Also watch where you go, and what you go for, dont spend money to not get a job.

As long as it flows into a non-tech engineering program. I have met very few mechanical engineering technology graduates that have the job prospects of a regular mechanical engineering graduate.

mebe I join you guys in fall 2016? Thinking of a career change [read: getting the fuck out of here] and going back to restart an engineering degree.

Provincial community college offers a 2 year diploma "Mechanical Engineering Technology" program that is designed to flow into year 3 of an actual engineering program.

I'm hoping to do it this way because 1: It'll definitely be easier to get back into it than doing real university courses, 2: 8:30-4 schedule, so I can shmooze HR to put me on evening shifts and try to work [read: mostly do any class homework] and still pay the mortgage/car etc. I think I'll be at 11 on a 1-10 scale of how much I'll hate myself while doing this, but if I can swing it even for a year, I think it would be beneficial.

is this why u can only afford an e3o, i could tell

Well you're not wrong.

Fuck studying. Party hard.

Giving up is the worst thing you could do, because then you'll kick yourself for wasting time going to school when you could've been working on building a career in something. Cut back on work. When I started working on my 2nd bachelor's degree (going for Electrical Engineering) I dropped down to working 2 days. I'm poor as shit now, but I can focus on school and am a lot less stressed than I was when I was working full time and going to school full time.



3-4 years for me. I just want to be done with school, hoping to finish this degree before I'm 30. I'm getting friggin wrecked by this math. I went from thinking I'd never need it and neglecting it (through high school and my first degree), to falling back on plan 'C' where math is my entire fucking education. My last math class before this semester was college algebra, in 2008.

Well this is a hell of a coincidence, but if you need help with math or any EE courses let me know cause we go to the same school hahahaha

Shit... Not sure what to do.. Still leaning towards retaking statics but that would suck. But would it suck more than taking dynamics with little to no knowledge of statics??




Im EE so I dont need strengths. I dont really need statics either but its required for whatever reason.. but Ive been told that strengths is pretty much the same shit as statics. So if dynamics is strengths on crack then im on the path to failing dynamics. Sick.




lol. my linear algebra teacher has been so nice to us. Hes said many times that theres no point in making us do shit like that. One of my favorite profs so far.

I'm EE so statics and strengths count for technical electives. The fundamentals of ME are based off of statics, so whichever you go for the concepts of statics will still apply. Just be ready to work harder to understand it and you'll be good

Oh hey... There's 30 minutes left in the last class of the semester. LET'S START A WHOLE NEW TOPIC THAT WILL BE ON THE FINAL.

Seriously. Fuck this guy. I have never met a human being I have adamantly hated more than this professor.

[MF DOOM]

Statics for me was really easy, I had a good mechanical engineering professor.
Dynamics however is the hardest class I have taken so far bar none, statics does apply to dynamics in some questions. The exams I avged around 50-60% which was also the average for the whole class.

Shit... Not sure what to do.. Still leaning towards retaking statics but that would suck. But would it suck more than taking dynamics with little to no knowledge of statics??

trust me I know the feeling. I'm taking my electromagnetic fields and waves on friday so it's cramming time


Dynamics is strengths on crack, so learn as much as you can before you step into that class haha

New edition of how to get your students to hate you:

Compute the inverse of 4x4 matrices by hand.

Fat old fuck.

"When I was in school we etched our notes into stone tablets, so you have to also! Screw these newfangled technologies"

-Basically all math teachers

it will be interesting when all the kids who learned math using CORE will deal with the older college profs.

lulz for the m42 turbo gang ^

- chem lab quiz (yeah that's right quizzes in lab what BS!)
- programming test
- circuits analysis test
- 3x CAD drawings that I didn't do yet

all tomorrow along with the chem homework I still haven't finished. I'm going to go insane.

[gespinal0301]

Its at that point in the semester where I have two weeks before all these god damn engineering finals.

trust me I know the feeling. I'm taking my electromagnetic fields and waves on friday so it's cramming time

EE/m42 turbo gang reppin


Question for those who have taken dynamics. How much of it is based on statics? A little or a lot? Because I feel like I havent learned shit from my statics class (the prof the i was complaining about earlier in this thread) and im seriously considering retaking it with a different prof. Opinions?
