Learn design engineering. That's where the future is. I've been doing the new design stuff and engineering of building stuff for 55 years. Listen to this guy, but learn to think in design.
What design software do you recommend? I’m familiar w autoCaD, atuoDesk INVENTOR, Fusion, ANSYS, and some MatLab. I would appreciate your reply big time 👍
@@albierodriguez9797 I'm not an expert or anything, so take my words with a grain of salt: Learning design software is just a small step in the huge process, learning software alone doesn't take us anywhere. What I think is more important is to learn the fundamental theory, like materials science, numerical methods, solid mechanics, dynamics, theory of machines, control systems and machine design. Without having a firm understanding of these concepts, learning any design or engineering software is literally of no use, it's effectively like learning how to aimlessly press a bunch of buttons on screen. But when you learn the subject, you'll be able to leverage any software to its maximum potential. If you just learn and master a CAD/CAM/CAE software, at the best you'll be a draughtsman or CAM/CAE engineer, who work under an actual design engineer. In most cases, a design engineers themselves do the CAD/CAM/CAE stuff, so these days a career as a draughtsman or CAM engineer is kind of becoming obsolete (it'll be there for a while) due to the advent of rapid prototyping (you know this if you're an amateur Fusion 360 user). I've also heard that it is less often for fresh graduates (unless they're from a very reputed university and academically exceptional) to get a job as a design engineer, because most of them these days are just learning core concepts in a superficial manner and focusing more on specialized stuff and software, which is not in the likes of companies. With that said, our product design professor (who also happens to be a design engineer at GE) recommends us to learn SolidWorks, MATLAB and machine learning. If you're planning to be a robotics design engineer (mechanical), specifically, then along with those mentioned before, you're expected to be able to comfortably develop programs in Python (since it's gained a high reputation among mechanical robotics engineers as a quick language to develop prototype algorithms for their robots, which will then be optimized and translated to machine-friendly code by robotics software engineers).
It was a pleasure to have you, Sabin! Lesics is helping the engineering community to be stronger with technical skills and real learnings. Hats off to your efforts :)
Thank you Sabin for such a wonderful contribution. I am currently a third year undergraduate student. After graduation, I still will follow your lessons and advices.
Being a Design Engineer & Project Engineer I completely agree subject knowledge is very very imp... There was a time where I had to work with a senior design engineer, where we had to improve design keeping an overall weight from 317kg to 315kg and at a reduced cost...he managed to design with a weight of 314kg and told me as weight reduced so the cost will be reduced...The design was complicated..looking at it I asked how will we manufacture it...he ignored me...he was just happy that he managed to do the design in 314kg...since he was my senior I kept quiet, still regret it...But during the actual production, the cost of manufacturing increased by 2.4 times than the actual design. even time of manufacturing increased by 6.5hours for each batch The point is subject knowledge is very very important
Thank you for sharing your experience. But I'm curious, what happened after? Did the project was given to someone else? Did he managed to fulfill the requirement after? If yes then how?
I see it all the time people get paid to look like they are improving things on paper and cause problems for others to solve in the practical side of things
101: You must know how to draw. Your mind was born with the ability to visualize things and draw them bare hand. Everything else then is easy. Otherwise don’t waste time . You will success somewhere else
Very useful video; appropriate for the current mindset that is held by engineers. Those seniors who say that Subject knowledge is not important are actually saying so to cover up the fact they did not study during their college days.
Hey I just love the way you explain. And yes I am final year mechanical engineering student and have seen almost all your videoes you are doing great job. I am a man with same attitude and I want to work with you. Hope we will meet soon. "Interesting is engineering , engineering is interesting." 😀😀
waah kya baat kahi hai........mann ki baat.......... kuch din pehle aise hi ek relative ne mujhe bola tha aur debate kiya tha practical knowledge aur subject knowledge par...woh aise hi bol rahe thee ki practical knowledge is more important and tum subject knowledge walo ko kuch nahi ata practical and also practical knowledge hi sirf lagta hai industry mein aur subject knowledge ka koi use nahi hee....... but aab mujhe unka kaam samaj mein agaya hain......woh kis level ka kaam kar rahe hai woh..... uus time muje unko jawab nahi dena aya......but agli baar seee inko mast explain karunga ..
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Engineers have massive constraints that limit their creativity. Cost, availability, supplier networks, legalities, and many other boundary conditions are involved. So, it's not like doing your senior project in college. The same applies to R&D. Engineers must be willing to deal with all the constraints with patient perseverance.
Very true Sabin. Without designing technoligies all the current technologies can not work in real world. Designing makes an idea to work. Keep rocking buddy with new desings.
I agree. Good design engineer should be able to predict desired performance by knowing the basic principles even before sinulation and calculation. This procedure, narrows down possible configurations
Hi Sabin this is Engr. Ibrahim Omer and your thoughts are very insightful and I fully agree with them. I appreciate the way you explained the importance of subject knowledge, as it can help to clear up many misconceptions that young engineers might have.
I agree on the subject knowledge point but what matters more is the ability to dream and think of something new. Many engineers don't know ABT subject knowledge but have ideas ABT great products.
agreed, but there still needs to be someone who can turn these ideas into reality and a dream or scratched out drawing of a product doesn’t quite sell as much as the physical working product itself
I am a 25 year experience design engineer. through my life i didn't see a perfect engineer like you. i insists my juniors to get good knowledge of mathematics and science. while I take interview firstly i ask questions form pythagoras theorem and trigonometry, if the person gives correct answers then only i will ask some higher level questions. In your speech i was very impressed @ 5:58 you said a key word that was, 'ability to predict the future' really this is the thing every design engineer ought to have. and you insisted that, while doing analysis in a software for testing models we must have own knowledge to accept whether the software is giving correct answers or not, indeed i am appreciating that ❤ ❤❤
I wish I saw this video in my first year of University, now after finished all of the subjects, I feel like I don't know much from what I learnt, just a few subjects, at the end of the Mech Eng degree.
I think that any engineer should experience three levels of what I call "Engineer Life Cycle"; Innovation, Implementation, Observation and Development. We can see these levels in real life as Design, Peoject or Manufacture, Operation and maintenance and finally Optimization.
I'm a Btech ECE student,,I want to work in the areas on Photonics, Microwave engineering & Metamaterials. I want to become a Researcher in these areas. Love from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh
Dw its not rude at all. I say this as an Indian. As a matter of fact please do email or reach out to them and suggest it, I will try too. It helps us and u so it is not offensive or rude at all.
If we increase the length of connecting rod thier is no change in engine speed because when piston complete 1 oscillation = 1 rotation Thier is no change in no.of rotation of wheel Hope u understand
I think India should ban private engineering colleges as companies tend to seek for IIT's and NIT's student, no matter how much strong your CV is how much great your project maybe. If they recruit so, they tend to provide pocket money like salary with 8-10hour of work, firstly took as intern
Really awesome video and awesome content... Please upload this kind of videos... It will help us get out of our false beliefs and more knowledgeable for us
As a structural analysis engineer, I can say pretty much "yes". If you are going to analyse something, you need formulas, you need to know the theory. But if you are just planning to use a CAD software and draw some pretty pictures, then I would say, overall "no". But the second case does is not being a "real engineer" imho.
@@outplayed4511 do you have to get an M.tech in Structural Engineering or B.tech is enough to get into Design Field...plz reply I would like to know about your academic approach to Structural Engineering field.
As a EE I'm going to say no. Some of the basic theory is important like understanding power factor. A lot of the stuff is just learned on the job. I'm in substation design doing 230kV and up stations. I've done 0 integrals or anything fancy. But knowing how to read a datasheet and engineering plans (i.e. building off another persons work) is really important. If you were to go into transmission planning then some of the higher level theory comes into play, a lot of the stuff in that group went over my head
@@brimmed You are not a design engineer. Consider this. Can you select any material for your transformer? Will it have effective heat dissipation by the fluids and the fins? How much will be the power loss in different atmosphere and temperatures? What will be the safe thickness of wires to supply the power? How should you design to get minimal power loss at reduced cost? what design of the transformer will decrease the manufacturing cost? How much upper limit of voltage that it could sustain? All of these have been calculated already but a design engineer will try to improve and increase the efficiency at lower the cost. And you cannot do that without theoretical knowledge. I'm a mechanical engineer so I don't know in depth knowledge about transformer.
Thank You so much sir, 🙏 For sharing such fact talk about a design field work. Keep making such videos, because it's can guide us In a proper way...(because I believe - advice of experienced person are necessary for junior to adjust easily in a field nature.)
Prototype and Testing (race products) has gotta be so exciting! I was born a design engineer. HS dropout, but ARC, LASER Precise, and the DONE Group thought i graduated engineering school. lol smh
@@konstantinosarvanitakis6330Sir what type of team are you talking about ? I am interested to know more from your side... Since I am also a Mechanical Engineer improving my designing skills and knowledge.
Had I known this 4 years ago I shouldn't have been suffering so far.... Thanks. We were told that we didn't need subject knowledge, in the end we are caught up...
Problem is, many thinks that science is appendix to engineering, whereas they fail to understand that engineers basically are applied mathematicians working on big chunk of physics or physics + chemistry. Dearth is of understanding mathematics geometrically, so it can be used practically on physical process in order to generate mathematical equation. No one has good knowledge of mathematics, nor anybody teach it. Good mathematics learned engineers never face barrier while going through multiple engineering field while designing the product. In future, design engineers only will b considered as real engineers & others with same degree & bad maths will b helpers. This will give rise to future which someone said about, that, in coming future "either you will give orders to machines or will take orders from machines", depending on one's capability. And this is happening bcz world once again is bending toward scientific research, rather than mere industrial manufacturing.
Hello,Sir. I had a request, if possible can you relate a design problem of an actual project showing what inputs were given (means problem faced) and how did you solve it? I have knowledge of analysis problem where we know which material is used is known and also dimensions (geometry), we have to find the value of load acting on a certain part where stress concentration is maximum by using finite element analysis. I really wish you make a video regarding what design problems are faced and give an insight on as to how to solve it. A latest practical example would really be helpful. P.S. : Please correct me if i am wrong regarding my knowledge of solving analysis problems, i know there might be other things for consideration, i was just giving an overview. Big fan of your videos.
Design Engineer = 10 years of studding and decades of constant learning. Lots of hard work, having to make the product work perfectlly and reliably before it is released to the market. Getting paid small change. Programmer = 2 month course in C++. Type a bit, let the peasants in Engineering test it out, fix 10% of the bugs, release the software to the market. Get paid 5 times more than the Design Engineer.
@@DashCamSerbia Your comment is funny! You hate software but you use it every day even when you written this comment. There is a big difference between a programmer and a Software Engineer, you can google it. Catia, Inventor, Ansys, Comsol, Autocad and all other tool you use in engineering is made by Software Engineers and all other position related to it.
@@modelistul Using and making something is completely different. And Engineer would understand that. Programer on the other hand... Although, I also hate using software too, I give you that. I know what I want to do, but software (made by idiot programers, who don't know shit about Engineering) makes me go through 17 steps in order to do a single simple little thing. I would rather just design on pen and paper, the way shit software is...
great explanation thank you for this video..but its little late i m in final year i skipped lots of things ...now i have to learn again all the things even after graduation.but this time i will lern with intrest without skipping
Dear sir, In oil & Gas industry there are many important mechanical equipment use like Mud Pump, Shale Shaker and many more my request to make the videos on them
Plz make a series of vedioes on this topic, so that more of us became design engineer or at least engineer. Plz try to understand what I try to say, I know you understand , and I hope you will going to work on my request. Thanks a lot for such vedio.
second after ted-ed...to depict indian finest work at global standards at least...i would recoomend this channel to higher authorities for such a good work
Betul sekali, membangun software simulasi dengan hasil yang nyata terkadang hanya menghasilkan project animasi khayalan pada perangkat yang nyata dibutuhkan artificial data yang benar bahkan fundamental dalam fisika lama saja tidak cukup kita bisa memahami bagaiman unsur micro carbon kedepan akan merubah semuanya dari sistem mekanis. Sehingga saya menilai banyak investasi teknologi tidak menghasilkan lebih banyak dibanding investasi lainnya, sejauh ini teknologi yang terpakai hanya algoritma pencurian data pribadi yang dijual
My college is Big and beautiful. But the teachers there do not know the subject they are teaching😢...Situation of most of the engineers learning in private college be like this🤦♂️.college only needs your money💲.
