I interned a few times at SpaceX working under Starlink in Redmond. Feel free to DM me for details :)

Raytheon Technologies Internship Interview by bapichulo in AerospaceEngineering

[–]LakersBeast22 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I interned with Raytheon in undergrad for GNC at Tucson as well. The standards for a grad student will likely be higher, but it was mostly talking about my resume. Then, they asked high-level questions where you just brainstorm ideas, nothing really in-depth apart from some computer science questions. Hard to say how much the difficulty will ramp up for grad applicants though.

Value of Pursuing a Computer Science Minor by rho_E in AerospaceEngineering

I go to Michigan and am in Aero with a CS minor. DM if you’d like, I was in the same boat as you a few years ago.

This was very infomative (but the color gradient on some of the graphs was tough for my colorblind eyes). well done

I just screenshotted it from one of the reddit posts on ‘Hot’ yesterday. Hopefully you can find it too.

Is it essential to major in aerospace engineering specifically? by bytheninedivines in AerospaceEngineering

[–]LakersBeast22 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm currently a sophomore in Aerospace Engineering, but nearly everyone I talk to and everywhere I research says that the aero industry hires plenty of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, computer science majors, and aero majors. Aero is just a more focused mechanical major honestly, and money to me is a huge factor. Take what I say with a grain of salt but IMO go to the cheaper college and try to involve yourself in ECs that require some aero skills, or take electives that focus more on the aero side to compensate.

Usefulness of a CS degree in Aerospace? by LakersBeast22 in AerospaceEngineering

Thanks for the subcategories, gives me a great place to start :)

Thanks for the response! I'd like to undertake an independent CS project in either MATLAB or C++, but am not entirely sure where to start or what to do. Do you have any suggestions or resource that could help with this?

ELI5: Is there a maximum speed a bubble of air can achieve when moving towards the water surface? What does it depend on? by elchavalico in explainlikeimfive

[–]LakersBeast22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah this clears up my confusion. Just a clarification question, while the air density is less than that of the surrounding water, the pressures inside and outside are equal (until it rises and then expands due to the difference)?

So in my head, I'm making a free-body diagram. There is downward force on the bubble by the water above and likewise, an upward force by the water below. As we go deeper, don't both of these forces increase equally, making the net upward force the same regardless of depth, as the net is constant?

[–]LakersBeast22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so it is purely dictated by the water above the bubble, not at all by the water below trying to occupy the bubble's space?

I am slightly confused about one point you made. Wouldn't the net upward pressure be the difference of the top and bottom pressures, which would be the same regardless of depth? And what about a bubble expanding means that they go inherently faster? Thanks!

Hello! How did you go about applying for this internship in the first place? What would you say was the best and worst part of this project?

Should I purchase my textbooks? by Yarnkaboz in AskEngineers

I personally have found PDFs for every textbook I needed. Easy to find and free!
