I keep hearing that projects are important, but I’m not sure what’s actually worth building. what engineering college project helped you learn the most or help in resume???
I know i flared it as rant/vent but It’s kind of a question. How can I stop living miserably, like any advice that can help my situation?
I am 18, starting 3rd year electrical eng this fall in united states, currently taking 10 credits over summer, work 30-35 hours a week. I have been working since I was 14 non stop. Does anyone have advice on how to enjoy my life and have hobbies, I am just always busy and it’s taking a toll on me. I haven’t gone to my mma gym in a month, haven’t been on vacation in years. I also have to worry about helping my family bcs they are poor.
Before anyone says, I can’t take it slow, my visa is renewed yearly so I’m always worried that this year will be the last year, I can’t take the chance to throw away money into college and not finish the degree. I also can’t take loans because i’m not eligible for them. I can’t even go back to my country because i’ll be drafted to war if I do.
I was thinking of applying somewhere for full ride transfer, bcs I have a 3.95 and research experience that I presented at fairs and won awards for, but it’s incredibly hard for non u.s. citizens. The competition is literally western european nepo babies who have never had a job in their life. Basically no hope at this point.
I’m going into my 3rd year of electrical engineering, and right now I am taking my circuits 2 lab. I have only gotten 1 B in college and do well academically, but in the lab i’m just straight clueless. Everyone around me knew how to work with the lab equipment since day 1, and I’m just sitting next to my lab partner and trying to understand why it works. Similarly in my c++ class everyone somehow knows every coding language, and I have only played around with python, c++, and matlab if that even counts. Am I behind, and if so what can I do to not feel like I am. I don’t have a lot of time outside of school because I work full time to pay for it.
Why the heck Indian students are not getting simple point that
Internships are there to pay you !
They payy youu ! Simple !!!
Or you work for them for free , for experience or anything
Very simple
Internship are there to pay you or you work for free
Why the heck you are paying and getting certificate
Its like giving bribe for internship certificate !
No value only ! Don’t do it for LinkedIn hype or just to showcase
Recently i saw many posts from LinkedIn
Codealpha company is looting money scamming students
Still students are paying money
Intrainz, intern spot , plasmid many fake edtechs
They are ruining your careers
❌❌ comments the fake edtech companies you know
Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a small web app called EngSketch. The idea is simple: sometimes you don’t need full CAD, you just want to quickly sketch a technical idea, add dimensions, and share/export it.
I made it because I often found myself using tools that were either too heavy for quick sketches, or not technical enough for engineering-style drawings.
I’d really appreciate feedback from engineering students:
Would this be useful for homework, lab reports, quick concepts, or explaining ideas?
What features would make it actually helpful?
Is browser-based sketching something you would use, or would you rather just use CAD, OneNote, or Paint?

Thanks — any honest feedback is welcome.
Does anyone know where i can get civil engineering CAD exercises for free?
Hello all, I'm currently pursuing my BS in biological engineering (not interested in grad school) but I can't tell if I'm making the right decision. I'm very drawn to both chemical and biological engineering, but can't choose (NOT biomed). I'm really interested in food science/packaging, environmental control, and parasitology.
After looking at my schools degree requirements, I don't feel very interested in the coursework later in my degree. However, I truly worry about my ability to successfully complete a chemical engineering degree because I know the content is physics heavy, and I ate SHIT during physics 1.
Which do you think would be a more appropriate field based on interests/concerns? I appreciate any advice!
I took a gap year after getting my AA now in uni pursuing mech engineering this year has been hectic my first summer semester I took statics, materials and diffeq, diffeq kicked my ass felt like I had to teach myself parts of calculus by hand relearning usub ibp etc,
Forgot most of physics genuinely as the class that I took was more so about learning a study guide, wondering where to go from here as I only have two more years to go but I know that these classes are core to the rest of my journey

Hello engineers,
Im nearing the end of my second year in engineering in BS computer engineering, for context i live in the MENA region, im frankly sick of studying i hate doing this shit. Ive been reading alot of fear mongering online about how a masters is needed especially in fields like engineering, what do yall think? I dont want to go into research or a PHD before someone comes at me for not giving enough context..
I'm still on highschool, but I'm trying to build some portfolio to get an engineering scholarship,
I tried learning CAD and made a bolt, a working hinge, and Steins;Gate time machine (without any moving parts tho)
I'm a CSE-AI student and an aspiring Systems & AI engineer.
I'm looking for books that build a strong foundation in:
I prefer books that start with the fundamentals but also go into enough depth to prepare me for systems programming, distributed systems, and interviews. I'm willing to read challenging books if they're worth the effort.
What books would you recommend, and in what order should I read them?
Any recommendations, opinions, or advice beyond books would also be appreciated.
I'm currently designing a VOC extractor for the Bambulab H2S/H2D, I'm going to print it out of ASA and it works by attaching an aluflex tube, extractor fan and speed regulator in order to print materials like ABS, ASA, PC, PPS and PA as safe as possible.
Since I have never designed an extractor before and this is my first extractor design, is there any advice?
Yes I did keep in mind that it will also have effect on the enclosure temperature, that's also why I want to use a speed regulator for the extractor fan in order to regulate the flow.
And yes the top will be covered with the original glass lid, I'm also planning to use foam tape to seal the space between the glass lid and the extractor.
And I know the opposite side of the vents are most likely not sucking any air but any advice for that would be appreciated as well!
I've been thinking about this project for a while now so I really hope this will be successful.
I am doing my engineering from a tier 3 college
My 2nd year is about to end and i have solved 220 dsa question from striver a to z sheet, i have only picked high priority questions. Except heaps, graphs and big manipulation i have completed all the topics
I am aiming for 20lpa+ through off campus
After my exams i will learn OS, oops, cn and dbms from YouTube
I haven’t done a single project
Can you guys please tell me what type of projects should i do, how to build those project and what are the extra things i need to learn apart from this and should i aim for solving 400 dsa problems or start giving contests? I am very much confused😭
Despite money is not a problem as I'm not from the us and college is not crazy expensive here, It feels really bad to be maintained. Im not the best student in the world so studying tales hours and hours of time everyday. How do you manage to work?? It feels impossible for me. Im curious.
I have a free Fall and Summer semester while I transfer from community college. I originally planned to get a part time job at a restaurant or retail for the next 6 months before I skedaddle but the market is awful in my town right now. So many fake postings and late interviews, interviews where the manager has no idea they have an interview scheduled. Hundreds of applicants for each minimum wage job, it’s just so bad.
I mainly wanted a job to fill my resume because I have no work experience besides a month long stint at a restaurant 5 years ago. I’m scared that I won’t be competitive for an internship without any experience at a job. I want to know if my fears are valid, I plan to spend my free time doing projects and learning skills regardless. I’m not really hurting for money as I mooch off my parents currently and would really like to not have to deal with this shit.
hello, i'm currently a MechE student in uni and next semester im taking 4 really time consuming classes all together. I have a few hobbies that I enjoy doing (reading, playing games, working out, STEM clubs on campus, etc) so I was wondering, is it possible to get all As while continuing to pursue all my hobbies?
for context the classes are: thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, material science, dynamics. I would appreciate any advice, thank you in advance!!!
I have a weak background in math and chem and no background at all in physics … trying to prepare myself for Engineering.. I see all the fear mongers on campus and from people around me… I love engineering tbh especially electronics … but people are making me feel like a loser😭
Please an advice
Basically what the title says. I’m a freshman in MechE, and I scraped by with a C+ this past semester (after the most generous curve I’ve ever witnessed), and honestly still don’t have a super solid grasp on the material that we covered. Considering MechE is a field that requires a bunch of diffEQs going forward, how fucked am I if I don’t have solid fundamentals, and what should I do to avoid that?
