This is BY FAR the best "day in the life" videos on KZbin. I've been on the fence about my career choice for a long time, and this is the only video I have found that goes over an example of what they are working on. Normally "day in the life" videos only show them waking up, eating, taking breaks, when they do meetings, and then just a time-lapse of their actual work. Thank you for this!

@@samualsisk5603 You’re partly correct. You don’t have to be good at maths tho when you’re starting the degree as long as you’re willing to learn. IMO Maths is a skill and with enough practice, which you will naturally get anyway in an engineering program, you can succeed.

[@andreasrasmussen6362]

@@Last_Respecter not everyone understands math and thats okay. if someone is struggling in math before advancing to college level math, that person is gonna struggle a lot more than their peers. just be prepared to work twice as hard as everyone else. it will in turn make it all the sweeter if you complete an engineering degree. good luck to mark

Man seeing those familiar equations made me gag a bit 😂.

[@spaceman081447]

In 1967, I co-opped as a draftsman at DuPont's Engineering Development Laboratory, where we designed and built custom machinery for upcoming DuPont manufacturing processes. This was, obviously in the pre-CAD days. In fact, it was in the pre-calculator days - we used slide rules. Anyway, I was given the preliminary specs for a particular kind of pneumatic control valve (I think it was called a flip-flop - hey, it was 55 years ago!). So I designed it and it was built and tested. Not only did it work - it worked better than expected! That was my very first moment of creative achievement!

[@jackeitel4954]

I loved seeing actual engineering going on rather than the typical flashy day in a life vid. Really helped solidify my interest in engineering, although still deciding between mechanical, electrical, and civil

[@mikew1990hello]

quite a spread is that, I'd go with the one that most closely aligns with your interests, what you specifically find interesting and enjoyable to do/think about. Mechanical can take you into most areas of engineering, studying thermodynamics (heat transfer and fluid flow like in this video), aerodynamics, vibration and rotating bodies/machinery where I think the equations get the most complex looking (but they're not so difficult once you practice with them a bit), or static forces and bending moments etc essentially in the area of civil engineering and even electromechanical systems essentially briefly going over some electrical engineering. Did some materials science and even some of the manufacturing and production side during my mechanical engineering degree (joining processes like all forms of welding, forging etc and even machining processes for improving qualities or properties of materials etc). I never much liked the electrical side as it's classical mechanics that I find most interesting and fun to think about/solve problems on etc, and civil engineering far as I'm aware anyway is just a LOT of static force/bending force/bending moments etc on the calculations side, but of all different materials and some geoengineering I imagine going into the properties of the typical materials building materials/foundations (cement, soil etc)

[@gregd335shot9]

I’m about to be a first year Aerospace and physics minor with dual mechanical engineer here in the fall, and this fascinates me! We also have the same last name lmao. Keep up the good work

[@floridalawns509]

Great video for beginners! Ive been a mechanical engineer for 11 years now and i can tell you these equations are nice on paper and the math most definitely works. But the best knowledge you can gain is hands on experience. Work with the lathes and mills that produce the components and engineering will come second nature. I can literally design something on cad and make the part myself. Its super gratifying, hope this opens some minds to get out there and put paper to steel!

[@maratines]

Have you ever met anyone who has all of their certifications and education but is completely lost in the field or simply applying logic when working with their hands? If so, how do they fair? Do they assimilate eventually or do they have a difficult time? I feel some people are great in the classroom but are completely lost when it’s time to build a simple birdhouse.

@@Ontheroad13 Our school is a bit different. The first year is common for all types of engineering students. However, based on our gpa in the first year, we get to pick and rank many disciplines offered. Students with the highest gpa will get their top pick whereas, students with a low gpa will not get their top pick in engineering discipline but will be given their second or third choice. (I know it sounds scary). Therefore, I don't have a specific engineering discipline going into engineering school but I want to get into mechanical or civil engineering discipline.

[@brosephmcswag781]

The function of the heat exchanger in jet engines isn't to lower the temperature of the air coming through the inlet, it's mostly to cool the different components around the combustion chamber, or even to heat the fuel. The inlet air gets hotter and compressed before it gets mixed with the fuel, all to increase the efficiency of the combustion process. But that's just me splitting hairs and I might be wrong too, there could be a purpose to cooling the air that I'm not aware of. The video is still very interesting and enlightening.

You popped up and I listened to your video. Your intellect is so casually spoken thru your voice.

[@Natt332]

I think what you might not be explaining is that shockwaves exists right outside or within the inlet of the engine, which is causing the rise in static temperature. If the air entering the engine is below Mach 1, there will be a near negligible rise in the temperature from the atmospheric temp at the height that the engine is at, which is pretty low to begin with. Unless of course you meant to say that the heat exchanger is placed after the compressor instead of before it

[@somber_soul]

With those calculations at the end, you are assuming an incompressible fluid when you factored out density. With a compressible fluid like air, you would need to check that assumption on your pressure drop to ensure you arent dropping "excessive" amounts of pressure. Otherwise you would need to move to stagnation pressure lookups, etc.

[@somber_soul]

@@WissamSeif Thought it might be helpful. Most rules of thumb I've seen thrown around say within 30% pressure drop keeps results mostly accurate for an incompressible flow assumption. But you'll start to break those rules on venturis or orifices sometimes as you'll approach mach 1 in the throat.

Hi there, I subbed and liked. Can you share the "not enjoyable" part? As an engineering student myself, I heard countless complain from senior and online forum that the job does not even use 90% of knowledge in uni. The tasks we will be doing starting out will never be developing or designing new solution because that take years to learn about the design practise or mechanism that I never heard of.

Please reply, I am eager for real life engineer experience. Keep up the good work.

[@johnmaris1582]

@@WissamSeif Thank you for the reply. It is a relief and stressful at the same time I guess haha. Good news is that I don't have to push myself to develop unique solution like building a software from scratch or writing new equation for mechanism etc. All that are traded with long mundane tasks that senior engineer left to us to learn about the industry in the mean time. That's the assessment I take from all the stories I heard. What do you think? I mean after uni most of the knowledge are theoretical and lack of applying science experience. Well it is not like what we learn is useless, talking to supplier and writing document need specialised knowledge too but we can just Google to know about everything. The senior can't give us creative work if we can't even read the research paper, textbook or in-house documents (where all the implementation and solutions are) to troubleshoot and maintain the project. I am also curious whether your company have that many work for engineer? From what I know company develop and sold product. That product sell for years so why are engineer needed in this case? All they need is someone to troubleshoot and monitor the product right? Are there that many variation for that product to design? In your case the company took 10 years to develop a rocket to launch in one stage I guess that is a completely new technique so does that mean you can't find reference for your work to help you? Usually do working junior engineer buy their own advanced textbook, industry magazine or research paper ie. ASME and IEEE recommended by senior or found online to help their work? I know I am going all over the place but please help.
