Wow, it’s really strange reading this thread after so long and reading about my mindset on what I was working on and learning.
Yeah, I went through a ton of Buckysroom tutorials on Android App development and put an app out on Google Play. I also finished the CFD code for the wind tunnel model even (though I haven’t built the physical model yet sadly). Furthermore, I finished the design of the controller for the 2 DoF rotator and inputted the code from MATLAB into an Arduino controller with some prototype hardware to test it out. I also have a job as a material handler that I’ve been doing for the past year. It’s not engineering at all, but it helps pay the bills and fund engineering projects that I’ve been working on and planning. I even helped design a one-of-a-kind can crusher at work which has ended up being really useful.
To keep with the thread, my next goals are to design a Gameboy emulator. After seeing some articles about them and using them online, I feel like I want to build one from scratch. And I’d like to keep my promise and get that tunnel built and get some drag data for my model cars. That would be really neat. Furthermore, I’m going to try to get a motorcycle license and see if I can get guitar lessons too. It’s been depressing living every day trying to get that engineering internship / job and just seeing rejection after rejection after rejection. But, I need to start doing things that aren’t engineering related and it will hopefully keep me happier.
Anyway, same question as before: still looking for that elusive internship or entry level engineering job. Does anyone have new advice, or is there anything I can try differently that will improve my chances?
Thanks in advance.
