Mechanical Degree?

7 Upvotes

I graduated from MTSU with a degree in Concrete Industry Management, but I’ve been seriously considering going back to school to earn an engineering degree. My long-term goal is to build a more stable, respected career with stronger earning potential and better opportunities.
After working as a construction superintendent, I’ve realized the role doesn’t really fit my personality. I’m more reserved by nature, and I’ve found that constantly managing people, dealing with conflict, and working long hours isn’t where I do my best work.
My biggest concerns are that I don’t come from money, I still have debt from my first degree, and going back to school would likely mean taking on more student loans while working a part-time job to support myself. I also wouldn’t consider myself naturally gifted academically. I got through my first degree by taking shortcuts, and I know engineering is on a completely different level of difficulty.
I’m 26 years old, from Middle Tennessee, and trying to think long term. My priority is building a career that will allow me to provide well for my future family, even if it means starting over now.
For those who have been in a similar situation, do you think going back for an engineering degree is a smart investment, or would you recommend a different path? I’d really appreciate an honest second opinion before making such a major commitment.

Does anyone have photos of the single occupant ADA / Disabled dorms in New Hall North? It’s incredibly hard to gauge the full room from the photos on the website, and as an incoming freshman I’m eager to finish furnishing my room. Thank you so much and have a nice day :) !

Ph. D in geotechnical

2 Upvotes

For incoming international student, how is the Ph. D program? If the program is alredy started in a different university, how many credits can be transfered? How is the stay in university apartments, the rent seemed a little high? Or would off campus stay is better?

Apologies in advance for the block of questions. Due to some unforseen events I might have to pack up and start there in a month. I would really appreciate any information.

Computers in the dorms?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am an incoming freshmen CS student and was wondering about how computers in the dorms work? I've tried looking at techs website to see if I'm allowed to bring my PC into the dorms but I've only gotten that "Students are required to have a laptop for their studies, and internet access is provided for connecting devices."

Does Tech allow more power hungry PC towers, and if anyone else has this set up, is heat an issue?

Thanks!

Hi!

I have to take ECON 3810 - Intermediate Micro next semester, and I was wondering if anyone who has taken it with this professor is there and, if so, how he is. Cause his rate-my-professor ratings are so confusing.

Why is this school so obsessed with gender?

0 Upvotes

It’s jarring to me, and especially annoying because they don’t have the proper software updates in their heads; it’s the very outdated architecture of gender that runs on MPEG2 compression instead of AVC. I went to that special three-day lockdown last year where we watched Robots and Meet the Robinsons, and today I am in some two-day orientation. Not to mention I had already seen the dorm information years ago. All resources I mentioned had gender shoehorned into themselves and the social activities as if it’s the school’s fetish. Thankfully, my mother bought a place nearby I can stay at due to being trans and autistic, but I feel bad for anyone here who isn’t cishet and has to stay in the dorms. It seems like hell for you guys, yet I’m already unhappy I have to mask my entire self strongly because these people don’t have gender software updates in their head. Tech Will Be Hard

Organic chem help

7 Upvotes

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

Hello guys and gals,

We’re Brian and Mike and we teach general and organic chemistry. We’ve done so for a total combined time of 47 years! Overwhelmed by general or organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with chemistry may be, we’re here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with us?

- Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. We do.

- We tutor chemistry full time; it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with us, you’ll be working with Brian for general chemistry and Mike for organic chemistry. This is not an agency and you won’t be matched with random tutors each time.

- You’ll be learning problem solving through chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.

- Your learning will be customized to your specific needs.

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, our teaching styles, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you!

Mike and Brian

I’m starting graduate school at tech in the fall coming from nashville which is where i did my undergraduate degree. I know cookville is a pretty small town and certainly not the same as nashville but i was just wondering if current students had any recommendations? i’m not a big partier and am very much a homebody so night life and stuff like that isn’t the biggest deal to me but i’m just curious! best restaurants? places to avoid? let me know:) edit: i also should add that i’m a visibly gay butch lesbian so places where im least likely to get hatecrimed would be appreciated 😭

Hey all,

I’m visiting this week for the VIP transfer visit. I plan to get there early in the day to drive around the campus and town just to see and get a feel for things.

Looking for recommendations on things to see or do while I’m down?

Any good restaurants that are a must eat? Anything to special to see on campus? Any stores / down town spots to go to?

Just looking for recommendations to make the most of the visit.

Thanks!!

No more milkshakes at Chik-fil-a in the RUC?

6 Upvotes

Went to get a milkshake here today but it was absent from the menu on the kiosk. What gives?

Didn’t they do this last year? I could’ve sworn that during the last couple of weeks before summer last year, they stopped serving milkshakes then too. Does anyone know why? Is this a normal thing for them to do every year, or is it just that their ice cream machine broke and it happens to be around the same time as it did last year or something?

I was really looking forward to a cookies and cream milkshake :(

How hard is introduction to linear algebra?

3 Upvotes

I'm an EE major who is going to have to take Calc 2, CSC 1310, and English 2330 next semester. I am worried that if I take Linear with Calc 2 and CSC 1310, I will do badly in both those classes since I struggled in both Calc and CSC 1300. Is Linear algebra a hard class, or is it easy compared to those two?
