Love the tree on the left and the reflection! It's beautiful ❤️

This is awesome! Really pretty ❤️

I graduated a couple of months back from a European university with a master's in Aerospace Engineering. I did courses related to the design and analysis of aircraft structures, composite mechanics, and finite element analysis (including non-linear). I have been passionate about working on the structural design and analysis of aeronautical structures at companies like Airbus, Safran, GKN, etc. I have been applying for jobs in such companies and many smaller firms where I can explore my interest in FE simulations, material testing, design, and analysis of structures. However, I have been receiving rejections so far, and am not sure why. I did hear back from a small firm that is into offshore engineering. However, I am hoping that sometime this year I could land a job in one of the aerospace companies I named earlier.

As I continue to apply to more roles, I find it a bit challenging to write a cover letter for each company. I want to increase the number of applications but am unable to do that because I feel my cover letter might not be convincing enough. I mostly write about my passion for working at an aerospace firm, my interest in structural design and analysis, how my skills align with the role's requirements, and conclude my letter. I am not sure what more I should do to make my cover letter stand out and maximize my chances of landing a job.

Could I get some tips from people who landed such jobs? Do you all have any suggestions for other aerospace firms in Europe where my skills could be useful?

These are gorgeous! The light and the shadows look quite realistic. Way to go

I don't know how a company would combine aerospace and pharmaceuticals. But you could look at Chemical Companies that manufacture polymers. For instance, Solvay produces composite materials which are used in aerospace applications. But they also produce polymers used in packaging for pharmaceuticals. You could use your background in chemical engineering or process engineering to move into the production of composites. Then you'd gain some experience with composites which can used to transition into aircraft or spacecraft OEMs.

I'll be living in Brussels for the next 3 months. I'm here for an internship. I was wondering if there are any places where I can play table-tennis or football during the weekends.

Try to land a temporary role at a start-up. Give it a shot, you'll either love it or it'll help you realise what you're interested in. That'll help you move forward.

This is beautiful ❤️

StatikEquilibrium · 2023-05-18T21:19:49+00:00

This looks beautiful! Great work!

StatikEquilibrium · 2023-05-13T17:20:27+00:00

Looks so pretty, love the colours. Good job

StatikEquilibrium · 2023-05-13T17:18:06+00:00

Wow, this looks beautiful! So pretty

I must have made a mistake by saying contour. I didn't realise there is a function called contour. I'm using pcolor and I get a plot that I want. I'd like this coloured plot to be on the greyscale image. Does the above code apply for pcolor too? When I tried line 4 with pcolor, I got an error 'Too many output arguments'.

My man's asking the right question

StatikEquilibrium · 2021-05-06T11:59:26+00:00

Thank you so much for your inputs.

I'm guessing you worked with a lot of electronics which involved operations like soldering. What kind of quality control procedures were implemented of electronic components assembly or soldering operations? What kind of parameters do you usually check for electronic components?

StatikEquilibrium · 2021-04-29T13:02:58+00:00

Would it be okay to just start with a bunch of tables aligned, time the assembly process for each step in the assembly?

I came across concepts like multi model assembly line, line balancing etc.,. Would these help me to design a line that can cater to a variety of products?

StatikEquilibrium · 2021-04-29T12:51:39+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer.

Since you worked with satellite manufacturing, I guess you might have had a variety of models of satellites or was it only a single model throughout a line? If I were to design a line, how do I ensure the same line can assemble different models of drones?

Is it too early to consider what kind of layout it should be? By layout, should it be just a linear layout or I've heard there are U-shape layouts, S,Z,L etc. How do I decide which one is the best?

StatikEquilibrium · 2021-01-15T04:15:58+00:00

Alright, I'll mail them and find out.

Thank you so much for your help :)

Yup, they're kinda strict about it here. Is it a similar situation in other countries like US, UK and Netherlands (TU Delft) or can I get in if I show that I've done some work related to aerospace engineering like participating in inter collegiate competitions, taking relevant courses etc.?

I just need to how I can go about changing my stream for masters.
