AI Thread Summary
A final-year physics student seeks advice on applying for the APS Student Ambassadorship, noting that the application requires at least one year of studies remaining, while they have only 11 months left. Forum participants emphasize the importance of directly contacting APS for clarification on eligibility, as only they can provide an official answer. The consensus is that the one-month difference may be significant, and speculative discussions are unproductive without APS input. Ultimately, reaching out to APS is the recommended course of action to determine if the application can be considered. Engaging with APS will provide the most accurate guidance regarding eligibility.

Hi. I am currently a 3rd (Final) Year Physics Student. The degree in my country is of three years and I will be graduating after a period of 11 months from now.

I wish to apply for APS Student Ambassadorship. However the stipulations on the form state that I must have atleast an year of studies remaining when I make the application. Since in my case the remaining period is of 11 months should I even apply for it? I mean will my application be even considered and is it worth applying?

I request you all to guide me and share your thoughts on the same

Perhaps you should contact the APS and ask them.
 
Yes. The above is the only suitable response. Only APS can tell you whether you are or are not eligible..
 
Agreed, you should contact the APS. But you should be prepared for an unfavorable answer, as they say they want 12 months remaining and you say you have 11.
 
11 or 12 months; is the difference small enough or is absolutely 12 months the minimum (is what you'll need to ask)? Why let one-month difference stop you?
 
There's really no point in further speculative responses. Unless there is a member here who coincidentally works for APS, and is willing to state for the record on this public forum the official position of the APS on this issue, we should simply advise the OP to contact the APS, without further comment.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
