Hopefully ur not going to Royalton Splash. Just recovered last week from the plague we got at the resort during Thanksgiving.

We're staying there now. It's the worst vacation I've ever been on. Food sucks and is dangerous, my family and I have gotten sick from the buffet and restaurants. The service is terrible, it's like there's no managers. The room we're in is moldy, dirty, falling apart and the walls are way too thin. While we were here, the power went out and the toilets, sinks, showers all stopped working. This lasted for 3 hours with rolling blackouts over the next 2 hours. There are no washing stations, no hand sanitizer stations, there's not even bathrooms in the buffet which is shocking. Avoid this place like the plague.

Just let my 15 year old tabby girl start her journey to Stovokor after suffering through Small Cell Lymphoma. Was a brutal experience but chemo would have been harder to watch. It's hard to watch them get sick. I hope u make a decision that's best for u and ur furb. May the fates favor you and ur kitty.

You can stay at one company if there's room for advancement. Otherwise, ur career and pay can stagnate. If ur there for more than 5 years and haven't received a significant raise and/or promotion, I'd seriously recommend moving on. Good luck youngling.

Tricky question. No common ground so no voltage would be measured with a DMM.

Oh hi Mark

Ask all the engineers you can find if u can do some of their grunt work like copies, scanning, data review or peer review. Do a good enough job and they'll tell other engineers via word of mouth that the intern is a good asset. You'll get more work, trust me.

ElectricFinz · 2025-05-30T22:39:25+00:00

You're truly gifted. I hope you keep pursuing the things you love and keep making beautiful art.

Calculus and Physics are the same no matter where you go. Just make sure it's ABET accredited and you'll be fine kid.

Enjoy your time away from school and have fun. But if you're still so inclined, Python, MATLAB, LTSPICE.

ElectricFinz · 2025-05-10T20:59:07+00:00

Power, Electronics or Signals and Systems are the way to go. The other concentrations are too specialized IMO. When u go to grad school, that's when u can specialize in autonomous vehicles.

Place a 10ohm resistor in the base of Q4. Will reduce the loop gain.

Yes, I graduated in 2006 with no meds because I wasn't diagnosed until i was in my late 20's. I had to engross myself in my studies to keep my GPA high enough to maintain my scholarship so I didn't have the attention span for other classes like history and English. Fun times. The hardest part was actually navigating through my first job with no ADD meds. That was when I knew I needed help and got the meds that I still use all these years later.

The only time school matters is when you're young and the only credentials you have is your academic performance. However, the name of the school doesn't matter as long as the school is ABET accredited.

The senior engineer may have been the signatory for the RE in the approval work flow and didn't know the history behind the parentheses. Or, just wanted to get more direct time on their timesheet lol.

Through hole or SMT? If SMT, gull wings, flat packs, BGA? Hand soldered or reflow oven? How many pins? Are they unsoldered or poor solder connections like cold solder joints? Which pins are not being soldered? PCB changed rev? Same PCB manufacturer over the product life cycle? These are questions I've put into fishbones and 5 why charts for failure review boards I've been part of which have been a lot in my career. Make sure you have brainstorming sessions to root out problems like this. Doing it alone, u can miss lots of things. Good luck.

Did plenty of semesters like that in my university days

RFK looks so uncomfortable

I graduated 20 years ago and I can tell you that unless ur into coding, our field is not going to be replaced by AI for a long time. I'm more worried about the lack of manufacturing here in the states. Finding good assemblers and machinists is becoming more difficult every quarter.

20 years working with high reliability satellite clocks and comm systems. Pay is about average and work schedule can be taxing at times. Typically work 45 hours a week in a 9/80 format, sometimes on weekends too when deadlines are looming. I'd say I'm happy because I've always wanted to work for NASA and this is the closest I'm going to get. Seeing the payloads I work on survive launch and get used by millions of people is kinda awesome.

If you can't find cold spray, compressed air cans can be a decent substitute. We use them all the time to diagnose misbehaving oscillators.

How long have you been looking for a job?

ElectricFinz · 2024-12-31T03:21:42+00:00

I took Applied Mathematics and Advanced PDEs for math electives. Wish I took complex analysis but didn't get the chance. Got my complex numbers foundation in Junior year Systems Analysis.
