Hello, I have a simple puzzle that only involves one principle of physics that I am willing to bet you cannot solve. The puzzle asks just one yes or no question. I would like to make some sort of wager if you want to try puzzle.

[@mikewilson9349]

The main thing to know about mechanical engineering is that the right side of the equation does not equal zero. Maybe that's why I'm a Structural Engineer.

[@Bubs.]

The version of the equation where the right side equals zero can give some useful info tho

[@richardgarcia6160]

Came across this video since I am starting my journey to getting my degree in mechanical engineering and wow the cheat sheets are a HUGE help !!! I am thankful for this video and the knowledge you are sharing and for going out of your way to make a channels specifically for this field of work. Thanks again man ! Wish you the best !

[@abbasdharamsi]

Thanks for sharing this man. It's reassuring to know what to expect in terms of the challenges and the importance of networking. Your advice about choosing professors wisely and focusing on health is invaluable because it gives us a real sense of what to expect in mechanical engineering. As a fellow mechanical engineer myself, I completely relate and agree to what you've talked about. Looking forward to more of your content! 👍

[@believertv6020]

Now we know that bro got a 3.19 CGPA and still got a job at Apple. Now I'm a little less worried about my CGPA.

[@hugoshubert]

Thank you for all of the information! Very glad i found this channel, and beyond excited to be studying mechanical engineering soon!

[@blu8119]

I love this video and thank god I found it in time I’m in my senior year of hs and want to study mechanical engineering these tips and advice is something I will definitely keep with me when I start my college journey

[@user-ms8qu3mq5b]

Same

[@artanchor124]

As a first year mechanical engineering student ,my opinion on engineering majors is if you did your high school studies properly and if your truly interested in engineering then and then only you should go for engineering if you do it with interest then engineering major will be very rewarding and life will be very good and secure for you , but if you are doing engineering just for sake of doing and you are academically weak in high school then do not go for engineering as a major your life will become very difficult, but if you are really determine to do engineering and you do not have any option then you will have to put a lot of work in

[@TurfSurf]

I found professors make a huge difference in terms of how much I enjoy the class and how much I learned from the class. If you don’t like the professor, drop the class right away.

[@jeanpierreremond2565]

Very well explained direct to the point on your advices. I hope this video help a lot of freshman engineering students and high school students looking forward to attend the university 👍

[@enzo_softwareboi18]

Awesome video!

[@andreasdendrinos9404]

Ι am VERY happy that I studied engineering. I studied Mechanical, and later civil engineering. Do not give up! follow your dreams!

[@shaunjay6040]

I’m maintaining a 3.9 rolling into my junior year as an EE major. I really hope that I keep making the right decisions when it comes to choosing my instructors.

[@World.of.Musikk]

Thx for sharing my friend

[@mathiasmotoma4207]

Thanks for the advice

[@sacredpomegranatejuice3395]

Appreciate this video. I’m considering switching to mechanical engineering although I’m in my fourth year. I want to work somewhere in the health/medical sector.

[@rafaelmgoncalves]

Um 15 years old and thinking on do engenieering cuz it seems like a useful major, only problem, im not a genius

[@karmiccj1911]

Don't worry dude. Time will show you that a hardworking engineer is way better than a genious one

[@davidcook9875]

I’m 22 got a 50% in math almost failed my science courses in highschool and I just got accepted into engineering for university. As long as you’re willing to put in the work you can do it

[@BrianGutierrez-ek5nb]

great video! could you make a video on how you studied while you were in school!?

[@rex_8618]

It's always a delight to watch your videos. Please do a home tour next!!

[@joseadolfovazquezluna9087]

Great video! I'm currently studying mechatronics engineering but will change to mechanical next semester. Do you have any advice?

[@tigerlily48]

this is why these people are really good of what they do and stealing from other people and very simple ways and which things around and give people a social Security to work hard and never get nowhere..

[@ThapeloPrince-bl5bg]

I love engineering jobs I like to fix like engineering workers but am in grade 9

[@BossCatGaming]

Really enjoy your videos bro. I wanna do my masters in mechanical engineering(ME) but I have a bachelors in biomedical engineering. My curriculum was heavily focused on mechanics so i wanna know if it will be easy for universities to accept me for the ME masters. Also in terms of job security and outlook, do you think mechanical engineers will still remain relevant in 10 years to come. Thank you in advance🙏🏾

[@nycto16]

If you are in engineering, don't think about money... you will never become rich because business is where the money is.

[@arseneijambo2871]

Is the "Mechanics of Material" cheat sheet available?

[@uniform375]

Ill say this, every time I saw the nurses, they were always partying and I definitely was jealous lol

[@kotadiyachaitanya7957]

Do you looking video editor for your YT

[@khendricklamar-hc7we]

How can I offer mechanical engineering by doing visual art in senior high school

[@AD103.]

Thank you for the video! Do you have an exact explanation on what you mean by having an "Engineering Mindset"? I would love to know more as I am studying engineering.

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

Engineering mindset just means having a systematic approach to identifying, solving, and/or preventing a complex problem from occuring using a variety of methods or tools i.e. FMEA, 5 Whys, the Scientific Method, etc. This applies more to industry, but even solving an engineering problem in school requires you to identify the givens and solve for the unknowns by applying knowledge learned in class.

[@mafer3127]

I study in Spain and they don't curve our grades here :'(

[@saru1466]

Upload a video for mechanics of material and machine design. Just the basics

[@delgande]

Do you recommend engineering for me? I am 30 years old starting community college soon and do not know if engineering is a good major I have work experience in a variety of fields but only entry level and nothing substantial. I want to make 100k by the time I'm 40 and make at least 70k within a year of graduation I heard some engineers say that bachelors can take 5 or more years Ideally i want to graduate in 4 years because I want to start a family with a girl I'm getting serious with and need to make more money than i am now(40k) I do not want to wait so long to get a good paying degree and in high school i was good in math and physics but never went to college I have independently studied maths up to differential equations so i think I'll be able to hang in the early years but am afraid that my choice of schools(small state schools) will not make employment at a good job easy My other option is accounting but that takes at least 6 years to get CPA and make good money Thank you

[@peterharris6223]

I want to build my own company.

[@user-li5pu8fw1q]

I am very bad at math, physics and chemistry but I have a passion to study mechanical engineering major,what should I do, should I still go for it or I should consider changing major

[@ila9063]

you need to become good at maths first. specifically high school maths otherwise you’ll fail maths. ask me how I know lol good thing is, if you wanna study engineering then nothing is stopping you from getting good at maths before you apply!

[@naeemislam1387]

Practice maths man... start with easy maths and then upgrade your levels. I became good at math just by following this one trick.

[@Daniel-yh5we]

Im tryna network with you not in a weird way

[@ayefounegautiersomane2592]

Good day mister! Do you have a linkedin account? I want to connect with you.

[@B_irch]

Steve Jobs also died because he opted for a “more natural” form of cancer treatment and died because of it, so I would not take health advice from him

[@joeyvill]

I don't know anything about mechanical engineering. And I have a degree in it. What a wasted youth.

[@valentinlishkov9540]

look at me

[@overlord7096]

Mechanical is worst. No good jobs and does not pays good as well. Better to be software engineer instead. I regret becoming mechanical engineering grad. 😢

[@TaseJaw]

All fun and games untill you realise software engineers are gonna be obsolete due to the exponential rise of Ai alternatives, but ME engineering job factors are expected to grow up by 10% in 2032

[@rajvaidya1691]

Don't take it now. Go for software engineering
