I’m sure a few posts have already been made similar to this, but I’m a recent grad who has been working about half a year at an EPC in the midstream industry as a junior project engineer. I’m decently enjoying the work and learning a lot, but I don’t think I will be fulfilled working in similar hands-off positions for the rest of my career.

Any advice on how to transition from this to something like design or manufacturing? I am planning on staying at least another half a year, likely longer. I just don’t want to be pigeonholed in this industry and would like to get out at some point early in my career. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I graduated about a month ago, and ever since then pretty much everything I’ve been doing has been applying to jobs (which I’ve been doing since September). It feels super dejecting already with the market being so rough despite me having solid internship experience, projects, and GPA.

However, the part that’s even worse for me at the moment is the feeling of being completely frozen in life. I know it’s temporary, but I’m living in my college town because my lease ends at the end of July. Most everyone is either traveling, working, or has not graduated. I don’t really know what to do with my time besides applying to jobs because it’s gonna end so soon anyway. I wanna join a choir and volu

Hey all, I'm a recent mechE graduate from a US university. I recently decided to completely revamp my resume, so I went through the wiki and created a new document from scratch. I'm just hoping to get some feedback on this resume so I can create a final draft for my job search this summer. I'm open to a wide variety of positions, but I'm most hoping for a position in new product development, I&C engineering, manufacturing, or utilities. I'm located in the mountain west, but I have been applying to jobs throughout the country and am open to relocation. I am currently unemploye

Hello all, I’m a mechanical engineering major in my senior capstone course. We’re designing a rover with 6 driven wheels (24V BLDC motors rated at 5.7A each) operating with a 24V NMC Li-ion battery system.

I’m just trying to find an affordable busbar/screw terminal that is capable of distributing those loads from the battery to the 6 individual motors, 4 independent steering servos, and our PCB. In total I would need either 7 or 11 terminals all connected to the same power supply. Can you point me in the right direction, ideally with a link to a part? Thanks a lot!

I’m a second semester senior in school, and I would really like to go on a relatively long solo road trip around the country (US) before going into my career. I’ve never driven further than ~5 hours from home, but I’m hoping to explore as much as I can! Any travel tips or ideas on places to go? It will be during the summer, probably around late May to early-mid June.

I’m planning on tripping on acid with some buddies tomorrow (my first time, they’ve all done it before), but I think I’m getting a bit of a cold. This is gonna be my last opportunity to see them for a while, so I am hoping to take some dayquil before the trip. Any dangers of this?

Hey everyone, I had a super strange dream last night and I’m just kinda wondering what the hell happened lol.

I went to sleep in the same room as a friend (in the dream), and she woke up in the middle of the night. She woke me up super lightly so I was still asleep, but I wasn’t conscious yet? I was able to open my eyes while still asleep, and started walking and taking in the environment around me. Everything looked kinda trippy like I was coming down from a shroom trip, and I was still “asleep”. My friend described it as spectral awareness, which obviously my brain just made up.

Is there anything somewhat similar to this? It felt strangely close to a lucid dream, but I wasn’t in contr
