Do you miss being an engineering student?

Just curious, for those of you who have entered the workforce, how is working as an engineer compared to being an engineering student.

Is it more stressful? More work? Or is it relatively "easier" than being a student.

Yeah he might wanna get his numbers checked 💀😭

45k for a Cullinan ain't bad tbh 🤣. Nevertheless the silver colour looks amazing on that thing.

What type of regulations should be introduced/enforced in a capitalistic society?

If you had the power to introduce new laws and bills, what type of laws would you introduce into our current capitalist environment to make it better for both business owners and ordinary citizens? And why?

As a tron engineering major, is it possible to do more mech eng courses?

As the tile. I'm in mechatronics but could I take more mechanical engineering courses? I understand there is some overlap between majors, however, is there a possibility I can take more mechanical engineering specific courses like vibrations etc etc?

Why don't our cops have body cams?

Body cams could offer transparency for police departments across the country, and could tackle the issue of unlawful/corrupt officers, which is a pretty big problem within our police force.

What's it called when the government owns minority stake in a company, but a parent company/individual has majority equity (not entirely state owned)?

Title basically. Just trying to educate myself. Does this system even exist? For example the government owns 15% of a very profitable company and received a set amount of dividends. Could the government use dividends to possibly fund things like healthcare, education and defense and other social programs alongside reduced taxes?

Would this still encourage foreign investment? Innovation?

I'm in a bit of a predicament with my RC plane build...

So I started building a plane and bought all the equipment, but I didn't really think about the small things. For example I bought a battery with a deans connector, only to find out that deans plugs are really outdated and way less reliable and even laughed at (lol)

And to make things worse I bought one of those hella cheap yellow ESCs to keep things really low cost and just to find out they are really unreliable as hell and could burn up at any moment.

My question is should I delay my build and buy better equipment like a better ESC? Or should I just build it and upgrade later on? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Can we please take some time to admire classical Sinhala songs?

Clarence Wijewradene, Milton Mallawarachci, Jothipala, JA Milton Perera, TM Jayarathna, Amaradewa are some examples of iconic singers who wrote Sinhala songs, and they are really nice songs.

I don't think many Sri Lankans listen to the original versions, but rather covers. For example 2Forty2 has some amazing covers of Clarence's songs.

I really hope the future generations don't give up on listening/singing these songs, and continue the legacy of these iconic singers.

What job can a mechatronics engineer get in aerospace?

I am in Canada, and here mechatronics is a well known discipline. I also understand its rather still new in the US but there are some ABET accredited programs at some unis.

I really love aircraft/spacecraft but didn't go for mechanical because I loved electrical eng/software as well I thought mechatronics might give me a nice balance.

But that being said I'm curious what y'all here think what kind of jobs I can possibly land in the aerospace industry. Below is what my degree looks like in general. Any advice is appreciated.

Introduction to engineering

Calc 1

Linear algebra

Physics 1

Engineering communications

Chemistry for engineers

Engineering design

Intro to programming (c++)

Calc 2

Are these ESCs any good?

It's the only ESC I can get immediately at my local RC store, so I don't need to wait 4-5 days of shipping time if I order online.

Its a FMS predator ESC btw.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Does Laminar Research actively make updates to X plane mobile?

Title basically. How often do they add aircraft? A 737 max would lowk be nice, or an a350. I was pretty excited when they added the a330-300 and gosh I was actually surprised by how good it was.
