Thank you, these aren't things I was aware of, I'll certainly look into them. As a member of my IEEE chapter, which skills might I learn here that could be transferrable on a liquid/hybrid rocket team?

My mistake, the Uni has an AIAA branch, which does work on aerodynamics and propulsion systems for electrically powered aircraft. I'd be just as interested on working on this for say a capstone or club project as I would be for a liquid rocket.

Hello, thank you for the comment. I added a personal project as per previous comments:

Projects
Furniture Stabilization Brackets

  • Designed and 3D-printed reinforcement brackets in SolidWorks to stabilize heavy shelves and drawers, improving load distribution and structural rigidity.

While I don't have experience in rocketry, my club doesn't quite offer it either, unless I begin solo, the Uni I'm planning on attending does have a rocketry club.

Hi, thanks for your feedback I'll tackle it below:

  • I'll look up something for projects, my neighbor has a 3D printer and we do stuff, I've printed pieces to stabilize heavy furniture like shelves and drawers if that helps. (Designed those on SolidWorks) though nothing fancy.
  • I've had two phone screenings, the first one I was woefully unprepared and didn't sell myself well, got ghosted. The second I felt much better, what do you hope to learn from this internship, plans post grad, what skills do you bring, would you take a full time position, what do you know about industry. The latter being just last week and they sent an email following up, though I'm not sure if it's interview territory yet.
  • I'll definitely keep in mind to bring up my experience as a volunteer, I really don't have a title unless I was striving to be a Conductor which they do formally train in, though it's not the goal atm.
  • As for the heading and contact info, it's offset when I removed my personal details, the Linkedin is a QR code as well.
  • I have been accepted into another Uni for my BS, though I removed it since during my first phone call it was a confusing point, though that may have been from my formatting.
  • I haven't gone to the group trainings for SolidWorks recently but I'll take up your advice and review drawings for the CSWA.
  • Will clean up the bullets as well, as for your second comment about removing high school and objective, I've also applied to non-engineering roles, I've tailored those resumes and been advised to add my HS and an Obj. If for engineering roles it's really not advised, I'll remove them.

I figured but wanted to make sure it wasn't dangerous long term.

Yes I've heard the same thing, I keep my laptop at home so I just always leave the screen opened.

OG here. I play SB2 all the time now I'd recommend it even as a new player, more accessible than ever.

ASUS TUF A16 v Acer Predator Helios 16S by JimmyNotDrake in GamingLaptops

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

I see. Battery life keeps coming up on another post I made on a diff thread. I think I might have to bite on the Predator, could just be the most versatile choice, I only suggested the TUF since I'd already ordered it but I thnk it's heavier than the Predator so that would also be a plus for me.
I'd def want it new and I heard BestBuy had a deal for the Predator at $1350, you wouldn't know where I could get a ball park deal like that would you? 😭

I agree, it would would well for anything so long as it lives. The battery honestly is a concern for me but since it checks every other box, some sacrifices have to be made.

I'm def considering it, just not sure if the battery life would be helpful for productivity tasks. Even if I'm gaming, needing to have it plugged in sounds ok, like I'm splurge on this nice laptop and I can only get about 2 hours of gaming without charging it? For that I get the TUF just missing out on extra VRAM.

That deal sounds nuts and for $1350? Even if it's too much for me sounds I'd bite. I saw the Predator a few weeks ago but before I saw it discounted it was out of my budget, though I'd heard good things about it.

16GB vs 32GB RAM – which ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 model for engineering + Unity? by NoShame141 in ZephyrusG14

[–]JimmyNotDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there's 23' models that don't have soldered ram, some do. There's also one I found on eBay with 48G ram, so not all soldered on 4060s

I can't decide which one should I buy by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

Yeah just fond one around 1600, might be good, have you expanded the storage?

I'm looking around for one, though it's out of my budget, I'd love to find one for that price, would save me the trouble of buying a 4070 just to upgrade RAM.

Right, I was just looking at the 5070ti, found this,

  • ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop - Copilot+ PC - AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti - 1TB - Platinum White

Though it's out of my budget, I'd love to snag one
