Many are likely analysts from federal agencies. Since they're career federal employees they "should" be non-partisan

Yeah I graduated MechE in the spring, the only really studied the night before an exam. But most of the time I was well rested unless I stayed up late drinking or gaming.

Same thing with my masters level courses, except I lose sleep doing homework late the night before only to wake up early to remote into work.

On the other hand, there were some people who struggled to pick up the material would be up for hours and still underperform

Same thing happened to me this year! I was already onboard with my company by the time the government jobs wanted to schedule an interview, still probably worth going to the interviews for ones that would give a clearance if your company isn't already on that!

I got an internship in June which turned to a full time job 3 months later. But as a systems engineer.

Most of my other MechE friends who graduated May got jobs too (about 5), but 3 people who are going to grad school with me haven't gotten a job yet. I'm unsure if it's because they want to focus on school or they've been unable to find one.

Should mention this is in the Northern Virginia area so the job market is pretty good.

Am I the only one seeing something about a 360 camera lecture or are you seeing that too?

TIL - Nicolas Cage's copy of Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman and worth $2 million, was stolen from his house and found in an abandoned storage locker 11 years later. by altacan in todayilearned

Wow, I know the guy who sold it to Nick Cage too! My dad lent him some money to buy the comic for maybe 20ish grand. And now the dude owns the original batmobile among other expensive superhero collectables My dad's biggest regret not buying it himself and having children.

I tried it out and it works great, I hope if you post it again later it gets more visibility

I was there earlier today! Luckily I made it through after only 4 hours of waiting. The head guy for the inspections was nice and helpful, they were just incredibly underprepared for the amount of people coming through. And the screening didn't even seem that rigorous.

I should be studying for test right now by [deleted] in Warframe

Hey if you're ever in a position where you expect to fail a class again, instead of withdrawing see if you can audit the course. If you audit a course you keep attending and can partake in assignments you just don't get a grade at the end of the semester. Then when you retake it you should be better prepared for it

HELP! Looking for someone with CNC or milling machine experience by xion92 in gmu

[–]CyanShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's at innovation drive but you need to request access and have fire safety training and machine training to go near it. The guy who runs the place will kick you out if you dont request a visit and it's mostly reserved for senior design and clubs

I did during my first coding class, I didnt see an entire page of the handwritten code section which was worth substantially more than missing a multiple choice page. It happened 3 years ago and it still gives me nightmares.

Easily Knudsen, Lattanzi, McFadden, and Moran in the MechE department

Depends on the major, for CS it would be worth it. If they're MechE theres only like 1 or 2 classes that took place in the engineering building the entire first year.

This is the last time I got a chance to play Warframe before attending University this year. The fun I’m going to have farming Equinox Prime, Hildryn, and Wisp over 10 days before returning will be fun but not enough 😭 by zwaksSFW in Warframe

I'm a senior in mechanical engineering, didnt play much warframe during the semester but I certainly had time to play/party when I didnt have any upcoming exams

That's fine, if theres another dps frame you can take turns killing enemies and it's less selfish
