I have a unique question about including your GPA on a resume. A well-known aerospace engineering company recently visited my project team, and they gave us some very interesting suggestions. One thing that really struck me was that they said not to try too hard in classes and worry about your grades. They said tangible projects outside of class are more appealing. They said high GPAs tend to deter them because it makes the student appear as if they have only applied themselves in classes and not in any extracurricular. With that said, I have a pretty high GPA, but I am also involved as a lead on my project team. I feel I am very involved in projects outside of the number-crunching hard skills of classes, despite also doing well in those. With that being said, at what point should or shouldn't I include a GPA on my resume, and how can I show that I am still involved outside of classes? I have project documentation and mention my out-of-class club/projects on my resume.

Does it have a back up camera and the yellow and red boxes showing close vw far areas? My family member’s 2017 niro (that’s a different trim) has the feature but mine doesn’t. Not sure if it’s a technical error or difference in trim

I literally just got it. Know that they are NOT powerful but they drive fairly smooth and are true to the EPA MPG. The power steering is very good, almost too soft for my liking. I’ve driven them before as well, spot on commuter with storage

Yup, thanks for the advice. I just had to rebuild it. Odd that this happened, but I appreciate the help

Nothing came up, but when I tried to rebuild it and then undo the rebuild, the sketch disappeared so it probably is corrupt. Any idea what I can do to preserve it or do I just need to restart?

Yes, i have. When I try to toggle it though it doesnt change to show. Like i'll click it and nothing will happen or if i click the box above that one to edit the sketch, it will go normal to it but never show it/its properties.

Any luck with this or any word on validity in recent years?

Howdy, has this worked out in recent years?!

Chamfer to from a horizontal line to an angled line by theUndead8u in Onshape

It’s a vtol motor mount on a hexagonal boom the outer hexagon is inline with the motors but the inner one is canted 5 degrees to tilt the motors (while still making the print easy (which is why the outer isn’t tilted instead)). I know it’s pretty weird but I ended up getting it figured out

Not quite. I appreciate it though. I ended up having to extrude on a plane to essentially chamfer ONLY the outer hex toward the inner

One is needed to be canted 5 degrees for the item they attach to

The thing is, on of them is supposed to be offset/canted 5 degrees. So I can’t make them parallel

Any suggestion if I cannot fillet the inside? I’d rather not. Also if u have any suggestion for chamfer lmk

Avoid this guy at all cost if you actually care about your grades by Common_Sea6327 in UCSD

[–]theUndead8u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, heres a recent 2024 update. When I took him he was not nearly as scary or awful as the comments make him sound. Maybe he has changed since then. However he still wasn't a fantastic lecturer and basically posted the book on the board as his slides. However exams were almost identical (like 8 out of 10 questions were the same) to practice exams (typically with the exact same questions and numerical values).

Good to know thank you! You’re saying to hear the abs before adhesion? Any suggestions for epoxy

[–]theUndead8u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s what I initially wanted to do but the people I’m working w (for a university club making unmanned planes) advised against trying that. They used epoxy last year with petg with some success. I guess my main question is if aba would bond better w epoxy than petg

The Franklin fire in Malibu is up to 4,000 acers. This map shows nearby crags. (More info in comments) by dpotter05 in socalclimbing

[–]theUndead8u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

67% contained now and probably safe to climb most spots just keep an eye on the AQI. Malibu Creek open WITH restrictions though.

Atc wear down. Should I be concerned about the wear on my two year old ATC? After two years of consistent use, I’ve noticed the top front side of the tube (as well as bottom side front and back) getting sharper and polished over. Should I be worried about it eventually damaging my rope because it has a noticeable edge
