by Kim Porter — Skoolmakers Rating

The Engineering Exchange, run by Kim Porter, is a private community for engineers who want to learn practical, real-world engineering rather than theory. Members connect to build hands-on skills, network with peers, and share real-world experience. The community runs live weekly Q&A sessions and intro Zoom meetings, plus twice-monthly masterclass deep-dives on topics like development processes and prototyping. Members also get free resume reviews and career mentoring, along with recorded sessions and ongoing support. The focus is explicitly on real parts, real decisions, and manufacturing constraints, guided by community principles such as discussing real components, avoiding purely theoretical answers, asking 'why' before 'how,' and respecting manufacturing and vendors. It is aimed at engineers seeking mentorship, networking, and practical experience sharing. Membership is $10/month.
