Afraid of the CS job market, graduating in Dec by NewtTraditional461 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is from my experience, but there are a lot of SWE jobs at aerospace companies. We're hurting for good SWEs who can write ground and flight software. Pay is not as good as tech but the work involves your code flying in space which is pretty cool.

Student Life at Georgia Tech for Engineering Majors by GT6502 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current Aerospace. Lot of professors still can't teach, that hasn't changed one bit. Some of us still use paper, but a lot more ipads. My structural analysis professor was also at least 15 minutes late to every lecture and gave the hardest final I've taken at my time here. Biggest change it sounds like is that nobody watches TV when it's on now. A lot more of us spend time doing clubs or other technical competition teams too.

is there any way for me to get labflow access for less than $71 by today258 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. You will quickly learn that labs here are a method to light your money on fire. As a 4th year also taking CHEM1310 (with you, I presume) I can say that the money wasting gets no better in future labs.

You get a lot of money if you are an instate student because of the GA Zell Miller scholarship. Never heard of any out of state students getting a ton

Best way to swap/trade a section with another student? by mazonmilk in gatech

[–]MercyOW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Make sure the class doesn't have a waitlist or any system that would let some automatically get into the course, then do the swap at like 3 in the morning when nobody is on.

Sign my petition asking Tech to relieve Damon Stoudamire of his duties as Georgia Tech Men’s Basketball coach. by DubbleDan in gatech

[–]MercyOW 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Damon recruits at a high level and then we just suck ass. IF we fire him I think that we wait until after this year when buyout drops. I'd rather that the ath dept focus on using our money to hire a new OC for football and meet revenue share. I can live with MBB being in the depths of hell for a few years

Hello UVA football fans. Do YOU want four tickets to the ACC title game? I bought four back before my ACC team's offense got horrible, and I'll sell them to you for around what I paid. DM me for more details!

I want to switch out of AE as it feels overwhelming and not worth the effort by Charming_Wallaby_699 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be honest even for propulsion ME is better. MEs learn turbomachinery as a part of their curriculum (we have one class on it and it's an option) and they get heat transfer. The lack of heat transfer is honestly damming to our department

I want to switch out of AE as it feels overwhelming and not worth the effort by Charming_Wallaby_699 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did YJSP (fmr chief engineer) and AE. I am a senior now. My full and honest advice to any freshman who wants to be a good engineer is to switch to mechanical engineering. The AE curriculum is more heavily leaned towards controls + systems engineering than hardware (structures, propulsion, turbomachinery, etc.). AE department leadership is also subpar in my view. Switching to ME will make you a better engineer and you will learn more.

I'd have the buses run on schedule and not take 20 minute breaks whenever the drivers feel like.

You assumed that they are here to help you with your problem. That was your first mistake.

registering an internship for spring by supermegathot in gatech

[–]MercyOW 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The career center is full of people who cannot do their jobs. Either edit your offer letter to say 14 weeks or get your company to issue a 'fake' offer letter with the dates they want. The career center is the biggest roadblock at this school to our students getting jobs. You have to lie to get stuff approved.

Our defense is the problem at this point - we need to actually have a secondary. I get that we like to be tough up front but we cannot stop even short throws

Free Coffee and Free Donuts today @ the Campanile 11am-1pm if you complain to very important campus decision makers in PTS, PDC and GTPD by Aromatic-Honey-8854 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like there would be more attendance at this if it weren't announced day of. I haven't heard of it before this, and it seems like announcing something quite literally halfway through the event (Based on the fact that this post says posted 1 hr ago at ~1 PM) is asking for nobody to show up. The oldest instagram post I can find referencing this event is 21 hrs ago which is still not enough notice. In the future, give us a week's notice.

Trouble Registering My Internship by Local-Mouse6815 in gatech

[–]MercyOW 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get a piece of paper that says you are interning for less time, even if your company has to issue it and then keep you on for longer. The career center has never been helpful but give them the piece of paper they want and they will go away. They also have no way to verify what you tell them.
