I, for one, agree with MJ about asking the right question. My current boss (for two more weeks) asks broad questions and expects exact answers. Sometimes he wants the details, sometimes just one word. If he doesn't get the answer in the amount of detail he wanted he will start to yell...
I agree with KENAT; don't be afraid to ask questions and write things down. You may have a really good memory, but you don't want to be caught off guard when you're asked about something you realize you had forgot. I have been working at a company where the boss changes his mind every five...
I am designing an o-ring groove or gland on a pressure vessel for 150 psi helium gas. The pressure is internal and requires an axial or face seal.

Thank you, everyone, for your posts. I really appreciate it. I am sorry to hear that so many of you have had similar experiences.
I have decided to let things "roll off my back" and my work ethic (and performance) has improved. I am learning a lot about how to interact with people (one of my...
I have been working at a small company (6 person) for the past 4 months and I am seriously considering quitting or going back to school and changing professions. I was hoping to get people's comments and opinions on:
1) What your engineering career is like in terms of task difficulty...
Two,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, we are not looking at the worst case nor steady state. I should have specified that we are looking at the heat-up time from start until we reach steady state for the WC/Co. The steady state temperature at the WC/Co is about 50% the heater. This...
I am a recent graduate, at my first job, and I have been asked to model the heat transfer of a gas flow system. I have several questions regarding my assumptions and how to approach the problem. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.
SYSTEM:
Helium Gas Source -> Gas Heater (3750 Watt...
