I’m looking to get a job at a company that deals extensively with hydraulics. But, all I have on the subject is from my old controls textbooks. If there are any good online sources if info, it would be appreciated. In return I give you this: [http://www.cmu.edu/oli/index.html](http://www.cmu.edu/oli/index.html) You can do some online learning too. ---

Hydraulics does not seem difficult in theory… But like everything, 80% of the work is in the details. A friend sent me this… [http://www.servovalve.com/technical.htm](http://www.servovalve.com/technical.htm) Although, the thought of six 10 hour days and every other Sunday is not attractive… The professional and personal growth potential is. ---

I hear thats what they do to temps. I’m not sure how they treat their engineering staff. I also hear that they rarely hire off the street. ---

Well… Here is a lot more online course stuff > **[MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials](https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm)** > > Unlocking knowledge, empowering minds. Free course notes, videos, instructor insights and more from MIT. They only offer 1800 courses. That could keep me entertained for years. ---
