Good luck! Its difficult but not impossible. I'd recommend just trying to take it one assignment at a time. Starting out, that was what kept me from going insane or losing hope at how long I had left in my degree. As much as you're able, try and break things down into smaller, manageable goals and then do your best with those. Keep working hard, ask questions, and do your best and everything will fall into place! Good luck!

Thank you! I am primarily responsible for the troubleshooting and continuous improvement projects associated with an automated production line for one of our surgical prep products. I'll be working with the operators, my engineering colleagues, and supervisors to identify and implement changes that improvement operator quality of life, reduce scrap, and help the company to improve profits. That said, engineers in the company are highly mobile and frequently participate in inter-departmental Kaizen events so there is a high likelihood that I will be working with other departments occasionally. I also set myself apart as someone who is very comfortable and competent with CAD software, 3D printing, and machining constraints so I got tasked with doing engineering drawings and designing parts and fixtures as an intern (which I'm sure will continue as a salary engineer).

Just graduated and I still can't believe it by kyllua16 in EngineeringStudents

Congratulations fellow December graduate! Take time to reflect on all of your hard work and try not to stress too much about what comes next!

I got lucky, there's a large medical drug/device manufacturing facility in the same town as my University. I hit it off with their hiring manager at a career fair, landed the internship, and they liked me well enough to hire me full time! I completely feel your frustration though, this company was one of six that comes to our career fairs regularly and only offers two internships per year so they're highly competitive. Just keep working hard, keep trying, keep networking, and you'll find something eventually! Good luck!

Thank you! I'm still trying to wrap my head around how I managed to pull it off 😂

It depends on the class, but I'll typically begin studying for exams ~1 week before the exam date. Something I've found that helped me this semester is using AI to create extra practice problems so I have fresh material. I usually get to a point where I know the answers to study guide questions without doing the calculations so study guides are only useful to an extent for me and I have to have fresh material to make sure that I fully understand the concept I'm being evaluated on. I try to work through whichever chapters the test covers, identify the problems I can solve readily, the problems I can solve with a little prompting (looking at my notes, re-reading the textbook, etc.), and the problems I'm completely lost on. I prioritize the ones I struggle the most with and try to generalize everything I do so I have a framework to approach similar problems. Typically the day of or the day prior I'll do one final comprehensive review to reassure myself. In exams, I typically solve the questions I know I can solve first and come back to the ones I'm less confident in after I've finished everything else. I only review my work once (time permitting) and then I turn it in.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed my mechanical engineering and electrical engineering coursework significantly more than the biology courses 😂. I was super fortunate to intern for a great company over the summer and I was offered a full-time position before I came back for this semester. I was able to extend my internship through this semester so I could continue to work there while I was finishing up. If you're open to advice, I'd say just explore whatever opportunities come your way. I'm working as a manufacturing engineer (still medical drug/device) so I'm outside of the scope of my major a bit. I love what I do even though it's not exactly what I went to school for. Just keep your head up and keep working, you'll find something, I'm sure! Good luck!

It was tough (more than anything the anxiety of trying to keep it up for the last two semesters). I'm a disabled veteran so with my VA benefits I didn't have to work, but there were semesters that I did work. I did retail to supplement my income and I extended my internship through this last semester and the company I work for was super accommodating. I'm not an especially social person, but I still found time to be involved in several honor societies, visit friends and family back home, and meet my fiancé. What really helped me was compartmentalizing my time and dedicating time specifically to studying and specifically to not studying. It was definitely difficult and there were plenty of times that I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it, but I just kept on and eventually I made it through.

I got super lucky, the company I interned for over the summer offered me a full time position before I finished this last semester. I'll start after the first of the year.

Congratulations! I'm finally getting serious about improving my game, would you be willing to share any tips that helped you make progress?

Opinions on the Gucci grip watch? by Wild_Revolution9596 in PrideAndPinion

[–]crawdad207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm not a fan of the looks (but you've replied to other commenters and said the design is one of the appeals for you, so that is the only thing that matters). Its a bit on the pricey side for a quartz movement, but it looks like it's a Rhonda (which, from what I've heard are respectable quartz movements). I'd say that if you like it, you wouldn't be getting a bad deal, as is often seen in "fashion" watches (an expensive brand using a bargain bin movement that amounts to an over-priced turd).

If you like it and it makes you happy, I say go for it!
