Aerospace Engineer here who uses calculus every day. :toot:

All you engineers that say you never need any of the stuff you learned in school are doing it wrong.

Through my first few years of undergrad I always heard people saying that you never really need to use most of the math and theory that you're taught. Then I got my first internship in an aerospace company, and it was used EVERYWHERE. Really opened my eyes and made me work much harder in school, trying to truly learn and understand as opposed to just doing what it takes to get good grades.

I have a career path question. I recently graduated with a BSME and I'm about to get a job offer from a company that does planning, design and construction for high tech manufacturing facilities. It will mostly be HVAC work, which is not a field that I'm particularly interested in but I don't know how picky I can be in this job market (and it may turn out that I really enjoy it). If I want to change fields after a few years to something unrelated (dream job would be design work for tidal or wave power generators), would the unrelated experience be a hindrance?

Anyone hiring interns?

I interned at Medtronic last summer, they may have something that would be interesting for you. I was in their microelectronics manufacturing facility and I saw some openings last week but they appear to be gone now. There are some openings in other locations though.
