rc engineer?
i was thinkin can u become a rc engineer and where woud you have to go to be one?
|
RE: rc engineer?
Mechanical Engineering - University, although I bet Traxxas' Design Technicians do most of the engineering and they contract the more complex stuff like suspension geometry.Send HWS all your RCs!!!!!

RE: rc engineer?
well is there a way that u could become a engineer for a big company like losi, associated, or traxxas?

ORIGINAL: Split7 well is there a way that u could become a engineer for a big company like losi, associated, or traxxas? Do well at school, and get a degree at a good collage. |
RE: rc engineer?
I think the only way to find out (unless someone here has experience) is to contact them and ask. You can find contact info on their sites. If you are going to send an email you should spellcheck it. Send HWS all your RCs!!!!!

If you are going to send an email you should spellcheck it. Send HWS all your RCs!!!!! and use big people language not text speak |
RE: rc engineer?
you'd be looking at ME and automotive technology.

RE: rc engineer?
Engineering is logic. Not everyone can be an engineer, like not everyone can be a good tradesperson. First of all, do you have that way of thinking ? If you think you do, and your serious, then save your money and start buying tools. Buy hand tools, air tools, battery and power tools, a mill, a lathe, a mig, an oxy torch, ect. Then start working. You learn by doing. If you have success, gain experience, theres no need for any formal qualifications, you only need the skill. Go and show them what you can do, and you'l be hired. |
RE: rc engineer?
an engineer is not a machinist Tommy:eek:
|
RE: rc engineer?
Yeah, engineering is NOT knowing how to use tools in a shop. Engineering is knowing the mathematics and physics behind the design.

RE: rc engineer?
Yeah - lets not confuse vocational training with an engineering degree. They're completely different things.

RE: rc engineer?
Machining is part of engineering design, you have to know exactly which tools can do what when you design things. Most RC parts are injection molded so there isn't much that can't be done. Machining knowledge isn't useless to engineering but it isn't the same thing.

RE: rc engineer?
there was a 1 trimester machining class (all fluff, easy stuff) on my way to a ME degree
keep in mind, if you want to work somewhere "cool" like an RC company or whatnot, companies that people think are "fun" usually pay less than companies that aren't as glamorous |
RE: rc engineer?
Indeed. I spend many a day stuffed into a windowless lab sitting at a computer using designing motors in CAD.
