This channel was created to guide you through your Engineering journey. Growing up I never had a mentor or a person to look up to and guide me. I plan to make this channel your guide so you can see for yourself that you anything you set your mind to is possible. #GoBeyondEngineering
I started at Pre-Calc and Trig my first semester of Spring ‘21. I have taken 13-15 credits per semester and 3-6 during the summer. Im betting I’ll graduate in 2 more semester Spring or Fall of 2025 because schools only offer some classes once a year.
We all take the same classes until your senior year and some electives. Some colleges offer certificates for undergrads and also have masters degrees specializing.
I thought i was a genius and smart from birth . Electrical engineering degree changed my perspective 💀 im in top3 university in my country , exams are way harder
I’m about to graduate with my bachelor of science in chemical engineering next year in may of 2024 I will say this the starting salary is between 71-75k for most engineers. This was reported by a survey my professional development professor gave out to graduated students. Some started in the 93k+ range but were oil and gas engineers typically. There’s a lot you need to afford besides the car. Maybe you want to own a home? Do you have student loans as well? Spending 2000 or even 1500 a month on a car if it’s as much as 40% of your net pay is absurd and very childish, don’t hate on me just trying to say the same thing the older wiser sibling or mature father would say. I know you “want it” you have to be strategic with your spending. It’s better to invest that money in a possible second income stream than to buy a vehicle that’s likely just a depreciating asset and is only a flashy thing to impress others. There are great cars you can buy that are cheaper but won’t cost your 40% or more of your yearly income. Be smart and wise young engineers don’t fall into a bad financial situation.
Hi, my son loves both CalPoly SLO and UC Davis for Electrical Engineering. We went to acceptance, engineering and housing tours at SLO. Sadly, they just walked past by the EE labs since tour was led by 2 mechanical engineers but we went to cubesat club lab and it was mind blowing with students at CalPoly do. We also talked to a some engineering students who were happy over there. Housing tour was just from the outside, old buildings except one but super nice campus location. Dining at SLO is pay to order (no buffet, no worries he's not a big eater like his dad). We went to UCD Aggie Day (Aceptance day) - dining is buffet style, housing tour was nice, we could see the dorm inside, EE labs were amazing with some professors did an open house presentation. A notable Prof. Rashtian who spent at least half an hour for our questions, this man really knows the curicullum and passionate about teaching. So, we are really confused - my son can't decide. The interaction with Prof. Rashtian at UCD is definitely very exciting but the upbeat CalPoly students give the fun vibe for my son. No scholarship so far and UCD is at least 7K more, I let my son decide ultimately but I'd love to hear your further comment between these two. Thank you!
Well, you asked so… While several UC universities are very good, other than Berkeley none of them (in my opinion) compared to private universities like Stanford University and the University of Southern California… First off, Stanford University is known for its very well known for strong engineering programs due to several factors, including: Faculty: Stanford has a highly distinguished faculty in engineering, with numerous professors who are leaders in their respective fields. This attracts top students and encourages cutting-edge research. Research: Stanford is one of the top research universities in the world, with a long history of innovation and entrepreneurship. Many of the most significant technological advancements of the past few decades have originated from Stanford research, such as Google, Hewlett-Packard, and Yahoo. Resources: Stanford has invested heavily in its engineering programs, with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. This provides students with the tools they need to conduct advanced research and develop new technologies. Entrepreneurial spirit: Stanford has a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, with a long history of producing successful startups. This spirit is infused into the engineering programs, with students encouraged to develop their ideas into real-world solutions. The University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering has a well-known engineering school with a strong reputation for innovation and research usually ranked in the top fifteen engineering schools in America(not just CA), some ranking closer to the top ten. USC's Viterbi School’s alumni have gone on to make significant contributions to various fields of engineering like… Industry partnerships: USC has strong connections to the technology industry and partners with many companies to provide students with hands-on experience and networking opportunities. Entrepreneurial spirit: USC has a strong culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, with resources such as the USC Stevens Center for Innovation to support students and faculty in developing their ideas. Small class sizes: USC's engineering classes tend to be smaller than those at many other universities, allowing for more individual attention and opportunities for collaboration with professors and peers. Robotics: USC Viterbi is a leader in robotics research, with a focus on developing robots that can operate in complex and dynamic environments. The school's researchers have made contributions to fields such as autonomous vehicles, soft robotics, and medical robotics. Biomedical engineering: USC Viterbi has a strong biomedical engineering program that focuses on developing new technologies for healthcare. Some of the school's notable contributions include the development of new medical imaging techniques, wearable health monitoring devices, and artificial organs. Computer science: USC Viterbi has a top-ranked computer science program, with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The school's researchers have made contributions to areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and data science. Sustainability: USC Viterbi has a strong sustainability program that focuses on developing new technologies for clean energy and reducing environmental impacts. The school's researchers have made contributions to fields such as renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and green building design. A note: I deliberately left off Caltech, because it (in my opinion) is in a different league more comparable with MIT(I consider these two private, elite schools the best trade schools you’ll ever go to!). Ok, that’s enough this post is already too long! My first statement was just a generalization, but since you asked for specifics I hope you read through all this…
I came to know that there is not such a engineering called ece (electronics and communication engineering) in abroad. But it's one of the famous degrees in India. Some say ece in India is similar to ee (electronics engineering) in abroad. Is it really true? And will I have any disadvantage if I go for pg in abroad after completing ug in ece in India?
Curious about becoming a EE student but my main curiosity is towards development. Does anyone know how much EE students get to research and design or would that be more science?
Yes there is a lot of research and development in this field. You would need to go further in education(PHD) and you would definitely be able to work on research.
thanks bro it inspired me a lot i am also in your situation right now i am going to start my mechanical engineering bachelors this October can wait to prove the haters wrong
5 years ago I was a junior in high school and decided I wanted to pursue an electrical engineering degree. I distinctly remember watching this video and feeling a bit intimidated, I was an average high school student at best. I am happy to say that in just a couple months I will be graduating with a bachelors in electrical engineering, and will likely achive an even higher gpa than I had in high school. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for this comment! It makes me very happy to know that this video made a difference in someone life! Congratulations and good luck on your career!
I want to buy a porsche too lol, at the same time, I wanna stack a ton of cash, so yeahh, same as you, I will probably not buy porsche, instead save the money.
Buying a house is still 100% worth it because of the appreciation in value, while money loses its value. Imagine house prices 30 years ago and the power of a dollar. You could buy a lot with $1, and houses used to be a small fraction of what they are today. 30 years later, however, you can't buy anything for a dollar, and houses have ~10x in cost. And on top of all that, that house you buy can be passed down to future generations (or sold and the money split up amongst your beneficiaries, etc) to set them up on a good track. If you rent, there is nothing to show for it.
I’m currently studying electrical engineering and I’m hating my life rn. Don’t study it unless you’re a nerd. If you want to have the best time in college go do any other degree
Yes it’s tough in college seeing all your friends go out while you’re indoors studying…but once you start your career it will all be worth it. You’ll be getting multiple job offers while your friends will be struggling. I’ve been out of school for 6 years now and all my friends who changed from Engineering to other fields struggled to start their careers
