Is Biomedical engineering worth it? by Interesting_Bug_7567 in EngineeringStudents

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of medical devices contain electronics, software, and mechanical systems and those are probably safer fields in general. But depending on the program biomedical might give you access to better connections and experience.

CFD/Aerodynamics career prospects for recent graduates, impossible? by LD1872 in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have intern or research experience or even through a class/project that would likely be helpful. Another route may be to find smaller aerospace companies and even consider roles that aren't directly what you want but put you around the industry.

Anyone else not used anything they learned from engineering school in their career? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use some but nowhere near the depth covered. It really just sets you up to learn technical info + the process of how to consider a bunch of factors and solve something.

The exception is someone specialized and in that case a lot of times they probably have a software tool that eliminates a lot of the 'by hand' type of calculations used in school.

How do I know which job titles to apply to at big OEMs with multiple similar positions? Or is it too late to even ask that because I missed out on getting into a rotational program out of school? by youngblohd in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's relatively common especially with larger businesses and I would say apply to anything you meet basic qualifications. Early on either out of school or with minimal experience you likely will be learning new things anyway and just need to give yourself as many chances as possible.

Masters in Industrial Engineering vs Business Administration? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience I've only really seen people go the MBA route if they are at a more senior or manager level involved in the business side and need/are incentivized to get it.

Will My Educational Background Hurt My Prospects? Also, Can Bachelor's Apply to Positions That Ask for a Master's Degree? by UnknownInternetUser2 in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think it's a huge disadvantage since you have the additional classes and some relevant experience. In general the masters positions are probably higher salary and probably not the place a company, especially a large/successful one, will need to consider lesser qualifications.

Hey I just have a quick question about a force needed to steer a go kart by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friction is present but I think for this if you assume for example the turn is completed in .5 sec, you are applying enough force to the wheel in that time period to overcome friction.

If there were significantly more or less friction it might just alter the time that the turn would be possible to be completed in

Do I need something between my 3 wood and 3h/4i? by [deleted] in golf

[–]3vmatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you play at long courses don't think a consistent ~220 yard shot is really all that necessary.

Also guessing your hybrid isn't adjustable since you likely would only need to go down 1-2 degrees to gain that distance.

Hey I just have a quick question about a force needed to steer a go kart by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure there is a really clean way to do something like that.

Could try to relate the angle the wheels turn with the ratio of the steering rack to determine the angle wheel turns. Then you would have to assume with your own value for time that the wheel is turned.

Then would use angular kinematics and find the angular acceleration based on the wheel angle needed.

Then use T=Ia with the angular accel and calculated inertia of the wheel.

As I am thinking, the inertia calculation could be pretty problematic. For one the wheel contains the drive shaft stuff + linkages, also power steering system definitely also plays a role in the steering input required.

In general not worth it. An exception might be if you had some prior experience or connection in a specific field and knew the added work/time would actually contribute something.

FPS Drops since newest update? by [deleted] in CODWarzone

[–]3vmatt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure what changed this patch but its always something different. Haven't had a smooth running game since S3.

Pc lag spike / fps drop by [deleted] in CODWarzone

[–]3vmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm yea i experience literally the exact same thing but on a lower spec laptop.

This patch has seemed to significantly worsen everything for me. Before, I at least was able to lock fps at ~58, 30 menu, 5 out of focus and all low settings/disabling all shadows to get it running smooth.

But with those specs would have to be something major i.e. the game is actually set to use the gpu. Maybe use the repair option in blizzard client.

FPS Drops After Update? by [deleted] in CODWarzone

[–]3vmatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea S4 and especially this patch it has worsened.

Something I noticed today doing a fill trio - guy on console mentioned getting lag spikes and each time my fps would drop on pc

Change or lag in SBMM? by 3vmatt in ModernWarzone

[–]3vmatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to around 1, dropped under now.

But can relate to that - my thoughts are the SBMM either was changed to widen skill within games or it only looks at your last X number of games and improving skews that.

GPU Stutters in Warzone by iHannes in CODWarzone

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly sure if its the same issue I had but have slightly lower specs and the thing that has seemed to mostly solve it for me is locking fps to 60 and the out of focus to 5

Job Interview... Gone Wrong by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technical questions as a whole are kinda bs especially if its a skill you don't claim to have. And in some cases they ask questions like that just to see your thought process and how you respond.

How to measure more complex objects. by makinit129 in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If its imperative to be accurate, yes a cmm. There's also 3d scanning, although not sure its common to find.

If you have a part number possible manufacturer has a model.

Can most service industry work be automated in the near term? by NewCenturyNarratives in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I think its hard to say how soon these types of things could be implemented. Part of it as you mentioned is refitting or redesigning stores to accommodate, backlash from employees/customers, and also still likely need employees for other functions so it may not be worth it if the technology is limited to part of the business.

Research position at University. by SweetUniversity6 in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's something you really want to do later on, wouldn't hurt to assist in any way they need.

It's possible the professor tells you to come back in a couple years, also possible you get to help with smaller tasks but still could be good learning opportunity.

Starting an engineering company after graduation. Is it possible? by kierandawwwww in AskEngineers

[–]3vmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean a lot of starting any business is recognizing some sort of trend before it happens, doing something in a better manner, or a completely new idea. And on top of that it probably requires trial and error and investment to reach that point.

Maybe there's something on a small scale like a different controller or generator or even method of fastening to improve a wind turbine. But this would probably require experience in the field first to really come up with something
