My Gender engineering degree paid off.

What my college does is mechatronics engineering as a minor that can be added with a tailored set of tech electives to a mechanical engineering degree with no extra course load. That’s the path I’m doing because it allows broad and specific categories in one path.

mechatronics engineering is like 50% mechanical and 50%electrical engineering, at least in Australia, it's an excellent option if you want to do both degrees without doing two degrees

I graduated with a bachelors in petroleum engineering in 04 and a masters in 2009. I love it, but I would advise anyone who wants to study it to go to school for mechanical or chemical engineering instead and look for internships with oil companies. They're much more adaptable degrees.

As a Civil-Structural grad 1-yr out of college, I think Civil deserves to have its sub-fields ranked on here as well. Structural is a subtrack of Civil at many schools, and one of the higher paying ones, but I’d like to see its demand and meaning score and how they compare to Civil as a whole.

New fan and really like your channel. Seeing if you could make a video about the best degrees to climb the corporate ladder to C Suite level positions or something similar.

Biomedical engineering majors if you're worried about your course choice, don't fret! Most roles in medical engineering aren't going to be called biomedical engineer because that would be a very vague job description for making medical devices. Instead, you will find roles such as mechanical, systems, electrical, design (CAD) and software engineers which you can then apply your degree to any of, assuming you can demonstrate the multidisciplinary skills your course gave you. These roles then work on one aspect of the device as part of a team, rather than one person trying to do all of it. This means figures are going to be misleading as they only account for the rare situations where your job title will actually be "Biomedical Engineer". In the medical device sector your degree will give you the edge over people who went into pure mechanical etc. as it shows your dedication to the medical industry to a company, and that you know exactly where you want to be. Just be careful to choose actually decent modules (not just the easy sounding ones) and focus on the knowledge you gained from those specific modules in interviews and on your CV, as biomedical engineering can be very broad. If it turns out that you don't fancy biomedical after all, I would recommend again focusing on any modules relevant to the degree you want to work in. For example if I wanted to switch to a systems engineering role, I could talk about the modules in systems design and control engineering I've completed in interviews. It also helps to have projects outside of university, in particular things like Arduino, ESP32 embedded software programming, making games in C#, designing PCBs etc can all show off your passion for another engineering discipline. I'm currently doing an internship at a multinational medical device company and the R&D department is gigantic, but not one of us is called a biomedical engineer. Personally, my title falls mostly under mechanical engineer. There's also manufacturing engineers and quality assurance engineers, a good few of which have biomedical engineering degrees. TL;DR Biomedical engineering is a skeleton key to get into any other engineering role in the medical industry, and usually isn't a defined role in itself. Please like this if you found it helpful to stop a biomedical engineer from dropping out in their final year unnecessarily! :)

New viewer, definitely a decent 90,000 foot view of engineering. While I’m almost certain the bare minimum of research was done and you can’t condense a life long choice into 18 minutes, I got some ideas on how to better research my career. Thanks

This video was pretty helpful! Thank you Shane. From Pakistan.

Civil engineering give you a lot of job roles to be in and great salaries as well. Imagine how much can you make if you start your own business after getting the necessary experience. I will put civil engineering a bit higher than a B XD. The pros of being a bachelor civil engineer is you have a lot of areas to work in like structural, geotechnical, hydraulics, etc... And you never get bore, because every project is different and always has something new to learn.

hello Shane..please help us talk about “computational biology major’’ or “bioinformatics”..the career prospect and the vision and job demands pleae

As one of the people in the marine engineering field, I think that he does not quite understand what we generally do. We are essentially industrial engineers with a specialization in ships. We have completely different licenses than shoreside. Many marine engineering jobs can not be filled with a broad engineering degree, but we have the ability to take industrial engineering jobs

Hi Shane,Can you kindly do a review on Biosystems Engineering and give as info about it in the current and future job markets for Engineering courses

Environmental Engineering is def on the rise. I do not know about the states but in my country their is a huge deman for em, my class was the first one to graduate with local Env Engineering courses and we all found jobs easily as before they had to bring in experts from other countries, and the sustainability and green energy sectors are in desperate need of more people in this field as more are investing in it. Their is a lot of potential for it.

Systems engineering dope, predicting/modeling dynamic (complex, chaotic) systems is wild and the end game

Environmental engineering focuses on pollution management. Air, water/wastewater, soil treatment. Used to be called sanitation engineering.

Guys, always remember to do what you like and are good at. The best part about engineering degrees is that you will generally get a decent salary no matter what.

Great video Thumbs Up👍

Everytime I watch these, I'm more and more convinced that there isn't enough research being done on the field of Civil Engineering and how versatile it is. In terms of jobs, pay and social life. I also think that it having one of the highest "meaning" scores goes to show how free people feel within the field. Money is great and all in tech, but why stress and hate your job when you can do something more fullfilling and still make just as much? Also, if you go into government jobs, you don't have to work over 40+ weeks often and you still get well pay plus all holidays off and have very amazing benefits + retirement investments ensured.

I honestly don't see how software engineering can be S with that abysmal meaning score. I'd rather make slightly less money and actually enjoy work.

Hey it would be really cool if you gave welding engineering some exposure. It’s not well known, but I honestly I’d rank it a A-tier major and not enough people know about it

I would do transport engineer if I wanted a master's, but civil is good for now

People always put civil engineering down towards the bottom, but I (a civil engineer) make as much as my electrical engineer boyfriend and my job is in every single city in the world and every county and state. We have management and people skills that most other engineers don’t. We can work our way up very easily and I have experienced absolutely no problem finding jobs wherever I want one. Civil engineering is a very good degree that can lead to a great career. I’m not sure why so many people list other engineering degrees as so much better.

About agriculture courses next video please. I'm watching your videos from Philippines

As someone who studied Mechatronics for a semester and then made the switch to electrical engineering, I can say that mechatronics is interesting and versatile, but it’s limited to only fields where we have mechatronics systems, for example, productionlines, or robotics you only learn basics in college , which makes you under-qualified in each field(mechanical, electrical, software) compared to someone who only studies that field ,because you just don’t go into depth in each field. You just learn enough to be able to work with systems where all these fields meet and that limits you to only that. Maybe the education will be better in a couple of years, but for now I would just recommend to study one field where you want to be better than anyone else.

I honestly wish I would have gone for mechatronics instead of IE. Since I graduated in '08 I couldn't find any engineering jobs and stopped looking; eventually getting into CSR/tech support for AT&T and Arris/Motorola. At best, the $32k in student loan debt has gotten me a $1/hr differential on positions that were grossly underpaid anyways. Even if I went into Civil Engineering, I would have been state employed a decade ago. MechE would have been way better for me. I can't find a position that uses my IE with minor Math/physics and 15 years out of practice; best I can hope for is picking up handyman services at 1/3 the cost.

In my country, most systems engineers usually go into software development, some get into consulting.

Acompanho seu canal diretamente do Brasil 🇧🇷

I would be interested to see your opinion on manufacturing engineering major

To be an operational marine engineer you have to have associated coast guard licensing, so no not any engineering degree can do it. I just graduated and make $150k+ and only work half the year, but yeah I'm D tier dawg💀💀💀

thank you mate

You could be a well seasoned aerospace engineer and not even come close to affording a mortgage atm.. thats insane.

Can you also make a video of opportunities for telecommunication engineering field?

Would love to see thoughts on airospace engineering

Going back to college to finish my degree this year and once I finish it. I will leverage it for an engineering program, Accerlated RN, or grad school. Chose a “ useless” degree but even then, it can be useful

I live close to a Toyota factory, and they seem to really like Lean systems engineers, so i am going for one of those, especially since i have a very cheap way to get one

Hey have you considered talking about Geomatics Engineering? It's a very different engineering program which has been on the rise for the past few decades which focuses on location science. Basically things like satellites, GPS, surveying, mapping, laser scans etc. It's such a cool field but nobody on the internet talks about it!

Mechanical and Industrial Engineering are my favorite because they are so flexible enough for almost all industries. Nice video,bro. Love this ❤️🌟

I have studied Mechatronics Engineering... But to be honest, there is not such jobs as they ask for "Mechatronics Engineers" it's like we have to decide if we want to focus on mechanics, or in software, or in electrical, or try to combine everything as Embedded Systems Engineer... And by the way... I was waiting for that on the tier list... But my be I missed it?

I major in Chem. Engineering in the Houston area in May, and found a job straight out of school. I earn about 7k a month and overall is really good.

Mining engineering review pls : )

Shane overlooked mining engineering

Be aware that there are 2 careers called "systems engineer." One is closer to industrial engineering and the other is closer to a systems administrator. This could be skewing the metrics.

Can you guys please tell me more about industrial engineering....is it worth doing..ican you please share your experiences or tell me which one will be good to the futurs...pls help me guyss😢

Keep your videos longer!

You should cover nanoengineering. I got my MS degree in it 10 years ago and was the only grad in line for it on my graduation day😂. It is very new, challenging and niche but a great in demand career. SUNY Poly/CNSE had one of the first degree programs for only MS/PhD.

Hi Shane Can You Talk about Engineering Business Management

Please add sound engineering and acoustical engineering in the 2024 version!!!

What do you think about automotive engineering?

Could you do a videos on master’s level programs in niche areas of software engineering: -Artificial intelligence -Data Science - UX/UI - Computational linguistics, natural language processing, or human-language technology (from my research, these are three names for the same thing. This is what I want to go for eventually. I am currently doing a BS in computer science). -Human-computer interaction -robotics and autonomous systems -biomedical informatics Etc

Is telecommunication engineering is a good choice for career?I dun have much informations about that so I hope you can answer about my question.

Mechatronics Engineering is in huge demand with warehouse and manufacturing automation increasing daily it's a Big Deal.

Thanks Shane, I watch your video always. Really helpful. I would like to request in healthcare industry careers.

Well with the recent fusion breakthrough, Nuclear Engineering will probably be a lot higher one day

What would be the equivalent of Informatics Engineering and Systems Engineering in Argentina, on this video? I guess Systems is the same, but the other one?

Please add Automobile Engineering on ur tier lists, I'm currently studying Mechanical Automobile Engineering, which is a degree in my country that teaches u both Mechanical and Automobile Engineering, and I'm unsure which to follow for my masters, if i get Masters on Mechanical or on Automobile

So I’m currently a respiratory therapist at a hospital and wanting to advance. I was thinking of biomedical engineering but haven’t found many jobs in my area. But then I was thinking mechanical engineering because of its versatility. If anyone would like to share recommendations, experiences in their field, and just say in the life of engineering that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My son is deliberating between Colorado School of mines and University of Wisconsin Madison . Exact engineering major not yet defined. Please share your recommendation please!

What is your source for the meaning and satisfaction numbers?

Civil or chemical engineering.... which option to opt

great video, thank. I was wondering what category biomedical engineering falls into.

What about operations research engineering? A lot of the top level schools like Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, USC, and many others offer it as a major.

Would be nice if you talk about management engineering

can you please mention about Engineering Physics also, as it is also more versatile degree .....and more details on it

Just graduated with a Computer & Electrical Engineering degree :)

Can you consider doing a video on financial engineering?

What do you think about robotic engineer (master)? - Guess you could put it under mechantronics, but it is not purely mechantronics either. Combination of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. I Norway the program for robotic engineer is 5 years (master), and you can not take a bachelor in it, but you can take a bachelor in mechantronics. So keeping that in mind means i will be done in 2028 (If i get in). (Bahelor in Norway are 3 years, not 4 as in the US)

can you talk about actuarial and financial engineering pleez

came here to feel good about my EE degree, it got graded into S tier, I'm feeling fabulous :D

Thx

Most Mechatronics graduates go on to become what is called Controls Engineers. They deal with lots of automation which includes electrical and mechanical aspects. Their work is also involved with PLC Programming and designing control panels for automated machines. Hope this information helps :)

I'm watching this cid because I don't know what career to take I'm still in highschool but this helped me choose the career I want

Should I get an elec eng degree or a computer science degree? Which one is better objectively if you don't consider difficulty?

I should be noted that with Computer Engineering you can actually do both Software and Electrical Engineering jobs, so the opportunities are vast. At the entry level it is a pretty common degree for both.

Hello, we start creating a catalog with specialists

Do you recommend 1_biotechnology or 2_biomedical engineering?

hi love your videos, could you do interviews with people in electrical engineering

I am definitely interested in nuclear engineering. Australia doesn't have nuclear power but it will soon have nuclear submarines.

When people talk about electrical engineering, do they include electronic engineering? I know they're pretty related, but do they share the same stats?

Electrical engineer here - amazing career path, you get lots of respect if you're good at your job and get paid really well

Does anybody know about a Design Engineering degree (Bachelors in Engineering)? I have looked at some Universities in the UK, and the course is exactly the same as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical etc, apart from some of the modules in year 2 and 3.

Damn we skipping mine engineering this year too

i am at a public university on environmental engeneering, i like the course so much

PLEASE DO BIOMEDICAL ENG!

If you do EE you should really get a minor in CS. You will likely be programming in the real world and most EEs don’t do enough programming.

For network engineering, there is a high chance you can get a job without even having a degree, Just certifications like CCNA/CCNP etc. The salary might not be as high at first, but you also dont need to go into student debt. Right now im 25 with no degree and I make 70k as a network engineer.

Here in the UK Engineering jobs are beyond dreadful for graduate entry. Even with a Masters from a supposedly good university and applying for numerous jobs the replies have been zero,the Masters was the degree offered by the university and was five years ,now sitting on a pile of debt whilst working as a labourer on a building site with brothers. So beware the degree you take here in the UK whilst lumbering yourself with DEBT jobs are just not there even with supposedly reputable companies.

Hey, in another RU-vid video I saw he said Aerospace is not so promessing as Mechanical engineer and Electrical engineer can also come to Aerospace Engineering career but you as an Aerospace engineer cannot go to theirs careers.

Software Engineering seems fun, but won't AI be doing all of it in 10-15 years?

Sleeping so hard on mining engineering. Super high paying and much easier than any other field of engineering. I get paid to design under ground explosions blowing up rock to get gold. Nothing better than that

Engineers progress humanity. In every way possible. Get paid very low. Unfortunately we live in a popularity/sales based world.

Is textile engineering a good choice?

Computer engineering is so OP, in Spain I have several friends that have NOT finished the degree and found a goodly paid job.

I think you should include Geomatics Engineering as well.

damn you didn't even mention music history engineering

I went on course career it says to make a one time payment so what happens after that?

should I go for computer engineering or mechanical????

I'm an electrical technician and I make more than the nuclear engineer. Kind of sad if you think about it. If your curious, I make $97,000 a year and only work 5-6 days of overtime every year. My highest level of education is associates degree. I'm a 3 time drop out from a university. I've done alright.

HELP PLEASE! I want to study aerospace bc I love planes, rockets and components and dynamics but I am troubled on whether I should choose electrical because I can work as anything Help please
