AI Thread Summary
Top engineering companies in the US for COOP/internships include Halliburton, which is noted for providing a positive experience, while National Instruments and General Electric have received negative feedback regarding their treatment of interns. The definition of a "good" company varies based on individual preferences and career goals, as different experiences resonate differently with each person. It's essential to consider how an internship can enhance employability and prepare candidates for permanent positions. Ultimately, personal fit and company culture play significant roles in determining the best internship experience. Engaging with multiple sources can provide a broader perspective on potential employers.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good engineering companies to work for...in the US...

I'm working on getting a COOP/Internship;

I wanted one with National Instruments but I heard that they don't treat you right??

Also General Electric wasn't supposed to be good either. I heard Halliburton was a good one to work for. I am basing all of this on one source. So if you know of any 'good' companies...please let me know. I think 'good' means working for them prepares you greatly for a permanent job and also makes you a more desireable canidate for hire.

But I'm new to the big-company type job.

The best company to work for is going to depend on the person themselves. What I like is not going to be the same for you. That's the same as asking what the best food to eat is.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
