybe in general, but my stats were UK only). If you guys look over it, it could genuinely change my life, and it'll give you a good copypasta to rid this thread of maths undergrads and any shitposters like the earlier guy.

Mech here in petrochemicals. You seem to be doing the right things but i recommend getting plant experience for your next internship. The summer months are more competitive, so do a fall or spring coop. Go to your career fairs with resumes in hand.

Also, polish the resume and practice interviews. Some schools offer it

>>7587588

I don't hire directly, but if you know CAD, you can learn the rest. The mechanics of using the software are wasy, it's interpretating what the engineer wants is the most challenging part (as most will give you inaccurate drawings).
