Engineering Majors?

I'm a 5th year Mechanical Engineering major. Yeah the classes are difficult compared to other undergrad majors but I feel like anyone willing to work hard can do it. Career fair is next week so hopefully I can land a full time job after graduation next Spring.
 
I'm a computer science major. Currently at a CC, getting ready transfer. These Calculus classes are killing me.
 
Anyone have advice for going back to school after graduating? I graduated in the Spring with my BS in Civil Engineering and I am currently an intern at the Dept of Trans for a big city but I feel like I've plateaued ever since graduating. My boss says to go back to school and get a MBA which I might consider. I've applied for full time positions else where but I know I need to get my EIT in order to help land a decent job so I am studying for that as well.
 
not an engineer or an engineering major, but a couple people I know got GOOD jobs with Westinghouse right after graduation.

Also, the Air Force needs tons of engineers as officers, thats their primary focus (not trying to recruit people, just making aware of opportunities)

Any Aerospace Engineers in here/here on NT?

I plan on getting into that field after I take the Aviation Maintenance Technician two year program, I'm on the waiting list for it till next fall. So right now im just knocking out general classes. I just recently got let go (fired) from a big aerospace company out here in Everett (due to legal stuff), I was 4 months away of potentially making over 100k  w/ lots of OT , and I only have a high school diploma. Made me realize I had no plan B to fall back on if ish hits the fan. My parents plan on paying for my education and i plan on working at the airport on the side when i get my AMT and pursue my Aerospace Engineering degree at a University near by. 

I believe its a narrow field to get into but if your innovative you can go far with it because these day companies are looking for new ways and technology to not only put people in the air but also space. if you get into NASA and Virgin Mobile your set.
 
Also, those who are involved, take pride in being an Engineer. We make the world go round. We solve the problems. We create all the newest technologies. And yes, we work the hardest out of any major out there (in my opinion of course). Studying Engineering is a humbling experience but there is no better feeling than working your butt of on a problem and finally getting it right. Or putting in hours and hours of work to see it pay off on an exam. 
 
Hey_

What would be the best route if I wanted to pursue a job in renewable energy/green jobs?

Anyone informed on the effects having a BSMET would have instead of getting a BSME? How much would it limit you?
 
Graduated in ME with a 2.8 and I have to say it's been tough finding a job right out of college, there are thousands of jobs for folks with 3-5yrs experience. I can't get experience because everyone wants me to already have it. crazy...

Any tips or even introductions for people with 0 years experience? 
 
thats one of my nightmares^ 

the only thing im doing right now is just looking at CL for any tyoe of engineering intern, granted i need as much time as possible to study for physics and Diff eq. 
 
i heard statics and dynamics aren't easy, i will be taking both in the summer. I cant wait to get this associate and start my 4 year school im so over my CC

Some people find it simple, but I'm not one of 'em. I'm glad I chose EE instead of Civil

Diff. Eq isn't too bad man. One of my best grades ever and this is coming from someone who did awful in the Calc series. The great thing about Diff Eq. is that most of the time there is only one way to do a problem so once you get that approach down you should be good.


Statics, on the other hand, is a completely different thing..... In the class right now and it is making little to no sense at all.....
 
Statics is super easy. Dynamics is just like physics 1 with calculus thrown in there.

Diff eqs is probably one of the easiest maths IMO. There's only one way to do the problems. The problem is identifying the type of problem and using the proper solution
 
If you're a civil, statics and dynamics is key. If you get it down now, it will make your upper division classes easier.

Getting ready to apply for my P.E. Exam for April 2014. Once I get that, it's smooth sailing til retirement haha

Good luck!!

I'm studying for the FE now, it should help me land a job.
 
Taking linear algebra right now. Gettin roasted right now smh :/

Cant be overcome by self pity and doubt
