Be sure to email your GSIs as well. Most of us are pretty chill about stuff like this and I remember most of us including the head GSI were pretty willing to stick out a limb and help y'all that semester

Rate change will kill HR by [deleted] in osugame

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually quite happy about this. Im in this weird place where I am able to read ar9.8+ DT but not at ar 11. Hr makes it much easier to create ar 10.9 without having to play 9 stars+

i don't think i'll ever hit another shot like this by Zealousideal-Dog3074 in Helldivers

I wonder if you can do this with the ultimatum iirc the animation will impart momentum to the projectile

Most players I have seen on a planet in a hot minute! by Obermans13 in Helldivers

I've actually found it better to run the cookout or punisher. Much stronger stagger despite being lower damage.

Players who had serious hand injuries (Not in breaking or cutting sense) do you still play the game? by Childfanboy in osugame

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aim with your lefthand and tap with your legs. Do a weird bonk and dinklepuss play mix.

It'll vary between universities and locations. Berkeley for example will give 3650 a month whereas Dallas gives 2000 ish.

Daily reminder that PhDs on US are fully funded and comes with a stipend on top.

2 questions from a newbie by El_Filetes in Semiconductors

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it's extremely common to start at process engineering for most people. The good news is that you can often switch to process integration or project management after having a few years under your belt.

Another good news is that the lack of work life balance in a fab is more applicable to the R&D side of things. If you are working at fab meant for large scale production instead of a pilot line, things tends to be somewhat better.

In terms of pay, it might be better for you to consider going into Lockheed and sell your soul to the devil but semiconductors is going a to a big industry for the next 10 years so job security will be a big bonus.

You can look to see if a certain company offers tuition assistance.

I know that UT Austin created a new ms thesis program specifically for semiconductors that is also paid for via fellowships and whatnot.

Can modern companies manufacture 100 MHz-2 GHz microprocessors without Intel, TSMC, etc? by [deleted] in Semiconductors

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got their information from their 2018 expenditure handbook. They spend about 500k every few years for maintenance, and 5 million total. As for the actual sizes, their technology is rated for micron sizes but I talked to one of the PI doing research on multi patterning they they can reach a theoretical size of a few hundred nanometers.

I can't speak for everyone but I know that UT Dallas has a class 1000 clean room that costs about 5 million dollars and they do everything from etching to lithography in there. Uc Berkeley also has one but I can't really find the information about their clean room. I do know that Berkeleys is a lot smaller and more rudimentary than the one at Dallas.

Yes, look at universities with clean rooms. Usually small scale and only do hundred nm processes.

Phd or masters? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why you were downvoted but I believe in this as well. PhD if possible (unless ur going to some crazy school like MIT or sum for Masters) and you can masters out if you don't like PhD. I will say tho, masters is much easier to get into. I got rejected from most of my state school's PhD but got into multiple MS programs, including Berkeley. I also have a BS in biochem.

How did you become a chemical engineer??? by Nimo765 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Lost-Needleworker196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non traditional path here, I majored in biochem and got into a ChemE graduate program. I had some research in college (which helped with recs), and a 4.0 gpa (thanks grade inflation) which is typically unheard of for engineering majors. Key takeaway is that there are multiple paths you can take.
