I’m in the same boat this was my third time. Stay positive we haven’t failed again yet. It’s not happening... we three are passing I have read the tea leaves.  stay strong!!!!!

Yayyy even more solidarity! Thanks for the words of encouragement.  I hope the tea leaves are right!

What happens if you eat the tea leaves?  Does that mean automatic failure?  I've...ingested a lot of leaves, I think.

Ok so everyone talking about thermo has me thinking about the classes I thought I would fail, but ended up passing...to this day, I am shocked I did not fail Dynamics and Vibrations. Structural engineers, I salute you! That class was so hard and I was never so relieved to make a C!

What about you all, what class were you grateful for passing?

Mah, I need to budget better.  Went over my taco stipend yet again.

Structural Matrix analysis

I finished undergrad in Mechanical, Thermal/Fluids track.

Between all the degrees and almost 9 years of school I racked up enough chemistry and chemical engineering credits that I'd be able to qualify at a GS-1320 Chemist. Never was a chemistry minor though. Realistically I the chem courses I took, with one exception, never got above the technical level of Gen Chem 102, despite that I've taken a few graduate level chemistry classes! The exception was a graduate level Nuclear Chemical Engineering course. It was cross listed NE and ChE, and the work was done in interdisciplinary groups. The nukes did the nuclear stuff, the chemies did the chemical stuff. We both looked at the others work as if it was magic. So even then I wasn't really exposed to it.

Got to do some exotic heavy metal, and actinide chemistry, and some ultra high thermochemsitry professionally. But I was a manager on those projects so never had to do the technical nitty gritty myself.

I am so grateful that I didn't have to take statics or dynamics in college to get my ChE degree. Although in retrospect if I had known my career would actually be in mechanical engineering I may have made different choices.

Funny story - I took bowling as an elective for a grade. I got a D. If I had taken it pass/fail, I would have failed.

I don't know what that is, but it sounds awful.

I"m terrible at bowling so I would have gotten a D too!

Nah, thermo was really interesting and pretty straight forward once you realized that things can only go in a certain direction due to energy.  Like you can't suddenly combust, there needs to be a reason why.

It's almost as if the entire universe is governed by those two unbreakable laws.

Not that the zeroeth or third are any more unbreakable, but the first two are pretty damn important.

My then-boyfriend (now husband) bowled on leagues so it's endlessly funny to him that I'm so terrible at it. Last time we went bowling my 6 year old beat me . In my defense, I wasn't allowed to use the bumpers.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

lol i struggled through thermo AND MAYBE that explains why i'm here rn

Nah, you're here because its the spam thread and all are welcome.

Plus I don't think thermo matters much on the EnvE exam.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

less talk, more spam

this talk is spam

It was fun... sort of.  Except when the professor gave us a 1 hr 40 minute test, that took me over an hour to write out the matrices for one of the 4 problems.  So I didn't have time to solve the problem.  I still got an A.

*edit*

someone is upset about you giving notice...

stay safe!

^ post was about something at work

lmao welp there it goes.

i d idn't specify location or who's office they're at so it's probably fine?

Whoa, sounds like I missed something interesting.

I was grateful to pass my material mechanics course.  Everything was in Angstroms and I wanted to cry.

Also, my favorite class was horseback riding as gym.  Got to a really nice level/enjoyed it.  Was thinking about joining the polo team, but I pumped the brakes on that when I was in Junior year.

I think your tea addiction is becoming a problem
