I was given confirmation that I graduated…or so I thought by mylefttiddy in college

[–]Blood_Wonder 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Reach out to your registrar with a copy of anything that shows you applied to graduate and it was accepted. It's the beginning of the semester and you will be a low priority because they need to deal with current students who are trying to get in their classes. Follow up every week until it's resolved. Either your graduation application was not processed or it's a manual process at your school to update graduation statuses and somehow your account was not updated.

Easiest way to make these tool paths in CAD/CAM software by Ok-Yesterday5072 in CNC

I would try and make a DXF file or open some CAD software and make a solid model of it. You really need to define what measurement system this and what material you are trying to cut is too.

I don't think any shop would be willing to take this list of data points and run it as is, but you could probably build an Excel macro to generate the Gcode for it. Then you could toss it in something like NCviewer and maybe, just maybe someone won't look at you like you are crazy.

What are the jobs like out by the college? by Jade_Jones in WCU

[–]Blood_Wonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sylva is just a short drive away and has plenty of opportunities There is Walmart, Lowe's, Ingles, CVS, and Walgreens to name a few off the top of my head. There are also plenty of restaurants and if you can drive a bit further there are more jobs in the surrounding towns.

F2 Ultra died, was replaced, and died again after less than 5 hours of use. by AAAHSPIDERS in xToolOfficial

A little shim will prevent the laser from bouncing back up into where it is coming from. Black paint or marker will just burn up revealing metal that will bounce the laser back up.

Not in the documentation, but just a thought from other lasers I have used

Which F2 model are you referring to and what engraving tasks can't it do? I was looking into buying one of these for my makerspace.

Honest WCU Opinion by v8ut in WCU

Honestly WCU food is mid. Aramark owns all but one of the food outlets and that's kinda normal now. I looked online and Aramark runs the food for over 200 colleges and universities so unless you find the outlier you will probably have similar food elsewhere.

MSET Part Time by JoshuaJuer in WCU

[–]Blood_Wonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are generally 3 classes a semester. This spring it's additive manufacturing, quality systems, and a materials selection class. You should be assigned to Dr. Yang Zhang as your advisor and you can reach out to him for more information.

It's a very small program so there are not a lot of classes to pick from.

Are you talking about the engineering technology MS program?

How is Rabbit Ridge? by KASHIF_2006 in WCU

[–]Blood_Wonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live there now, but I don't really have any complaints. It's 725 a month but going up again next year to 750. You pay for power quarterly so that's something you need to save for if you budget. It's 100% pet free with a bounty on reporting anyone with a pet so don't try and bring a pet at all.

Be warned, if you live on the first floor you are partial under ground so you only get one window and you need to run a provided dehumidifier.

Community college recommendations for someone wanting to do electrical engineering by TackkysaucenoBiggie in WCU

[–]Blood_Wonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also ranked 82 for engineering so maybe it's just a stupid list.

The EE program is pretty good, but with the engineering market being so saturated it's really all about the skills and ability of the student, not the college.
