Hi all,

I'm a mod at r/EngineeringStudents and took this sub over in order to host all the engineering technology talk.

I'll reinvigorate this subreddit here after I'm done automating r/EngineeringStudents and r/DataHoarder

Submit your suggestions down below.

Can anyone help me to know what are the major impacts of engineering technologist in the society during the pandemic?

Heya; I'm in between semesters for my Associates in Mechanical Engineering Technology, and I'm curious if there are any additional certifications I should look into getting, or online courses that will deepen and enrich my knowledge base.

What else looks good on a resume? What can help me stand out to future employers?

I know this is a pretty inactive subreddit but hopefully someone can provide some suggestions. I really like the idea of engineering and design aspect but I’m more so a hands on type of person. I love building stuff or really just using my hands. I think that’s much more attractive then sitting at a desk behind a computer. That being said, what route should I go towards? What one uses your hands the most? Civil? Mechanical? Biomedical? Etc....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

COVID-19 has exposed significant under-investment in certain aspects of digital products such as scalability, maintainability, and performance. We've put together a virtual panel to discuss the connections between the craft of building digital products and business outcomes.

I'm currently a student at Purdue University Northwest for Computer Science. And I'm thinking about switching my major to Mechatronics Engineering Technology which is not only a 4-year degree but is also ABET-accredited and I can even get masters. I'm also considering going for a Mechanical Engineering degree and while I know the salary for a ME is quite high I was wondering about the possible jobs and salaries a BS MET and an MS MET can possibly have.

I'm thinking about going back to school and was wondering your thoughts about a completely online degree. Are they a good idea in a competitive field vs on campus? I'm considering Embry Riddle. Any thoughts? I work full time and need the convenience. Any tid bit of information would really be appreciated.

hi everyone!

I've passed the hirevue interview and the mechanical comprehension test. the next step is for me to go to Heathrow for a face to face interview.

I was wondering if anyone has been through the interview process and had some advice for me?

thank you for everyone in advance

Are there good job opportunities for engineering technologists (mechanical) in NZ? Considering that lots of colleges offer this course there, I’m guessing yes?

I've been looking for mechanical engineering courses online and found out that they're either offered as Bachelor in Engineering or in Engineering Technology. What is the main difference between the two? And why is the latter usually just 3 years, instead of the former which is 4 years?

Also, are there a lot of career opportunities when I pursue Engineering Technology?

Curious if anyone might have a good idea on the best way to track the velocity of a small ball. I am looking for a sensor or potentially video software to do a project I am currently working on. The ball can travel up to 115 mph, is a solid color, would be entering anywhere in a 5'x4' area, and the measurements would be taking place outside in potentially bright sunlight. So far I have looked into a bunch of different sensors, but none seem like they would be a good option (ultrasonic, photo-gates, IR, etc).

I’m interested in getting an associate’s degree in engineering technology, but there aren’t any colleges around me that offer it. That’s when I found out about a online school called Penn Foster. My girlfriend is enrolled there doing a program on dog grooming, and I saw that they have an associate’s program in engineering technology. The website says they are accredited, the cost of the program is relatively affordable, and the whole curriculum is self-paced. I’m just worried that when I go to apply for an entry level position, employers won’t recognize my online degree. Am I right for worrying about this? Or will employers take my education seriously? Is this a bad idea in general? Or is this do-able?

Any advice is appreciated.

Here is the program I’m talking about:

In the wake of the catastrophic bush fires in Australia Where Millions of lives and property has been lost it is with great displeasure that I being an Engineer have to sit down and watch a bunch of rigorous men sacrifice there lives to stop the scorching Tsunami Like fires with a Hose pipe that is only enough to shut down a minor fire. Living in the 21st Century filled with brave inventors I urge every Engineer and innovator to use their intelligence to the epitome of its potential to find a better solution such as a Water Bomb or a anti-Fire hydrant which can be used to bring this situation to an equilibrium. Some would say Taking measures to avoid Green house activities and emissions would be a better way of approaching this problem but we all know the power of corporate Giants in controlling corruption that takes place to avoid these measures . Let’s starts all over again !!!!

I'm a student in a ME program right now, but I have been considering switching to a MET program, it seems much more interesting than a ME and you get to work with your hands more, which is something that I enjoy doing. The main problem that I see is that it is not a job that is in high demand. I wanted to ask some of the people who have become METs on whether this education is still worth it or if I should just stay in ME. The only reason why I am asking this is that I know that technology is advancing and I hear that a lot of the tasks that a MET does get replaced by things that MEs can do now, such as rapid prototyping.

Hi, I'm an electromechanical engineer technician student in Canada, and I'm wondering if its possible and how is it possible for me to become a full engineer after graduating, do I have to take another 4 years of university or do I get some sort of accreditation so I only have to do 2 years at uni? Is it even possible for a technician to become an engineer?

My husband wants to go back to school for engineering. His previous experience is in math, art and he loves board games. We recently went to the theme parks in Florida where he decided that designing rides is his calling. Question is what to major in? He is thinking mechanical with a minor in electrical. We also just came across a video that suggested taking theatre set design classes as well. Thoughts? Advice?

I am 28 years old trying to change my career path which right now is retail. I am wondering if anyone knows what traits would be more desirable in technicians. I am looking at two paths mechatronics https://catalog.chattanoogastate.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=29&poid=5994 And automation https://www.chattanoogastate.edu/automated-controls. If I wanted to be a technician which would you think would have more job opportunities? There is also the trade path I could take and then maybe go for associates after https://www.chattanoogastate.edu/industrial-maintenance-technician. Honestly wracking my brain here but I just want something that will get me into a stable career

Hi engineers,

I'd like to create a poormans pulley rig to pull out traps over ocean piers. It's got to extend at least 60" over the ledge so the traps doesn't get stuck under the pier structure. Maybe I'll draw a picture to get you an idea. This is not homework or anything. Just something I'm trying to make to reduce body strain.
