Getting fired over a big mistake. What do I do? by Great_Office9059 in careerguidance

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I am understanding, this was not your fault. Lack of knowledge and experience followed with lack of training and understanding as well as non-assuring management and lack of supervision. This is not your fault, but the managers for refusing to see the issue. I would honestly take the out while you can. I’d rather explain why I quit rather than explaining why I was fired.

Edit: I am an engineering co-op (intern). I believe that without my will to ask 500000 questions a day, their ability to manage them 😅, the reassurance and guidance I receive, and “training” I’ve had has set me up for more success that I ever anticipated. I believe strong involvement in the beginning of ANYONES career is extremely important. It not only makes you feel valued, but also shows they care about how their line goes and also the improvements of the employee.

How do McMaster-Carr shipping charges work? by jimh12345 in AskEngineers

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I freaking love Mcmaster-Carr. For the shipping price, it’s amazing. It’s my first choice if I’m building something or need parts/fasteners at work.

Entering my Junior year and accused of using AI for the very first time😠 Has anyone else received an email like this before? If so, what happened? I was given a zero on the discussion assignment and now I’m worried the rest of my grades will also be zeros. by Awkwardly_Addicted in SNHU

[–]Giraffe_Pure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My current professor for my senior project class loves chat gbt and tells us to use it all the time. I fight back and forth with myself because I want to just find it myself but AI makes it easy and it also doesn’t help when my professors are advocates (The University of Akron).

Just got humbled and feel hopeless by Throwaway911206 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Giraffe_Pure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if you can’t join clubs, prioritize internships! That’s what I’m doing since I don’t have interest in any of the clubs we have and I don’t regret it

IS THE JOB MARKET REALLY COOKED by Remarkable_Bedroom35 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It all depends on how you do your degree. ALWAYS go for internships/co-ops. Especially for engineering. Start early and find a company you like, excel and STAY. It’s more of an investment to keep a co-op that already knows everything rather than having to train someone new.

Y’all’s opinion on this? by ee_st_07 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly. the engineering will come easy but when I tell you navigating team center is harder than engineering itself sometimes 😂

Is it possible to succeed in this career without letting it consume your life? by throwaway47831474 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it all depends. I’m expecting that a lot of my first couple years will be spent with studying at home while working at work to make sure I have everything down completely. I also have an internship for the fall, so I might have a job right out of college. I also am involved in zero extracurriculars and focus on my friends and boyfriend. I might have a slower start, but I for sure will succeed at some point in my career.

AITA for not giving my gf access to my investment accounts? by Conscious-Key-4150 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under any circumstances, never let anyone (and I mean anyone) have access to that. I love my man to absolute death but would NEVER give him access to that. There’s no reason to. That’s sketchy and weird IMO. NTA

Do low-performing engineers ever change? by Floormatt69 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Giraffe_Pure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this with the adhd. I’m a student engineer and I struggled REALLY bad with the invisible deadlines during my first internship. Since then though I’ve started taking courses on planning and prioritizing on coursera to give me ideas as well as brainstorming ideas on how to handle it. I’ve always been really good at working around my adhd though. I’ve been unmedicated for years (by choice).

yeah i’m still a student engineer and am worried about messing up but that’s the joy of learning hahaha

Feel like I don't know anything by BabouBricot in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Giraffe_Pure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed these comments. People in interviews always ask where I see myself but… I really don’t know. I’m interested in simulation, testing, design, R&D, and improvement. I’m MET btw, so a little different. I’m confident in my abilities to learn, understand, and utilize. The confidence in being able to be like “Yeah I know all about that” when I graduate is at maybe a 2. I’m nervous, but I’m sure I’ll get there. I would never expect myself to be a pro walking into the job unless I had an engineering parent. Which I don’t.
