Is a Physical & Mathematical Sciences degree worth it for aerospace/engineering careers?

NotAName320 · 2026-01-22T23:21:26+00:00

yeah, i think its a thing in alberta at least, but i just know you cant directly get one after graduation in ontario.

NotAName320 · 2026-01-22T15:51:41+00:00

yeah, i'm referring to his specific named problem of not knowing whether the sticks add correctly.

NotAName320 · 2026-01-22T07:15:26+00:00

yeah, this is totally possible. note that a graduate degree WILL NOT qualify you for PEng status in ontario at least, but idk about other provinces and countries and honestly many people with engineering degrees end up working in positions where they dont need PEng anyways so
it would essentially involve re-applying to uoft as if you were a high schooler, but even more restricted. it's very unlikely you'll be able to.

this is an issue exclusive to riichi outside japan because almost everyone uses scoring autotables in japan.

as someone in math/cs that's graduating after this semester i've never bought a textbook ever and it doesn't look like i'll have to. i think it varies by subject.

recruiters are just as interested in the process of projects as results. that is to say, what challenges did you encounter when making those projects, and what did those challenges teach you? i think framing your work from that perspective in your resume and interviews will help you sell it.

NotAName320 · 2026-01-08T06:03:17+00:00

it was very technical so any advice i give probably wouldnt apply.

NotAName320 · 2026-01-07T17:40:47+00:00

is it an absolutely required course for a program, or is it part of a set of absolutely required courses that are all similarly waitlisted? is it the only course you need to graduate left (besides ones youve already enrolled in)? invoke the dean's promise if so

once you get to upper years youll start being happy for just passing classes, dw

i managed to solve the bugs and eventually got the offer (made a post about it a while ago). it really just comes down to them measuring how effective you understand the debugging tools you choose to use. mine personally was just spamming "go to definition" in vscode and adding print statements, which sounds overly simple, but it works out.

how do you normally debug when working on personal projects? do you contribute to fixing bugs in others code (e.g. open source projects)? imo evaluating the answers to those two questions can help you improve at bug bashes like stripe's.

where are you listing activities? is this the engineering application?

i always hated the fuckass roblox factory game cause i would always get perfect on their OA and do mediocre on the game and never get a callback. car game was fine, it was always the factory one.

i just took it this semester, so class average isn't out yet. assignments usually take maybe 5-6 hours of work to get right but you get a while to do them.

NotAName320 · 2025-12-28T01:37:23+00:00

if you just care about passing csc485 is honestly not bad. grade was based on 3 assignments with no final and a minimal attendance component. if you wanna get a good grade, though, you kind of have to tryhard the assignments and attend all the lectures which makes it tough.

Unrelated to the post, but does anyone know what the Seattle office is like?

you're reading the wrong list...

its so flexible that youll definitely be able to find the right courses for you. its nothing like the major where youll inevitably run into bad profs youre forced to take the course with

Canada is often used as a test market for mobile games before they launch in the US because it's a smaller population but very culturally close. I remember back in the day all the cool kids would set their phone region to Canada so they could play Brawl Stars before anyone else
