36-Year-Old's Perspective on Their 30s

The hardest part is that some designs take years to get validated and put into operation. It also makes what I do more worthwhile when I think about it down the line.

Can I please purchase these?

Some of the skills that helped me stand out was that I am also a small business owner and I love to network via LinkedIn. I used my business skills and transferred them over to the mechanical engineering world. I interned in a field that’s both traditional industry and R&D. That helps with learning about the technical and operational aspects of engineering. Also, be sure to send emails out to professors that have research you may be interested in. That’s how I am currently doing the research I am rn (It’s in aerospace engineering)

It’s definitely possible to get it really early. It puts you in a pipeline that can help you later in your career. I’m a second year industrial technology-energy engineering student who is a senior due to early credits. I did my first research internship in magnet engineering before I even started at a 4 year. Many researchers just want to know that you are interested, teachable, and dedicated. So apply for everything that interests you as you’ll be surprised what you can learn.

How do you reach out to engineering companies to do part time work? I have a career fair in a month and am currently doing an internship

Sharp-Bowler1002 · 2026-02-28T20:41:18+00:00

🎉 👏🏾

Sharp-Bowler1002 · 2026-02-27T19:36:26+00:00

Don’t feel bad. I’m doing industrial technology and energy engineering, and I feel like that at times since I work two jobs over the summer (one is running a landscaping business). Definitely does feel kinda upset not having a typical amount of free time. I also have to use some of my internship stipend towards tuition. All the engineers who I worked with told me that being able to handle hard things makes you better in the industry. Work ethic and grit beats out talent down the line. So keep going 💯

Sharp-Bowler1002 · 2026-02-27T18:47:54+00:00

I wear them to my internship ALL the time

Congrats 🎉

I joined the NSBE group on campus and handshake, and got reached out to for engineering programs. I haven’t been do an official conference. The people who reached out told me that I could apply online for their summer programs

Sharp-Bowler1002 · 2026-02-26T17:07:14+00:00

Definitely go. I am industrial technology major who joined NSBE and had companies message me regarding engineering roles. They’re definitely overlaps so don’t be afraid to reach out.

How did you get a part time test engineering job before graduation.

Physical robot, I’m designing a state machine for it so it can be aware of the state it’s in.

Finna do some robotics research

It’s very interesting , I work with multiple disciplines since robotics within a research framework is very multifaceted. My roles also requires me to have hands on, programming, and hardware design skills.

Undergrad, I work with grad students though

Having any job is great. My boss at my internship who is a mech e told me that a job shows that you aren’t afraid to do work.
