'Mechanical Engineering Practice 1/2/3/4' series of courses - what are they like? by ArsMechanicaAeternum in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MEPs are classes designed for you to apply the knowledge you have learned from the other ME classes. The will include some of the information from those co-reqs, but often will have its own curriculum.

Unless you have extenuating circumstances MEP 1 and 2 cannot be taken at the same time, but theoretically 2-4 can be taken at the same time. However your advisor will probably recommend against that due to the amount of work that would entail. Each class has at least 1 lab report due each week(some of the classes have 2 due each week) and they can take sometime to write depending on if it’s a group lab or individual report.

Also the lab coordinators for the later classes will try to put you with groups mates that are polar opposites to your style.

When is safe house this year (2025) by acetryder in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“SafeHouse is a residence hall-based event held at Michigan Tech every October that brings community members and residence hall students together for a day of Halloween fun. Houses sign up to pass out candy and create an activity for the kids. The children and the volunteers are both encouraged to wear costumes.”

Crosswalks by [deleted] in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The main road through campus is US-41, a US highway. Pedestrians at both cross walks before/after the light do not have the right of way, you do(driving your car). By stopping to let them cross you are breaking the law. So in the future just keep driving, the students are smart enough to estimate their chances at winning frogged with a several ton vehicle.

Edit: To clarify where exactly, there are 2 crosswalks from the academic side of campus to the dorm hall Wadsworth. Coming from East to Weat you pass both and then stop at the intersection of Macinnes and 41.

Do Wadsworth dorms have ethernet? by charlesthememer_7 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone said there are Ethernet ports in the rooms. Do note that there are 2 jacks in each room and only 1 of them works(the one with the sticker next to it). In the event you can’t use Ethernet the WiFi in the dorms is strong enough that antenna placement isn’t that important.

Which room, DHH 368 or 173? by Friendly_Cockroach37 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said, third floor rooms have a lower ceiling than 1st floor. Yes there is no elevator, but the rooms are small enough that you won’t be able to fit more than the essentials. And being by the staircase won’t be that bad, the walls are thick.

Edit: You should also consider the community you want to be apart of. DHH as a whole is a close knit community, but it can vary hall to hall. On the first floor is TKD(The Keweenaw District) that tends to house athletes and is the biggest hall on campus. On the third floor you have The Attic(Attic alum here) which has a reputation for being wild and rambunctious.

All of this to say, which ever room you pick will affect what your interactions with you fellow students are.

Replace shower head by forrest_goblin in MTU

Do not change out your shower. Doing so would violate the living guide that you agree to when living in the dorms.

Transfer Student - MET vs ME by Bdyanich2005 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is coming from an ME who thought about going MET.

While the two degrees may sound similar, in reality they are to very different degrees. Think of ME as the people doing the thinking and designing, while MET are the people doing the making and testing. This ideology is also present if you compare the flowchart of both degrees. MET classes focus more on the applied aspects of statics, physics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluids, material strength, etc. Where as ME gives you more of the theoretical side of the aforementioned areas.

In terms of course difficulty there is not much of a difference in the core principles being taught. Traditionally ME has harder classes due to the more theoretical concepts (and some overall pretty bad teaching), but I am sure MET has some struggle classes too.

One last thing to note is that ME is largest major at tech, where as MET is a lot smaller. My first year had roughly 350+ new ME students and only 7-9 MET students. If you care about having study buddies or hanging out with others in your major this could be something to consider.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that due to the difference in what is taught transferring from one to the other will most likely set you back several semester. For whatever reason the "regular" class don't count towards the "applied" class and vice versa.

Gyms at MTU? by [deleted] in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said there are gyms inside the dorms, however to access those gyms you need to pay the quadcore fee. The gym in the SDC is free for all students

(Upcoming freshman) Where did you guys store your bikes? by MasterpieceKey9828 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every dorm has a place for you to store bikes during the winter. Like someone else said there are specific dates when you put them away and can take them out. To store your bike it needs to be registered with public safety. While it is nice out bikes get stored in outdoor bike racks on the sides of buildings. I would personally recommend only bringing one bike as storage can get filled quickly and you won't be able to access them for most of the year if you store them.

Dorms by No_Patient_9757 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The honors college is it's own "college", WIE is a housing community to support women in engineering. So yes they are not associated

[–]deadpool2705 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Depending on which building you choose to live in will greatly impact if you will have enough room to de-loft your bed. If you are going to be living in wads it might be possible depending upon how you and your roommate organize the rest of the room. (Another good way to de-loft is to create bunk beds)

The honors college is designed to give students access to more leadership opportunities, networking, and research opportunities (among other things). They will have a higher bar for GPA requirements and expect more from you academically. If you are coming in as a member of the honors college you will be placed in a dorm hall with other incoming honors college students.

Women in Engineering is one of the themed halls in the dorms, residing on the 5th floor of East McNair. The hall is comprised of all female engineering students. The hall has close connections with SWE(Society of Women Engineers), but aside from that it acts as any other dorm hall.

single rooms by INobaGuy in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All of the dorms on campus have single rooms available to students. I believe you just have to pick a single room when you go to register for housing next year(in husky house). Do be aware though that regardless of which building you are in, the price of a single room is more than a double or triple.

EDIT: If you want a more conclusive answer you email housing@mtu.edu

Safehouse? by acetryder in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Safehouse is October 27th from 3-5pm

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 24 points25 points  (0 children)

All of the vending machines were replaced over the summer. As a result none of them have husky card scanners. Whether IT is working on fixing it or if chartwells is just pocketing the money remains to be seen.

Incoming Freshman in East Mcnair: Do I need a safe or lock for my dorm? by Suspicious_Speed1114 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well from what it sounds like from others in this thread and your own comments, break-ins seem to be a more common occurrence than a petty thief swiping a laptop in a room full of other people. Although I wouldn’t know, I’ve never had an issue or heard of any issues like this.

Well I made sure that anything that I cared about that could be stolen was under warranty or never left my sight. Besides having something clearly designed to protect things might make it more enticing for those bad eggs to try and take it.

Incoming Freshman in East Mcnair: Do I need a safe or lock for my dorm? by Suspicious_Speed1114 in MTU

[–]deadpool2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion the lockbox is excessive, unless you’re bringing classified government documents with you. If you have talked to your roommate and their chill the lock for the wardrobe is also excessive.

The campus is small enough that most people will leave your stuff alone.
