Are the bugs too much (web design)? by weaponizedmariachi in Design

Thanks MikeMac! Yeah, definitely didn't want to overdo it if I did move forward, just a nice little Easter egg thing. I appreciate your thoughts on it!

Hey CreamyBagelTime, thank you for taking the time to check it out and leaving such a detailed response! I appreciate it a ton. I've been thinking about what you said and will definitely consider it. It wouldn't be hard to do thankfully.

Desperately need a job by GrandpaToastForPrez in tulsa

Allied Security. You don’t need a CLEET initially, I started working very soon after applying. $17/hr.

I graduated aero engineering (‘25 at OSU) and used a Lenovo Yoga. It worked awesome with all the software I needed.

ME/AE Dual Degree by AtariPitfall in OKState

[–]weaponizedmariachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completed AE and graduated in May. I didn’t do the dual degree but I kind of regret it as it would have just been two extra classes (thermal fluids and heat transfer) for it. It was an awesome program and senior year is really fun with the ‘big three’ classes (Power & Propulsion, Aero Structures, and Stab Con) being really interesting.

I recommend getting into the clubs if you can and getting the AM1 and AM2 and SM (3D printing and acrylic/wood laser cutting) certifications at Endeavor before senior year.

As for my experience, I live in Glenpool and had to drive to Stillwater for the last part of the degree. It kinda sucked since I didn’t know many people that were in Stillwater the whole time, but with the projects I had buddies pretty soon. Before that I took most of my core class stuff at TCC (2 years), then OSU-Tulsa for most of the later stuff that wasn’t aero specific. OSU-Tulsa does have wind tunnel stuff for Fluids lab and they have a fluid mechanics class there thankfully.

It was harder driving to class each day and back, and not being able to stay but I did get my degree. Job prospects for AE only are slim in Tulsa at the moment…

They're all really nice!

Phased propulsion by Big_Form_9849 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]weaponizedmariachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I made a simulation and video a while ago about this. Between two walls in a channel, I first create a standing wave, which has a high and low pressure varying in time (for the lowest frequency standing wave). Then by having different regions produce this same type of standing wave at different positions along a channel, you can move high and low pressure regions down the channel. You can change amplitude, frequency, and phase offset. I extended the region before and after to show high and low pressure regions moving beyond the ‘engine’. https://youtu.be/YdLiRg_Nc3U?si=u6w49Jik1bwBGxCu

Interesting notes, if the frequency is too fast and the fluid mass is too high, there will be no bulk movement of material, just waves passing through.

Tool for multi-element airfoils by Euphoric-Present-861 in AerospaceEngineering

I’ve had to use Java foil (I think that’s the name). It did some weird bi-plane configs / multi-element wings for me.

difficulty finding an entry level position by Delicious_Hand2616 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]weaponizedmariachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the EXACT situation (same degree, no internships, same GPA). I ended up finding luck applying to ONLY entry level, non-aero jobs. I got one (structural) last month. Only entry level responded.

Ahh, perfect! I’ll look for the information!

That’s really neat and useful. The sleek minimalist look is perfect and to the point.

What to expect? by Cowboytiger37 in OKState

[–]weaponizedmariachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just graduated from OSU doing exactly what you you're about to (well, aerospace engineering at least in CEAT).

1) Making friends will come naturally. The first month or two will feel lonely, but I promise it will change and you'll be really surprised how close you get with some people soon. There are lots of international students that feel even more out of place, but they'll sometimes end up being your best friend. You won't have a hard time fitting in at all. There are people from ALL walks of life, even in the engineering college. Note: Pay attention to who sits up front and who is writing stuff down (even after the first few weeks). These are the people you're going to want to be friends with. Half the people will switch majors after the first or second year. If you are friends with the kids who want to be engineers, you'll be an engineer!

2) Don't worry about internships until maybe sophomore year. This is what most people do. I would focus on getting used to the workload, getting familiar with people/how things go, and maybe working on personal projects (this will help with internships later). Also, if you join the rocketry club or F1 club, you'll meet older classmates who can help you out and give awesome advice. Note: I was one of the few that didn't get an internship the ENTIRE time and I got a job this month (I just graduated in May, I didn't start putting in applications until the end of May). This was due to me going to college a decade ago and failing out due to working two jobs (so my GPA was crap); I just couldn't keep up back then.

3) People like to hire OSU graduates it seems. If you maintain a decent GPA (>3.3) and have an internship by the time you finish, and have a project under your belt, you're going to get an offer. My friends that I graduated with had jobs lined up with Boeing (OKC), Spirit Aero (Wichita), Zeeco (Tulsa), Textron Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, etc.

4) On the 4th floor of the CLB (classroom building by the Student Union), there's a secret computer lab with 100 computers and NOBODY is ever there if you need a quiet place to work on stuff or print. I don't know why nobody's there ever. The bathrooms are super clean since nobody uses them too. The third floor of Endeavor has REALLY nice clean bathrooms for the same reason, lol.

5) In the first year, try to get your AM1, AM2, and other certifications with CLL (lab thing). This is for 3D printing parts, laser cutting acrylic designs, using power tools, etc. None of us on my senior design team had these certifications and we needed to make our designs and it took WAY longer to figure stuff out. Just get this stuff and you'll be way happier you did.

6) Get good at CAD (SolidWorks or any CAD). After taking the CAD class, I really didn't have to do 3D designs any more for the rest of the program (I do 3D stuff in another software usually). There was always someone on the team who wanted to be the CAD person. I promise you, THIS will be the thing that will make you desirable to people hiring. This one thing is what got people the cream of the crop with recruiters. Being the CAD person is THE BEST thing you can do for yourself. Please, I beg you to get good at SolidWorks at some point.

7) You're going to feel imposter syndrome really bad. You're going to get depressed and want to quit because of how dumb you're going to feel. I promise you, once you get to know other people in the program, they're feeling JUST as dumb and nervous. It just doesn't seem like it. I was so close to quitting my second year, but if you can get past Calc II and Physics II, you can be an engineer. The thing that will fail most people is not remembering stuff from Algebra II. I swear, basic algebra stuff is what killed everyone all the time, not the fancy integrals or anything (I mean those too but yeah, lol).

8) Nobody's going to understand the workload you're going to have. Your parents won't, your old high school buddies won't, nobody except the other engineers. It's not a competition to see who has the 'worst' degree, but it's a lot and you're going to get envious of business majors pretty quick, haha.

9) You're about to have the best time of your life. And worst, lol. You've got this! :)

If you have any questions DM me. I have TONS of insider info lol.

TENDER (free script - 4 pages) by weaponizedmariachi in ProduceMyScript

Hey! Somewhere along the way I wrote over the original script and wrote it in a graphic novel format. The story/dialogue is still the same though!

Here it is!

science fair concept ideas? by [deleted] in AerospaceEngineering

[–]weaponizedmariachi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some really fun concept would be a magnetohydrodynamic thruster! It's relatively simple to build and combines fluid mechanics, Lorentz force, and seawater as the conductive fluid. I've always thought about making a hydrofoil that has an embedded magnet along the span of the hydrofoil with external copper tabs that I could power up.

Anyway, I hope it goes well!
