Hello all! UW is my dream school (specifically the A&A engineering program) and I begin Running Start at Pierce for engineering this summer and throughout my junior/senior years (currently a sophomore). Is this a good move for getting into the engineering school? I have a 3.9 uwGPA and like a 4.2 wGPA, FIRST robotics, and all that kind of stuff. Our district’s college advisor strongly protests against running start but it seems like a smart choice for getting a head start on some pre-reqs. Thanks for your time!

This seems like a bit of a silly question but my father and I are watching the Apollo 11 documentary on Netflix and they just covered the part where the two craft separated and docked together while traveling to the moon and it seemed odd to us that that was necessary to the mission. Thanks for any answers!

I’m trying to build up a portfolio for university admissions and I want to build a little arduino-powered cubesat concept. I have an elegoo r3 kit, poor coding skills, and access to machining and 3d printers. I don’t exactly have a big budget and would like to keep it under a hundred bucks (?) I have a soldering iron as well :)
How can I make this happen and what are some good resources to learn how to make one? Thanks!!

Hey everyone! It’s my dream to work on satellites or space stations one day and I’m going into a Running Start program soon to earn my associates in engineering (program combines aero with mechanical and civil I think), planning to transfer to a 4-year to work on my bachelors and then a higher degree hopefully. I’m at the end of my sophomore year taking 4 AP classes (including precalc and physics) half A’s half A-. Should end the term with a total gpa of 3.87. Do you guys think I have a shot at being a competitive choice for engineering schools? Lots of words to ask that I guess, many thanks!

My top 2 choices currently are the University of Washington and UC San Diego but any school ideas are appreciated too!

I’ve tried to look into requirements but it’s all super confusing

I probably got like 45-48 on the MCQ and the frq’s were definitely rough. I probably missed a problem on every frq 🥹✌️

So basically I joined because goalkeeping looked cool and fun, so I got some training sessions and really enjoyed it. In March I got on my high schools team and practices were fun until we got to our first games. Letting goals in absolutely sucks and I hate how lonely it gets at the back of the field. It’s kind of driving me away from a sport that i love and I don’t know if I’m prepared to come back for another season. Can I get an opinion from anyone? Thanks

Genuinely what the hell college board 😭😭😭

Sorry to be that guy but I’m so nervous 😭
I’m trying not to concern myself with cramming too much out of avoiding stress but I’m looking at *maybe* a 3 or 4 if I clutch. I wanna be a rocket scientist so this matters a ton lmao- good luck guys 27 hours and 38 minutes!
