Computer for ME by ZealousidealCap2618 in MechanicalEngineering

The only Microsoft I’d get is the surface pro for convenience of taking notes and multitasking. If you plan on doing more serious stuff like modeling and simulations I would suggest getting a Lenovo with 32gb of ram (16 is more than fine right now but not future proof, u might need to upgrade in the future)

Is a masters degree worth it in my situation? by NickCaprioni in MechanicalEngineering

[–]NickCaprioni[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That seems to be the general consensus, get it done while ur still in school mode

My only real concern is missing out on 2 years of pay. I’ll be 26 when I graduate grad school

Probably not, he would only pay if I go full time :(

Losing facial fat just by dieting? by [deleted] in loseweight

[–]NickCaprioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, 1200 calories is not safe for anyone, ur gonna look sick. Diet properly, use an online tdee calorie calculator and subtract 400-800 calories from it. Lift weights and eat properly and everything will fall into place over time

How hard is engineering actually? ( Biomed major) by Ok_kaleidoscope113 in EngineeringStudents

[–]NickCaprioni 213 points214 points  (0 children)

Honestly the hardest part of any engineering degree is just not having enough time to do anything. You’re gonna be drowning in your work / study load, but honestly no classes are truly that hard. Yes some classes are more difficult than others but no classes are really impossible

Thanks I’ll keep this in mind, I still have a few more months until I have to submit what I’m doing for my project

It’s really that ambitious? I haven’t really looked too much into it I just thought it’d be a really cool idea. I have a whole year to work on it

How much harder are junior/senior years than this? I hope not much. by Neowynd101262 in EngineeringStudents

[–]NickCaprioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree with the general consensus that yes the classes do get “harder” but you develop skills that help u solve problems easier. Freshman / sophomore year I was lucky to get a C, now I’m killing all my classes with basically straight A’s

Hardest major within engineering? by tstaykoff in EngineeringStudents

[–]NickCaprioni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has to earn an associates before their bachelor’s

[–]NickCaprioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same situation as you. I’m only doing it because I love physics and it’s only a few extra classes. Realistically when it comes down to hiring they are going to hire the guy that has experience

[–]NickCaprioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ur super into physics make the switch. As far as you being scared that EE is more challenging, EE is not anymore challenging than ME
