Oil and gas. Pepetroleum engineering and Drilling jobs. Mechanical engineering (or other) to get into the field. Oil field carrer paths. Masters degree that complement a engineering degree. Also, were you totally terrified as a new engineering student? How did you start out and overcome? I just think about making the decision to decide on engineering and it becomes overwhelming. Also. My MAJOR obstacle is how to pay for school? Working full time and paying bills. Just go to school part time? Inspired by your excellence. I enjoy njoy your work.
I would note that Architect roles are senior roles for very experienced people with a minimum of 10+ years of experience. It's like a super long-term goal of a job since you need to have a ton of experience managing teams and deploying software.
Yup that’s coming :) have you seen my computer engineering video? “What Do Computer Engineers Do” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hiL-cTbz188.html ? A lot of CPEs want to be mechatronics engineers - have you seen these? “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4YjLZcQRLds.html . “Is Mechatronics Engineering a Good Career? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UkPKlA6j0f8.html Here is my EE Job Tier list in case you missed it. CPEs are EEs. “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6r3hG_zA8d8.html Let me know what I can help you with next okay? Until that video comes out :) thanks so much talk soon love you
Great work! This taught me a lot. One thing I want to mention is that you don't need to have a degree to do /any/ of these jobs. I'm working as a fullstack/cloud developer with 0 traditional education. Looking forward to see your new work!
Thanks Rose! Glad you're here to support the video, appreciate that. And yeah its cool that a lot of EEs can become full-on software developers and engineers, cheers
Woah, you really look like you back in the earlier days of this channel with the whole Professional Stubble and Shirt package. I guess that's just what has to happen when you're in the industry.
Hey thanks for the comment. Which one are you talking about? The robots that Amazon use to move pallets now? Or Boston Dynamics Handle? Let me know. I'm striving to do more videos on robotics to be honest, especially deep dives into how they work and how to have a career there, thanks!
Wow this is crazy thanks so much for this. I'm adding it to a robotics video upcoming,. I've been collecting new robotics tech ideas and will be making stuff about that soon, thanksss
@@JakeVoorhees figured you would like that. After this year's fall semester, if you still available positions or upcoming positions, I'm going to apply for an internship with you guys. Love the channel, the content, the resources given.
Hey Jake, was thinking. You have done a great job on what engineering degrees to go for and what careers those fields do well in; but could you do a video on "fake" engineering degrees? I ran into someone who got a degree in Construction Engineering Technology, and he said that you can't really get a job because companies would either just hire someone with a construction management or a civil engineer. He says it was just a bunch of buzz words and he got trapped. It might be worth talking about these buzz word degrees that wouldn't really be considered engineering fields.
Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah me too but I think its a little too narrow to be included on the overall Indeed software developer list. It is however discussed in this video, “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6r3hG_zA8d8.html Let me know what follow up questions you have or if there is anything I can help you with okay? Cheers thanks!
thanks for the video, very insightful! do you think a Bachelor's in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will allow me to access all of these jobs? If not, which jobs might I need additional qualifications for? I plan on doing EEE this September!!
Hey I looked into this, I havent seen the movie, but I cannot find the character named Tom in either IMDB or Wikipedia so do you have the right character you are thinking of? Otherwise, can you please describe thing Tom does so I can let you know what engineer he would be. Thanks
Thank you again for another amazing video! I was wondering compared to a mechanical degree what classes do computer science/computer engineer majors take, and do they have any matching classes besides core math and physics classes. Amazing work with the video!
Thanks for another amazing comment! Computer Science and ME majors would only have a few overlapping courses besides the ones you said. Some MEs only have to take one or two computer science classes, and then some of the upper level math classes my overlap, but MEs will take math specifically for their curriculum and so will CS majors. Computer Engineering will have much more overlap with CS than ME because so much of Computer Engineering is dealing with the programming integration between the computer hardware and the software. In order to know more specifics, I encourage you to do a side by side comparison of CS vs CPE at the universities you are considering, and you will see how close vs how different some of the schools are. Each program is a little different from school to school, but there will be decent overlap. Here are some videos that may help you, "What Do Computer Engineers Do?", ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hiL-cTbz188.html Many CPEs want to be Mechatronics Engineers, "What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?", ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4YjLZcQRLds.html Here are some good videos of mine on mechanical engineering so you can learn more - Here is a dive into what these MEs actually do: Product Design, Aerospace, Automotive Manufacturing, Quality Engineering, Mechatronics, and Google Mechanical Engineering. “What Do Mechanical Engineers Actually Do?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bssgoMZrhj0.html And the top 10 career paths for MEs, “Mechanical Engineering Job Tier List” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ghxBLeEX_OM.html I hope these help and make sense. Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Thanks love you !
hey Jake my goal is to become a Software Engineer and then eventually a Software Architect, I live in the Bay Area so there are plenty of jobs. But I am having trouble choosing a major, I am a senior in hs rn so I still have a little time to decide, but it’s between Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Sci. I noticed that you said to not do Software Engineering as a major but my school, SJSU, does have an ABET accredited Software Engineering program, if that changes anything? Also it might be hard to switch to CompSci since it’s impacted. So my question was if you think it’s worth trying to switch majors to SE or CS or just stick with my declared major which is CompE? (I could switch to SE a lot easier since CE and SE are within the same college, unlike CS)
This one is pretty straight forward - do not do software engineering as a major - do computer science. All the top software engineers have an electrical / computer engineering background or and most likely, computer science. There are only a few ABET accredited software engineering programs in the USA but 283 CS programs which means they are a part of the engineering department. Software engineering only teaches you how to make software. Computer Science teaches the entire theory and beyond.

Is it possible for a Mech eng student to gradually blend into the IT industry and eventually switch to software engineering? I am asking because I am highly interested in this field but wondering whether do i additionally need another Bach./masters degree (getting a degree/multiple degrees in my country is for free, saying this bcs that can be a leading factor too when considering a second degree) in SE or just work my way up to it and selfstudy. If anybody is in the same position (not just MechEngs!) or has already done it I would love to hear more from you in the comments!
Hey thanks for this comment. It is possible. I get this question a lot and it gets googled so I'm going to do a video on this soon. A masters in CS would not be a bad thing, but you dont absolutely need it. You can get started learning to program better yourself, on your own time, and there are great free resources for this. Stay tuned, video coming soon :) Let me know what follow up questions you have okay cheers thanks
Hey thanks for the question. MEs can end up working in software, and because of this, if you accumulate the right skills, sure yes you can work in machine learning or deep learning or AI type fields. It would be more common for a standard ME to get involved working with the physical components of a device or robot within AI. So let me know what type of AI work you want to do. AI is a very broad field so there is no single answer, but if you are going to major in engineering, then the more you know about computer science, the better. Majoring in CS is probably the absolute best avenue, but either can do, especially electrical engineering because of how closely it sits to computer science. Other skills/subjects that are valuable including mathematics, statistics, data science, and even cognitive science are good subjects to take as electives. Any engineering degree can put you in a position to pretty much do whatever you want, particularly one that is mechanical or electrical engineering, and again... the closer you are to a skilled programmer, the more your options open up, regardless of you choosing ME/EE/Aerospace/ChemE, etc Let’s say you go with engineering. I would encourage you to use any opportunity in your engineering curriculum to take a CS or math course that garners some skill that builds momentum for a career in AI. Do the same with your internships - work with companies that do something within AI. Same with the professors you build relationships with, the events you go to and the people you network with, as well as the engineering organizations/societies/clubs that you join. Once you become super intentional about your career, everything sort of falls into place the way you intend for it to do. And when you decide you're getting bored or you want something else, you can simply shift everything in the above paragraph, and repeat it. I've done civil engineering, into traffic engineering, into intelligent transportation systems, into travel demand modeling, into wedding videography, digital marketing, RU-vid, and even was with a startup for 2 years and featured on ABC's Shark Tank. You can do whatever you want with an engineering degree :) Does this help? Let me know what follow up questions you may have and I can try to help with those. Cheers! PS I also often get questions about what coding languages to learn in order to have a career in AI. For AI momentum, the primary language is 100% Python. Lisp is a legacy language for the industry. Also C++, Java, R, Prolog are all used in the AI industry. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!!!
Hello Jake! Will a certificate in python programming/ data science and a degree in mechanical engineering qualify me for one of these jobs in software engineering?
It won't hurt! Thanks for the question. Are you still in school? Mechanical Engineers and engineers in general can get jobs in SWE, you just have to built and showcase the skills required and then build some experience. If you are still in school, you can take more technical electives and try to get internships in SWE. And even if you are no longer in school, you can build skills and build a portfolio in order to show a future employer that you have the skills to work in software. I get a lot of questions about this and I will be making a video soon, stay tuned, thanks! Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers
@@JakeVoorhees yes I am a university student and I'm learning the B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. This semester I will do Programming for Technologists and Computing for Technologists, Engineering Math, Fundamentals of Electrical Technology, Applied Physics and Chemistry and Workshop Practice.
Awesome okay so yeah it seems like you're on a path to be moreso in the applied / implementation side of things with the mechanical engineering technology. This is even more so of a further step away from a software related career. So you really need to make sure you focus more learning and attention on your programming skills, bc your in-house courses will not teach you everything you'll need, i dont think. Let me know more questions that you have okay? cheers thanks love you
Would you recommend electrical and computer engineering or just electrical engineering???,,, How many electrical and computer engineering abets there are in the us???
Hey thanks for the question. There are a lot of both, 218 Computer and 315 EE alone thats for Bachelors and ABET accredited too. So there are a lot, even though Computer Engineering is technically and many times found within an EE program. Use this amspub.abet.org/aps/name-search?searchType=program&keyword=computer%20engineering°reeLevels=B&countries=US Let me know what I can help you with next okay love you
Hey thanks for the comment. Yup I have this video on Industrial Engineering for you, . Industrial Engineering is a great field and it’s very different from most other engineering fields. It considers the opposite approach. Mechanical or electrical or civil engineering, and all the rest, will look at each individual part or component and optimize them one at a time in order to maximize the sum of the parts (or whatever the objective is, which may include reduce costs, reduce build-time, etc). . Industrial engineering considered the entire system wide perspective, so it looks at the full top down umbrella view. Therefore, it considers more things like human factors, and the perspectives of people working a system (ex: manufacturing), along with other things that are not raw engineering elements. Due to this difference, there is less math. Another thing that I like about IE is that it is far more diverse, having 40% women vs the standard 13% across the board. Below is a video I did on industrial engineering. . “What is Industrial Engineering?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XiEC6o_xlaw.html . This video has some manufacturing engineering in it, see the description for timestamps, “What Do Mechanical Engineers Actually Do?” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bssgoMZrhj0.html . Does this help and make sense? Let me know how I can support you from here - ask any follow up questions okay? I respond to 100% of comments, cheers!
Hey thanks for the comment. Double majoring in two engineering fields is very uncommon. Most engineering professionals can branch into another engineering realm with the exact degree they have, so its unnecessary. EEs can work as anything they like usually. MEs can work as EE sometimes and as CEs often. CEs will often workin in the power industry or HVAC industry and make have a ME role. MEs can work as Aerospace Engineers and Biomedical Engineers. Chemical Engineers can do anything they like. BioMed engineers can work in a lot of medical fields. It's super common for someone to get an undergrad in one certain type of engineering and then get a graduate degree in another. MEs go to graduate school for Aerospace often. Civils will go for Structural or Environmental. This type of thing. But its really uncommon to see a double major. Maybe Electrical and Computer Engineering if the uni offers both individual degrees but the classes overlap so much that is can basically be the same degree. Does that help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers thanks!
as an EE major about to graduate, i get contacted by recruiters asking if i'm interested in applying for a software eng job. the problem is, i am weak on coding. i actually don't think I am as ready as a CS to apply for such jobs. what do you think? is it a waste to even apply?
No, think of it like this. If recruiters are asking you to apply, they obviously think you are a good fit. But from another perspective, if you don't have to know everything before you start something. You can learn as you go. If you want to do a software engineering type role, you should apply.
Hey Israel, thanks for the comment. You should always apply especially if a recruiter or someone connected to the job is encouraging you. I would suggest you make two resumes and gear one more towards CS and programming. But if you are weak on coding, you probably didn't like it enough in uni and didnt take as many courses, dont have internships in that direction, etc. So if CS isnt your focus, which is totally fine, then what is? Electronics? Power? Telecomm? What types of technical electives and internships did you do? Thanks Here are the top 10 job types for EEs today, “Electrical Engineering Job Tier List” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6r3hG_zA8d8.html Let me know more so I can help thanks
