Undergrads make a classic mistake when picking their courses
They’ll go for the “modern” ones (web dev, big data systems, mobile computing, <insert shiny object> here) when they should actually be going for the hard, fundamental courses (operating systems, computer architecture,…

So many things that can open up new paths:
- Watching the right movie
- Listening to the right podcast
- Moving to a new city
- Solving a hard question
- Starting a new project

You're spoiled for options if you graduate as an engineer today. You can work on hard problems like:
- Autonomous cars (Tesla, Cruise, Rivian)
- Drones and robotics (Anduril, Zipline, Uber, Tesla)
- Aerospace and space tech (SpaceX, Relativity, Astranis, Boom, Hermeus, 100s of…

Embrace your skill issues. Work on them. You are nothing without your skill issues. They give you purpose. Not a great engineer? Skill issue. Fix it. Not a great founder? Skill issue. Fix it. You can’t let your skill issues win

We actually did it. Hardcore engineering is cool again.
People wouldn't even think of going into hardware a few years ago. Now I see deeptech startups left, right and center. People are making software stacks streamlined for hardware. People want to solder components on PCBs.…

College should be about depth. I think that’s where we messed up. Weekly assignments and deadlines do not encourage depth
You know what does? Structured grokking of textbooks. Keep the same courses but have additional emphasis on absorbing textbooks

I love engineering. You don't understand. I love it. Everything around me has been engineered and iterated upon over thousands of years
The process of engineering is an algorithm. Create, deploy, iterate. As an engineer, I am responsible for the optimization of this algorithm.…

Can confirm. It is why I spend time after classes working on race cars. Most of our team's leads are hired directly by Tesla, Apple, SpaceX, etc.
If you are a hard tech startup, you NEED to hire from FSAE teams across the country. Insane work ethic and skills across the board
Two of SpaceX's senior execs Mark Juncosa and Bill Riley are Cornell grads who credit their engineering chops to the Formula1 project team (FSAE) in college.
Join clubs in college to actually building stuff together, not the "consulting club" which is just college kids chatting.
