5 Years of Mechanical Engineering in 12 Minutes 

You did a lot better than me. I had to repeat a few classes but I'm proud of the fact that I never gave up and I still graduated with my bachelor's. Good job on the video and thank you for sharing.

As a mechanical engineering grad myself, I can assure you this guy is a hard worker to be able to achieve such awesome grades! I'm gonna be sharing my 4 years of mechanical engineering in my video soon as well. Thanks for the inspiration Tamer :) Love your videos!

“ I just love calculus it just makes so much sense to me. “ LOL

Mechanical Engineer Ungrad here. I'm 1 term out from my graduation, wanted to add my 2 cents. Tamer, congrats on those grades dude - thats territory that a lot of us never see. Me personally, I just came to realize that I wanted to look back on this time here in college happily and feel like I gained social experience on top of all of the classwork, otherwise you're dooming yourself down a 4-5 year path of depression with no upsides that never seems to quit getting worse. So, I took a job as an RA (fell in love with this job), reduced my credit load and decided to graduate in 5 years instead of the 4 year window promoted by my university, and focused on being a person as well. All that to say, I'm pretty happy with my 3.3 GPA all things considered. And lastly, it is definitely possible to achieve the grades that Tamer did first try, and if I went back and retook a number of my classes, I am certain I would ace many of them. But that's the point I was trying to make to you all here: at what cost. I am thankful that I can say that I woke up most days and was able to still smell the roses through it all. Best of luck to all of you fellow engineers

dynamics was tough for me too. it was a blend of dymics with kinematics. i took it over the summer so a lot of stuff crushed into a 2months class. the professor was a PHD ex-NASA r&d scientist. he was just too smart to teach! i didnt really enjoy calc but i did really well with thermo and materials. again, it was mainly because of the professor.

Thank for going over this!!! I talked over what I wanted to do after highschool with my dad, as I'm currently in a gap year, and we came to the conclusion that mechanical engineering would be a good fit for me. Its hard to find what some schools will have as courses (as I want to do community college first to knock out my core classes) and this helps a lot!!! Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

Another awesome video Tamer. Thanks 🙏.

Hey man, please do you have a video where you talk about your study routine? Maybe your timetable or study schedule for most courses and how much time in a week you would allocate for tougher courses. I know this is something individualistic, but on behalf of others, we would like to know your awesome study routine. For the record, You are/were an Excellent student. I am proud to be inspired by your videos and your lifestyle. Thank you brother.

This is a really useful video. Keep it up mate :)

Teşekkürler Tamer it was such a inspiring video :)

This guy is amazing. Respect for getting such high scores.

This makes a mechanical engineering major sound kinda fun ngl. Might be looking forward to it

I'm so jealous with your educational system there. We have a lot of "REQUIRED" GE courses! Instead of focusing on the engineering courses, we have to take these additional 10 units to complete per semester.

Loved this! Thanks for sharing! Would love seeing a study tips/techniques video (: !!

Hey, Tamer. I really enjoyed watching this video of yours! I hope that you could give us some tutorials for integral calculus someday if you have time! I know that you’ll explain it very well, I am not taking an ME program, but my major is close to that.

I love how you explain it

This is so accurate. Everybody starts first year of engineering on top of the moon because we've taken calculus, physics and chemistry in high-school. Our averages were 85-90%. Then 2nd, 3rd, 4th year came around where we had to fight to stay above 80%.

Wholesome

I’m literally so proud of you😭

I'm in second year of mechanical engineering in Ireland. Most of the modules are similar, but not always in the same year. You must have worked so hard for those grades. Mine are nowhere near that high.

It's good to know that at Waterloo too the dynamics course is a nightmare. At McGill it's our nightmare too LOL.1/3 of the class fails it each semester

Sometimes its just intelligence. My mate did Mining Engineering years ago and ace'd it, of course was an OP1 in High School. He came back recently to do Mechatronics and got a 6.8GPA .. just like that. With seemingly minimal effort.

As a Computer Science Major who has an older brother in Mechanical Engineering, and many friends who *attempted* Mechanical Engineering, these grades really are solid! The 3 courses he struggled in are infamous for being a struggle across just about any University, and having attended the courses (mostly for fun, I asked the professor if I could audit the course, to which they replied I was more than welcome to) and yea... Dynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and certain other courses are awful to take. xD

This guy is f*****g brilliant.

thanks for the video! your videos have been pretty nice to watch. though, i would like to ask what your "love and friendship" course was about... it sounds unique

Really congrats for such marks currently half way through my first year and i can confirm it is NOT at all easy to attain such grades

Wow, so 72 is your lowest grade in your 5 years of engineering? Damn, that's very good. Are you going for a Masters next year?

Calculus and Physics kicked my but lol but I’m so glad I finally made it to my last semester of computer engineering

I’m a third year mechanical engineering student in Ghana I want to say you did really well attaining such grades For me I also love calculus just like you did by so far my best grades were in Fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and Engineering and Technical Drawing Big ups bro

I like your videos and I am inspired by you

I would like to meet you in person. I'm studying electrical engineering, and I have always found it fascinating when people come together who strive to have brilliant thinking minds. Love you, Tamer.

I claim all the positive energy and good grades in this video

I HIGHLY recommend that you map out ALL your classes ASAP. This video is a good start but general education courses in the US take this to a whole new level. As a helicopter parent the idea of just turning my 18 to life sentences (2 daughters) loose in college with my money mortifies me. Anyway I was SHOCKED at the difference in coarse load between my first daughter and my second daughter. The first double majored at UC Davis in International Relations and Spanish AND she got a minor in Education. Oh and she spent a year studying Spanish in Salamanca Spain. Well she graduated in 4 years with no problems except for the little detail of trying to get a job with only daisy majors during the great recession. Well she eventually went back to college and 15 YEARS after graduating from high school she finally finished another BS degree in nursing to get a decent job. Daughter 2 wants to be a mechanical engineer. In the process I mapped out all her required courses and was SHOCKED that it was going to take her 3 years in community college just to knock out all the math, chemistry (1 year needed to transfer to Davis) and physics. The real kicker though was all the crazy ass general education courses she STILL had to take. It is BEYOND STUPID to force engineering students to take absurd courses in gender studies when they already have a sh!t ton of STEM classes to take. That's when it occurred to me that a Daisy major is basically a major in general education which is why it is SOOOO much easier to graduate on time (but without any skills an employer will pay for). All in all it is still much more worth it to take five or even six years to get the engineering degree because you are ONE AND DONE. First daughter ran from STEM classes like the devil running from the cross only to have to bite the bullet later. Kids that don't recognize this early will just hit a wall later.

This guy smoked me in every possible way. Well deserved, Tamer!

Man I wish I would have been able to finish my mechanical engineering degree.. life sucks sometimes man 😕 congrats on doing so well man

Bro I’m a second year make more study tips your transcript is awesome

In one month I’m starting my first semester in mechanical engineering so I’m really thankful for your content.

I would have loved degree like yours. Mine (also in mech eng) resembled more an industrial one where especial emphasis was made in management, hydraulics(not the cool ones) and HVAC.

the workload per semester is astounding.. Seems harder than premed from an outsiders perspective

Bro you gotta give some tips on studying for all courses while having a big courseload in eng.

I'm a girl and i chose mechanical engineering but people in my country are stupid and they keep telling me that it’s only for boys why did i choose it , i wish u will make alot of videos about it love it thanksss 💕💕

Did your understanding of calculus help you on the other courses ? And did it help you get a job and do you use it at your job ?

Ehhhh🙆🙆🙆ya nehh, I'm an electrical studentmuself but I'm really really struggling I'm doing my second year I saw your on time management, I'll implement it I believe it'll work for me as well

Could you make a video talking about your personal projects or ideas for personal projects??

I don't know why but I'm an ME student but i hate mathsss 😭😭😭 i failed once but i was able to redeem it last semester. I'm at my 3rd year now i hope i can survive this. Calculus is my nightmare i have problems understanding problems but with enough time i get it, and mostly when i finally understood the topic the exams are over lol

These are very good score if u were to be schooling in my country except if your grading system is quite different from ours over here A=70-100,B=60-69,C=50-59,D=45-49,F=0-44 If u got 70+ as you have shown in the video, that's a perfect cgpa of 5.0 all thru ur yrs in the uni... speaking from Nigeria thou Really respect ur grades,keep the good work going🙌..A big fan

can you make a list of textbooks and online lectures to learn mechanical engineer at homw, with lab projects list?

I never had calculus in high school. How can I learn to understand it to get good at it?

Struggled for a B in calc 2 after our series unit. Calc 3 seems a lot more promising to me tho and I still love the subject!

oohhhh the dreaded dynamics, i have nightmares as well whenever i remember it lol

As a former Waterloo student and also former grad school student in the US and talking to US graduate admissions officers.. EVERYONE that come from Canada should be aware that grades are heavily bell curved.. (ie normal distribution).. as in contrast in the US.. they don't do this in the US (US admissions officers are aware of this practice in canada).. by doing this, you see as what he has described there.. a few students gets in the 90's.. and most of the class is in the 70's (which is a B- or so in canada).. note canada doesn't really use the letter grade system that heavily.. Many schools in the US also only use A, B,C.. etc.. with no intermediate +/- scores.. and random garbage like someone in highschool getting a 7.0gpa.. because they had AP courses.. etc..

Really good performance for engineering

your work ethic is incredible! how did you manage all those classes every semester??

Just finished dynamics this semester. It’s def tough.

I've been watching a lot of your video's and I've been wondering, how good were you at math, physics, and chemistry in high school? Most of the courses you took in your 1st year are pretty much just high school concepts that you've already learned, but just that the problems are a lot harder. How much work did you put in high school compared to your university? Were you just an average student or were you at the top of your class?

Tamer bro im still in grade 10 but I hope to take mechanical eng after school and hopefully I dont regret it😂I've always wanted to do stem tho so we'll see

Could you perhaps do a video on how to make Math and physics notes and understand the specifically?

Mehn, I really love the smart toilet project. Over here in Nigeria, mechanical engineering students take all the courses you mentioned except control systems.

this is much harder than what i had to do at Ucla. That marble maze solver is impressive af

Dynamics was a FUCKING nightmare had to put so much work into it. As long as the rest isnt that bad itll be a cakewalk

hey Tamer i got another question!! do you take super notes daily? or do you sum up your notes like at the end of the week? also how big are the notebooks u like?(pages)

guys if someone is still reading comments what r some high paying jobs a mechanical engineering degree get? can someone pls tell me tysm in advance.

I did poorly during my first year and I have to redo some classes. I think I didn’t study efficiently enough, I think I’ll do better In person this year

Im inspired!

Great video, I have a question do you think I should take statistics in high school. I want to take engineering, I want to take biomedical engineering

Heyyy please tell me ...I am great at mathematics but hate science and can't draw. Can I still do engineering? My other option is financial engineering which isn't really the same thing

did u take statics i thought that was one class that all meche's had to take or is it a class with a different name in waterloo

This dude score 80+ like he's taking a walk in the park I bet he used to study alot

Did you also have a part time job in college or did you work exclusively summer internships?

Hello Tamer! I went over this video since I am about to select my 4th year technical electives in TRON. I have noticed that your4th year courses were not selected in the same specialization (ex: thermal, fluids, automation, solid mechanics, welding,...). Is there any particular reason why you chose to do so? Didn't you have any interest in specializing in one area? thanks!

what helped you the most at getting good at calculus.

Im a 3rd year Automotive Engineering student and barely surviving. Any Advice? Im Not that good at mathematics, but i sure do like the designing etc Autocad/Solidworks

Ur system education seems to be easy than us, I can say that during my first two years in preparatory classes before even entering to an engineering shcool, we studied much courses about different concepts in mathematics and physics and which were very advanced. U can image any course u have taken. The system was very tough, we study 9hours per day and many subjects (Maths, Physics, Computer science, Engineering technologies, philosophic languages, traduction). All that in order to pass a national exam in the last 2 years in order to choose your engineering field and the school u want to study in.

Can you make a must read books for mechanical engineers if you get the time

💝

Why is it so much easier to be an mechanical engineer in usa then in eastern countries like dude this is nothing we have your 1 and 2 year in our 1 year which is crazy

That was really nice, but I would have chosen at least 2 courses related to aerospace and aeronautic engineering, thankfully mechanical engineering has so many opportunities.

Just wanted to ask, if I am getting a 97 in high school, what approximate grade average can I expect in university? Is it still possible to have a 95+ avg in university?

Is this major even worth going through if you don't enjoy calculus or physics (I did enjoy physical science in hs though)? I'm already questioning if this is my right major and I just started this year. I don't have much time to withdraw either.

Bro what subjects should I have to know good before engineering?

Does this branch have alot of maths like electrical engineering and which subjects were the most maths heavy ?

You guys don't take physics waves and fields or mechanical vibrations?

In my freshman, sophomore and junior i was betwen 2.7 and 3.3. But in senior i boosted my gpa 3.8 i studied every day and focused so much.

Where is your partial differential equations course

Can u make a video detailing your coop experiences

Hay quá

Tamer gonna hit a million at this point

10:05 that’s wild

I really want to be a mechanical engineer but I don't want to be an engineer that makes product and build things just like that ,I want to go big like build and designing engines and systems for some type of transportation's we use in life but in order to do that after university I need to be in an internship and start on small projects and go my way up from that but I want is big my dream is just one day I will build the world longest and biggest train I the world. my train will be long and be so luxurious but I known people are going to laugh at me but I won't let anyone intimidate me cause I have a big dream literally a big dream I just know if I work hard and dedicate my life, just probably one day I will make my dream true 😶

Mashallah

How are your grades soooo consistent?????

Is same when we talk about Having bachelor degree in mechanical engineering??

Dynamics is going to kill me I guess 😭😂

Amazing vid.But we’re you keen on becoming a software engineer?

How much did you speed up the this video?

Do you recommend that I take a full year to do a co-op away from studies and then come back to school the next year .

Bro when are you going to make the top 10 degrees to get if you don’t know what to major in? This has taken you really long to make it, please make it?

I got one big problem right now I am not very good at math however I am really good at building and science and started recently using CAD at schooling at home my high school is a stem school but it has academies based on a proffession your schedule has like lots of science classes your academy is the health profession if you have lots of art classes like ,digital design, photography,architecture,or construction your academy is the design academy and business,marketing,or finance is your is the business academy ,and you are a freshman then you are in the freshman academy mostly I am struggling on finding a university right for me right now I have an eye for Vanderbilt university

i am an aerospace engineering and my teachers and university are sooooo bad i want way to understand the classes i had:'(

You must have been very hard working.
