@@theastuteangler I am currently doing that and I don’t recommend it. I usually pick my classes before 1:30pm and I go to work 2-10:30 pm. I study at 11pm- 12 or 1 am. (Full time employee/student)
I’d argue that they do… Or at least teach you the fundamentals. You have to remember you’ll never be the expert in everything, but the knowledge you gain from your studies should teach you how to go out and find & understand the information you need to solve your problem. No course or educator can provide you with all the information you’ll need in your career. As engineering is such a broad field.
Wissam Seif. Plz also share the videos consisting of calculations etc that a mechanical engineer do in field or during his job,either he is design engineer, maintenance engineer or anyone.
I am in bussniss college but i love engines and cycles So i want to design and make an internal combustion engine project that really work So what is the plan to make this what is the books what is the courses ?? Pls make a plan for me
This really helps! I am going to take my first engineering class Statics this fall! I love the math and physics behind mechanical but the problem was I had no idea wth mechanical engineers do haha. I'm certain that I would enjoy working in a start up versus a big company.
Learn a lot of things while doing engineering AutoCAD Catia Computer programming PLC programming Invest in doing small projects(remote controlled vehicles, driverless vehicle (small scale) etc) Look out for internship and throw yourself for other knowledge. Remember, a good Mechanical engineer will learn 10 new things and will do 100 more... If you are just going to hang on your B. E then get ready for packages ranging from 4 to 6 lac per annum. With above mentioned skills and experiences you can get 5 to 10 times more than what I mentioned above.
Annual job hopping as an engineer is not a big deal in engineering for most companies. The best way to grow your experience is job hopping. Big companies pay more but can often over extend you with paperwork, procedures and changes. Smaller companies usually don’t pay well enough but offer a great opportunity to innovate or use older knowledge.
Bro engineering is so interesting to me, it’s just the math that is stopping me from going through with this degree because I’m so bad at it. I know someone who is aerospace engineer and he loves his job
there will be a lot of math.But just know that math is just practise you being smart makes it easier. not being smart doesn't make it impossible it just makes it slightly harder. Try practising math more. AND try to remember that you will most likely not succed your first try( your first exam or two on math when you practise it). BUT pushing through that will make you better at math i promise you
Maths is kind of weird. Maths always feels too difficult to learn while you learn it. But afte a while, you'll just randomly become comfortable with what you learned in the past and wonder why you struggled with it. The key to maths is learning the concepts. Doing maths itself is trivial when you know the concepts. I did a maths undergrad,a nd then an engineering masters. During my maths undergrad, I can probably count on one hand how many practice questions I actually got right during my course. I got pretty much everything wrong and I felt extremely out of my depth. But I still finished my degree with the highest possible grade. So don't let your feelings discourage you, just work hard.
I have recently failed an advanced level physics lab course which I did all I could to pass but my TA grade so harshly even after going to office hours and applying the feedback I received from them.
As a mechanical engineer myself I agree with everything you’re saying. I’ve worked for both big companies (Bosch) as well as smaller companies, and oil and gas companies. As you’ve mentioned with big companies it’s more structured, you’re generally a small cog in a big machine. I personally enjoy working for smaller companies as you get involved in more parts of the business and your impact is more direct. A massive part of my role is testing, report writing, some design, talking to suppliers and solving customer complaints or questions. My advice to anyone who truly wants variety and a lot of design work, is to look at working for a design consultancy that operate in various sectors (medical, consumer goods, industrial etc). That way you’re most likely to work on different projects. Again these kind of roles have their cons as not every project you work on will make it to market, and these types of roles are really competitive. My last bit of advice to budding engineers is don’t be afraid to fail, and try to find out what you enjoy and what you don’t in your first couple jobs. Good luck to everyone out there, engineering is definitely an awesome career. Specially when you see things you’ve designed being used by people, and making an impact in everyday life.
It’s nice finding someone describing the packers that easy ! I always struggle trying to explain what I design.. (packers by the way!!)I like your videos keep it up!
I really like your story! It’s so motivating and I totally feel it! I am also impressed how you read my thoughts ;) My question is: how did you find the aerospace startup? Could you please recommend some sources? Or a strategy to get into a similar startup?
Yes, I 100% agree with you. It's all about people skills and being able to work in groups, and make phone calls and conduct yourself professionally more than it is about having all the skills. It's hard to find people with the right attitude, and a good work ethic. Skills like CAD, programming, AutoCAD can be taught, and so can people skills to an extent. I've definitely heard that the real world is nothing like Engineering school. That's exciting to me, because I get to work with people and apply my skills with them.
Honestly I think if you need to ask that you may not have made the right choice, choose what you enjoy bro and you will be much happier as you get older.
Pretty interesting channel. How did you break into Aerospace from O&G? I work as a mechanical engineer for an engineering firm in the O&G sector and I feel like there are basically no transferable skills to work in Aerospace or perhaps anything else other than O&G. Did you have to do some extra schooling? Most of the requirements I have seen are very specific, e.g. experience with FEA modeling, programming language, CAD modeling, just to name a few. Thanks, and keep up the great videos.
To add to this there are a lot of transferable skills. I have worked in O&G, military, product development for consumer products. The main thing is to show you have a good grounding in your engineering knowledge. As any software you use will still require you to have a basic understanding of what you’re doing. For me making the transition between industries o had to go back to basics and explain that during interview process. Good luck
Was really relived to hear you describe your design engineering job because that's basically exactly what I want. But was worried that those types of jobs didn't exactly exist.
I'm completing my mechanical engineering degree right now but in truth I don't feel confident about it. I started my time in academia studying computer science and I felt like I really loved it. After getting my associates in that I transfered to a new school where I began to study ME. Both of these fields so interesting, but part of me feels like I'm leaving my heart behind in computer science. I just hope I'm not making an expensive mistake.
When I was young, I was very good at Technical drawing and carving artefacts with woods, tin sheets, papers and virtually any material than could make me realize my concept. Because of the imaginative mind I had for designing and developing technical components, I decided to read BSC. Mech. It wasn't too easy for me, so I graduated with a 2nd class lower. Now a part of me feels I should have gone into typical designs like Architecture and professions that purely based on CADWORKS. Although I'm a Mechanical engineer at this part of the world, A part of me feels like I'm leaving that part of me full of talents in technical engineering drawings and designs. Now I'm looking at taking a Masters Program or training course in engineering drawing and Designs but my greatest fear is whether there are going to be easily available job in the design industry and as to whether it would make me lucrative money. It's hard at this part of my world and so I do not want to pursue a profession that won't make me money. #please all your comments and suggestions will be deeply welcome
Assuming it was entry level, how did they help you at the start? Did you have a supervisor double checking your work etc. I have imposter syndrome and worry that what I learned in school won't prepare me for a real job.
I had a question, do you think with alot of factory work and things of that nature moving overseas that alot of this engineering work will be too? Also with the rise of technology and computers do you think it would be wiser to go for software engineering? These aren't criticisms of your videos, they are honest questions from someone interested in the field
As a mechanical engineer myself (from the UK), I’d say there will always be a need for mechanical and electrical engineers. Software engineering and artificial intelligence will continue to develop and I would say is a good course to go on. But more importantly go with something you enjoy! There would always be a need for engineers to design and test products. Especially medical and military applications.
Dunno sounds like you need to multiskill. I’m learning mech engineering as an extension into my mechanical trade. Therefore not only being able to design parts but manufacture and test them all accordingly. Coming from a trade it’s enlightening to learn the technical know how as the why to got with the how. I know from experience that fitters are forever modifying design. It’s going to be interesting in applying those experiences into better designs
@Wissam Seif RE: ". . . and our goal is to develop a hypersonic air-breathing engine." Do you work at Reaction Engines, LTD? Are you involved with the SABRE engine for the unmanned Skylon space drone?
Thanks for making this video! I’m starting my senior year for my bachelors degree rn so the work life is going to be happening in the next year to year and a half for me
dude, are you working for reaction engines? Because the only company I know working on airbreathing hypersonic engines at least publically is reaction engines with their Skylon spaceplane.
What do you think about an undergraduate degree in physics and then masters in mechanical engineering? I'm in high school and I'm torn between physics and engineering. I want a broad understanding of everything so I can solve any problem from the ground up. I want to be that engineer who really knows his physics and math. I'm afraid I won't be good enough at physics after my engineering course and I'll forget all the formulae.
@@WissamSeif thank you 😂. It's nice to finally hear someone with an engineering jobs to tell me what he thinks. All year 4th year engineering and physics majors have been telling me different things about each others degrees but honestly engineering just looks like the perfect way to be appreciated and paid for someone's love for physics and math 😅. And physics majors like to make fun of engineers for sloppy math but from what I've seen engineers learn pretty high level math , and both the math and physics degree go up to differential equations and that's it so there's that😂...

what degree did you do in school to become a renewable energy engineer? It's something that I am interested in but I'm not sure which path I should take. I'm leaning towards mechanical engineering.
@@SaviourInDistress well I studied at a renewable energy engineering school to become a renewable energy engineer, but in general, I think that all engineers programs are slightly the same in terms of content, we all study thermodynamics n physics n math, with a little bit of focus on subjects related to energy and renewable energy. hope that my answer was a good one for ur question n I hope that u realize what u r aiming for !
@@marouaneaarour9562 thank you for taking the time to answer! Ill look and see if there any courses like the one you did in my area, sounds like it was interesting at least. Have a good day :)
Wissam Seif Thanks, did you pursue an advanced degree? Do you recommend pursuing an advanced degree in the field of engineering (specifically mechanical engineering)?
Wissam Seif. I have a request that I have just got a degree in mechanical engineering. What kind of mechanical knowledge should I use to get a job so that I can pass the test or the interview?
So I’m just going to have to build a business with you guys cuz school sucks, so if that’s the fun part....I’m gonna kms. Thanks though this is the biggest help to my plan I’ve gotten. I’m building a business and I want to learn how to build things. The tools to create the world around me. And this is not giving me that
