I graduated in May with a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, worked a summerstock show all summer, and I have orientation for a new job in a theme park on Saturday. It can work out.It sounds like you have two semesters left, but you can probably think of it as only having one semester...

This does not bode well for anyone if the experiment I did looking at the rotation of the earth is out of date in a few years! :p

Really interesting discussionAs a student I want to be employable, both now and in the future. In school I want to learn the basic concepts and have the opportunity to touch the really cool stuff that I may not see for a while since I'll be starting on the bottom of the totem pole in the...

As a college student, please just be aware that this is 2-3 weeks of groceries for me. There will probably be complaints about anything over $30 ("I'm already paying $$$ for tuition, why do I have to pay for this too?").My guess would also be that your kit (whatever it ends up being) would be...

How long would this have taken to design and program? Have they been working on this since Tomb Raider came out in March? The lighting is incredible!

Basically!*Physics warning!* Generally speaking, the weight of things points straight down. On an incline, this straight-down force can be thought of as two forces added together and corresponding to "along" the angle (the rake of the stage) plus "normal to" the angle (perpendicular to...

Just had a LA Times article pop up on my facebook feed: "Female-dominated Hollywood crafts jobs see gender bias, according to new study" The article focuses on a script supervisor, and the pay gap between women-dominated roles and comparable male-dominated roles. Near the bottom is a bit about...

Not that I was able to find. When I was looking at schools, I think Purdue had some sort of entertainment engineering minor, which appears to have transitioned into a Multidisciplinary Engineering major (ABET accredited) with a focus in Theatre Engineering. I did a quick look at ABET's...

Question on your (future) accreditation (hopefully, congrats!): why wait? UNLV was on my list of potential schools a couple of years ago, but I wanted an ABET-accredited program. UNLV at the time was eligible for accreditation (there were graduates), but it was not. Has something changed...

I may be going "off-target" here, but I do have some opinions that may be of interest.Yah, no. It's not inherent. It's been my opinion for quite some time that anyone can do *anything*, if they choose to put in the work. When I was in theatre school but studying to start an engineering...

If you're in a large city, I'd try looking for facebook groups. Or find a national group and ask if anyone is in your city.

Hm... do any of them cover safety or stage managing a fight scene particularly well? You're right, I'm not looking for actor-combatant training books, but a perspective outside of actor or director would be interesting.Well that's obnoxious. Sorry, I don't have any good solutions.

No relationship, it's just a handy and popular website.

Hey everyone,Over the last two-ish months, I’ve been compiling a book list, and last night I decided that it was finally at an acceptable level to release.So here it is:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-B3sxc84muWDigoa1qDSWLYXdY9HwnKIDB8Xhs0OITM/edit?usp=sharingThat link takes...
