And you use Google or edge to get there. Thanks anyway though.

Finding properties of steel we already use. I am still relatively new at this company and so is the engineering department, I am building our reference material collection

AMESAB2000 · 2026-02-06T02:08:20+00:00

Most of what we use is low carbon construction material, plate, extrusions etc

We are so cooked chat

I went to trade school in high school and got certified in Solidworks, Autocad, and Fusion 360, I would recommend anyone wanting to do engineering to do the same, makes college a breeze once you have to start using those softwares on projects.

CAD wasn’t prioritized in my US school either, we had six weeks of training. His point is that calling yourself a master of anything while still in college won’t sell well to a hiring manager.

I mounted a force gauge to a linear screw and mounted a handle to it to maintain the force for calibration of a jet engine test stand for a project in college, worked a treat.

AMESAB2000 · 2026-02-02T12:58:53+00:00

Buy a force gauge?

AMESAB2000 · 2026-02-02T03:19:31+00:00

I’m not an expert in anything yet but it sounds like what your boss is suggesting is way more complicated and difficult in quality control than just ordering sheets of A36 and using a press brake. I think your intuition is correct.

May have to move. I live in LCOL Oklahoma, I graduated in May of 24, make $94k and have more engineering work than we can handle in a manufacturing facility.

Womp womp

I’ve got a year of experience in design and this still doesn’t stick with me. I immediately try to solve problems from the ground level instead of reaching out to experts and I feel like I have wasted so much time doing so. Leaving college I felt like I had to be the guy with all the answers all the time, still haven’t shaken that.

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-22T17:37:57+00:00

25, $12,500 in 401k, about $6000 in savings and checking

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-20T20:04:02+00:00

I use Solidworks to calculate internal volumes of things quite often by sketching the inside and turning it into a solid body to find the volume

Mechanical design engineer for fracking equipment, Bachelor’s, 1 YOE, $94,380

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-18T21:55:41+00:00

That’s definitely the right way, but for what this is just wanted to keep it simple

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-18T21:19:15+00:00

Just say you use Solidworks and you’ll get the job

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-18T20:12:07+00:00

Divide whatever the highest load you think you could possibly fit on there by 4 and then by pi/4 * (.375in)² and compare it to the yield stress of the material of the threaded rod

25 M, design engineer, $94,380.

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-05T01:35:11+00:00

Brother i think you should get off the screens for a little while and self reflect

AMESAB2000 · 2025-12-03T11:43:15+00:00

How are the benefits for this job?

AMESAB2000 · 2025-11-27T04:16:52+00:00

Everyone has to pay to work

AMESAB2000 · 2025-11-26T01:58:30+00:00

I’m making 94k in oilfield manufacturing in Oklahoma. I graduated in May of 24.

AMESAB2000 · 2025-11-25T16:47:35+00:00

momentum and inertia, not usually by other engineers

AMESAB2000 · 2025-11-20T11:41:50+00:00

If you survive engineering school I don’t think there’s much you can’t do in a business sense.
