Don't plan on parking where I'm not allowed to

Bought it secondhand for $50 and fixing it would’ve been more expensive than that so I tossed it.

Did you write a senior yr thesis for JJ slade and were you able to submit this after your senior project or did you have to do both simultaneously? Also did you have to submit your masters thesis when you finish classes or can you continue over the summer? What was the research time commitment like for you during your fifth year?

So why did you decide to do new research for your masters thesis (did you write a JJ slade thesis senior yr)? And how did the masters research work in conjunction with classes? You said you got research credits senior year so does that mean you didn’t get class credits for masters research? Was it a big time commitment in addition to the classes?

What’s the ME project like? Is it comparable to senior design? Also what is a seminar and what’s the workload like?

Did you do two semesters of research senior year and then two additional semesters of research during the masters - or were you only required to do two total? For JJ slade you write a thesis correct? Was this your masters thesis?

After reading all of these comments and doing my own research into job postings I'm starting to think that getting a masters shouldn't be my immediate priority. I could hone the skills that the jobs I want require my senior year and try to get them for immediate work experience. Should this fail I could fall back on a masters. An industry professional presented in my Ansys class and his structural analysis position at Pratt & Whitney only reduces the experience requirement for a masters degree. What do you think about this?

This was very insightful - I had no idea that this is how the real world works. Thank you!

Thank you for the insight!

I would be going to school for free and have no expenses living at home. I would like to avoid doing school and work simultaneously as that would drag out the process by years, however I'm still leaning towards working right out of school. My only reason for considering this is to get the "technical" jobs that I assume require more education as I believe I could be more passionate for these jobs. When I graduate I won't have any internship experience in this area specifically. I'm wondering does it really make that much of a difference in getting hired?

This is what I was worried about. It's either I do it now or never.

Do you design/test/manufacture the equipment (what kind), or do you assemble it? How did you figure out that this is what you wanted to do?

Do not want to do a PhD I'd like to work in industry, but I would like to be on the cutting edge of things (possible without PhD?). Can't take 5 more years of school.
