    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    Well, thanks for the input. It comes down to "take what you can get, especially if it's in your field of interest" vs. "job won't be good, run". My main concern is not having a mentor I can go to who has the experience to draw upon. Nearly as important, not having like minded coworkers to work...

    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    Ah, right. There are of course issues with employment insurance, and I agree that being unemployed starts to look bad after a little while. It's worth noting that I'm working (have worked, and hoping to work) in the aerospace field.

    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    Yes, I am recently unemployed. Guess I should have mentioned it. I have around 1 year of experience and no job (through no fault of my own). Technically, taking some time is NOT going to kill me, since I moved in with family temporarily now and have low living costs. I can go for some time...

    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    Thanks for the input. I'm going to speak with them soon and bring up the issues I have directly in case I'm off the ball on some of them. It's just a tough position to be in. Little experience (although it ended because of company issues, not my own). I felt so lucky to get that first job as it...

    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    I don't think they've necessarily made that kind of assumption. As the 'main' company overseas has design authority, the liaising is probably the more important component, although they were looking for a 'design engineer'. Thanks for the input though. I'm more or less in line with the school...

    Developing and Working with other Engineers

    Greetings I'm still new to working. I have an undergrad and masters degree and about a year of experience. I've been given an offer but am a bit unsure of it because of the environment I'd be in. I came from a company where I was working with many other engineers directly that I liked. I...

    Air velocity and stall angle...

    The problem with looking at the kutta-joukowski stuff is that it was only established and founded for working with low angles of attack. At least to the extend I learned about it, there may well be much more to the theory on top of the 'circulation at trailing edge = 0' thing. I've been trying...

    Air velocity and stall angle...

    Hi, I'm not a professional - I'm currently in my last year of mech. eng. undergraduate, however I'm involved in a decent bit of airfoil stuff and have a couple projects involving them. One has me doing a lot of CFD analysis for airfoils through extreme angles of attack (and the normal ones...
