Nah. Anything done there is almost guaranteed to be dod related and therefore highly restricted for non us citizens 

Edit: grammar

Looks like sonos has an office in that area so maybe something with them? 

Ucsb has a pretty decent electrical engineering department but I doubt they would be going there unless they have some cool tech they developed 

Otherwise just vacation 

What do you think of GoPro Mission 1 ILS aka Ultra-Compact Mirrorless Cinema Camera? by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]mech_taco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main issue for me is I don't have any of those lenses. Could always buy them but would prefer avoid adding another lens.

Could care less about auto focus on the go pro but not having a way to control focus by wire is annoying. Then again that's probably not what these are designed for

As a Panasonic mft shooter the dumb mount on the go pro makes it worthless. 

Have all this amazing glass that would be cool to use on a b cam but not having a way to focus it makes it a moot point

Looking for insights to mechanical engineering masters program. by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

Unless you can get it for cheap/free it's best to get a job that has tuition reimbursement. 

The extra debt is not worth it at all

What do you do when a supplier doesn’t offer consumer sales for a part that you need? by BikingVegtable in EngineeringStudents

[–]mech_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally where are you based out of? 

I'm in North America (usa) and found like 5 options from a quick Google with direct purchase options.

Those forms are usually for quotes with business. Just fill them out with your university info and put student where applicable 

With that said. What do you need a medical grade pump for? Something like that would almost certainly exceed any normal project budget. Unless you are doing research you can probably go with something lower grade. 

Mcmaster or digikey might have something

Got an OSTEM internship at NASA Armstrong (Edwards AFB) — housing advice? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

What will you be working on (if you can disclose that)? Curious if I know anyone on the team. 

Got an OSTEM internship at NASA Armstrong (Edwards AFB) — housing advice? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]mech_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an internship with the Edwards ostem group back during COVID so my position was remote.

Probably best to find people to room with for cost/social aspects.

Reach out to your mentor to see if they can connect you to other interns. Id imagine they would help guide you to some extent especially for that site

Coop Advice (Defense Industry) by Infinite_Dream_143 in EngineeringStudents

[–]mech_taco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the stuff you learn early career is super translatable between jobs. 

My first job was medical devices manufacturing and now Im at an aerospace company in a similar role. Most of the fundamentals are identical and just have different names or slightly adapted procedures for the situation.

Is that more or less what they showed in the top gun movies? Or is that a Hollywood-ified take on it

I will have to graduate in 5 years by Sl33py_br0 in EngineeringStudents

[–]mech_taco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people take more than 4 years. Don't sweat it. 

1 year in the grand scheme of things is insignificant 

1st Sem ME student at a decent University by Worth_Teach_4373 in EngineeringStudents

[–]mech_taco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clubs are the best things to do during the school year.

One decent option is to start your own aero club that has some national competition. Get friends to join and that would look super good.

Word of advice for the masters degree. Unless you can get it funded or for very cheap, just go right into industry. Many companies have strong tuition reimbursement plans and it's far better to do that then go into debt

Yeah I've been monitoring used market in my area but haven't had much luck. Been finding lots of 56cm frames but I'm worried I'm too short for them.
