For a person who never had any interest in engineering, I must say that I find these videos quite and good and informational. I plan to watch every single one and learn more about engineering by doing so
I'm just an 8th grader and am interested in engineering even though it is a college course. So having this year-long engineering playlist is really helpful for me.
i encourage you to search for courses on basic engineering , for example: take a course on building basic electronic circuits or some programming if you are interested in this type of things,you don't have to wait until college to learn you can start simple now and build more advanced stuff later. if you start from such an age you i think you can accomplish great things in your life. Hope you all the best!.
Taha Silat Well, if you ever want to be one, look very carefully at each Engineering discipline. Know what it entails, what you can do with it and, if you're really dedicated, which parts you like and hate. You don't want to end up as an electrical engineer if you hate circuits, or a Biomed if you faint at the sight of blood, etc. I'm a mechanical. It's a well-rounded major that allows you to do many things with a lot of cool design stuff, but this means you have a higher chance of running into something you really don't like. For example: fluid dynamics and control systems ae perhaps the most difficult, boring, mathematically intense classes you will find in any major and are mandatory for Mechs like me. Don't even THINK of Aerospace if fluid dynamics makes you hate life.
I was having a difficult time to get interested in ME. I took ME because my family thinks it's needed for our business. I don't have any idea on what to take back in highschool so I'm here studying with disgust. Then one day during this quarantine, I thought why I am not interested in my own course. It all lies with me not allotting time to "play" and get interested with mechanical engineering. This video inspired me to up my game. Thank you to the creators!
There is a NEW field of engineering: Mechatronic Engineering. Please can you look into it? It'd be awesome to see a video on that. It's mainly robotics, etc, I believe
Basically another way to say robotics. You basically learn how to create electromechanical systems like a robotic arm who’s linkages are moved by a servo motor.
While not new, its more new in how its specialising away from pure Mechanical. Mechanical engineers tend to learn the basics of robots, if that, these days, and from the courses I've seen they don't even touch electrical - a core component of robotics. Mechatronics is starting to be taught as an independent field with a higher focus on the electrical side of engineering, and more detail into how to program both at a base assembly level, and in higher level languages. Similar to how Aerospace these days isn't just mechanical engineering, mechatronics is becoming a more distinct field in itself. They all fall under the broader purviews of the more basic engineering types, but they are more recently becoming distinct entities. I think it would be, on the whole, more informative when we get to the more detailed episodes on each of the broader areas, to start talking about the sub-areas that spring off them, especially as those sub areas start to be taught as independent subjects that many of the viewers of the video may one day wish to study. I think it'd be a bad outcome if someone went to study mechanical engineering at University because of this video, but then realised they actually wanted to be studying aerospace, mechatronics, or biomechanical courses offered at the university instead. Of course, any engineer worth their salt should have developed the skills to jump to a related field without too much trouble, but it would be far more helpful to point them in the direction they're interested in from the start. That said, I don't think things like Mechatronics, Aerospace, or Biomechanical need their own big overview episodes like the big 4. They're going to be doing more detailed videos on certain parts of each field in the future from what I understand, and that'd probably be the appropriate time to introduce the more detailed labels and differences from the core of each category.
Well I have read these comments and honestly, I have to say Mechatronic Engineering might have a future. It is like Robotics Engineering but a better focus on the materials and the power sources as well as the the uses it might have. Unfortateunly this type of engineering is just Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Engineering and Electrical Engineering. For it to stand out someone will have to create something ENTIRELY new. If something like this does happen, Mechatronic still won't be a main branch of Engineering as it consists of other types of Engineering, but it will change the ENTIRE world.
This is awesome! I’ve always said I want to be an engineer but I never really knew what that meant, and this series is giving me a really clear picture of what engineering is and it’s various fields of use. Crash course seriously is such a help to me as a high school student, It saved my World History AP grade 😩😂, Thank you!
The only thing I dislike about this video is it's basically the same video as what "Crash Course: History of Transportation" would be. Where's the HVAC and heat transfer? Where's manufacturing and material science? You can't be a Mechanical Engineer without those!
Can you do a video on Engineering Technology vs Traditional Engineering? Not many know the difference. I am a student in Mechanical Engineering Technology myself (just about done with my Associate's degree). Even TE's (Traditional Engineers) and business leaders have a poor understanding of an ET (Engineering Technician/Technologist). Thanks.
Just this same morning I read an article (in dutch, and paywalled, sadly), on all the recent research showing how better transportation just leads us to do mostly the same stuff, in the same amount of time, over longer distances. This is shown to dangerously loses us our interest and capacity for surviving as a community on smaller scales. Granted, there are problems that demand efficient long distance travel, but it also seems that a lot of engineering solutions get applied dangerously broadly, to the way everyone travels anywhere in this case. A lot of car users could well have lived perfectly comparable lives using only bikes to get places. Overbroad applications of initially specialized engineering may be an interesting topic for a future video?
I've been waiting for this video for a long time! So excited to be pursuing this career path! Very inspiring! Love the series and love this channel! Thank you!
There is a mistake in the part she talks about turboreactors. Even though it is true that the turborreactor was pattented by Sir Frank Whitle, the first turborreactor engine to fly was developed by the German engineer Han von Ohain. It took to the skies in 1939. I cannot provide a link to sources RN, but I will try later. Thanks for the work bringing to every body such a fascinating profession as engineering!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH CRASH COURSE! All that you're doing is very educational to youngsters these days. You have no idea how grateful I am to be able to gain so much knowledge from your channel! I aspire to be a doctor or engineer in the future. Thank you! ❤️
Just recently figured out that I may have missed my calling as an engineer 10 years ago when I was "encouraged" to go into graphic design. I'm relieved that I was eventually forced to stop studying and get a job, so I could discover what I didn't like doing, and discover stuff like this instead.
I feel like engineering needs its own Drake meme : -Creating products for the betterment of society- Creating products for war that have the side effect of bettering society.
What about all about fluid mechanics, heat transfer and energy, and materials engineering. Come on, Mechanical Engineering covers all these fields and more.
I think that this video is great for getting people interested in mechanical engineering but i don't know if it does a good job a really flushing out how it's separate from something like ocean engineering or aerospace engineering. A mechanical will be involved in all these things and can often fill these rolls with time and experience but their lack of specialty means that they might not fill the roles you would think of. For example you would think that a mechanical engineer would design ships and planes and while that is partially true it might not always mean what you think. For example the body of say an aircraft carrier is designed by a naval architect because a mechanical won't have gone through the necessary course work to understand load lines or sea states or calculating ship drag and wake ( though these are all skills you can pick up and a role you can move into as a mech E). Instead a mechanical engineers job building a ship would involve the HVAC ,water piping systems, engine systems on a carrier (these are the 3 places mechanical engineers find themselves in the most) or maybe doing vibration and resonance frequencies testing or hull shock survivality. A mechanical will usually be designing and working on the components of a bigger broader systems rather than the specialized design jobs.
Vaclav Kuchar hopefully business courses are NOT hell! I am switching my major to engineering or at least testing out some of the courses next semester.
Machines are structures which move. Non-machine structures are mechanisms which are locked. Thus civil and mechanical engineering overlap at structures.
I have a diploma in mechanical engineering and thinking if i should further my degree but the thing is i dont think this path is for me. Idk i see a lot of cons on this path i feel like i'm not happy bcs this is not what i want. My dream is to be an astrophysicist, but again this dream of mine needs a lot of sacrifice. I'm in dilemma T.T
There are no engineers outside the US and Britten, I guess. And no mention of cars, really? Also, while the leg thing is interesting, does it have to be included in this short video? As others have already said, maybe a bit more about the engineering side of things would be nice.
Which phase of engineering is best to learn about robotics electrical engineering or machinecal engineering or any other engineering please clarify my dought in the next vidio
If you want to learn about robotics, you can do Mechanics! you will need to understand the motion of the robot and the materials you need to build it, so you need Mechanical Eng. and you need a the chip to process information, so computer Eng. Mechatronics is the combination of the two!
Can you guys help me with choosing one of these. Civil Engineer, computer science, and car engineer I’m stuck on those three and I don’t know which to chose. I’m an 8th grader going to 9th and I want to be ready and make sure I’m ready for a career

LegendofVII it's not an easy major, but it's maybe the most versatile degree in existence. You'll have to give up a lot of partying in college so you can stay home and do homework / study.
