Mechanical Engineering vs Computer Science Majors 

I mean its not gonna stop being useful; but he is right that CS has faster industry growth and is a fresher industry that has more potential.

@@grumpyyellowfang3344 CS having faster growth doesn't change the fact that mechanical engineering is not slightly outdated, which is the claim I refuted.

@@grumpyyellowfang3344 mechanical engineering is not just mechanisms, basically everything that srrounds us except for buildings is mechanical engineering. The structure of everything is mechanical engineering. If computer industry will grow also mechanical engineering will grow because all the components have to be assembled together. Mechanics is in everything because it's a very large part of physics

Most mechanical engineers will be able to code soon anyway as it’s being added to the syllabus so it is definitely staying in date

Yeah it's not outdated at all but his head is in the right place and he seems to be going to college for the right reasons.

No, but the matrix administrator might can do that.

It involves coding

Abe bdsk, mechanical engineering is really outdated. No good jobs.

Even autocad is a “software designed by computer science people

@@rv264 Don't do uneducated comments. Mech engineer can be a software engineer But a software engineer cant be mechanical engineer.

The worst part is that these industries don’t quantify what fully talented engineers are.

They always need people with 70 years of experience

Found an intership after sending100ish CVs. But it's fun !

Exactly 😐😔

As an aerospace engineering graduate - yes. People are only looking for X years of experience. After struggling for five years I'm studying something else now. Thanks engineering

True, engineering is much more important.

yea, although its probably because of the money too. Why go for mechanical when CS earns more?

@@boreddude3898 how about interest, passion and academic inclination? I love my field and study, and absolutely hate writing and debugging code (also super mid at it), wouldn’t be happy in CS. In mechanical engineering I can design things that will be physically created, think of the possibilities, I find that WAYY cooler. But I’m sure plenty CS folk feel the same way about CS.

@@McFlashh hard to think how our current infrastructure could operate without either. Engineering definitely Cs’s daddy thoe.

@@madlad1. I mean fair point, idk. I'm studying EE and shooting for RF engineering, not that I care for it but more for the money. I mainly said that earlier though to explain why not as many people go into ME, which itself is super important and should be given more love IMO

Someone plz give Prize to this man.

@@kaushalsehgal2475 i thought u said pizza

The thing is M.E doesn't really have much jobs in the market when compared to C.S and on top of that there's a huge pay gap

@@adilmk128 Here is the data - around 18K ME Job Posting are posted every year in USA. And if you think you are so incompetent enough that you won't be able to land one of them then there is something wrong. You are a single guy and can do a single job, so if you are passionate and good at it, you will definitely land it.

@@adilmk128 most of the machinery we need(Ed) is already built Nowadays, just building the machine isn’t enough since they all each need to have their own CPU’s and softwares with Wi-Fi capabilities and their own app

Not quite. Civil Engineering takes that title. Without civil engineering, we wouldn't have the many other forms of engineering that we have today such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Military Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automobile Engineering, etc.

@@cxarhomell5867 Civil and mechanical are similar, however mechanical is more important. Civil only deals with static structures (which don’t move), whereas mechanical deals with high static and dynamic (that do move) structures.

@@mikhaelgrigoryev5638 didn’t know that was even a profession. Shouldn’t you be called an optician?

@@McFlashhYou are argued base. Without civil engineering civilisations wouldn’t exist and we’d be still living in caves. It is both the oldest and most important. If we didn’t have houses, no one would’ve had the drive to design things that move much less discover electricity.

@@cxarhomell5867both are important

Lmaoooo, they don’t know what it’s all about bro. Even ME in non renewable are trying to make their practice more efficient. driven by cost reduction but can reduce emissions.

It's sad that they dont know that ME and EE graduates can go into most engineering industries. So they can make medical devices etc. Some people are so ignorant

They don’t know shit about ME lmao.

The world shittier? Hell nah some of us want to burn this world and sold our soul to defense industry Remember morale compass can't keep the light on 😉

My freshman year of engineering, I had an English professor tell me to my face “engineers make the world a shitter place” right after telling the class “the only thing that separates us from the monkeys is running water and electricity” I don’t know, but something tells me that those systems wouldn’t exist without engineers. Oh well, he ended up failing me just because he didn’t like me lol.

Actually its more like the love child of electronics and mechanical. Mecha-nical, elec-Tronics.

@@ogun3378 Yep

@@ogun3378 you said the n word 💀

mechatronics have little to do with computers, so as ogun said

How about MECHASCIENCE

Yeah, not like he rides in a car or plane to college, and then uses a phone, GPS, or literally anything else designed in part by a Mechanical Engineer

Those all go to computer systems engineering now since they’re all integrated systems

Maybe he's talking about the prospects of jobs in CS which is far more promising than Mech jobs

@@duckymomo7935 huhhh? CE and ME work alongside each other in all of those.

@@duckymomo7935 eh? Mech works alongside

actually he is reffering to a song, not to the app itself

@@petrurk6835 that’s kinda even worse 🤣

But what he said it's true, rn TikTok runs the radio

@@yaz3858 if your a DJ or listen to a dj and they only play stuff from the radio, then hate to break it to you but that’s not a real dj lol

@@relate5903 man, interviewer asked him for a song banger and the guy responded TikTok runs the radio, you don't need to overlook it 😑😑😑

Tesla hires mechanical engineers so do every car company.

I'd say a vast majority of us don't have to code, but some of us certainly do.

Computer science has to be on every discipline now

talk to your machinist

Not to mention thermal dynamic applications like Refrigeration units, furnaces, coolers, ACs, and HVAC

You are right but 70% of mechanical engineers in india are unemployed. If any of the luck when job gets with 4 years experiance only pays 25000 if any is going choose mechanical engineering you want sure that you are ultimately skilled With love unembloyed ROYAL mech engineer🥲

Agree, not to mention semiconductors/chips (material science), material reliability, vibration, metamaterials, or even improving existing engines before they can be entirely replaced by electronic systems in the next few centuries. This dude just doesn’t do his own research.

What is the difference between robotics and mechatronics?

@@MinhNguyen-ew9qx In a few centuries to come, the field of Mechanical Engineering will have integrated with Electronics. Electric motors for example are still a work of Mechs since it still involves physical motion even when the principles applied are originally from EE

@@eren_yeager9927 Mechatronics is already the fusion of Mechanics and Electronics. Mechanical Engineering still exists as a separate field, however.

Right

I learned all the controls engineering I needed to know after graduation and on the job. An engineering degree is just a learner's permit. You don't learn how to build things till you're in industry.

@@Tom-tk3du maybe it depends on where you live? I mean I live in Germany, companies still need a lot of mechanical engineering graduate to work in field of semiconductor or process techniques. And those don't grow from a tree (btw I am not Mechanical engineering major, I just by accident know a lot of mechanical engineers)

@@Giang_as_artist No doubt about it, manufacturing microchips requires precision machinery and heat transfer systems. The point I’m making is that a practicing engineers education is lifelong. The academic degree is an indication of aptitude, basic analytical methods, and one’s ability to self-study. But one is not yet ready to assume engineering responsibility for manufacturing high value capital equipment without a few years experience under one’s belt.

And many people don't realize that the worm screw is actually different from the worm gear. ;)

Are ya sure cuz demand juz seems to be increasing year on year here in india

I was thinking the sane. Everyone gonna join it and it never gonna be jobs in it

@@SS-eu2ef the demnad is high for now, but with AI basically replacing human requirements for basic to intermediate codes, most newbies wont have a place to start from

Hey, I have completed learning C language? What should I do?

@@daveins1146 hey there! It depends on your interests, but very generally, once you know a language, you can start doing projects. C is great for hardware stuff. If you're interested, you could try out some simple stuff with an Arduino. There are lots of beginner kits out there. But of course, C is general purpose. Like math? Try project euler. Just want to have fun? Try making a text based game! Most of all, the important part is that you don't stop programming. Just keep looking for things you enjoy, and keep having fun. If you're having fun, you'll do great.

You are life saver!! I took admission in mech eng. And got panic due to sayings like it is outdated or it have less opportunities. However jobs depends on country wise😙

@@kaushalsehgal2475 I think a hugely important bit is to try and get internships as much as possible during your schooling. The experience on your resume will put you ahead when you go looking for a job, and will also make your school experience easier.

@@SamVidovich What is the scenerio of jobs and salary of mech vs CSe in usa or in your country.

CAD had to be invented by computer scientists lol

@@duckymomo7935 the point you making is ? 🤦🏽‍♂️

@@rohinimishra9437 still the field isn't outdated and it can never be

It's not outdated but it's just CS has way more jobs.

@@ripvanmarston1241 and way more applicants

Mechanical teachings and course syllabus is outdated If we have learnt coding then it will be a good use

@@rohinimishra9437 pay gap being bigger doesn’t mean mechanical engineering will ever be a bad career choice. Not everyone wants to code all day, things will always need to be fixed and created!

Hey man, I’m a current ME student planning to work in the aerospace industry as well. Did you have to take up a bachelor’s in aerospace after your ME degree or is it not worth it?

@@jamessolacito1611 it’s not worth taking up another bachelors in aerospace. Just focus on being outstanding in classes like Heat Transfer, Thermo II, Mechanics of Materials, etc. My area of focus is propulsions. But remember MechE classes are versatile they can be applied to practically any specialty in aerospace.

@@tigerrx7 Hey man I want to work in the aerospace field particularly on rockets, propulsions. Looking forward to work with fellow aero engineers in the future!

​@@tigerrx7 hello! Would you recommend post grad in aerospace after bachelors in mechanical ?

You have the advantage that you have that sweet sweet domain knowledge

@JinxBoyyy ?? you serious? it may be a relatively new core field but it is most definitely a core field. computer engineering is a whole different beast

I’m looking to start my M.E path what’s been the hardest class for you

For me it is machine design and engineering drawing

@@maskedman518I am not from mechanical, but I can say engineering graphics might be toughest which I had in my first year

@@maskedman518 Personally, multivariable calculus was pretty rough

Dumb?

It’s UCF

@@238xblaze oh i see

​@@238xblazewhat's that

he said "tiktok run the radio" which is facts. you can admit it, no one will judge

"Tiktok run the radio" doesn't mean Tiktok has the best songs, he means that most songs that goes trending in Tiktok gets played in the radio

he didnt say that you put words in his mouth

​@@af2954 That does not mean that it has the best songs. Most of the songs that are popularized on tiktok are bad.

@@cxarhomell5867 dude. how do you just completely miss the point of my argument? you cannot possibly deny "tiktok run the radio" when top 10 songs of all platforms including the radio are songs popularized on tiktok. reminder to not put yourself on a pedestal because you think it's very special to not enjoy tiktok songs. out of curiosity: which songs popularized on tiktok this year (2022) would you categorize as bad?

What’s a payscale?

@@supercat2087 salary range

@@PhotonShower Thank you xD!!1!!1!1

Yup, I’m a senior CS major and I basically fucking hate it at this point lmao

it's not about if the course is fun or boring, it's about the work itself being fulfilling or not

I am a web dev and I could not asked for a better career path. It is boring when you suck, but once you get good it's just soon interesting cause you can actually produce something super cool in short period of time. For example, I made a basic ASCII filter in Python in a day, I also made a chess bot using alpha beta pruning algorithm. I did some 3D web pages with physics in it. There so many cool things you can do. And there are so many interesting fields. You can be a Data analyst a web dev, a game dev, an AI engineering, you can do BI, be a cloud architect, database architect, etc. You always learn, always have projects. Bte there are a lot of physics involve in some field of CS, like game dev or simulations for example.

@@philippebaillargeon5204 yeah I have a lot of respect for anyone in game development, having to be very knowledgeable in physics and proficient in CS. Kinda really cool that so much of our progress in humanity gets put into those programs just for simple pleasure. That being said, all of those industries sound yucky to me, glad to be an ME in the making, glad you enjoy your field 😁

Yeah when all options are logistically practical, preference is what truly matters. ofc some very remarkable folk come out of pursuing what is extremely logistically impractical.

One day.... Hmmm... But today we mechanical engineers need jobs.

@@omprakashbaruah9425 He is talking about Skilled mech engineers.

I’m sure I could learn enough solid works to keep the world running for maybe a day longer, I’m no mechy tho

But one day without CS the whole world will go backward and end up in lost

@@anonymous-go3cd Exactly, you cant just rely on one specific job to keep the world running, its called division of labor.

The industry is mostly stagnant besides of very few fields like renewable and robotic. But with recent boost of military comples this is gonna change.

😂

How so?lol

How?

If you want to know the process, well, after college i worked in a sewage treatment plant and side by side i did a course on full stack development, MERN stack to be precise and then i got placed by the company that provided the course by a refferal process

@@gauravghosh1991 so you did a course. Hm. What do you think about civil engineering jobs. Is it a good degree with good salary ?

You’re right lol. As an ME, I’d like to do mat’l science too. That seems very interesting

How where the college classes I really want to switch to mech but dont know how likely It is to get a job.

@@lilwalgreenscoldandflu6968 my advice to you would be to do what you enjoy. It may sound cliche but you will perform a lot better in education and work if you enjoy it!

@@benowen7757 I think he might've meant that it is not as valued (pay)

You sure you get paid enough for what you doing rn?

Both fields will merge in future

That's not even what he said but ok

are you the inventor of "Engineering" or what?

@@lonasontsele8674 you need not to be an inventor of engineering to understand it, just because you understand a concept clearly doesn't mean you invented it, please understand what i am saying.

well, there's plenty of jobs in art but you're probably not going to be doing the fun or meaningful parts of it. oh boy can't wait to draw 50 hats in a row, followed by 1 of those hats 50 times in a row followed by your director saying he thinks another hat would look better

@@TheInfectous I get what you mean, pretty disappointing if there's no fun when handling the job :(

Why?Can you please explain.what is there work. I took admission in mechanical engineering.

@@kaushalsehgal2475 heat transfer and material science is a mechanical engineering subject. I guess thats why there is a lot of mechE majors in semiconductor industry

Does a graduate in material science get job in semiconductor industry ?

@@amaldiariesofficial.2082 could be possible, we have chemical engineers here as well but these jobs would probably be very limited as there’s not much demand but it’s possible!

@@kaushalsehgal2475 even though everything is electrical or computerized like he said there are still the mechanical aspects. To make the wafers require machines that move as well as testing them and these machines are VERY expensive and sensitive so mechanical engineers are always finding ways to make them more efficient, vibrate less, run faster, etc. Another way to see this is EVs! They are electrical cars but still have mechanical parts to make the car move which be the role of a mechanical engineer to get it to work.

Can confirm. Everyone I worked in aerospace were just mechanical engineers.

Why do you say so? I was planning to do CS for the money? What’s your advice since you’ve been in the process?

@@issaissa4974 if you want money then go study business mate

He's not talking about mechanical in general. He is talking about his future in mechanical is out dated. Like from job opportunities to pay.

Lmk bro. Spill some knowledge

I do agree that mechanical engineers are the most versatile, but not many universities offer it anymore

Mechanical just has less openings due to the nature of almost everything we need already exists and the body of knowledge in engineering is not going to increase as much of the openings available for engineering too, they demand experience already which is oof for graduates If anything, computers alone will have to be part of every engineering curriculum because every algorithms and software was designed by computer science

@@mcds6307 Is EE better than CS?

@@McFlashh EE is more interesting because I know much less about it and a lot of is very fascinating, more than I expected (especially the electronics - computer engineering parts), however ultimately I prefer CS. There's nothing like able to work remotely from anywhere in the world

@@mcds6307 I would like to work on developing graphics cards for Nvidia, would you say that requires EE, CE or CS?

@@McFlashh Depending on what part of the cards you want to work on, a different major is more fitting. If you want to design the physical circuit, EE is what you want, but CE will definitely cover that too, if you want to develop the digital logic circuits on the cards, CE is more fitting, but both EE and CS will also work. If you want to develop the embedded firmware on the cards, CE or CS is better, but EE is good too. Overall, I'd say for that you want, it's CE > EE > CS

Waaat daa faaakkk betaa!!

I think mechanical and electrical engineering will go more hand in hand in future, so mechatronics

Just saying that your car has software which was created by a software engineer.

​@@McFlashhwe dont need that at all

@@_el_luis In today’s day and age software is used everywhere, it’s in extreme demand too and that’s why software engineers get paid the most out of all engineering disciplines.

I love this, but mechanical engineering can be done by people who didn't go to school

@@bluice2776 lol I can say for a fact u don't know anything about mechanical engineering, specially engineering not what Indian colleges teaches. For subjects like heat transfer everyone can understand conduction, but calculating conduction based material properties and time varying condition needs a PhD for all cases, similarly flow dynamics a small mistake people die, now thermal power plant without thermodynamics it's nothing, and it's not just basic 2nd law application in depth is next level. I'm not saying this because of ur opinion on ME but I honestly feel u don't need schooling for cs engineering , basic maths with 6 months course we can pretty much get any job, with some experience anything can be done right
