Just got my degree. Applied to all the jobs in the area and got an engineering position in 1 week. Keep at it, the work will pay off. I start my new job in 2 hours
This is BY FAR the best "day in the life" videos on RU-vid. I've been on the fence about my career choice for a long time, and this is the only video I have found that goes over an example of what they are working on. Normally "day in the life" videos only show them waking up, eating, taking breaks, when they do meetings, and then just a time-lapse of their actual work. Thank you for this!
Please make more of these videos. I am currently a junior in high school taking Physics 1 so this is way above my head but it’s super cool to see that this is what I will be learning if I end up going to school for MechE. Thanks again for the video, super interesting!
Just finished 1st year on College in Mechanical Engineering, this helps me to have more background about ventilation or fluid dynamics. I love the way he discusses it. Looks simple! Thanks
In 1967, I co-opped as a draftsman at DuPont's Engineering Development Laboratory, where we designed and built custom machinery for upcoming DuPont manufacturing processes. This was, obviously in the pre-CAD days. In fact, it was in the pre-calculator days - we used slide rules. Anyway, I was given the preliminary specs for a particular kind of pneumatic control valve (I think it was called a flip-flop - hey, it was 55 years ago!). So I designed it and it was built and tested. Not only did it work - it worked better than expected! That was my very first moment of creative achievement!
I just graduated college and I’m an EE i find it cool that you found a career where you can use concepts you learned in school to solve problems. Impressive!
@@samualsisk5603 You’re partly correct. You don’t have to be good at maths tho when you’re starting the degree as long as you’re willing to learn. IMO Maths is a skill and with enough practice, which you will naturally get anyway in an engineering program, you can succeed.
@@Last_Respecter not everyone understands math and thats okay. if someone is struggling in math before advancing to college level math, that person is gonna struggle a lot more than their peers. just be prepared to work twice as hard as everyone else. it will in turn make it all the sweeter if you complete an engineering degree. good luck to mark
I wasn't sure if Engineering fit me since I want to do investment and I'm social, I have no doubts now. Thanks for these videos man, looking forward for the next one
I loved seeing actual engineering going on rather than the typical flashy day in a life vid. Really helped solidify my interest in engineering, although still deciding between mechanical, electrical, and civil
quite a spread is that, I'd go with the one that most closely aligns with your interests, what you specifically find interesting and enjoyable to do/think about. Mechanical can take you into most areas of engineering, studying thermodynamics (heat transfer and fluid flow like in this video), aerodynamics, vibration and rotating bodies/machinery where I think the equations get the most complex looking (but they're not so difficult once you practice with them a bit), or static forces and bending moments etc essentially in the area of civil engineering and even electromechanical systems essentially briefly going over some electrical engineering. Did some materials science and even some of the manufacturing and production side during my mechanical engineering degree (joining processes like all forms of welding, forging etc and even machining processes for improving qualities or properties of materials etc). I never much liked the electrical side as it's classical mechanics that I find most interesting and fun to think about/solve problems on etc, and civil engineering far as I'm aware anyway is just a LOT of static force/bending force/bending moments etc on the calculations side, but of all different materials and some geoengineering I imagine going into the properties of the typical materials building materials/foundations (cement, soil etc)
I am on my final year of aeronautical engineering course at university and these equations brought me back to my first year of my course. Jesus times runs so quickly
Wow. I’m getting ready to go back to college for aerospace engineering and this is motivating to really focus on the importance of equations and what innovations they can lead to! Keep up the awesome work!
I am late but this video is fantastic. You show how engineering students use what they've learned in real world scenarios, in a very organized and easy to digest manner. I was interested from start to finish and actually feel more confident that mechanical engineering is for me. Thank you!
I’m about to be a first year Aerospace and physics minor with dual mechanical engineer here in the fall, and this fascinates me! We also have the same last name lmao. Keep up the good work
Great video for beginners! Ive been a mechanical engineer for 11 years now and i can tell you these equations are nice on paper and the math most definitely works. But the best knowledge you can gain is hands on experience. Work with the lathes and mills that produce the components and engineering will come second nature. I can literally design something on cad and make the part myself. Its super gratifying, hope this opens some minds to get out there and put paper to steel!
Have you ever met anyone who has all of their certifications and education but is completely lost in the field or simply applying logic when working with their hands? If so, how do they fair? Do they assimilate eventually or do they have a difficult time? I feel some people are great in the classroom but are completely lost when it’s time to build a simple birdhouse.
Hi i just graduated in Mechanical engineering and starting out with my career is there any guidance you can give me or is there any way i can connect to you since you are someone with soo much of experience in same field.
Currently i am studying fluids in the university as well. Your explanations were unexpectedly helpful to understand the concept a little bit. Thank you. I wasn't sure about continuing engineering but you are awakening my interest again for the subject. Thank you for that.
Subscribed! Please make more of these videos! I am a mechanical engineering student and going to be graduating next year. Your experience is great to watch and learn from. I just took fluid dynamics last semester so it was cool to see the applications of that for the ventilator. Keep it up bro!
@@Ontheroad13 Our school is a bit different. The first year is common for all types of engineering students. However, based on our gpa in the first year, we get to pick and rank many disciplines offered. Students with the highest gpa will get their top pick whereas, students with a low gpa will not get their top pick in engineering discipline but will be given their second or third choice. (I know it sounds scary). Therefore, I don't have a specific engineering discipline going into engineering school but I want to get into mechanical or civil engineering discipline.
@@hamzayousuf6405 That’s a pretty interesting way of doing things. I wonder how the pass/fail rates stack up against a traditional ‘choose you flavor’ method. I am going for mechanical engineering. I had though about civil for a little while and I am still keeping it in the back of my mind. If I don’t enjoy mechanical I can’t switch to that. Course work doesn’t really get discipline specific for a 2 semesters in and that will give me time to learn more about each subset. Good luck on school!
I am interested in these subjects in mechanical engineering (2nd year is done :) ) and seeing the relation between what we learn in school and your work field became an inspiration really for me! Cleared my mind about what field would fit me.Thank you!!
Mehmet Fatih Kaya Merhaba Mehmet, Uludağ Üniversitesi’nde okuyorum öncelikle. Aramızda pek bir tecrübe farkı yok tabii ama önereceğim şeyler şunlar olur; makine mühendisliği iş ilanlarına bakarsan bizden istenenleri önden görmüş olursun dolayısıyla sırf keşif amaçlı iş sitelerine üye olmanı ve Linkedin hesabı açmanı öneririm. Bölüm ve meslek ilişkisi hakkında aklıma bir soru geldiğinde Quora’ya bakıyorum çünkü profesyonellerin cevapları oluyor. Autocad, Solidworks, ilgin varsa yazılım vs. konusunda kendini geliştirmek hiçbir zaman geç değil ve Udemy kursları çok ucuz onları kullanabilirsin (sertifikaları Linkedin’e eklenebiliyor). RU-vid’da RiverTechJess kanalını öneririm bir de mühendislikle ilgili birçok şey hakkında videosu var. Linkedin ağına beni de davet edebilirsin başarılar diliyorum 👋🏼
thats some really useful information there, im currently a second year student of mechanical engineer and i got the part of the heat exchanger and the jet but after that i learned from you other new things and now i know M.E is super interesting
I'm a first year mechanical engineering student and it made me glad to know that even by using simple equations we can achieve such great things. BTW your explanation was best bro
Hi. I'm new to your channel but immediately I saw this video I subscribed. I was so interested because I'm currently studying mechanical engineering and I never understood the application of some of the formula's. But seeing how you used Bernoulli's equation to solve a problem was fascinating. Please upload more of the activities you do at work.
You popped up and I listened to your video. Your intellect is so casually spoken thru your voice. Meaning , your way of writing your equation is fast , you explain everything , and it's so casually displayed thru your voice of just how matter of fact you really know your stuff. It was like you were explaining , in depth , to your kid about his algebra homework question. Your fast and extremely interesting to listen to. I would guess that you are italian for I could tell you were explaining your engineering sample , with a kind of italian attitude. Your also easy to look at. You have really nice hair. You exude confidence in what you know best.
I am graduating this year, will get bachelors degree in ME, thought those hydraulic,thermodynamic,mechanic formulas and stuff won't be used in job. Like I would come to some company they gonna tell me what to do, teach how to do it and that's it. But after ur video I found out that all knowledge I get today will be very useful and as much as I learn and study, I will become more successful. Thanks for inspiration and illustrative example.
The function of the heat exchanger in jet engines isn't to lower the temperature of the air coming through the inlet, it's mostly to cool the different components around the combustion chamber, or even to heat the fuel. The inlet air gets hotter and compressed before it gets mixed with the fuel, all to increase the efficiency of the combustion process. But that's just me splitting hairs and I might be wrong too, there could be a purpose to cooling the air that I'm not aware of. The video is still very interesting and enlightening.
I have no idea what you said when putting in all those equations, but that only motivates me more. I will graduate from high school in a few months. I can't wait to get into college for mechanical engineering.
Wow! You explained it better than my PhD teachers brooo! And I am a MechE graduate too and will be pursuing Masters in Aerospace soon! Amazing one with the videosss! Waiting for moreeee! Stay the same natural!
I think what you might not be explaining is that shockwaves exists right outside or within the inlet of the engine, which is causing the rise in static temperature. If the air entering the engine is below Mach 1, there will be a near negligible rise in the temperature from the atmospheric temp at the height that the engine is at, which is pretty low to begin with. Unless of course you meant to say that the heat exchanger is placed after the compressor instead of before it
I'm so happy that I actually understand everything you were saying except the part where you were doing those physics calculations of course,I'm 13 and I think I would really like to be a mechanical engineer one day,oh and great video btw
With those calculations at the end, you are assuming an incompressible fluid when you factored out density. With a compressible fluid like air, you would need to check that assumption on your pressure drop to ensure you arent dropping "excessive" amounts of pressure. Otherwise you would need to move to stagnation pressure lookups, etc.
@@WissamSeif Thought it might be helpful. Most rules of thumb I've seen thrown around say within 30% pressure drop keeps results mostly accurate for an incompressible flow assumption. But you'll start to break those rules on venturis or orifices sometimes as you'll approach mach 1 in the throat.
You should really provide the requirements (assumptions) behind using Bernoulli's equations: incompressible, frictionless, steady flow along a streamline.
You make this profession really interesting. i just thought about quitting, its maybe bec of burn out during pandemic and always dealing with difficult people. Thank you for this.
Great video! I´´m a portuguese mechanical engineering student and I´m just at two weeks of finishing my bachelor´s degree. I want to continue now with a masters, but I only thought about the mechanical construnctios fiel not fluids, but after saw your video, I really liked to see you applying bernouli´s equation to solve the ventilators problem and I do not know if I choose fluids master ahah
When we talk about ventilation today we concern over environment air which can be chemical agent or biological carried over from oversea by jet stream and so gravitational is fastest way to pull in or push away large air flow but to do it is hardest timely because the earth is huge
Nice video ! Very well explained ! I'm interested to learn more in depth of the work u do which is kind of boring as well who thought this simple concept would be used .
This video is so intrested lolllol. And validating. Also this should be played for freshmen MEs than again at the end of each year so we can see how much more we know
I'm taking mechanical engineering in college next Year and I'm hoping to learn in advance on AutoCAD Editing but sadly I can't don't have money to buy laptop maybe you have some extra left and rarely used laptop it's a big help for me❤️
this was one of my favorite videos you uploaded! I loved seeing the combination of fluids and a bit of thermal during your analysis of the ventilator. What are some jobs do you think would involve in the work that you do? I'm looking forward to getting a job similar to yours once I graduate from college.
I never knew how similar ChemE and MechE are lol. We study the same stuff in ChemE. We had tables for steam, ammonia, propane, R-134a for Thermo and focused on knowing what each machine does. Like Expanders/Turbines are adiabatic and boilers no work but produce heat.
I used to love these types of thermodynamic problems when I was in school. What type of department do you work at ? I am working in a packaging group where the calculations have to do with bolt joint analysis and such. Things we never learned in school.
I'm studying mechanical engineering with a focus on product development. I find your work totally enjoyable, in what field do you work and for what company? Thank you
I'm a girl who wants to do MechE in uni (starting this year or next, depends) and honestly everyone started bringing me down saying I should just do comp sci/ software, it's not a career for girls blah blah blah. Obviously, I still love MechE, but I'll be sharing this with anyone who wants give me advice other than MechE. Thanks for this video!
@SteveEarl just seems like everything I do in first year is to develop my problem solving skills since everything is “assume negligible friction” or “assume ideal gas”. Very excited to get into my later years as I’m going into electrical eng though
I finished my BS in mechanical engineering and this is what I thought I’d do but in reality I have a much more boring job working with excel/data analysis 😅 for supply chain logistics/packaging engineering in the automotive industry
Unfortunately, our current major subject is ' Refrigeration and Air-conditioning ' doesn't even involve ventilation. I thought HVAC is one subject. And thank God, our future job will actually use the formulas we memorize for our exams.
Hi there, I subbed and liked. Can you share the "not enjoyable" part? As an engineering student myself, I heard countless complain from senior and online forum that the job does not even use 90% of knowledge in uni. The tasks we will be doing starting out will never be developing or designing new solution because that take years to learn about the design practise or mechanism that I never heard of. I wanted to know specifically the boring parts so I know what to expect. I know your experience is mainly in aerospace and no company are the same but I still like to hear your answer. Please reply, I am eager for real life engineer experience. Keep up the good work.
@@WissamSeif Thank you for the reply. It is a relief and stressful at the same time I guess haha. Good news is that I don't have to push myself to develop unique solution like building a software from scratch or writing new equation for mechanism etc. All that are traded with long mundane tasks that senior engineer left to us to learn about the industry in the mean time. That's the assessment I take from all the stories I heard. What do you think? I mean after uni most of the knowledge are theoretical and lack of applying science experience. Well it is not like what we learn is useless, talking to supplier and writing document need specialised knowledge too but we can just Google to know about everything. The senior can't give us creative work if we can't even read the research paper, textbook or in-house documents (where all the implementation and solutions are) to troubleshoot and maintain the project. I am also curious whether your company have that many work for engineer? From what I know company develop and sold product. That product sell for years so why are engineer needed in this case? All they need is someone to troubleshoot and monitor the product right? Are there that many variation for that product to design? In your case the company took 10 years to develop a rocket to launch in one stage I guess that is a completely new technique so does that mean you can't find reference for your work to help you? Usually do working junior engineer buy their own advanced textbook, industry magazine or research paper ie. ASME and IEEE recommended by senior or found online to help their work? I know I am going all over the place but please help.
Hey, I just graduated as an Aerospace Engineering graduate and it would be really great if you can give me some advice about finding a job during this pandemic situation. Thanks in advance. Regards, Janaka Joseph
Man never imagined such simple questions are coming this much handy 😆😆.... Man u should teach us more ... We have even more deep knowledge than those equations u have used but only used them in exams not in actual engineering 😆...
