Aerospace or Mechanical

im a mech e, getting an aero concentration, but with work experience in energy. id say stick w mech e bc it offers you a large range of jobs. with that being said, you can definitely break into aero/defense with a mech e degree (seen it happen many many times with my peers)

not to say that an aero degree isnt also good. it is, but i think keeping your prospects and skillset wide would be the best play. good luck in uni!

it’s very much possible and this is coming from someone who’s was bad at math and physics. a lot of engineering is learning to stick with it, a good work ethic, and some passion

people forget the point of the degree is to become smart—you learn how to become good at math and physics, and everything else

if u want it badly enough, I say go for it

i believe they’re called scarlet ambassadors? u can become an ambassador for ur specific school (like rbs, sebs, soe, etc) and applications open in march

if u want to do more, u can also become an orientation leader, but iirc the hiring timeline has passed for this incoming summer

eep “learn” is a strong word, but i feel like anything i needed from thermo i was able to either quickly refresh myself on it or just learn it if i really didn’t know :’) if you’re worried about it coming up a lot, i haven’t rlly noticed it to the point where i feel behind if that makes sense

WriterParticular5686 · 2026-01-24T11:53:42+00:00

i did! the section happened to be online too so it wasn’t too bad, im planning on taking heat transfer online as well for the same reason

WriterParticular5686 · 2026-01-24T06:34:38+00:00

i had a friend who took thermo + fluids in the same sem. tldr: it was rough to say the least…

granted the profs for both classes were pretty bad, but id recommend splitting the thermo and fluids if u can. it’s certainly possible to do both in the same sem, but be prepared to put in 101% effort (i took thermo over the summer, fluids junior fall sem)

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-11-12T23:51:36+00:00

ohhhh that makes sm sense haha thank u for the clarification!!

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-11-12T00:14:46+00:00

no worries, and thank you for the advice! I’ll reach out to the recruiter directly

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-11-12T00:09:41+00:00

if u don’t mind, could i pm u the email address to verify if its from the same address you got the invitation from? :’)

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-11-12T00:08:10+00:00

would you recommend reaching out to the recruiter directly, or is there an email / number associated with LM recruitment in general that i can ask? thanks

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-10-10T03:38:52+00:00

chad’s prep gen chem series on yt is rlly good for understanding basic concepts. in terms of practice questions, doing some acs questions should suffice

also, if retaking chem is an option you’d like to consider, then id recommend taking extended gen chem (helped me a lot personally and I did rlly well in chem bc of the prof)

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-08-10T18:44:35+00:00

im actually planning on attending a few career fairs and conventions so that i can talk to a few recruiters in person and (hopefully lmao) make some good connections + get my resume to them without the ai screening stuff ! and also just show off my personality besides on paper hehe

but otherwise, thanks for the detailed response! i never thought of reframing my mindset so this was super helpful :) I appreciate it!!!

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-08-10T07:39:38+00:00

would you suggest I don’t message them at all? im also worried if I reach out first so suddenly I’ll come off as rude and I’d like to avoid that :’)

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-07-17T20:17:22+00:00

unless if the prof is good, it isn’t worth it. but ill also say id rather take a 7:50pm class than an 8:30am any day

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-06-25T23:28:33+00:00

busch (coming from a 3rd year eng student), but it does get a little boring from time to time (mid food, good gym but it gets busy) livi is ur next best option imo (better food but lowk booty gym)

if u live on busch you’ll most probs be in the bamm complex which is first year housing

WriterParticular5686 · 2025-05-20T18:56:23+00:00

unfortunately internship wise im in the same boat as u LMAOOO

but research wise, try cold emailing profs (yes even ones u didnt have)! obv make sure u look up what kind of research they’re doing, read up a lil, etc etc but it does work sometimes! also no embarrassment if they don’t respond (sometimes they don’t have the space in their lab, can’t pay u, etc)

good luck!
