Is there anyone here who did their coops in the US on site? I've seen people from Ontario Tech go down to California to work at Tesla, and a few at various Rivian plants like Illinois and Michigan.
What's the process of applying like? How did you deal with the coop officer?
Title. How useful were they?
I'm interested in building a wheeled robot as a project, however right now I have no idea where to start. I want to learn as much as I can. What are some good resources for learning about how to build a robot? I'm mainly interested in learning about robotic drive trains.
Thank you!
The paint is coming off my laptop, not sure how, but is there any solution to this?

Title. Basically, I entered a timeline into my OSAP application, my program start and end date, however, I should've added like 2 more weeks to the program. I know it won't change a lot, but I'm just curious if the timeline I entered would even have a part in determining my funding. Thank you!
During my first year here, something I noticed was that the majority of my peers in engineering do use AI for work related tasks. I do use AI, but ONLY to make it easier for me to grasp/understand complex concepts, not blindly just memorize the algorithms to different questions.
However, I started to see students use AI for extremely simple tasks that does not even require AI. Like it's not even "generate a paragraph", or "write this conclusion for me", I've seen people ask Chat GPT to generate the graphs for labs (and it generates horribly wrong graphs as well) but some people just don't care. 😂
So considering all this, how would you recommend students utilise AI to optimize their education rather than just blindly get them through their degrees? (Which could lead to even bigger problems after they graduate)
So "Computational Engineering and Applications" is a mandatory course where we learn about MATLAB/Python and how to use it to solve complex problems (at my university).
But I'm curious, is learning MATLAB and practicing it still a good skill to have in this day and age (pertaining to A.I boom and other powerful tools out there)? Do you still use it for your career?
Thanks!
So I submitted my application a while ago, and I wanted to get an estimate of my funding, so I entered 24 weeks, but then I realized it was supposed to be 31 weeks.
It does say 31 weeks under the "Total Weeks of study" part when I went to review my application because I did enter the program start and end date clearly, but nevertheless I entered 24 weeks for getting an estimate of my funding.
Will this impact my funding?
Basically an instagrammer by the name "sutchin soma" praising Sri Lanka as a tourist destination, but the comments definitely do not agree.
So I bought an MSI Cyborg 15 A13VE, with the RTX4050, just two years ago and the bearings on it are failing.
I see listings for MSI Cyborg 15 A13V case fans and fan modules. However because my laptop is the A13VE I'm hesitant to buy those replacement part listings.
My question is would an A13V fan fit/work perfectly fine for an A13VE?
Thank you!
I want to buy a laptop part and came across a product of theirs. They seem fine and they have 2000+ reviews with 99% being positive. Has anyone ordered from them?
P.S I saw a post regarding them on this subreddit from like 2 yrs ago but no one mentioned if they were reliable or not so consider this a follow-up as well.
Thanks!
I understand all our degrees are CEAB accredited but if you wanted to improve something in-order to up the quality of education and make our eng degree more competitive what would it be? It could be what courses are taken first year, rigour, course format/content etc.

I'm exploring my uni options and I am also considering SLIIT while I am at it.
​
How was student life? How are the lecturers? Do you feel like it's worth all the money you are spending?
​
I'm concerned more about the engineering Dept. Thanks!

Mechatronics engineering btw. Anyone that should be avoided and profs that are good?
I'm asking for a friend, just curious, are there people that have ever considered joining the military? he is interested mainly in the navy and joining the marine corps. How are the benefits overall? Is it worth it right now? Would it be financially smart to do so?
Title. Just curious, cause from what I hear, Ansys is really hard to master, SolidWorks is as well but it's more friendlier.
So is there no point in trying to learn FloXpress or is it still a good skill to have? Thanks
NOTE: This post is a repost of my previous post as there was something I wanted to edit. Thank you for understanding.
An incident recently went viral in the Philippines involving tourists allegedly attacking locals in Siargao. Similar tensions are also being discussed in parts of Thailand, where many locals say certain tourist behaviors and illegal businesses are becoming a serious issue.
Seeing this reminded me of Sri Lanka, especially Arugam Bay. It’s a beautiful coastal town, but many locals have been raising concerns for a while now about disrespectful behavior, tourists operating businesses illegally, and spaces where locals feel unwelcome in their own town.
This is not about race or hating an entire group of people. Most tourists are respectful and contribute positively to local communities. But ignoring repeated issues also doesn’t help anyone. If people visit another country, they should respect the locals, the culture, and the laws.
What do you guys think?
For engineers who have made rc planes/drones as a personal project to put on a resume, what type of skills did you acquire from it and how did you make it sound "good"?
Aside from this what are some other cool project ideas that you have worked on? Feel free to share!
Thank you!
