I'm talking about engineering grad school (MS). When I say entrepreneur I'm talking R&D for new products/technology/small start-up. Would it be more useful to: A. Keep an existing full time job while going to school part time (paid for by the company with 3 years service after degree)...

See if you can get some professionally drawn parts and assembly drawings. That will be a huge help.

Make sure it's a private school loan. That way you will be able to defer payment. I got one during my undergrad from JP Morgan/Chase/American Education Services. Interest is not that low but it's sure lower than a credit card or normal personal loan.

Can stellar MS grades make up for mediocre undergrad in the eyes of PhD programs?

If you can get it in bar stock you shouldn't have a problem machining it.

Has anyone here used the open source Octave as opposed to Matlab? I don't have access to Matlab right now and Octave claims to be compatible to a high extent. Will I run into trouble if I learn Octave thoroughly then have to switch to Matlab for collaborative reasons?

You're only in 12th grade. Go take some stuff apart. Build a bicycle. Learn how to weld. Have fun. Learn calculus in the fall.

You'd need to make sure energy doesn't leave the system if you don't want to have a compressor in there somewhere. You can find air actuators and valves at Mcmaster-carr.

CTRL + SHIFT + PRNT SCRN (takes a snapshot of your screen) paste into MS paint and save as a JPEG

That was beautiful...

Why not specialize in nuclear engineering in grad school?

Don't forget chemistry... galvanic corrosion.

I'd start with the first law.
