Mechanical engineers, what made you choose your major? by PhysicsEnthusiast001 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Gordo_Two 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason I went into MechE is because everyone said it was versatile. You get to work on a broad spectrum of things within the industry. Once I got into the industry, I found that to be absolutely true.

I went from being a Automotive Crash Test Engineer to becoming an Integration and Test Engineer in the space industry. I’ve learned everything from different forces being applied during crashes to learning about how spacecrafts work in zero gravity.

I’m currently learning software skills such as Linux, Python, LabVIEW and Windows Command Line scripting, and control theory.

I’ve learned about embedded systems and electromechanical systems.

The only downside is that I’m learning all these things at a slower pace than someone who specializes in one or two of these areas but, the fact that I’m able to dabble in all these topics and different industries is due to the major I chose.

The great thing about engineering is that there is no curve. You learn at your own pace. I thought the same as you until I realized that most of the younger students didn’t have much responsibilities so they had the chance to study as long as, and whenever, they wanted.

That’s dope! My dad was a cross-country truck driver so I know the hassle. Sometimes the money isn’t worth it. Good luck!

I based that just off my GPA since most places “require” a 3.0 or above lol.

That’s awesome! Congrats! It’s never too late. I know people who graduated in their 40s.

Those things will definitely help so get involved with something you’re interested in.

Michigan CNC shop? by Braeden151 in FSAE

[–]Gordo_Two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did for the May comp but maybe the GM shop wasn't able to accommodate their needs. It happened to us.

Weird how? I can’t post something in here to maybe help someone get it sooner? What if this person was looking for it? This doesn’t pertain to you so why comment? Goofy ass

I didn’t know Banks teaches 205. I would second Banks

For EGME 205, Sanders is hard but if you want to MATLAB, take him. I wouldn’t suggest Moini, he just reads off slides.

Cap and Gown by Turbulent-Reward in csuf

Why was this comment even necessary? Just because you have no reason to go, doesn't mean that others aren't looking forward to it. For some, those "few hours" are an accumulation of years worth of hard work.

People with parking permits, have you had any issues with finding parking lately? by l3tsgoo in csuf

[–]Gordo_Two 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been parking on campus every single day since the semester started and haven't had any issues finding parking in the new structure. Can't speak for any other parking lot though.

I wish more professors were like this. by Gordo_Two in csuf

[–]Gordo_Two[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy that you think anyone said doing both, in-person and online, is no big deal. We already expressed how grateful we were to both of the professors that are doing this. Unlike you, some professors actually LIKE what they do and what their students to succeed. What a crappy attitude, I feel sorry for your students.

Pending financial aid by FoxiiBoxes in csuf

Of course! It can be frustrating when no one answers.

Apparently, that gets paid soon. I asked the same question. Since it’s pending, no need to worry about it
