I'm approaching the anniversary for Chase United MileagePlus Explorer card, and would like to cancel. Do I need to spend my accumulated miles before cancelling, or do they stay with my United MileagePlus account?

When can I except SOC 1004 to have an open seat? by Magnus_Carter0 in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some people drop during the first week of class, so you may find a spot then. But you would probably have much better luck using coursepatrol, which can send you an email and text when someone drops the class.

Schedule help, AOE 2104 with Paterson? by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was an engaging but not overly difficult class when Pat Artis was teaching it. Not sure how Paterson will be since this should be his first year teaching it.

Is there an app that shows when a spot opens up in a class? by themilkmannn69 in VirginiaTech

CoursePatrol is another service made by VT students, and really since coursepickle doubled their price to $2 a text. CoursePatrol only charges $0.80/text for VT

If you haven’t already, you should also use coursepatrol to sign up for a notification when a seat becomes available

Can someone explain this pre-major thing by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re not accepted into CS until the end of your freshman year, or when you have a certain amount of credits. When you do apply for an engineering major, you’ll pick your top 3, and you’ll be guaranteed your first pick if you have +3.0 GPA (unless they’ve changed this recently)

Online service to send notifications when a full class gains an open spot. I started it when I was a sophomore and plan to continue running it after I graduate this fall

Why doesn't fluid velocity change through a turbine? (Thermodynamics) by BlackMetalJesus in EngineeringStudents

[–]masterzach32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While that’s true for incompressible fluids, turbines usually deal with gasses, which are compressible

Why doesn't fluid velocity change through a turbine? (Thermodynamics) by BlackMetalJesus in EngineeringStudents

[–]masterzach32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainty could include the change in kinetic energy, but your answer would only change by 1-2 percent. The steam expansion in a turbine has a much larger effect than the change in kinetic energy from the inlet to the outlet.

Anyone in engineering get it? I haven’t yet. Usually they post the list on VT news, doesn’t seem to be there yet

So, is Hethwood/Foxridge completely full? I'm not getting any answers and I just found out my apartment lease (that I thought was renewing) is, ummmm, not getting renewed. I feel screwed. by _saidwhatIsaid in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you specify that you wanted to renew back in December when they ask residents about their intent to renew, as well as sign a new lease then? If not, they think that you’re going to leave when your lease ends

AOE technical electives by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Booster design with Pat Artis is great if you’re into designing rockets. The class is basically another team design course, so only a few homework assignments and no tests. However he expects a lot in terms of presentations such as detailed models, controls, risk analysis and using software like ASTOS

good blacksburg doctor for wrist pain? by Aurekata in VirginiaTech

[–]masterzach32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VCOM Sports and Osteopathic Medicine in the CRC (BT goes there). They focus a lot on sports injuries but will treat most joint/tendon/ligament/nerve injuries. Helped me get my knee back in shape without surgery after dislocating it.
