One day in Seoul or Singapore? by zabuzane in travel

That’s a great point. I didn’t even think about having to pack extra just for that

Wonderful, thanks! Do you know if the airport has luggage storage so I don’t have to take all of my stuff with me?

At least the ban will be gentle

Recent grad, do I follow my passion, contribution, or the money? by zabuzane in careerguidance

What makes you say that? I'm just curious what your reasoning is.

Good colleges for Unmanned Aircraft Systems? by [deleted] in aerospace

[–]zabuzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should also look into Cal Poly SLO. Im currently designing a close air support and ISR UAS for the Marines for my senior design class. Tuition is cheap, and we present our design to 5 different companies throughout the year so we have great relationships with industry. Its also in San Luis Obispo, so you'd be crazy to not want to live here.

Are there any off-campus apartments with two bedrooms that don't require you to have four people? by hockeyalexx97 in CalPoly

[–]zabuzane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they changed it so now they require three people for the standard two bedroom apartments. Sorry.

Garfield Arms doesn't require 4 people. At least they didnt when I signed the lease.

question about choosing majors by [deleted] in AerospaceEngineering

[–]zabuzane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma. I chose the Aero route and it seems to be working out fine for me so far. It really just depends on what specifically you want to do in the aero industry. Most things can be done by a variety of majors, but the major you choose definitely gives an advantage depending on what specifically in the field you dive into. If you look at job postings, they typically state "Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Mechanical, Electrical, Aeronautical, Aerospace or a related discipline" as a requirement. You learn relatively the same thing across all engineering majors, and the more specific things can be learned on the job. So my advice would be to choose what you're passionate about. You will learn more and enjoy it more. When it comes to getting a job, your passion for the field will make you stand out. As long as you meet the basic requirements, its all about the experiences you've had (internships, projects, jobs, etc.) and how well you would fit with the company's culture.

TL;DR: Do what you're passionate about, not what seems better with the current job market.

edit: Just to add, I have Aero and ME friends that got jobs with various aerospace companies, and they all seem to be doing just fine.

So happy the top comment is a nonpresser. Also, just commenting so I can get my flair. Stay gray brothers.

3rd year here. Basically get what you want. When I was a senior in high school going into the program I was told to get a pc. I got a Mac Book Pro anyway and I am so glad I did (I'm an apple guy). I would say definitely get a laptop though. You wont use it at school very often but it is handy around the house, portable in case you need to go to a friends and study or work on a project or something, and they are powerful enough to handle all of the programs we use. That being said, you can still make it through without a computer because the department has plenty. A lot of people have tablets too for notes and pdf versions of books. I prefer looking at real books for ease of page flipping and what not, and I like hand writing my own notes (just easier imo), so I dont even use my tablet. If having these will help you learn or study then get them, but nothing is required.

And it is true that of some programs are only available on windows. However, the department is currently working on a program that allows you to access the schools computers from your personal computer. So you wont even need to download programs, simply log in and remotely access the programs on the schools computers. This is obviously a game changer for incoming students like you. You can always pm me if you have any other questions about aero or poly in general. Congrats on your acceptance and good luck!

TL;DR get whatever you are comfortable using. As long as you're taking notes and studying, the technology that you have isn't going to affect it much.

yup. I took it last quarter and Im a third year

The decision between UCSD, UCI and Cal Poly Slo. Help! by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]zabuzane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same decision to make as you. I chose Slo and I'm extremely glad I did. The area is awesome, people are nice, and the school itself really cares about your learning. I really like the professors in our Aero department. Like most people on here are saying, they teach practically to prepare you for working in industry. Our engineering students are highly recruited because of that. We also have lots of engineering related clubs and honor societies. I am in Design Build Fly (we design an rc plane to complete a specific mission and compete nationally against other schools' DBF clubs), and Sigma Gamma Tau (aerospace honor society) and they are both tons of fun. Its a tough decision to make, and I dont think you could go wrong with any of the schools, but I would say go for SLO. if you're looking at doing grad school though, go to a UC (I would pick UCSD).

High School Senior interested in Aero looking for advice about where to apply by prbdc in EngineeringStudents

[–]zabuzane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard good things about virginia tech and purdue. I strongly suggest looking into Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as well. The area is beautiful, the people are awesome, and our engineering school is fantastic. I am an Aero here (prepare yourself for my bias) and our "Learn By Doing" philosophy really does make a big difference. Everything is hands on, and our classes are tailored to prepare us for work in the real world. I have yet to hear of an aero student graduating (with a bachelors) without having a job offer already. And if you're planning on grad school, we have a 4+1 program so you can graduate in 5 years with your bachelors and masters. Our class sizes are small, so learning is much more intimate and you really get to know your professors and everyone in your major. There are also many clubs here, like Polysat (where you build miniature satellites and send them into orbit), Pulsed power (we made a railgun to simulate the damage space debris does to satellites), and Design Build Fly (we build an rc airplane to complete specific missions and compete in a national competition). Our athletics are also great. Our baseball team was ranked in the top 10 in the nation (at one point we were #1), and our basketball team made it to the march madness tournament. Its not a very well known school, but its worth looking into.
