Mechanical Engineer here, finished with school and my day is very different. I work at a product design Engineer in R&D department, every week my job changes, one week I might be working in solidworks designing a small part for a complex system, and the next week I could be using ANSYS and working with fluid dynamics simulations. I also have access to some very high tech 3D printers, metal printers, carbon fiber printers, CNC's and more to help me produce the products I design for a customers or in house application.

Hello from Philippines! We watched your vlog and it is totally awesome. It is very different from our education system. We are fresh graduates of mechanical engineering however it is still a mystery what is behind those theoretical education. It is so boring that in 5 years we had learn only computing math and sciences and other mechanical subject but facing the real machines and equipment is beyond our reach. Thanks for letting us know what would it be if ever we are in your school!

[@RiverTechJess]

Hey Raeii Lobete! Ya I also did a 5 year bachelors and it was the same. Super theoretical and no outside world experience. The only way I got real experience was with internships and thesis and projects. I would suggest you try that if you can!

[@RiverTechJess]

hey thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it:) what school do you go to?

[@mariomasters1]

I go to the University of Iowa right now. I have a question for you. I'm interested in the notion of research and even a little more specific in fluid flows and the associated heat transfer that can occur. The overarching reason why I'm interested in this area is because of renewable energy technologies like wind turbines. However, this semester I'll be taking 6 courses (18 semester hours) and I don't think I would have time for it. Have you been in situations like this before? My gut instinct right now is to hold off during the spring semester and try next fall when I'll have a smaller course load. What do you think? Also, thanks for responding to my comment. Subscribed! :)

[@RiverTechJess]

Thats a great/fun area of research! And renewables is a great industry because it's what every city/company is investing in. I think if you have a heavy course load, then don't start research. Because you want to do your best work (maybe even publish in a journal), you want to make good connections with the professors and the PhD students (for letters of recommendation). basically, you want to give 100%. You wont be able to do that with a heavy course load. BUT don't wait until you have an easy course load, because chances are that you wont have one. So I would suggest to find some sort of compromise, maybe take 2 electives in one semester so that you can focus on research. Also consider summer research:) Good luck and let me know how it goes!

In my 1st year of work as a mechanical engineer. Work is rough but fun when I get to do design work. In the sugar industry though so just gathering the experience and plan to start-up something myself that I find more meaningful. The best thing about engineering is the options you have. You can quite literally do anything you want provided you're willing to work for it. To any students out there battling, or people thinking about doing mechanical engineering, keep this in mind through your slog. It is all worth it. And do your pracs! Especially those pesky elec ones. You won't regret it when you're sitting with a multidisciplinary project and don't have to revise the shit out of it :P Have a good day

They do that so they can develop tools to prevent industrial project that can put essential food source like Caribou herd at risk. I think that's pretty cool too!

[@luthulisanele1944]

I think if you can shift that negative attitude toward physics you might do better

[@RiverTechJess]

Paul Auchon that’s a pretty rad project! Interesting and definitely needed. Ya I think there’s room in science for everyone:)

I’m still a high school student, but I want to become a surgeon in the future

[@15Khubaib15]

Also a mechanical engineer, I'm a senior at Texas Tech University in the US. Any advice on where to go after graduation? I'm looking for jobs but the market is really competitive right now.. not sure if I should keep searching aggressively or jump into MS here at Tech or somewhere else. Advise please! Great Vlog btw...!

[@RiverTechJess]

Hey Khubaib Lakhani! Thanks for watching and great question. As a young engineer you really have a lot of options. What are your reasons for wanting to do a MSc? Is it just because you're not sure about the market? Because you should only be getting an MSc for the following reasons: 1- You want to work in Europe. In Europe you need an MSc to work as an engineer. There's really nothing else to say. Unless you don't actually want to work as an engineer and just find another job. 2- You want to work in a specialized field. For example, I work in combustion. If I was to work at Siemens or Pratt & Whitney or GE, I need at LEAST an MSc (or even a PhD) but this is a specific research field within engines. But if you are fine with being flexible an working on many different types of projects as an engineer along different parts of the pipeline then I wouldn't suggest an MSc. So the question is really, what do you want to do? Now my question to you. Would you benefit if I started making a little video series called the "1 minute ask an engineer show" where I would answer questions like these in 1min? Let me know and thanks for watching!

[@15Khubaib15]

Honestly I don't have enough industry experience to really know if I'm interested in a specialized field. I feel like work experience is the only way I would personally be able to get an idea about it and unfortunately I only have one internship in Oil & Gas (It's huge in TX) and I realized I'm not interested in pursuing that so it helped. I am interested in a lot of things and I feel like I could develop a passion for wherever I start unless it's a dead- end repetitive field. And yes I would watch that lol.. I think for me the only thing that stops me from clicking on an interesting video (in this case for ex. a mech engr related vid) would be the duration. So 1-min vids would capture a huge audience. I know some male engineer youtubers who have very boring 6-8 min videos and they have hundreds of thousands of views so definitely think you could be successful with that!

[@RiverTechJess]

Ok so I think if you don't really know what you like then I would say you can do two things. 1- This last year of college, maybe explore the possibilities to do an MSc. And I don't mean in terms of schools. I mean in labs/projects and go speak to professors. You can email professors asking about their lab and saying your interested in doing an MSc and most of them will be happy to show you around and show you the research going on. Then you can pick an interesting project that you might develop a passion for. 2- You can go for internships/jobs in different fields and figure out what you like and then decide to go back and do an MSc. I think the REALLY TRULY important thing here is to remember that you literally have your entire life to do an MSc. And you also literally have your entire life to work. You can always switch career paths. I'm from Canada but living in Europe and people live life so much slower here than in North America. Everyone is in less of a rush. Don't buy into the fact that you need to figure everything out right away, because you don't. (Also please subscribe if you haven't yet :P )

[@15Khubaib15]

That last bit was what I needed to hear. Society and norms make us feel so pressured to plan out and calculate every move we make and not think about what we actually want to do. I think I need to take a step back and take a deep breath. I will look into both options you suggested me. You are very right in the sense that it's pointless to jump into a MSc by default without considering why I am doing it. I think I'm leaning towards giving the job market a solid effort and see where my fate takes me.. most recruiting goes on through November, and I have a sense of what interests me. But thanks a lot for the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out! And officially subscribed.. :)

[@RiverTechJess]

Thanks so much! And I really hope I was of help. Please keep me in the loop. And I hope you don't mind but I published your question and my response in a Medium article and on Tumblr (medium.com/@STEMinine/what-should-i-do-after-graduation-a919d7db905b) because I'm sure more student's have the same questions. I only used your first name but if you would like me to change that then let me know:)

[@virtueigbokwuwe]

Love this Video, there definitely needs to be more videos about engineering and females in general. I also study engineering in the UK and I document my experience in my channel, love if we could support each other xx

[@federicadilegge2550]

So inspiring video! I'm also a MSc mechanical engineer student, but my day is soooo different, most of the time spent on books, still have to finish exams but this video is what I'm studying for, so trying to do my best to achieve satisfaction 😄 thank you for sharing ☺️

[@miguelangelalvarezcaballer1612]

What a beautiful video and so interesting, I'm also studying Mechanical Engineering but in the Power Electric side. You should still making more vlogs like this. Greetings from Mexico!!

[@morningstar6808]

1:33 looks like stranger things season 3 machine

[@RahulSingh-fi6pp]

Which software do you use for simulation. Please tell me...

[@musaveer2000]

I got this suggestion right when i'm near to fly to Canada for my masters in design as a mechanical technology. BTW where are you from?

[@norbertdrage]

Your channel is excellent (although you don't need me to tell you this!)! I love that you show your experimental analysis and explain how it fits into the scheme of things. My thesis research project (at Curtin in Western Australia) will begin in six months and it is my hope that I have the same enthusiasm and vigor as you during your experiments and research! Thank you for the good example and positive attitude. Someone I admire said 'never let anyone take away your smile', and this is clearly seen in your clip and your research efforts! Thank you again, and I hope that your research yielded positive fruits!!

[@RiverTechJess]

Thanks so much Norbert! I’m really happy to hear you liked the video. I also wish you all the best in your thesis. I hope it will make you super excited about it. Good luck!!

[@mrmojojp1]

That project is so cool. So glad you explained it.

[@RiverTechJess]

Thanks for listening!

[@raffymendoza9705]

She: this is blaahh.. blahhh... blahh Me: wait whatt? im lost.. 😭😭😭

[@o_noori1943]

Imagine getting lost at blah blah blah

[@luizotaviocfg]

I am a mechanical engineer and now I'm a master's student in... computer engineering. My research line is aerospacial systems. But my routine looks nothing like yours, I just go to the lab and stay all day in front of my laptop reading papers and books and trying to implement my work on Matlab, so I can hopefully simulate it later. Rocket science at its finest, right?

[@RiverTechJess]

hahaah you know it. ya that was my schedule in my bachelors too, but i can't stay in the lab all day because i absolutely can't survive without food and sleep

[@superkrystal98]

Great video. I’m an Electrical Engineering major but its cool to see how grad students do research. Are your days normally this short?

[@RiverTechJess]

hhahaah well I didn't want to show hours of footage of me just doing work in front of the computer;) but usually I work from 9am-6 or 7pm. (i'm lucky that I only have a master's thesis and no classes or else I would be working till 2am. Thank goodness those days are over)

[@jeancarlosrosario6990]

Bro, I will be studying Electrical Engineer in 16 weeks after I graduate from High School. How you holding up? Do you have time to do things you like or you be studying all day? Is it hard?

[@superkrystal98]

I'm only a sophomore so I'm still in the "weed out" stage of the program. Junior year is the hardest. Taking upper level physics and calculus right now along with some EE and programming courses. It is a lot of work and its not easy but its manageable if you plan out your time well and use the available resources to help you when you struggle. I certainly do not study all day lol. I'd be burnt out if I did, and you shouldn't do that either. It's good to take some time off relaxing and going to parties and stuff. But you have to immediately get back to the grind the next day

[@superkrystal98]

Freshman year 1 semester I partied almost every weekend because to me the work was not difficult at all(calc 1, chem 1, some gen eds). If you can, try and go out and have as much fun as possible during your first semester if you also find your course load to be manageable and relatively easy. Get all the partying and fun out your system because after freshman year you'll have very little time to do so if you want to progress and do well. Keep your GPA up, get involved, and have some fun. Best of luck to you. If you got any questions don't hesitate to ask

[@aadilawais4750]

Hi, I'm final year mechanical engineer. but i have friends in electric in my hostel. so almost all engineering fields are way too much easy. we do party, and everything. I myself usually study at last month of semester, although i won't advice you for such thing but i still have 3.4 cgpa. while in my department, teachers don't give good grades so often as compared to other campuses, but still it is easy unless you are weak in mathematics

[@duke9300]

Mam,You are very lucky and gifted to study the beauty of Mechanical engineering by practical methods I learnt lot in 9minutes of ur video than 4years of my Mechanical Engineering college.

[@PandaMane]

Currently in the second year of my undergrad in mechanical engineering. I'm just glad that reading break is next week.

[@youssefsafwat4883]

is it hard to maintain high grades and at the same time hang out with friends have fun and all ?

[@dude8685]

That’s what I’ve been wondering

[@PandaMane]

@@youssefsafwat4883 honestly, the workload is pretty intense, but there are times during the year where you can still go out and have fun while maintaining your grades, as long as you can manage your time. My advice is go out a couple times at the start of the semester when everything is just starting up because you won't have a lot of time to go out during midterms or close to finals.

[@pavankumar132]

By seeing you drinking Red Bull i thought it would be a thug life 😂

[@hussainmohammed1317]

Is it better to study mechanics engineering in Germany or USA ????

[@RiverTechJess]

It doesn't matter. It depends on where you want to live and where you want to end up afterwards:)

[@RiverTechJess]

Thanks for your input Mario. Can I ask why you think so?

[@danceartist8203]

Depends, In general I'd say Germany for engineering. However, accoeding to the world rank list some uni whose name I forgot in the us is #1 and the TU Delft in the Netherlands is a very close #2 when it comes to mechanical engineering. Keep in mind though, unless you speak German you'll find it hard to make German friends. (Even though all of them speak fluent English and arent dicks.)

[@parthakaizer]

Besides the point mentioned here by the people studying in USA is a bit expensive than Germany. And Germany provides free education for even international people. Its only the living expenses tha you have to bear. And standard of living is high too. But not like living in the US. The tuition fees may vary according to the universities you are applying consequently the courses you are planning to take up or pursue! Also Germany is a good place for mechanical engineers , the country being the hub for many automobile manufacturing units. Hope this helps you to make more informed choices!

[@danceartist8203]

Update us, I want to know if you've decided yet

[@itsallgood5314]

I’m an Econ and Finance student. What am I doing here

[@justinpeska4932]

Great video! Keep representing us engineers well!

[@Jadeeyah]

I'm going to take mechanical engineering this year. I'm scared but at the same time excited
