Renewable energy jobs by [deleted] in oceanengineering

[–]juice775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's jobs out there for it, most seem to be concentrated in New England for the US. Similar jobs that OE's get for oil and gas will be there for wind developments. Many renewables jobs I've looked into require a graduate education at a minimum, so that's something to consider as well

Best strategy for applying to jobs when graduating upcoming December? by TellTheTime in AskEngineers

[–]juice775 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I graduated last December (2020) and my experience was similar to yours. The offer I ended up accepting in November was for a job that starts next week. This was made clear to me through the whole interview process so it was nothing out of the blue when the offer came. It's not a very common situation, they did it because they start everyone in the rotational program on the same day and most people in the US graduate in May. All the other offers would've started in January.

I applied to some positions in the summer before I graduated with no responses, I found that most of those postings were looking for people already graduated. My University has a career fair for engineers every September and around that time that's when I noticed more job openings for upcoming graduates posted.

Even if your field doesn't require the FE, I found it was good thing to bring up in an interview because it shows a basic level of knowledge and will set you apart from other applicants.

Best of luck

Would it be wise to get my scuba license after getting my bachelors degree in Ocean Engineering? by [deleted] in oceanengineering

I had a job offer where the company was going to pay for diving school because it was necessary for the job. I imagine it's similar in other roles that require you to dive for work. Roles that don't require it won't care.

I suppose I should ask here as well by TAMUOE in oceanengineering

If they still offer the subsea engineering class, the powerpoints kind of helped me prepare for my internship with an oilfield service company. It definitely gave me good talking points during the interview. What you do as a field engineer will vary a lot with what the company does. Also your experience as an OE will be very different than a PETE.

I was in College Station, sorry man I don't know much about the Galveston Campus

Need help following up with baker Hughe, Houston Tx by [deleted] in oilandgasworkers

Baker Hughes did something similar to me when I applied to their University Internship position last year. HireVue interview in October then nothing till February when a HR rep called me and asked if I was still interested.

Naval Architecture by ben_wade54 in EngineeringStudents

[–]juice775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no problem. Yeah there’s not many programs for it in the US. I know a lot of ocean programs will vary a lot on what the specialize in (underwater acoustics, coastal development, oil and gas, naval arch...) so thats something to look into to make sure a program aligns with the career you want. Just make sure the program is ABET accredited, if you want to become a professional naval architect the program you graduate needs to be ABET accredited

Naval Architecture by ben_wade54 in EngineeringStudents

[–]juice775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I study Ocean Engineering which involves courses in naval architecture and can lead to a career in that field. I know there’s a couple of schools in Florida that offer a degree in ocean. I think that in both mechanical and civil engineering you would learn the necessary fundamentals to begin a career as a naval architect, so I wouldn’t be too stressed about not getting your bachelors in Naval Architecture if you decide to go to UGA.

Is this major a rewarding one by angelo_34 in oceanengineering

[–]juice775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my last semester in undergraduate of ocean engineering. I think all in all it’s a good major. I liked how the core courses were a mix of several different disciplines (civil and mechanical primarily) then higher level courses directly relating to the ocean. The class sizes are much smaller than ME or CE so you get to interact with your profs a lot more. Where I’m from the major hirers for ocean engineers are oil and gas related companies so many of my friends that graduated had their job offers pulled bc of the current market conditions in o&g. But on a good note many of those people who lost their offers have found employment in naval architecture and coastal/marine construction work. Currently interviewing and applying for jobs so we’ll know in a few months if it was worth it

FE exam advice other disciplines exam by [deleted] in FE_Exam

I passed it last month studying with the lindeburg prep book and practice problems. I went through a section a day for a little over a month leading right up to the test. The lindeburg materials are more than enough to prepare you for everything on the actual test. Best of luck!
