    What do all the useless engineering graduates do for work?

    What do all the useless engineering graduates do for work?

    If I'm understanding your point correctly, I think I can relate to what your asking about. I graduated right in the great recession at a point when I really wasn't sure what I was going to do. The company I had interned with, and expected to get a job at, went belly up just about 1 year before I...

    And again 4th year in a row

    Big if true. - Andrew

    Formulation

    In my experience, which includes over a decade of formulating in the beginning of my career, a hiatus into general plant engineering, and now a dive back into formulating; formulating existing and new products is best learned from experienced coworkers. Being able to look at the existing...

    Which internship is better for career growth? (Corrosion or Quality Control)

    With the feedback you've received from the two managers, I would like to change my initial advice to the corrosion pipeline position. That manager has a clear vision of what they expect from you and it sounds like you will gain better experience there. - Andrew

    Conversion from mg/l to ppm

    More accurately, 1 mg/kg = 1 ppm. But 1 kg of water is equal to 1 L of water, which is why that convention is often used. Regardless of dispersion or solubility, if you have the mass of one component in a solution, mixture, emulsion, etc. and you know the mass of the whole, you can figure out...

    Which internship is better for career growth? (Corrosion or Quality Control)

    If it were me, with the experience I have now, I'd expect you would personally get more useful experience from the MQM position at this stage. It kind of depends on where you expect/intend to land after school, but if you're looking broadly, the MQM experience is more translatable across...

    Need more $$$, thinking about changing careers or doing side work.

    This is a superb series of posts......simply excellent [lol] - Andrew

    Cumulative UFO sightings and Global surface temperature anomaly

    Good to see the new Eng-Tips management has a loose grip on content moderation. Wait a minute! Eng-Tips....ET! It all makes sense now. - Andrew

    Earth radiates heat to what?

    In space, no one can hear you sigh. - Andrew

    Climate science ... settled ?

    "the science is settled" - Andrew

    Climate science ... settled ?

    I despise hearing that phrase from people. I especially despise hearing it from technically educated people, who should know better. - Andrew

    Earth radiates heat to what?

    I believe it is mostly infrared radiation; which can travel through vacuum, as far as I know. - Andrew

    Fire destroys one of the two largest wood structures in the world...

    IRstuff, were you in Hangar 1 (the big one), or in one of the shorter wood ones? Hangar 1 is mostly steel. - Andrew

    Fire destroys one of the two largest wood structures in the world...

    I don't know if I ever knew Hangars #5 and #6 here in Lakehurst were wooden. I've spent a good amount of time in Hangar 1, but I don't know if I've ever even been in Hangars 5 or 6. There was a big to-do after the Sandy storm damaged one of them because of the roof height, but fire risk wasn't...

    Dilution and Specific Gravity

    Yes, to bolster IRstuff's comment and your own plan. Setting an acceptable refractive index range is a pretty darn reliable way to field-test coolant concentration once you know your reference points. - Andrew

    How bad is oil?

    To condense it, it basically says: oil spills aren't so bad because there is so much natural seepage and there are ecosystems of things like tubeworms that feed off the seepage, so oil spills aren't so bad. Yes, natural oil seepage happens, and cool, the natural systems are able to adapt to...

    How bad is oil?

    Yeah, that was the entire subject of the OP article. - Andrew
