Ranking Engineering Courses from Easiest to Hardest 

What’d you get in the class?

Physics is what I love, the reason why I went to this degree. But I do agree some of the questions the professors give you as little information as possible and overcomplicate the problems even with the lenguage of the question...

I took physics too but the one that physicist level one it was PHYS 121 I think that one is even harder than the engineering one. Got a C cause Mastering Physics saved me otherwise exams made me literally cry.

@@Hxhz-hl1gg ended up with a C and am taking Physics 2 this fall

Do you recommend creating a Free course work in English on these Subjects on RU-vid. Would people watch those?? I am good at these subjects and have enough free time to have full courses explained in easy manner with solved questions. Any recommendations.

I feel that

this is why grades shouldn’t matter that much

Fair enough haha, I can see that

I agree, I thought the electronics were the most difficult classes as well. However, I think with a majority of these classes the difficulty is dependent on how good the professor is at teaching and how strict they are with their exams.

@@RC-io7ie yep. Usually people in mechanical courses have trouble with electronics for reasons like 1- You learn in one class concepts that electric engineers learn in multiple classes, 2- it envolves a way of thinking very different from mechanical stuff and 3- It various a lot from professor to professor. Mine was terrible, I literally just passed because of the help I got from internet classes and youtube videos explaining.....

I'm struggling with Engineering mechanics

Ya haha ur not alone…it was a struggle for many

I had the same problem in physics 1. My entire class did. And I’m still going strong as a sophomore.

@@xxbatman69xx98 Well Physics 2 is much harder ;-; Also- where is statics in this video :0

@@lapetitefleur3482 WHAT I loved physics 2 so much (though that’s because I’m going electrical engineering) so I didn’t struggle with it at all.

@@lapetitefleur3482 also I can’t blame him for forgetting about statics because it was such a boring class.

Professors can honestly make or break engineering

Good job. Maybe next year you will like chemical engineering listening to another person.

Haha thanks, but I didn’t go anywhere 😅

LMAO ur right...but the exam was insanely difficult 😔

@@TamerShaheen idk for some reason dynamics just came naturally to me. Easiest A out of my curriculum. Really depends on the professor

Some people will just complicate a subject. I watched my 8 year old sister get taught how to play chess and she was just confused even more. I sat down with her and taught it my way and she figured it out much faster and loves chess after that

@@matviyk3066 yes, some people just like to make their subject hard for students, idk is it their ego or something, some are not good educators, they don't know how to teach.

@@mehanikal5639 I’ve heard that a lot of times professors are just researchers teaching

Hello I am going to start my undergrad on my bachelor's on (pre) mechanical engineering this fall and am very confused about the courses to take and there are all these different terms like perquisites and electives and additional stuff which is very confusing. So I wanted to know if you could tell me which courses are useful but not that difficult for my first year in Western Michigan University in the US. Thank you for your help in advance!

Yeah, Calc 2 was difficult as hell....but if you cannot integrate, you can't Engineer. Calc 3 was only useful for partial differentials.

@@inorite4553 Respectfully, I found calculus 3 to be significantly more challenging due to the amount of visualization present. Once you understand the concepts in calculus 2 it really isn't that bad. The professor also matters as i've heard that calculus 2 is a hard class to teach competently.

I’m a dual computer and electrical major and facts, signals and systems was my worst class. Didn’t help that I took it as an 8-week course during summer 2020 lol

lol i have the signal and systems exam next week and I'm really struggling a lot

CprE here too. I though the toughest courses were "Waves & Fields (EE)" and getting tossed into a Junior level Engineering Mechanics course w/o any of the background all the MEs had taken. My favorites were the EE and CprE labs where we designed and built circuits -- so satisfying to get to build them and see them work.

​@@wangarangmiao8888how did it go

@@Determinator21 It was 2 years ago almost lol but well, 28/30

which uni did you attend? I am thinking about KingAbdulAziz uni!

@Element cute

I thought every one needs to take those before getting into engineering in university

@@TamerShaheen I took pre-cal 1/2 in the summer before I started uni, but physics is pretty standard.

@@TamerShaheen For Waterloo, those are the requirements, but many/most public/private schools in America require math up until Precalc so you’re on track to Calc 1. 👍🏿 Great video btw! This excites me as I’m planning on majoring in Civil Engineering later this year when I start college in the fall.

@@samiulhuda9413 cool thing! Hmm I think every uni is different and idk if they would relate to my experience, but my take is: There are 2 MAIN branches, if you want to work on mechanical engineering as an actual engineer or you see yourself more as an investigator/scientist. If (and only if) you would like to do investigation take math and more "theoretic" classes. In my experience, you need math to understand what you are doing but it should not be your priority. The more "applied" a course sounds, the more useful it will be if you want to actually work on design or work with machines and installations in general. Programming is useful, 3d design, technical drawing, excel, and in general any course that does not HEAVILY rely on full theoretic base (all courses should rely on theory, and you -should- understand it with importance, but it should not be the final objective). Now, idk if "pre" mechanical engeneering will include some of this more applied stuff. First and second year usually are mostly theory. Let me know if you need anything

Yea that would be good, any project helps. Then use the experience u get from that project to work on ur own projects from scratch.

I loved math 116. Math 115 really depends on ur prof tbh. I had a shitty prof and found it hard, but others had a good prof and found it easy.

I agree 💀💀

I took linear algebra with calc1 at the same semester and linear algebra relates abit to calc.

EE in uottawa. If you are in EE, Fourier and Laplace transform is your best friend 0.0

Its useful for data measurements and calibrating

What school do you go to because I took an ECE 105 class last year and it was hell on earth😮‍💨

Work on personal projects. If you’re a complete beginner, then use an arduino and a breadboard to work on basic electrical projects. If u have no ideas, then google “arduino projects for beginners” and do those. That’ll help u get future internships and jobs. Also, consider looking into the Eagle CAD software.

@@TamerShaheen thank you very much!

Haha how many years do u have left?

@@TamerShaheen hopefully not more than a year. I was supposed to graduate 6 months ago, but we all know this isn't easy.

We had that in third year of high school

Haha I had to 😂

Yup

Appreciate that :)

What scale did you have in mind?

@@TamerShaheen I think a scale based purely on the courses difficulty would have been better, because with this one, it's like we have several variables and the grading scale loses Its meaning, in my opinion

@@marcoskrupiczer6595 agreed

In north america there is no Abitur so the entire degree takes an entire year longer as they spend first year teaching what german students should already know. You'll notice most German bachelor of engineering programs are 3 instead of 4 years.

For complementary electives, I took religion studies. But, for technical electives, I lool courses like biomechanics, HVAC, Energy, Fluor Controls and Optimization

I feel that 😕

honestly he needs to swap heat transfer and dynamics 😂

@@claraghattas6984 yeah that’s facts, his school was prob super light

@@beatsbyturbo6233 not necessarily, I guess everyone has their strengths but i’ve never met anyone who said that heat transfer was easy, that’s usually the worst class throughout the whole undergrad

@@claraghattas6984 dam

When u look at heat transfer from a high level point of view, there are so many patterns! Especially when learning the concept of the Nusselt number. Also, this is just my opinion haha so take what I say with a grain of salt. I hated dynamics and enjoyed heat transfer...might be cuz of my profs 🤷‍♂️

Mechanics of Materials is just another name for statics

Initial speed is something you'd have to calculate yourself, since point P is a point in space orbiting the Earth. The wording is poor (it's not "taking off" from that point, it's beginning a maneuver). You don't need to know the mass of the shuttle because the question isn't asking about the amount of force it'll take, only the change in speed. Part a) is easy and a first year student could solve it. Part b) is probably the bulk of the problem and what you learned in the Dynamics course. I'm not sure, I was a CS student and only took Mechanics (thus why I know part (a) is solvable by a first year student). This might require a differential equation since the shuttle will lose speed while traversing between the two points. Part c) I don't understand. Since the satellite is 300,000km up and point P is 200,000km up, the satellite and the shuttle will have different orbital periods and it's more just a matter of timing. If they're meant to be on the same orbit but just opposite of each other as the diagram shows, and one of the numbers is in error, then the shuttle will never hit the satellite during this maneuver.

@@saintsword23 aah okay I didn't get that it was orbiting the earth. The last part is pretty straight forward from there. Draw a circle with point P and than just draw a circle around that. At its furthest point, the r (shuttle to earth) is larger than 3Mm. While at the closest point the r is smaller than 3Mm. Therefore there are at least 2 interceptions. But the satellite is at the opposite point of P, so we only have to account for 1 interception. Than just calculate the place where the shuttle intercepts with the satellite trajectory (keep in mind that the satellite will probably make full laps before the shuttle is in reach). From there you can calculate the speed at which the shuttle probably reaches the point at the same time as the shuttle. The question could be better understand as "which shuttle speeds should be avoided"

Sooo is that good or bad?

Haha I had to

Everyone is a little different I guess

What do you mean? Do you have specific questions?

@@TamerShaheen I mean what job can we do in mechanical engineering. Because next year I need to choose between mechanical engineering and industrial engineering.

@@sereibothsek9739 mechanical engineering is better. Industrial engineering is more about management, production impromevent etc. But if you are good at languages, and you like to communicate with people for example it may be more fun to you. Sorry for my English.

@@dominikbaricak9589 thank you

This guy's video is baffling lol ...no wonder he's an ME. He literally said Calc 2 is useless in upper year courses and Calc 1 is more useful LMFAO. He is full of shit.

@@USNEM yeah. Calc 1/2 are super useful for upper division classes.

To be honest, chemistry for engineers is roughly the equivalent of a grade 11 chem course. Aside from long lab reports, you just learn rate laws and i.c.e tables with a touch of the "pv = nrt" law. I agree with the video, the course is complete trash.
