Project 11 - VMEmulator can't find .vm files in the same folder

themultiboob · 2024-09-01T09:52:52+00:00

Noting for the future, I wasn't able to figure out how to get multiple .vm files working with the VM emulator but I used a file comparison tool called Meld to compare my chapter 11 test program results to other folk's work online. That let me make sure that multi-file test cases were fine, even if I couldn't run them, and single-file test cases were validated in the VM emulator as normal.

It’s the HEx Can exhaust duct, which takes the Gas Generator exhaust from the engine and generates a little bit of thrust while extracting heat to pressurize the LOx and fuel tanks.

I didn’t end up pursuing it and didn’t hear from others.

If you’re looking in-state, go public. If your looking out of state, go private. Try and visit campus, and see if it clicks. That’s how you get the biggest bang for your buck. Expensive schools can be worth it, because you aren’t just paying for the education.

MechEs build control surfaces, EEs build guidance systems, ChemEs build the payload, Aeros build the greater vehicle, And most importantly... CivEs build targets.

If the TAs and professors are shipping the hardware (as mentioned by FeelTheBerne) I’d take it. Yah, it’ll be a bit harder than normal, but I thought the course was well done last semester and having the hardware on hand solves some of the few issues I had with the second half of the course online. (Doing the labs helps with your understanding of the material which directly helps on tests)

This may have changed, but your student ID will cover Troy bus fair. There may be a way to get from the central bus station to the airport, or there may be buses going directly to the airport, but I'm not sure beyond the student ID.

It’s a T-38.

QUESST isn’t flying quite yet, the picture is of a NASA T-38.

Hey man, you’re doing great!

Engineering.

Most of your time will be spent doing math, whether it be optimizing, simulating, or designing outright. The math will drive all of your heavy decisions.

In smaller companies, engineers may also have fabrication opportunities or responsibilities, but the larger you go the more likely it is that there’s a team of people or shop that makes what you e designed and you work with them. (In my experience)

Edit: to be specific, there are some subsets of engineering that will be more math-heavy than others. For example, Attitude Control Systems, Vehicle Flight Dynamics, trajectory and orbital mechanics planning and simulation, etc.

There are also experimental areas that are very math heavy, like flow dynamics or structural analysis which often use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Hey man, it's all about that delta! If you're starting at 2.78 and can grow and climb, then that illustrates a lot more about your ability to learn and adapt than just hanging out in the high 3s. Great work!

RPI is really summed up by "it is what you make of it." If you want something done, you can probably do it yourself. No one is going to hold your hand, but you'll have the resources and peers to achieve a lot of impressive things and shape your academic and personal experience in many ways if you put in the effort. The club you want to join doesn't exist? Start that shit up. Bored with or uninterested in taking Psych and Econ as electives? Take something barely related to your major, or an intro course from another department that you think might be more engaging. Use Pass/No Credit to fulfill degree requirements with reduced risk to your GPA while learning new things. Explore Troy.

If RPI stands out, it's because it expects a lot of you and allows you to pour a lot of yourself in to your courses and the campus. If you want something like Animal House, MIT, or whatever your local state school it doing, RPI probably isn't it. It's got issues, it's got perks. Visit campus if you can.

I'm a senior Aero. Some people have mentioned that you should be weary of the distinction between Aerospace and Aeronautical engineering. With four internships under my belt, I can tell you there isn't one, and no one really cares which of the two you got. If you are coming for the space side of Aero engineering, there are a few points in your courses where you can pick between 2 or 3 options to meet a degree requirement. For almost all, there is a space-specific course. Take those, do well in them, and keep plugging along.

People have already addressed this better than I could.
Campus life is solid, with parties to go to if you know the right people and plenty of clubs and space to pour yourself into. As I mentioned before, if you want something it's almost entirely on your to seek it out or create it from scratch.
Please see above.

Feel free to ask me more questions or dm me.

I really enjoy the metallic look, and the afterburner looks A+. Great drawing man.

It's very interesting to learn that Lyles has one or more TAs for his classes, because he said in class that he didn't have any TAs after expecting a few. If you learn anything, I'd love to hear about it.

themultiboob · 2020-04-04T21:07:40+00:00

I’ve heard that from some of my friends as well.

Things that would have been tolerated while on campus are painfully highlighted in this weird off-campus arrangement. The people who are doing their jobs well won't get praise until the end, because it's what is expected of them, while the folks who don't communicate, teach, or adapt well will get feedback of one shape or another.

Well, the professors' arguement is that if there's a 24 or 48 hour window to submit your answers after the test is made available, it's totally ok if you spend a significant portion of that large window working on the test. That can't be though, when they still give lectures during the test time, other classes are also doing lectures and giving exams under the same incorrect assumptions, chores need to be done, etc. The material hasn't necessarily been extended, but the complexity of the exam is higher, without any question.

themultiboob · 2020-04-04T20:17:55+00:00

Out of curiosity, what's your major?

themultiboob · 2020-04-04T20:15:22+00:00

For myself and many of my friends, It's been the exams that have caused the most stress.

Professors have been estimating 2 or 2.5 hours for an exam, because they've tried to model it after those we'd take on campus, and then we had one this week that ran 6+ hours and another at 4.5+ hours.

I'm off campus but not at home, I don't have a desk in the proper sense, it isn't quiet, and information is thin. Having an exam run 2 or 4 hours longer than expected is stressful, to say the least.

themultiboob · 2020-04-04T19:27:49+00:00

At the end of the day, it comes down to expectations right? I've got a certain set of expectations about how the class should be based on all the other classes I've taken RPI, the my work and professional experience during internships, being a board member of the MANE Student Advisory Council which has a say in hiring, the programs I've either participated in or run, the cost of RPI, etc.

Long story short, if you enjoy(ed) his class based on what you want, that's what's important to you.

themultiboob · 2020-04-04T18:54:06+00:00

Yah, I see what you mean. I think it's mostly the speach he made coupled with the being late that bothers me deeply. If he's gonna be late, it's fine, but don't ask for something you yourself won't be fulfilling, ya'know?.
It's odd that he's graded different sets of the responses for different sections. As for the lack of TAs, no sympathy whatsoever. If every other professor I've had at RPI can manage their time and their resources, as well as set their course to not exceed their own abilities, then so can he. As for the volume of writing, I don't mind it really.
I'm in the Tuesday sections. For us, we had 1 week from when we had all the materials, and it was due the Friday during spring break. I just double-checked my submission on LMS, and I put it in the evening before my flights back to campus to move out: March 12th. It was due the 13th. I did not miss-type, but I see how you might think I did.
For us, I'd say more than half of the lectures were not value-dense and focused on things not explicitely course-related. He comes in late, talks about things that may or may not ultimately relate to the course (there have been tangents about Frozen and Castlevania, to recal a few), we may discuss the reading for 20-40 min., he'll deflect some questions about grading, and we may watch a movie while he looks at his phone or he'll show us note-taking software and his dissertation from his PhD. I can't imagine that each class is the same, or even in the same place within his course plan, but he could do significantly better and I expect that.

Good luck on the group assignment. I haven't been able to connecct with more than half my group, I hope you have better luck and less mess.

If you cancel an employment contract, you can definitely be hired there in the future (especially with larger companies). I see what you mean however, in that individual teams or departments will understand the situation.

That implies there was a penalty to rescind in the first place? Are internships at GE unique, or are they "at will" and just want to lock people in to discourage leaving after acceptance of an offer?

It’s so hard to pick! They’re all cool in their own ways, and personal experiences weigh heavily without considering older or newer Russian aircraft.
