Ill admit I dont have a social circle here and looking for things to do. I just study for my masters and work. Occasionally I go to the university of arizona library to study. My masters is online, I should've had it in person and do it at the college to actually meet people. My coworker mentioned that the college has clubs and his wife and him are apart of. I dont know, I am not a student with the college and I graduated when I was 22. Besides hiking and museums, what is there to do to meet people?

So im starting my masters in ME (sub focus is vehicle design for the aerospace track). I am registered for mathematical methods (core course). I wanted to do an elective however I was advised to prioritize group 1 courses. Issue is, the only ones I can do (group 1 courses number like 4 classes, half of which arent offered for the fall).

I am planning on getting a waiver to do Advanced Flight Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Vehicles alongside mathematical methods. I work full time so I dont know if I am setting myself up for failure but not having a strong basis in the core class before taking this one.

Is it doable? How were the courses like?

For the year I relocated and I am taking two courses for my masters. Im looking at under 20k for the cost of my education and relocation. One of my courses is tax free. Am I shooting myself in the foot? The ESP is really good.

I saw the gym and its a pretty good one. Something you would see for a medium size college. Given that there are thousands of employees, how pack does it get from 4-6pm on workdays? Parking lot was pretty crowded after 4ish.

I am looking into getting my master's through RTX. I majored in mechanical engineering and I am interested in electrical/computer engineering for my masters (systems engineering seems to be popular as well, but don't know much about it). I've heard there some universities offer in-person classes at the site once a week. My question is, which universities offer them? Which universities are the most popular among engineers at Raytheon? I've heard of John Hopkins. I understand Ill most likely do a bit of it or all of it online, but I have a preference for in-person learning if possible (had a few semesters online during covid, didn't like it too much)

Also to add. What is the appeal of systems engineering? Is it just project management but more technical? I tried researching it but it varies widely according to employers regarding the role. My last position was a design engineer, worked along side a project engineering manager so a bit of experience there.
