High School Student here: Is Petroleum Engineering a good field to get into? Are there still jobs in it?

I could get a full ride to University of Oklahoma because I will be a NMS.

Right now it's not, my girlfriends grandpa was a petroleum engineer, and he along with a bunch of others just got laid off about a year ago. Your best bet is mechanical engineering since you can still work as a petroleum engineer if you do find a job in that field and if not you would still be able to go into another field. Vice versa, you would be fucked. Alternatively you can major in math and make 300k starting.

Not an Engineering Question, but a college question in general. Has anyone had to take out a private loan, with finical ad and my grants, I'm still a bit short, stammering around 3k a semester. Been trying to cover the costs myself as my family is already taking the burden of my sibling college cost in some expensive private school, but I don't think it will be possible for me to get close at the end of the summer.

tl;dr Private loans? Anyone had to take them? And best ways to deal with them?

Shut the fuck up holy shit you retarded fucking 19 year old who doesn't know shit about the world.

Work a job you hate if it pays good money and gives you + your family a pleasant, safe, comfortable life with good healthcare with dental and eye care. Save money and buy a house in the suburbs and start a family. Work a job you hate if it pays good enough and looks good on a resume. Use funds to pay for a hobby you can spend your free time doing that you enjoy.

You think the men who came before you loved laboring in factories, digging ditches, sharecropping, mining, etc? If you can find a good paying job in an office, it's a fucking good job.

Holy shit I hate this inane, delusional platitude that literally keeps people below the poverty line. We can't run a society if everyone is a dancer and musician and singer. We need people working stressful jobs. Boomers are importing third worlders by the millions, it's a fucking rat race. in 2018 you have to work your ass off to get a middle class life that previous generations could have working at their nearest factory.

Never make another post to this website again. You are completely out of touch with reality and your feel good rhetoric literally ruins lives.

Depends on the country and uni. In mine, industrial is a mixture between Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing engineering with some Chemical engineering classes the first 3 years, and business, finance and math (mostly statistics, optimization and graph theory) classes the last 2 years.
Systems here is basically Software engineering with some business classes.

I got a D in Chem, C+ in Phys II and C in Intro to Programming and I currently have a 2.6 GPA because I was going through some rough times. I did well in first semester but not so much the second. The co-op/internship cut-off is 2.3 GPA. Should I retake those classes?

My old advisor gave an example that if youre sending a package somewhere that RF is the type of box you put it in and communications/DSP, etc is what you put in the box if that makes sense. Honestly might be the other way around but they are different. RF is more circuits and antennas based and communications is more signal processing and systems based from what I understood. I didnt go into eithrr though so I have no clue

If you have the time and money you might as well retake them and actually focus on them. You may be able to get away with just doing really well the rest of your semesters and showing an upward gpa trend will be good too. Get active in clubs or try to do research to help alleviate the bad gpa too

I posted in the another thread about how I got a job as a "systems engineer" (I know) at a gov. contractor, and they barely give me any work, and the work they do give is filled with ridiculous engineering acronym autism. I will just warn you guys if you want to be mentally stimulated, do not do this.
My job consists of reading requirements for tests our lab does and going through this huge ass shared document and making sure the test procedures are correct, linked to all the right versions of the product. Basically whatever I'm told to do in that document. It is boring tedious, requires nothing I learned in my degree (physics B.S). The pay is good but it is so mind numbing that I'm thinking about trying to switch to another department; we have a department that deals with how our system actually runs, and it involves math and physics.
Having a boring job is not as awesome as it sounds. Should have went to trade school and had a fulfilling life. Oh well.

I'm having a mini-crisis. I took a gap year after HS because I went back for a 5th year to get pre-reqs for an engineering degree because I had a change of heart at the last minute where I figured that Engineering is what I want to do. Then, I went through first year strong first sem but then getting passable marks the second, some of them barely passable (I'm >>9770943 btw). Now after two years, I'm seeing people who went for niche two-year degrees in community college get jobs and internships out of the gate. I'm worried if this will all be worth it in the end or if I just missed out on making a somewhat stable living in my 20s just because my indecisiveness before graduating high-school.

I dunno - good question. There are engineers that focus entirely on simulations or creating engineering software tools, if that's what you mean, and they're always engineers because you need to have that background to tie the software aspect to actual engineering. I've never heard of engineers going into a non-engineering software role, though. Though, I don't know many PhD's either - depending on your research, you might be a good fit for non-engineering roles, idk

>>9771144
Seems like controls would be a good field to do a master's in, but is that the field you want to work in? Figure out what job you want, then make education plans based on that. If you don't know, I'd put off the master's until you get some work experience. Employers will often cover your tuition, which is another perk of waiting. Some large employers will even offer their own classes, taught by in-house PhDs or very experienced engineers, which you might find more useful than college courses.

>>9771163
My first question is, do you just want a comfy job, or do you want to be an engineer? They're not mutually exclusive, but you can get a comfy job with a few weeks of trade school, but it takes at least a four year degree to become an engineer. If you don't have the answer to that, ask around! Talk to your classmates, many of them have friends or family members that are engineers. Join IEEE and talk with people. Ask your professors.

If you decide you want to be an engineer, you know what to do. I would recommend retaking some classes, and taking a lighter course load. Yes, you probably won't graduate in 4 years. Yes, your earlier indecisiveness has cost you. But, the past is the past, and life is long. I work with people that have pursued engineering since middle school, and with people that didn't choose engineering until they were well into their twenties. I really don't see much difference between them.

Which is the whole point. Working in an air conditioned office is easy mode and always a job you should take if it pays well and looks good on a resume such that you could springboard to a different job easily at a later time. Regardless if you """enjoy""" the job or not. It's stupid to speculate how much you will enjoy a job before working there, because your enjoyment depends heavily on your coworkers. Something that the 22 year olds on this website don't understand. You might love doing whatever r&d it is you signed up for, but if your peers and boss are dicks, you'll hate it. Meanwhile if you have a dull excel number crunching job, but your boss and coworkers are great, you could enjoy it way more.

The whole point is work a job that earns money so you can spend your free time financing a hobby you love, painting figs or doing motocross or whatever.

I wouldn't call it a job you "hate" then. It's a job that you feel neutral towards or dislike at most. Working at a job you hate is horrible for mental health, which isn't worth it even if it can pay for hobbies because if it makes you depressed you won't even want to get out of bed and do your hobbies. Otherwise I agree that just getting a job that is "meh" but pays for your hobbies is a fantastic job. Work isn't supposed to be fun, but you're not supposed to hate it either.

I think the main issue is that the market has no more need for green entry level engineers. You need to know how to sell yourself and bring value to a company. Having some experience under your belt prior to graduation seems like a must have. This can be by way of an internship, co-op, worthwhile senior project, FSAE club, etc.

The folks I've seen struggle the most post-graduation are the ones who didn't have any jobs during college, didn't get advice on how to tailor their resume, or didn't get any internship experience. Worse even still is that having a high GPA doesn't seem like a big value driver for a lot of companies. Just being part of the honor society and having the degree doesn't entice a hiring manager.

I made 50k a year after grad, moved here and started at 80k, and now I make 140k after 3 years

Not being lazy != Acepting a miserable existence doing whatever the fuck you can to make money so you can have a roof over your head and bread on the table

The later is called living under capitalism. No one wants everyone to be artists. We want people to have lives lol it honestly sounds like you don't know how bad it can get for some people. If a job makes you literally miserable and it can be done by a machine, then it's unethical to make someone do that job.

If we reduce our talking point to stressful office jobs, sure, it isn't that bad when compared to physical labour, but that doesn't mean it's not alienating as fuck and that it can't make you equally miserable.

If the point is not clear: not miserable jobs != lol everyone should be artists

A miserable job can be made not miserable by reducing the amount of hours per week of labour. For this to not impact people's income, well... you just eliminate the capitalist leech that's sucking the real value that you produce. For productivity to not decrease you add unemployed people into the equation. And so everyone has a job now, earn the same or more than before, and work much less hours (so more free time to do hobbies, family time, etc).

Hey anon, you sound like me when I was starting undergrad. It's best to crush your dreams right now rather than having your life ruined by an academic bait and switch:

The current state of the engineering job market, and the market for STEM in general, is really really bad. With a bachelor's in ME you will probably get a job using Microsoft Excel for a company that makes air conditioners. (If you're really lucky, you might get a job using Excel for a company that makes airplanes.) To get anywhere near fusion research, you will need a Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, and a postdoc. Even then you will be living on a shoestring salary and very desperate for grant money. "How did engineering get this way?" you may ask. Our wonderful politicians and business leaders found that they could make some extra money by offshoring manufacturing. As a consequence, most engineering jobs ended up leaving to be near the manufacturing as well. Now engineering is very, very competitive, and there are many times more engineers than there are engineering jobs. Even the most mundane work that an untrained high schooler could do takes 5+ years of experience to even be considered for the position.

But to answer your original question: study magnetohydrodynamics. It's the study of fluid dynamics coupled with electromagnetism.

To clarify, I live in Europe and I'm about to finish my MSc. I was thinking about attending a Nuclear Engineer training and thought about the possibility to get into fusion technology. I don't want to design a whole fusion powerplant, I just want to help development. If it doesn't work out, my dreams wont collapse.

If that's the case, yeah definitely read up on MHD. It's tricky because the interaction between between mass transport and its embedded electromagnetic field produces chaotic behavior that's difficult to simulate accurately. Also what did you work on for your MS?

Of course replies to my posts in disagreement did nothing but spew ad hominem rhetoric. That's all these platitude-spewing, impulse driven 90 IQ idiots understand. They can't deal with harsh truths that "ruin their mellow, maaaaaan". I write these posts not for their approval, but to persuade any lost young men that there is a way to success and happiness, and it's not the way public school and reddit and facebook told you. It's the path of toil and dutiful, laborious dedication. But you can achieve a comfortable lifestyle and give a middle class life to your kids no matter which echelon of society you originally came from. It doesn't have to be STEM, but the trades or starting your own small business is still strenuous and difficult.

Yeah? I didn't see any springs in the 2->1 direction gear thing, though, so it seems like it ought to differ some.
Plus, this one can turn due to random heat fluctuations from either side, while rotating backwards due to a failure would require /both/ ratchets to fail, so it seems like it ought to be twice as easy to gain energy, while half as likely to fail.

I have a question about the Z-domain: the literature says the unit step function is z/(z-1). However, when I try to derive this myself I get to the part where I want to say that sum k=0 to inf (z^-k) = z/(z-1). But this last relation only holds true for z>1, but z doesn't have to bigger than one. Sure the pole will be at 1, but z can be anything, right?

If what im gathering from your question is you have a system with input being a step function @ t=1, 1/(z-1) and the response of the system is z you get your transfer function of (1/(z-1)) * z. It should hold for all values z>1 and the response for z<1 don't matter due to the input to the system starting at t=1. Hope I didn't misinterpret the question there.

>>	Anonymous Thu May 31 15:16:19 2018 No.9780246 You understood correctly, but the input starts at 0 for a step function. How can you see that z<1 doesn't matter for t>1?

This. My father has been an EE for 25 years and says there is an over-saturation of un-employable graduates that know the theory, but can't handle the other aspects of being an engineer. The job involves a lot of business, management/leadership, financial planning, negotiating ect that a lot of them can't handle. Also, if you haven't already entered the field before you graduate, you're setting yourself up to fail. Spend a year or two doing 1 or 2 less subjects and find some part time CAD work and build contacts. If you have an engineering degree with literally any major and can't find a decent job, maybe its you, not the degree. I'm 3rd year CE and I am employed as a graduate for the company that I walked into 2 years ago and asked if they needed any help doing CAD, filing, ordering ect a couple of days a week.

I'm trying to decide between mechanical or electrical engineering and I just can't make up my mind. Some days I think I want to ME because I would probably enjoy the more physical and visual nature of the work but I also look at EE and think how awesome it would be to work on things like RF or something equally complex/cool. I've got time to figure out which direction since I'm going back to school part time for a second bachelors while working full time in IT right now.

Are you sure those aren't a minority? Most of my professors traveled aboard to get their PhDs, came back and now they teach and do research at academia. My professors that don't fall in that category are foreigners with a PhD that now teach and do research.

Hey Chris. You probably shouldn't reveal your power level on 4chan. Anyway, your resume looks ok overall but I have some thoughts:

why are you listing your github and talking about gay web dev shit? do you want to be a codemonkey?
That pipeline workshop is a complete meme and you definitely should not be listing it considering your didn't even present there, you just attended
are you putting two spaces after periods? i hate that
don't list the references, that's amateur shit. if anything, you just put "available upon request"
be consistent in the way you describe your work, gerunds vs sentences (i recommend a bullet-ed format)
your github page is kinda lame dude. you're not supposed to use it like a resume. there is shit on there that should be on your resume like the specifics of what you did on the Mars and DBF projects. And nobody gives a shit about your favorite video game or your hiking photos.
Overall, the problem I see here is that you have a bunch of class projects and extra-curricular projects but no actual experience from internships or doing research (actually i see you have one research exp but its very vague, what professor/lab did you work in? you could have been doing some bullshit on your own from the looks of it). Since you graduated without having anything set up its going to look bad wherever you apply and will get worse as time goes by. I still think you seem very employable but probably not for the best jobs. My recommendation is to go to grad school and start fresh. Use your connections with professors to set something up so you do research for them during grad school and do internships with their govt/industry contacts.
how did roasties sabotage DBF?

I only posted my codemonkey resume because I had already blacked that one from last time I posted it. Plus the salary is literally twice as high as ME work around here.

Still cleaning up my github. I have an assload of unpublished things to put there. One of my repos has been pretty popular though, and it's actually the new state of the art for what it does. I'm slowly but surely making a less janky implementation before publishing.

My research advisor was one of my references, but would it still make sense to incorporate that twice?

Basically what happened was I got this horrible autoimmine disease towards the end of undergrad that left me with partial vision loss and absolutely fucked everything up. I was going to go straight to graduate school, but everything got put on hold while I was sick, so here I am. Being sick did also preclude internships, though I did do some industry stuff with Boeing that they were pretty impressed with even though I'm not allowed to talk about it, and I have a lot of hands on experience from extracurriculars. So in light of all that, what might be the best way proceed short of dumping more time into graduate school?

>how did roasties sabotage DBF?
They appointed themselves as leaders of the project and literally shouted down anyone who disagreed with them, then they lost interest half way through so we were left without a functioning airplane. I made it a really nice tail though.
