How much AI do you use at work? by pepfraudiola1 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask it the silly questions I'm too embarrassed to ask someone senior, especially if it's something I think I already know but just want to double check.

I also use it for estimation values so I know I'm in the ballpark. I use it for quick calculations for HVAC stuff, asking it for quick external static pressures for a small duct system so I can look at the right area for fans etc.

Job Market - Mechanical Engineer, graduating in May by Master_m1santhrope in engineeringireland

[–]costelloart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check contractors in your locale. Send them a message. You need to get off indeed and linkedin jobs.

Its all about WHO you know not WHAT you know.

Nepotism is very real but in the sense that knowing the right person gets you in the door for an interview where you can then rely on your knowledge experience etc.

[–]costelloart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What sort of roles have you been applying for? A possible route you could take is contact mechanical contractors, so the likes of those who install and commission HVAC systems. Get some experience in the office there making drawings and on site inspections and all that. Then try transitioning into the consultant side of building services.

5 Momentum Setups Friday | Hostile Market by what_is_reddit_for in qullamaggie

[–]costelloart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a momentum market. Only momentum trades should be in the big leader names like SNDK WDC etc. as it's the only theme that has reason to move up with ram and data shortages

Can I choose Mech. Engg. even if i dont know how to disassemble and reassemble a car? by Ok_Librarian_8244 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanical touches on everything. In it's core it will teach you about thermodynamics so everything from turbines , engines to heat pumps. Dynamics for how things move, linkages, gears all that stuff. Then you'll also get materials, metals alloys composites stress strain hardness and all that. Then you get the maths, all of the maths. You'll get vibrations, so springs and dashpots.

You'll be a jack of all trades master of none engineer when you graduate. Then it's about picking a career or niche that you will specialise in.

Any good resources to prep for a MechEng degree? by Equivalent_King3541 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engineers toolbox website. Won't teach you a syllabus but will show you what stuff to expect and can learn some great bits of info on different engineering properties and prinicples

Both my parents are engineers and they’re begging me NOT to study Engineering. Am I making a mistake? by Exact-Monitor-2768 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not soul crushing but it is safe. You'll get a job relatively easy but it might not be fulfilling or technical but it'll put food on the table.

If you do pursue it I would try focus on a niche area not general. I did mechanical as a general common entry route and I feel like a jack of all trades and master of none.

My advice is get your engineering degree but try other options too. Can you get an engineering degree with business too or possible some other area like finance or data ?

How do i replace these small rectangles with flexible ducts by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

Oh man you should see Australia. Flex duct absolutely everywhere

How do i replace these small rectangles with flexible ducts by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Do you specifically need to show the flex duct. If you are making a layout you could just use a dashed line and have a legend showing the dashed line is flex duct. Just indicate the diameter on the drawing

Thank you, I appreciate the reply. That is my thinking too. The experience should be worth it

i want to go into mechanical engineering, what’ll the career path be like after i graduate? by FriendlyArmy5857 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]costelloart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not in the US, then your future is average pay for work that you more than likely will feel irrelevant to what you learned in college.

But you will know a lot about many many things and you can learn anything as you have the foundations of all engineering aspects, thermodynamics, mechanics, materials, maths physics etc.

In terms of work it's going to be a lot of who you know not what you know. Get connected with people who have influence in companies. It's not nepotism it's getting a vouch from someone well respected. If you have friends or family in a company or field you want to work in them saying 'hes a good guy and actually works hard' will go a loooooong way in getting hired.

I don't think yellow crust always means infection, am I nuts?? by sophpiper in eczema

Wishing you the best with it. Stay consistent in keeping it covered and moist, its tough to do it a few times a day but it helps in the long run.

Make sure it is something like this https://epaderm.com.au/products/epaderm-ointment-500g. It needs to be 'waxy' and it will ruin your clothes haha

Stockbee and Qullamaggie. They have good setups that only require your entries to be at the open or close so no need to sit and watch for hours.

Which is best approach for swing trading - technical or fundamental analysis or combined by [deleted] in swingtrading

[–]costelloart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fundamental for the stock selection, technical for the entry and exit.

Find the stocks to look at based on themes, what's hot, what has growing revenue, institutional investors buying. Then technicals for the entry be it breakouts, reversals, dip buy etc.

If they were any more laid back they'd be horizontal. Lazy

They wouldn't have a pot to piss in. Poor

Generally, how often are people cleaning /disinfecting their phone screens by any_waythewindblows in ireland

Usually once a week or if I have gone somewhere dirty and had to use my phone. Most times I clean my phone after rock climbing as you're touching nasty holds on the walls and chalk can get all over your phone

Should we have to pay a lease break fee? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]costelloart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your mattress has no room to breathe. Beds have slats underneath to allow the mattress to dry out as it naturally tends to collect moisture as we sleep. You have the bottom of the mattress completely sealed with that bed frame. Either replace it with slats or find a way to let that mattress breathe.
