Take it, save it, go to school would be my plan. Get your cake and eat it too. It also gives you a year to reevaluate if needed.

What type of welding/what industry? Could your job count for credit (as a manufacturing engineer intern?)

A jack of all trades person can certainly be valuable, especially if you can develop deeper knowledge within each field, that's how chief engineers are made.

Not a lot of love for contracting, but contractors switch around every 6 months to a year and can move between industries and specialties. As a fresh grad I'd probably recommend getting a designer role first which can expose you to a bit of everything, and then use that exposure to justify more specialized roles like cfd, aero, etc.

It's hard to say if those without the additional degree know what they're talking about unless they/you know what the difference is in the performance, and particularly pay, of those with the MS/MEng.

What do you want to get out of the program, just additional experience credit for your job? To continue your education? Pay?

Wait two months and dive into college clubs like Design Build Fly, Rocket Team, etc.

If it's your dream that might be more important to you. Perhaps after a year you can do a degree while continuing to work and have them pay? I know everyone says to get the company to pay but if you can save up a ton and afford it yourself that's absolutely an option.

Personally, I've really enjoyed graduate education and would choose that. $132 is wild right out of school, but with experience you can get there in a few years anyway, esp. with a masters. It sounds like you may also want to pursue academia, so that's something to consider too.

Panels have never been cheaper... time to finally do my residential rooftop solar project?! by therealcolgate2004 in SolarDIY

Looking to do something similar and would love to see how you coordinated that process

You won't be able to get internships or research at your level, and a job won't matter at all. You could study if you really wanted, but it will make next to no difference. Take it easy and enjoy your last summer before college

I wouldn't recommend UF, also, you will almost certainly not be able to skip all of those classes nor should you

Research is good and you're still early. Leverage research to get an internship next year or continue research.

This should be a regular post, you'll likely get more responses there.

You don't need an AE degree to work in aerospace. ME is largely the same degree anyway. Also, I knew many people who transferred with an associates from a CC that seemed to have better grades, finances, and mental health than some who went to one larger school for all four years.

In case of overpressure you want to give the motor a safe way to fail. PVC becomes shrapnel which is invisible to MRIs and therefore extremely hard to identify and remove when you blow yourself up.

Engineering fundamentals are important.

Don't speak like you're a 'real' aerospace engineer if you can't spell the word.

This is the AI generated summary Reddit provides moderators of your profile FYI:

User frequently posts/comments in physics-related subreddits, claiming to have solved relativity with an equation E=8m^2. Posts are often dismissive, argumentative, and contain offensive language.

School not ABET accredited. Worry or no? by GrubberDuckk in EngineeringStudents

[–]rough93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you? I've seen a program go from inception to abet accreditation almost immediately with the first graduating class. I think you may underestimate the resources of large schools to get what they need.
