EPTPassion first, and constant hard work and grind. Then everything else are jus details that fall into place because you want to so badly get better, so you just find the knowledge required and do what you have to.

Im so happy my teacher is super nice and my grades are high but the average of class is low so 0 stress for me. Very impressive grades for mech engeniering, in what sector do you wanna specialise after Oh nice, good luck! Yeah, my last assignment had a 4th order Runge Kutta with 4 equations (after doing a change of variables), so you know how usually you need to find: K1, K2, K3, K4... I had to find: K1,J1,L1M1,K2,J2,l2,M2 all the way up to M4, and those questions are simply so ugly. On the final we only had to do one iteration of 4th order Runge Kutta for an equation of: y'' = 2y't+t*e^(t^(y))... So change of variables in two equations, and do the first iteration. That was worth 12 out of 100 marks in the 3 hour exam as a reference to time per question. And probably oil and gas (at Shell), starting salaries are just so absurdly high here for Engineers in this field. The average salary for an engineer working in oil and gas here for 5 years is $130k-$140 a year. Top 10 percentile engineers after 15-20 years bring home in excess of $300k a year in the field. Early retirement or such financial freedom would be enjoyable. I have a big interest in Fluid Dynamics, especially compressible flows, complex models with little explicit math, as it's too complex for math to "solve" . I really like these problems where we are given a complex situations that cannot me fully quantified in terms of numbers, and it needs to be modelled and predicted as accurately as possible. Many applications in automative or aerospace engineering with it would be interesting, however undergrad degrees don't really cover these topics well enough to be able to work as a technical engineer in one of those fields. And it's really hard to justify a Master's with the salaries here. Working as a PhD or Master's Engineer, your career has less stability, and usually in pay they bottom out faster than the diligent undergrads too. | ||

I read lots of your post in the TL H&F thread. You have crazy work ethic, hitting the gym is one part of my life I really failed in. Ever since university I've been really skimping, gained a little bit of weight, and lost a lot of my strength. From what I last recall, you can deadlift, squat, and bench twice as much as me D: On April 21 2014 04:41 vult wrote: Nice job dude! I transferred to a new university this year and expected to have a tough time adjusting because I'm an introvert and if I'm unhappy, I do terribly. Luckily I met some amazing people (including my girlfriend of 8 months now) and got a 3.94, coming in with around a 2.6 average GPA. Glad to see another person succeed, it really does feel great! Congrats! Indeed feels great, I do feel my girlfriend has been a great help to my academics too. I suppose I'm more introverted than I once thought, and she's always there for me. Sometimes it can get lonely and just hard to carry on alone, it definitely helps having someone so close at your side. She's a very smart girl in accounting, so we are a bit of a power couple really, a nice girl, with wise expectations what she wants out of a guy (in my opinion, haha). | ||

 Keep up the pace! Grades aren't that going well for me in aerospace engineering, although i'm going to graduate next year. Although, I take full responsibility for the poor performance I gave. And with Bombardier cutting over 1700 jobs, things are kinda getting scary (I'm from Montreal). | ||

How much do you study in a week? My fist semester I did pretty well but burnt out badly and it went downhill after that. Also, what do you think about when studying? | ||

It's a special state of mind, people who haven't experienced it don't understand it. Excellence isn't so much about talent, it's achieved by reaching a specific state of mind (hard work help, but it's not the main reason). A few words of advice: 1. If you get a bad grade a few times in a row and it's not your fault, go on as before and forget about it asap. (I probably knew a few classes the best in my class, but due to some ridiculous circumstances I got bad grades and it severely discouraged me.) 2. Hang around smart people, otherwise you'll dumb down and become lazy. (Becoming lazy and complacent in my ability, plus hanging around 'party' people who are lazy themselves and the first point drove me into a pretty long depression - 1-2 other bad private things that happened didn't help as well.) 3. Don't get discouraged and just go on no matter how exhausting or hard it is (school or even social life), and keep your enthusiasm/motivation going. I know it's a cliche, but it's going to be MORE than worth it, take it from someone who got sidetracked for a few years. Oh and keep your physical health in check too (train/workout, go to the doctor), it's more important than you know, you'll see it when you get a bit older - you don't notice it now. | ||
