So what gpa do I need to get a job or internship.

All engineer majors require a lot of work. They just have different kinds of work. With mechanical engineering you will be learning the mechanics and intricacies of physical systems, everything from materials, to heat transfer, to circuits, to fluid mechanics, along with multiple levels of calculus, physics, and differential equations and linear algebra. With computer engineering, you will learn the same levels of math and physics, but your focus will be more on the electrical side, along the lines of electrical engineering combined with computer science. From what I’ve seen electrical engineering concepts require a lot of theoretical math to compute electromagnetic waves and signals. Theres also a healthy amount of coding. I don’t say this to stress you but both paths require lots of work. Personally, I originally was going to go with computer engineering, but after doing some research I’ve fallen in love with mechanical systems. I am pursuing mechanical engineering. I will say you don’t have to be super smart in math, but you will need to apply yourself and try your best to understand it and get better as you go. There will be a lot of math in your course curriculum, and you don’t want to run away from it. Embrace it, engineers need math just like a woodsman needs his axe. The better you are at using your tools the better you are at your profession, and math and physics are very important tools for the engineer to utilize. Good luck!

Hey Kosta! Definitely not too old! There were plenty of other engineering students I met in college that were 30, 40 and even 50+ years old! Some were veterans using their GI bill to go back to school and some others were parents that wanted to switch careers. One thing I noticed with the older students was that they were more focused in class because they knew exactly what they wanted for their career and it motivated them to study hard and do well. I totally believe you can do it!! 👍🏽

Good question Huncho! I definitely feel you too because I struggled with algebra and geometry throughout high-school. My parents had me go to a ton of tutors after school so I could at least keep up with class! I'm gonna be honest, the Mechanical Engineering courseload is very difficult and can be overwhelming. 50% of students drop out within the first year. That being said, it's totally possible for you to be successful as long as you put in the work! I struggled throughout the first couple years of college but when I started really applying myself, paying more attention in class and taking my career seriously, that's when things started to turn around for me. I hope that helps. I definitely believe you can do it if you really want to! Mechanical engineering is a great career that pays well and the practical skills/knowledge you learn will translate into so many other areas of your life!

What is lacking with Mechanical Engineers today, is the knowledge of how to design mechanisms correctly. Did know that there's a mathematical formula that can be used for all mechanism designs? It's called Gruebler's Count. I found a way to make it practical for all 3D mechanisms. Here's the link if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXelaZqDn913hs0

Hey Kennedy, thanks for leaving a comment! My IG is @engineer_meets_world. Feel free to reach out anytime! If you're on LinkedIn you can just search my name (Johny Quan) and message me that way as well!

Hey Lazar, that's a really good question! Thanks for asking! They're very similar actually in terms of coursework. Some schools like University of California, Irvine actually combine these two programs into one department because of how much they overlap. That's because aerospace engineers pretty much learn the same exact Engineering disciplines as mechanical engineers (fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, machine design, etc.) except it's specifically within the context of aerospace applications. I actually took Thermodynamics at UCI during a summer course and throughout that class, many of the problems and examples we solved during class were based off of on aerospace applications. Mechanical engineers also study and learn a lot about aerospace applications as well but they also spend a lot of time solving problems within the context of other industries, sectors and engineering disciplines as well. For example, as a mechanical engineer I also took courses about Microelectronic Fabrication for consumer electronic devices and Internal Combustion Engines for traditional cars and hybrid electric vehicles. Long story short: Mechanical engineering is more broad. Aerospace engineering is very similar except the coursework may be more focused on applications specific to the aerospace industry. Hope that helps!

It definitely was for me!!! But I also know people who thought it was easy because things just clicked for them super fast! If you're good at math and physics, mechanical engineering should be pretty straightforward for you. If you're like me, it will be really hard initially but if you stick with it, you WILL get it! 👍🏽 I struggled throughout my first 4 years but started getting straight A's and B's after that! Hope that answers your question more clearly. Thanks for leaving a comment! 😁

@@superjohnyquanySame here, i don't know math and physics but i love this field, i am really scared of trying

Hi Jessica, thanks for leaving such a great question! Mechanical Engineering is definitely a great choice if you're interested in product design and development which it seems like you are, specifically in the consumer electronics industry! That being said, you could also be an electrical engineer, a materials engineer or a chemical engineer and still work on these types of products because they very much often require lots of different type of engineers working to develop and improve these products! Mechanical engineering is great because you will study many different engineering disciplines that will make you very versatile. You will take courses related to materials science, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, electrical engineering, etc. Some other engineering majors may not study as many different topics that cross over into other engineering disciplines. I hope that makes sense and is helpful! 😁👍🏽

@@superjohnyquany Geeez, that makes me breathe again, I have been confused for weeks with all of the different engineering majors and not knowing which one would be better for my interests. My university has the "Mechanic and electric engineer career" so if everything goes right I'll be studying that next spring. Thankss, you helped me a lot ((:

No you're the best for leaving such an amazing comment!! 😁 You can do it!! I believe in you!

@@superjohnyquany thank you buddy! You’re amazing! Thank you for the motivation and those nice messages. Wish you the best in life, I believe in you too. 🙌🏻

Thanks Alvin!!! Miss you. Keep posting those vlogs!!! Hope you're enjoying college!

Hi Shahzaib, thank you for leaving a great question! To answer your question, I do not think you will have any issues regarding the math and physics. Personally, I have worked along side international students from China, Mexico, India and Brazil in my undergraduate and graduate studies and to be honest, most of the time their understanding of math/physics skills far surpassed my own! 😂 The fundamentals of math and physics taught in school should be pretty much the same no matter where you live. Hopefully that helps. I believe you can do it! 😁

Hi Shahzaib, please see my response in your other comment. I hope it helps and please let me know if you have any other questions!

FOR LIFE BABY!!! 💛💜

Zion's gotta meet his UNCO JOSHHHHHH soon!!! 😍

😘😘😘

Hahaha yeah I love it when he wears that hat!!! 😂

Hi Felicia! Excellent question! If you haven't taken Calculus or physics in high school already, those would be great courses to start! If you already took those, then you can definitely start taking an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course online! There are tons of free online lectures that you can find on KZbin for Mechanical Engineering courses! MIT Open Courseware, UCI Open Courseware and Khan Academy are examples of KZbin channels where I watched a ton of lectures/lessons before actually taking those courses :). Hope that helps!

@@superjohnyquany Hey, so I'm a senior and I didn't take calculus I took geometry and algerbra. Will this be enough to do good in the field

@@robtheservantof6257 hey Huncho! You will take at least 5 or 6 Calculus courses in college so no worries if you didn't take them in high school! Sure, it would be helpful but definitely not necessary. One of my good friends didn't take Calculus in high school and now he is working as a successful engineer for Lockheed Martin, one of the biggest names in the defense industry. Totally possible for you to succeed if you work hard and focus! 😁👍🏽

@@superjohnyquany aye that great‼️thanks man I appreciate the help you Give to all of us

@@robtheservantof6257 Take a look at some videos on Precalculus (college algebra) on youtube, specifically professor Leonard's channel. Really helpful since i'm getting my ass kicked in that class haha

That is SO awesome!!! Architecture and mechanical engineering is an AMAZING combination. You will definitely make a huge impact and bless a lot of people wherever you go with that kind of attitude! God bless! 🙏🏽😁

YES!!! That's what I love to hear Zoe! Honestly, the skills I learned from studying ME have really carried over into so many other areas of my life! Keep pushing! You got this!

Why so many people change major ?

I'm from California!

Thank you for supporting!!! 😁

Hey there Alaina! Glad you liked the video! 😂 And of course!! Feel free to comment any questions you have or DM on Instagram! You can definitely connect with me on Linkedin too as well! Thanks for leaving a comment!! 😁

@@superjohnyquany linkedin??? 😏

Hi Carlo! Are you asking if Calculus is used after you graduate and start working? The level of math used on the job will depend on what type of engineering position you are in. But yes, Calculus is definitely used. Some examples of simple applications might be calculating the distribution of force on a bridge or calculating the flow rate of fluid or air flow within a piping system. Hope that helps! :) thanks for leaving a comment!

I feel you.... I failed Calc 2. You can do it! Don't be afraid to ask for extra help outside of class. Also KZbin was my best friend for learning Calc throughout college. PatrickJMT is an awesome channel who I've been using since high school to pass math class 😅!

@@superjohnyquany I finally finished Math classes by the way I connect on LinkedIn Manuel Quirarte

Awesome!! You're gonna be an Engineer in no time! Yeah let's connect!

Hi Abigail! So awesome hearing from you, thanks for leaving a great question! To be honest, I got a C in AP Calculus in high school so I wasn't very good at it either! But yes, in general, you will need to be somewhat proficient in math and physics to succeed in the engineering workplace. Which is why there's a big emphasis in college engineering curriculums on the higher levels of math. Single variable calculus, differential equations and multivariable calculus are some courses you have to look forward to. And honestly, I struggled through them all 😅. But there's hope!!! After spending years and years in college practicing and practicing, you WILL be solid in the math skills needed to succeed in the workplace! In graduate school, I actually ended up teaching a Fluid Mechanics course which I failed during my 3rd year of undergrad (crazy right?!). To answer your other questions on basic technology and general construction principles. It's definitely useful to understand the basics and those are all things you will learn and be exposed to throughout college so no worries if you aren't familiar with them now. Hopefully that helps! Let me know if you're curious about anything else. 😁

HI Alicia!!! 😁 Thank you so much for your words ❤️ We're so thankful to have your family in our corner! I'm gonna send you and S some pictures cuz Zion is growing so fast and we can't wait to see you guys again soon!!

Thanks for leaving such an awesome question! My answer to you is yes, there are lots of Mech. Engineeting career opportunities out there that would appeal to the interests that you've shared. One of the best parts about Mech. Engineering is that you get exposed to a variety of Engineering disciplines throughout your coursework such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Machine Design, etc. Also, I'd highly recommend getting involved with some type of engineering extracurricular club if you want to go into those fields of interests you described. There are clubs and societies such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (Formula SAE ) that design projects such as race cars and UAVs for competitions! Those types of activities would give you great experience and open up doors for future opportunities in those fields!

superjohnyquany awesome I think that’s probably what I’m going to go with, and I think I’ll definitely probably get involved with formula SAE, the people in it were telling me they did pretty well last year placing pretty high at all of the competitions they go to. I still like coding and I’m still going to work to improve my coding skills, I just don’t really want to do that all day everyday for the rest of my life lol. I’m a person that likes change often

Awesome!!! Yeah, I'm totally the same way. I like doing different stuff and learning new things all the time. Best of luck to you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

superjohnyquany alright will do
