Njengomakhi webhulokhi osemncane, ubuyithanda i-LEGO futhi ubuzondiza unqamule amakhithi ngaphambi kokudlulela ngokushesha ngale kokufundisa ukwakha eyakho indalo ehlukile usebenzisa izinto eziphuma endlini.

Uthande imidlalo ye-puzzle namathoyizi anezindlela ezifana ne-Mouse Trap nama-Transformers. Mhlawumbe abazali bakho baqale ukukuvumela ukuba uhlukanise izinto zikagesi eziphukile. Ngezinye izikhathi wawukwazi ukulungisa izinto zikagesi, futhi ngezinye izikhathi, kahle, zaphuka kwasekuqaleni. Bese kuba high school. Uthole ukuthi unekhono lezibalo nesayensi. Uthathe i-geometry ne-physics futhi wathanda izinhlelo zokusebenza zomhlaba wangempela. Wabe usujoyina ithimba LOKUQALA lamarobhothi futhi wabona ukuthi yilokhu obufuna ukukwenza.

Indaba yami leyo. Uzwakala ujwayelekile?

Izindaba ezimnandi: Bathi uma ukhetha umsebenzi ukuze uthole impambano yalokho othanda ukukwenza, usezingeni eliphezulu, nokuthi kunesidingo sani semakethe. Uma ubunjiniyela bokuklama buwela kuleyo ndawo emnandi kuwe, kusho ukuthi uhamba phambili kakhulu.

Izindaba ezimbi: I-LEGO ithengisa izitini eziningi.

Ngivumele ukuthi ngabelane ngezinye zezifundo engifisa sengathi ngabe othile ubengaba nami emgwaqeni wami osuka e-MircroMachines uya ku-mega electromechanical assembly.

Funda Ikhathalogi ye-McMaster Carr

Leli thiphu kufanele livele libizwe ngokuthi “zuza ulwazi lwemboni” kodwa bengifuna ukubeka iphuzu.

Thola ikhophi Yekhathalogi ye-McMaster-Carr (noma ifunde ku-inthanethi). Fafaza upende igolide langaphandle bese ulithwala nawe, Landa uhlelo lokusebenza! Kodwa seriously, funda. Okungcono izikhathi ezimbalwa.

Okumangalisa kakhulu nge-McMaster Catalogue akubona nje ububanzi bezinto abazithengisayo, kodwa futhi nezithombe, izincazelo, nezincazelo. Khona-ke uma usuqedile ngalokho, ungadlulela ku- I-Parker O-Ring Handbook, ngakho-ke I-Loctite Adhesive Sourcebook, bese kuba umsebenzi we izinganekwane zakudala, bese kuba namakhathalogi engeziwe. Lawa ama-cornucopias olwazi lwamahhala abangakufundisi esikoleni. Funda ngamashejuli wamapayipi, izinhlobo zokubopha, namageji ensimbi eshidi. Yiba isipontshi, futhi ugcwalise ikhanda lakho ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezinto ezithakazelisayo, okuzokwenza ube ngumuntu omubi kakhulu obekwe eceleni komshado. Inhloso ukuthuthukisa ulwazi olubanzi lwalokho okutholakalayo, ukuze kuthi lapho usebenza kuphrojekthi, wazi endaweni ethile engqondweni yakho ucezu olufanele lwehadiwe olukhona futhi ungahamba uluzingele. Ukuzuza ulwazi lwemboni kuyinqubo engapheli njengonjiniyela wokuklama, kodwa ngokuthola isisekelo ungakhuphuka usuke ebhandeni elimhlophe, okunganele ukukungenisa ku-dojo.

Zilungiselele Ukuqala Okusha

Kungenzeka ukuthi ubukade ungukapteni womncintiswano wokuklama i-Truckasaurus wesikole sakho…futhi isikole sakho kungenzeka ukuthi sehlule zonke ezinye i-Truckasauri (ubuningi be-Truckasurus) emqhudelwaneni kazwelonke. Huzzah!

Kufanele uziqhenye kakhulu.

Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi bekunobusuku obuningi bamuva nokuhlangana kanye nombukiso wamaslayidi omuhle ekugcineni. Nokho, umsebenzi owufakelayo akukona ukudizayina i-Truckasauri, futhi isikhundla osifakayo akusona esomphathi wephrojekthi. Ikhanda lakho lingase ligcwele ulwazi, inhliziyo yakho igcwele injabulo futhi uzizwa ulungele ukuthatha umhlaba ngesivunguvungu. Ku-resume yakho, gxila kakhulu kumakhono athile owazuzile ngokusebenzisa isipiliyoni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lokho kunolwazi lwe-prototyping noma ulwazi lwe-CAD. Ukusuka ekubeni yingxenye yephrojekthi efana naleyo ukuya ekusebenzeni ngewijethi encane kungase kuzwe sengathi ubuyela emuva, kodwa empeleni kuyingxenye yesigaba esilandelayo. Cabanga ngakho ngale ndlela, uma emdlalweni wevidiyo ngemva kokuhlula umphathi wokuqala umdlalo usuphelile lokho kungaba umdlalo omuhle oyisicefe. Ufuna ukuphuma futhi uthuthukise amakhono engeziwe ukuze ukwazi ukuthatha umphathi onamakhanda amaningi okujikijela amabhola omlilo kuwe ngokushesha okukhulu. Futhi ungakhathazeki, uzobe usendleleni phezu kwekhanda lakho ngokushesha. Ngolunye usuku, lapho ungumsunguli kanye ne-CEO ye-Truckasauri Corp, ungacabanga emuva ngokulangazelela emgwaqeni omude nomazombezombe owakuthatha ukuze ufike lapho, bese ubheka indawo eshisiwe ibutho lakho lomlindi onohlonze u-Truckasauri adale futhi ucabange. “Ngenzeni?”

Yiba i-CAD Ninja

I-Solidworks iyithuluzi lokuqala lokuklama engilisebenzisa ngosuku nosuku ngesisekelo sebha akukho.

Uma bengibheke ukuqasha umuntu, futhi engakwazi ukukusebenzisa, lokho kukhawulela inani lomsebenzi engingakwazi ukuwulayisha kuye, futhi ngokuphambene, lapho bengawusebenzisa kakhulu, kulapho ngingakwazi ukukhulula khona. I-SolidWorks inesabelo semakethe esikhulu kunazo zonke, ngakho-ke iwukubheja okuphephile kodwa ungathola inkampani ethile. Uma ungumfundi ungathola amaphakheji ngemali ephansi, futhi uqale ukufunda okokufundisa, noma uthole isivivinyo samahhala sezinsuku ezingamashumi amathathu kanye ne-cram. Uma ulitholile leli khasi lewebhu kusho ukuthi usemgudwini olungile. Bheka u-Adam O'Hern's CadJunkie kanye nezifundo zika-Matt Perez. Dlula kumaphakheji esitifiketi eSolidWorks (noma okulinganayo). Ezinye zalezi zinto zibiza imali, kodwa qaphela ukuthi uzitshala kuwena, futhi uthuthukisa ikhono elithengiswayo nelidingeka kakhulu. Bese uthatha iphrojekthi enkulu yokumodela. Ngincoma okuthile okunezingxenye eziningi, okubonisa ikhono lokumodela imihlangano eyinkimbinkimbi, futhi mhlawumbe nezindawo ezifana nemoto yakho noma ibhayisikili. Bese wenza ukunikezwa okubukeka kahle kwe-3D. I-resume yakho isanda kukhishwa inothi. BAM! I-mastering software ye-CAD kuwumsebenzi omkhulu, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa wonke ama-add ins kanye nemvelo eguqukayo njalo. Yenza konke okusemandleni akho ukuze uzuze ubuciko obujwayelekile, futhi ucabange ukukhetha ukwengeza phakathi noma okubili. Ukwenza kahle imidwebo noma ishidi lensimbi lilodwa kungase kube ngokwanele ukuthola lowo msebenzi wokuqala.

Ama-Internship kanye nama-Co-ops

Kuyadabukisa, kodwa ngokuvamile izinkampani azibaqashi abaqeqeshwayo, ngoba kunenkolelo yokuthi inani lokugada elidingekayo lidlula izinzuzo zomsebenzi ezingaba khona.

Onjiniyela abasebenza ngokweqile ngokuvamile bafuna umuntu ongangena ngokushesha, futhi angabonwa kafushane nganoma yiziphi izindleko zesikhathi sokuqala uma kuqhathaniswa nezinzuzo zesikhathi eside. Kungaba khona ijika elikhulu lokufunda ekujwayelaneni nemikhiqizo yangaphakathi yenkampani, ngaphezu kwezinqubomgomo namasiko, namafasitela okufundela umsebenzi angaba mafushane. Ezinye izinkampani zizobeka eceleni amaphrojekthi anosayizi ofanele kanye nobubanzi, futhi ngokuvamile ngaphansi kwesigaba "sokuhle ukuba nakho". Lezi kungaba izinto ezifana nokuhlola ukuhlola, ukudizayina ucezu lwesisetshenziswa esizosetshenziswa ngaphakathi, noma amathuluzi angokwezifiso njengesikrudrayiva esingakwesokunxele. Lapho izinhlelo ze-internship zenziwa kahle, zingazuzisa kakhulu. Kumqashi, kungaba yindlela yokuthola umsebenzi obiza kancane, nodokotela wezilwane kanye nokuqeqesha abantu endaweni enobungozi obuncane, njengengxenye yohlelo lokuphakela abasebenzi bakusasa. Kumsebenzi, kungaba yindlela enhle yokuthola unyawo lwakho emnyango, futhi uthole imboni ethile futhi uqalise kabusha isipiliyoni. Zimisele ukusebenza ama-semesters, ngaphandle kwehlobo. Cabanga ngezinkampani ezincane, njengoba kungenzeka zidinga usizo kakhulu, futhi zinezinsiza ezincane zokuzibekela ukuqasha, zombili ezingakusebenzela. Yiba matasa futhi ufinyelele kubo ubuze ukuthi bayaqasha yini nokuthi yimaphi amakhono abawafunayo. Cabanga ngenkampani njengoRhino, izinkinga zabo ziyizinambuzane emhlane wabo, futhi wena uyinyoni ezodla lezo zinambuzane.

Yazi Ababukeli Bakho Nokuzikhandla

Ukwenqatshwa kuyingxenye yenqubo, kodwa ungahlali phansi isikhathi eside.

Vuka nsuku zonke, gqoka ivolumu ye-Jock Jams oyikhethayo, zibuke esibukweni, futhi uzitshele iziqinisekiso (ukuguquguquka nokukhomba ngomunwe kuyinketho). Cabanga ngocha ngamunye njengesifundo samahhala, kanye nesithiyo esisodwa endleleni eya kuyebo (kuyasebenza nasekuzameni ukuthola usuku). Bengikuzo zombili izinhlangothi zesibalo sokuqasha futhi kuseyimpicabadala. Ngokuqinisekile kunenani elikhulu lenhlanhla nesikhathi esihle esihilelekile. Manje njengoba izinto sezenziwe cishe ngokuphelele ku-inthanethi, isinyathelo sokuqala sokuhlunga kabusha i-algorithm ethile ethuthukisiwe, noma igumbi eligcwele izinkawu ezisebenzisa ukuqalisa kabusha ukunwaya izinqe zazo. Noma iyiphi indlela, qiniseka ukuthi ufaka igama eliyisihluthulelo elithi "ubhanana". Qhubeka uzama ukuthola izindlela zokuzihlukanisa nenqwaba. Bhala ikhava yezinhlamvu eziqondene nawe. Hlala ugxile kulokho ongakunikeza inkampani, hhayi ukuthi kungani ufuna umsebenzi, futhi usebenzise ukuhlola ukupela ngokugcwele. Ngize ngathumela ngisho namakhophi aqinile, futhi ngafaka nekhadi lebhizinisi le-plastic laser cut kinetic elinomshini we-geneva. Ingxenye enzima ngokuvamile kungaba nje ukuthola leyo interview yokuqala. Khona-ke ungababonisa ukuthi usebenza kanzima kangakanani, unekhono, futhi kumnandi kangakanani ukuba nawe.

Yize ngikholwa ukuthi bekukhona amagugu ambalwa lapha, lokhu akuphathelene nezinqamuleli nama-hacks. Empilweni izinto eziningi okufanele zenziwe zinzima futhi ziyaphikelela. Ngikholwa ngokweqiniso ukuthi kunethalente elikhulu futhi ngiyalikhipha lapho, nesidingo sangempela salelo thalente.

Isifiso sami kungaba ukuqhubeka nokuthola izindlela ezingcono zokuvala lelo gebe. Ake ngikushiye nalesi sisho:

“Izindonga zezitini zikhona ngesizathu. Izindonga zezitini azikho ukuze siphume. Izindonga zezitini zikhona ukuze zisinike ithuba lokubonisa ukuthi siyifuna kabi kangakanani into. Ngoba izindonga zezitini zikhona ukuvimba abantu abangakufuni kabi ngokwanele. Bakhona ukuzomisa abanye abantu.”
