Full circle indeed!!!Awesome! Great full circle moment! Big props to you and your family!
Nailed it!Curiousity, passion, attitude, and grit is where its at.
In other news @Cowboy45 also got admitted to the Mechanical Engineering program at A&M. Kinda ridiculous bar to get in. As a freshman they are not guaranteed their major. They have to be in general engineering for a year and meet a GPA cutoff. When @SipLife got it it was 3.5. They raised that to 3.75 by the time @Cowboy45 was considering. @Cowboy45 was off by 0.02 to get auto admitted. A&M has a holistic review process for those that do not auto admit. Both @SipLife and @Cowboy45 both went through holistic review. Part of the process is making your case for being a mechanical engineer. Their barn work played a huge part. Not many had this awareness or experience going in. What is ridiculous is that there are great test takers (that dont know which side of a screw driver to use) that get in but I would never hire. Told both boys to keep it real and get practical. @SipLife graduated and is at his job that has him engineering innthe prototyping shop adjacent to senior mechanics that are shaping design. @Cowboy45 is heavy into the baja racing team which is a practical pressure cooker for technical and soft skills. He gets to lead the gearbox design for next year’s rig while doing his coursework. His wheels are turning!!!!
Told both of them to walk out better, GPA behaviour to take a back seat. No tests or curriculum in the real world. Curiousity, passion, attitude, and grit is where its at.
Yup. I work as a designer in the machine tool industry, and I see results come from people with those qualities. Whereas the GPA only folks often stagnate off in a corner or up and quit.No tests or curriculum in the real world. Curiousity, passion, attitude, and grit is where its at.
