Day in the Life of a Mechanical Engineering Student | Engineering Study Abroad 

Hmmm I'm actually not sure. In the master's or in the bachelor's? In the master's I think we're less than 200

STEMinine I think that was aimed at the people in the comment section

Here I am..

arwa abdullah right here

u are right actually hhhh:)

Ayyyy! Welcome!

Raises her hand too! Electrical here

Hell ya

Hiii

Yasmine It's all we all rock 🤘

What about medicine?

Suffered Person I meant there are not a lot of girls who are studying mechanical engineering

@Suffered Person trust me, im studying mech and we probably have only 1 female student in the entire department 😂 so ya, its quite rate to see someone like this

@@rushikesh2320 lol, wouldn't be surprised 😂

lol you made laugh thank you

You are indian brother.. and mechanical engineer .. i am wondering who cursed you so bad?? 🤔🤨

Mecha broa

I see more indians here then guys from any other country which shows pretty much situation of engineering graduates in our country.

@dachicagoan yes👍

Thanks Nassim! I'm glad you like it:)

They do videos like that for the cinematic effect. As in casey neistat clones. It's all for aesthetic and not for education

Your comment really makes sense soo truue

So true. Jai Hind

Bhai apne bhi lge pde hain... I guess iits Mein Hi shi practical knowledge milta hoga...

There are some Indian people who are studying at german universities. Since life is different here, its quite tough to live as a foreigner in another country. But i hope you also have the opportunities.

Ao true all cant ho to iit in india...and other private university dont hv such practical set up....they r very limited and not in large scale....so we lack practical knowledge....Indian engineering studwnt only forced to focus on theoritical knowledge only......I am too a mechanical student.....but i am not exposed to much large scale in practical knowledge..... We do simulation and computaional dynamics and all software related knowledge and practical...but they never put into work with actual machine....ao we lack ..in terms of practical experience

@@premsingha6202 Do it at home then. For e.g. I built an electric Go-Kart from spare bits and pieces lying around the house.

industrial engineers?

Fk logic 😂

Nah fam

More like mechatronics engineer = the avengers

I think he's Kurdish

lol on the one hand...ouch. On the other hand... you're not wrong

@@RiverTechJess There's no getting away from it, all of us Engineering students have had those all nighters lol.

Seriously they never go down anymore

Lol she’s super pretty though. Good personality too. She’s gonna steal some mech engs heart 😜

When I think back the days in faculty... well this is very accurate.

Hey Jackylou! Thanks so much for watching!!!!!!!!!!!!

STEMinine Hi! I'm from the Philippines 😊 I currently work in a manufacturing industry. I'm a Production Engineer focusing on operation of machines and analysis of the performance. 😊

its just ur and many people's assumption ..wt do u mean its only for boys ?!!!!!!! m from india n m a mechanical engg.. i could do everything that my classmates (guys) did ..sometimes even better.. i agree there r fewer girls .. but 'no girls' is not true ..

Pushya Subramanyam I Know! It's such a stupid assumption! I am in an engineering school in Montreal, and I can tell you that i personally know many incredibly smart and very competent future mechanical engineers that happen to be women! I think women and men don't think exactly the same way, and in a team, the combination of the sexes is the best way to solve a complicated engineering problems. Wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors!

@@jackyartajo9854 hey I'm also from the Philippines. May I ask in what company are you working as a production engineer? I'm a mechanical engr student current in my sophomore year. Also is the salary good?

OH MY GOD I JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO AND SAW YOUR SHOUTOUT THANK YOU

(also just a little note, I'm in Computer Science at Wilfred Laurier University, not University of Waterloo. Both are in Waterloo though. I just thought that may be confusing!)

Of course! I figured maybe someone would be interested in seeing/getting to know an awesome girl in STEM!

Ah ok! So sorry I got that completely wrong. Maybe you told me already but for some reason I thought you went to Waterloo:S

thank youuuu!!! I would've never made it if it weren't for you. thanks for all of the insight you've given me:)

Hey! I know you.

Yeah that's amazing We must be worry about artificial intelligence

I was going to ask the same :P

That's so cool! It sounds so awesome when you get a job that requires a different skill every day. Can't wait to be done with school!

Get me a job!

Thats exactly what i'm trying to do! Could you hook me up? I'm also ME btw

Can I get your e-mail?

It's not all sunshine and rainbows like this video, good luck.

Hey it’s been a few years how’s it going?

Hey

hey thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it:) what school do you go to?

I go to the University of Iowa right now. I have a question for you. I'm interested in the notion of research and even a little more specific in fluid flows and the associated heat transfer that can occur. The overarching reason why I'm interested in this area is because of renewable energy technologies like wind turbines. However, this semester I'll be taking 6 courses (18 semester hours) and I don't think I would have time for it. Have you been in situations like this before? My gut instinct right now is to hold off during the spring semester and try next fall when I'll have a smaller course load. What do you think? Also, thanks for responding to my comment. Subscribed! :)

Thats a great/fun area of research! And renewables is a great industry because it's what every city/company is investing in. I think if you have a heavy course load, then don't start research. Because you want to do your best work (maybe even publish in a journal), you want to make good connections with the professors and the PhD students (for letters of recommendation). basically, you want to give 100%. You wont be able to do that with a heavy course load. BUT don't wait until you have an easy course load, because chances are that you wont have one. So I would suggest to find some sort of compromise, maybe take 2 electives in one semester so that you can focus on research. Also consider summer research:) Good luck and let me know how it goes!

+STEMinine hallo mam, i completed B.Engineering in 2017, and i am working as engine production incharge in Volvo and Eicher commercial vehicle pvt.ltd. in india. so i want to apply a job as a mechanical engg. in germany. what is the process to apply there. and i continue our master degree in germany

Hey Gautam, I actually live in Switzerland. I don't know anything about applying to work in Germany. But there are tons of helpful resources online. Good luck!

You should go to engineering school then, if you're not already! Many of my girl friends are very intelligent and genuine good people like her. My friend is casually optimizing jet engine design, she also compute and optimize aerodynamics wing profiles, she give classes of a heat transfer software and on top of that she is beautiful!

Noiche

@@paulauchon5455 oh God!

Is it ansys fluent software for CFD

Ansys??

Thanks for watching! Good luck on your eng journey:)

hey thanks for watching! I did make a video like that. you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bogz1HsCMt0.html

Hope you will like it!:D

I like yes! :D

Breno Freitas Hey there! I have recently finished school and I'm thinking about getting a degree in mechatronics, would you recommend that?

Hey Raeii Lobete! Ya I also did a 5 year bachelors and it was the same. Super theoretical and no outside world experience. The only way I got real experience was with internships and thesis and projects. I would suggest you try that if you can!

3:59

Thanks so much Gabe! I hope you enjoy the other videos. Let me know if you ever have any recommendations:)

Good luck bro

How's it?

ya i would never wanna go back to the amount of work i had in my bachelors lol

oh nice! Congrats and good luck!:D

Where do you study?

Thanks for listening!

Matthew 33:34 You’re on the right path, through him nothing is impossible. Ask for knowledge, wisdom, insight the most meaningful to your life and success understand the meaning of these words and their role in reality and you’ll overcome any obstacles you face in life.

But the most important of all God comes first.

Haha I feel you there, maybe watch motivation videos? You won't need to pray any god to be super confident and confidence is so important

Me from another country 🤣

tamil ah bro ?

awesome! and thanks for your support! Keep at it and I'm sure I'll see you here soon:) What year are you in? And what do you want to specialize in?

STEMinine I’ve just started my bachelor in september 😃 But it’s freakin’ hard!!! I’m struggling! I have no social life and i’m studying everyday from 09:00 am till 12:00 pm... I like it, so no problems. I passed my statics course and now i’m following dynamics course... After christmas holidays I have final exams and then the new semester will start with thermodynamics and much more 😱😜 In our bachelor’s program we can choose minors or internships abroad and stuff like that. I want to do my minor (6 months electives course) in robotics, after that I want to do a masters in robotics @ ETH Zürich! The future is robotics, I want to work in a robotics field, could be in any industry it’s a wide field with different types of applications! I

Hey William! Ya Bachelor's is haaardddd (I'm so so happy to be done lol). It gets better I promise:) ohh yes I remember statics (my dynamics course was much much harder than stats). Good luck with exams! And don't be discouraged when you start therm', it's hard but it very interesting. A minor in robotics sounds SO DOPE! So that and then build me a robot please:D I agree, it's a very wide industry and I'm sure you'll find an application that you like once you start your minor and you do your masters (at ETH). Let me know if you have any questions in the future about ETH!

Fuck this shit Doorzetten broer, zeker als je besloten hebt door te gaan in Februari.

I want to MS in Mechanical engineering from Zurich. Could you please tell me the process and Uni to take easy admission.

Thanks so much Norbert! I’m really happy to hear you liked the video. I also wish you all the best in your thesis. I hope it will make you super excited about it. Good luck!!

Oh that's so cool!! do you like it?

I really do! When you're developing a project you always get stuck on many problems and on the contrary of what most people think when encountering such problems that's actually when I have the most fun, because you spend hours researching for a solution and you end up learning a lot during the process.

Haha I love annoying him

very true! thanks for sharing that insight:)

Awesome!! Reach out when you’re here:)

@@RiverTechJess I just might! I'm also a fellow Canadian! (But from the other side of the country). Would appreciate any tips you have for moving there

Hey Khubaib Lakhani! Thanks for watching and great question. As a young engineer you really have a lot of options. What are your reasons for wanting to do a MSc? Is it just because you're not sure about the market? Because you should only be getting an MSc for the following reasons: 1- You want to work in Europe. In Europe you need an MSc to work as an engineer. There's really nothing else to say. Unless you don't actually want to work as an engineer and just find another job. 2- You want to work in a specialized field. For example, I work in combustion. If I was to work at Siemens or Pratt & Whitney or GE, I need at LEAST an MSc (or even a PhD) but this is a specific research field within engines. But if you are fine with being flexible an working on many different types of projects as an engineer along different parts of the pipeline then I wouldn't suggest an MSc. So the question is really, what do you want to do? Now my question to you. Would you benefit if I started making a little video series called the "1 minute ask an engineer show" where I would answer questions like these in 1min? Let me know and thanks for watching!

Honestly I don't have enough industry experience to really know if I'm interested in a specialized field. I feel like work experience is the only way I would personally be able to get an idea about it and unfortunately I only have one internship in Oil & Gas (It's huge in TX) and I realized I'm not interested in pursuing that so it helped. I am interested in a lot of things and I feel like I could develop a passion for wherever I start unless it's a dead- end repetitive field. And yes I would watch that lol.. I think for me the only thing that stops me from clicking on an interesting video (in this case for ex. a mech engr related vid) would be the duration. So 1-min vids would capture a huge audience. I know some male engineer youtubers who have very boring 6-8 min videos and they have hundreds of thousands of views so definitely think you could be successful with that!

Ok so I think if you don't really know what you like then I would say you can do two things. 1- This last year of college, maybe explore the possibilities to do an MSc. And I don't mean in terms of schools. I mean in labs/projects and go speak to professors. You can email professors asking about their lab and saying your interested in doing an MSc and most of them will be happy to show you around and show you the research going on. Then you can pick an interesting project that you might develop a passion for. 2- You can go for internships/jobs in different fields and figure out what you like and then decide to go back and do an MSc. I think the REALLY TRULY important thing here is to remember that you literally have your entire life to do an MSc. And you also literally have your entire life to work. You can always switch career paths. I'm from Canada but living in Europe and people live life so much slower here than in North America. Everyone is in less of a rush. Don't buy into the fact that you need to figure everything out right away, because you don't. (Also please subscribe if you haven't yet :P )

That last bit was what I needed to hear. Society and norms make us feel so pressured to plan out and calculate every move we make and not think about what we actually want to do. I think I need to take a step back and take a deep breath. I will look into both options you suggested me. You are very right in the sense that it's pointless to jump into a MSc by default without considering why I am doing it. I think I'm leaning towards giving the job market a solid effort and see where my fate takes me.. most recruiting goes on through November, and I have a sense of what interests me. But thanks a lot for the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out! And officially subscribed.. :)

Thanks so much! And I really hope I was of help. Please keep me in the loop. And I hope you don't mind but I published your question and my response in a Medium article and on Tumblr (medium.com/@STEMinine/what-should-i-do-after-graduation-a919d7db905b) because I'm sure more student's have the same questions. I only used your first name but if you would like me to change that then let me know:)

❤️

@@dhruvpatel7457 Are you going to hiring her ?

ateş koral fyi, I live in the US

Is engineering worth it

Candy Mi In my opinion it is

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed:)

Yes that is my iron ring. Usually you only get it a month before you graduate. So I would say once you get it then it’s ok to wear. But if you fail or drop out after you get it Rhenish would say it’s weird if you wear it:S

STEMinine ok I understand now, thanks for the reply!

Daniel Wang Yi Yao no its not, enjoy it, especially the girls. Engineering doesnt have girls, its like 1%.

Daniel I agree, haha I though high school was soooooo boring too:)

Hey António, we had 20% girls in our classes. (but maybe this is just in canadian schools?)

STEMinine well idk. In mine ME there is like maybe 1 girl per 50 guys no joke. But in civil, environment etc engineering there are quite some few. I guess it depends on the school too

Seriously, enjoy it while it lasts. Yes highschool is boring, but you have a ton of free time! Pick up sports or hobbies that you've been wanting to do, hang out with friends more, date enough girls to satisfy you for multiple years. College is way more interesting, but also way harder and time consuming. It is not out of the ordinary to basically go byebye social life in your first year.

It doesn't matter. It depends on where you want to live and where you want to end up afterwards:)

Thanks for your input Mario. Can I ask why you think so?

Depends, In general I'd say Germany for engineering. However, accoeding to the world rank list some uni whose name I forgot in the us is #1 and the TU Delft in the Netherlands is a very close #2 when it comes to mechanical engineering. Keep in mind though, unless you speak German you'll find it hard to make German friends. (Even though all of them speak fluent English and arent dicks.)

Besides the point mentioned here by the people studying in USA is a bit expensive than Germany. And Germany provides free education for even international people. Its only the living expenses tha you have to bear. And standard of living is high too. But not like living in the US. The tuition fees may vary according to the universities you are applying consequently the courses you are planning to take up or pursue! Also Germany is a good place for mechanical engineers , the country being the hub for many automobile manufacturing units. Hope this helps you to make more informed choices!

Update us, I want to know if you've decided yet

hhahaah well I didn't want to show hours of footage of me just doing work in front of the computer;) but usually I work from 9am-6 or 7pm. (i'm lucky that I only have a master's thesis and no classes or else I would be working till 2am. Thank goodness those days are over)

Bro, I will be studying Electrical Engineer in 16 weeks after I graduate from High School. How you holding up? Do you have time to do things you like or you be studying all day? Is it hard?

I'm only a sophomore so I'm still in the "weed out" stage of the program. Junior year is the hardest. Taking upper level physics and calculus right now along with some EE and programming courses. It is a lot of work and its not easy but its manageable if you plan out your time well and use the available resources to help you when you struggle. I certainly do not study all day lol. I'd be burnt out if I did, and you shouldn't do that either. It's good to take some time off relaxing and going to parties and stuff. But you have to immediately get back to the grind the next day

Freshman year 1 semester I partied almost every weekend because to me the work was not difficult at all(calc 1, chem 1, some gen eds). If you can, try and go out and have as much fun as possible during your first semester if you also find your course load to be manageable and relatively easy. Get all the partying and fun out your system because after freshman year you'll have very little time to do so if you want to progress and do well. Keep your GPA up, get involved, and have some fun. Best of luck to you. If you got any questions don't hesitate to ask

Hi, I'm final year mechanical engineer. but i have friends in electric in my hostel. so almost all engineering fields are way too much easy. we do party, and everything. I myself usually study at last month of semester, although i won't advice you for such thing but i still have 3.4 cgpa. while in my department, teachers don't give good grades so often as compared to other campuses, but still it is easy unless you are weak in mathematics

Vivi Mundaca keep working hard if you like what you study! I'm a mechanical engineering student too but I don't really like it..

Hey Vivi! Thanks so much for watching! Ya I get that it's so expensive:/ But have you considered maybe studying part time and working part time? I find that there's a pressure from society to finish studying ASAP but that's just not true.
