Is a Cybersecurity MS worth it?

So I'm a junior in high school right now, and for about a year, Michigan Tech has caught my eye.

My plan is to be a Cyber Forensics Analyst and it recommends Cybersecurity BS and something related to Criminal Justice as a minor.

I've noticed that MTU doesn't specifically offer Criminal Justice. So I was wondering if I should just get a Masters.

And if anyone is taking a Cybersecurity Masters with the Coursework option instead of the thesis, would you recommend it?

Testing Hemolysis in Blood

Looking for help with Senior Design project! We're working on a package that can protect blood through drone delivery and 50 foot drop. We're running into an issue where none of us are capable of testing for hemolysis to ensure the blood is still transfusable. If anyone knows whether we have the capabilities to test this or knows any faculty we could reach out to, that would be great.

SDC guide for dummies

Hi everyone- I want to start working out but I’ve never really been to a gym before. And I’m really nervous about it. Can someone walk me through going to the SDC gym for the first time… I’ve looked up some workouts I think I can do but I don’t know like where to go? Do I need to scan in? Do I need to talk to someone if I’ve never been before or can I just go and do my thing? Literally explain like you would to a child, that would be so helpful. Thank youuuu, im just trying my best to combat the winter that is coming soon hopefully!

wildlife ecology and conservation + housing question

currently in community college and wanting to transfer to tech for this program. for anyone currently or previously in the program, how do you like it?

also, what are the chances of finding single housing up there? either a house or single apartment. i understand it's a competitive market. i'd be up there with a dog so i can't use student housing and being a homeowner in my late 20s i really don't want roommates lol.

tia!

Transfer Requirements

Hi! I want to transfer to Tech next fall. I’m currently a second year at a huge university. I want something smaller and I regret not going to MTU in the first place. I want to transfer into Mechanical Engineering, but I only have a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Where do I find the min requirements? Will I get in?

Snake allowed in Dorms?

Hey!

I'm looking to transfer to MTU in fall, for wildlife ecology and conservation, and I'm looking for housing.

I have a pet Kenyan sand boa. He's about 3 years old and around 15 inches and is in a 10 gallon rn (looking to size up).

Has anyone known of a student keeping a small snake/reptile in their dorms?

Love my little man and want to keep him with me

Does anyone have a table saw that my enterprise can borrow?

My enterprise needs a table saw to cut blocks of HDPE. The makerspace will only allow us to cut wood and we tried the machine shop in the MEEM with no luck :/ If anyone has a table saw, it would help us tremendously if we could use it! Let us know

Krause being fired?

I saw some petition floating around alleging it was regarding them drinking after last years woodchuck games and a student only now coming forward but that seems a little strange to me so I was wondering if anyone has the scoop…

This was a few weeks ago btw, I’m just getting around to making a post now

Salary Explosion

MTU used to post salary PDF's every spring. In April 2021 it showed the President earned $461,250 and the Provost earned $279,531. u/roman2jj recently posted data from the April 2024 list showing the president at $508,866 and the Provost at $359,662. The board just gave the President a retroactive $55,000 raise for 2023-24 which brings him to at least $563,866. So in just 3 years time the President's pay went up 22.2% and the Provost's pay went up 28.7%. One assumes they got yet another raise effective July 1, 2024.Our top two leaders are looting the treasury.... I don't know many rank and file who are averaging 7-9% annual raises.

Gluten Free dining hall update

I made a post a while back and just wanted to update everyone. I met with the dining director and dietician recently. The dietician maybe said 1 sentence the whole time. The director was very adamant that there was no way to get a gluten-free fryer because of “the way the kitchen is set up” and they can’t bring the oil into the allergen free zone. Also, no air fryer or pizza oven or anything because they need “commercial equipment”. I would argue the tiny awful toaster they make me use wouldn’t pass as commercial equipment though. A positive note is that it has been a while now since I last got really sick so that’s nice. Unfortunately that might be partly because I’ve been making my own food more on the stove in our dining hall kitchen. Still eating chicken for at least 1 meal a day about 5 times a week. I know it’s healthy but it gets old. They told me if I wanted something gluten free that was on a separate line I could ask for them to grab it fresh from the back but every time I’ve done it it has taken the staff quite a long time to grab it. Like multiple minutes standing there awkwardly while all my friends are already almost done eating. Also he blatantly lied about having desserts and buns ready for me in the gf “nook”. I had to show him that there actually was not (and hadn’t been all year). Very frustrating. Also, seems the school really doesn’t want to compromise on price even though I have such reduced options. I’m gonna reach out regarding that again though. Wads is getting a whole new renovation next year so hopefully that brings some good news to future huskies.
