How I Would Learn Engineering (If I Could Start Over)

[@Soma2501]

Got my internships revoked during college due to covid and now that I've graduated, most internships don't accept new grads nor do most entry level jobs without relevant experience. Definetely keep applying during undergrad so you don't get stuck in limbo like me. Edit: I did end up getting hired after about a year. I applied to many places within a 12 hour car ride away from where i was currently staying. Also kept working on personal projects, doing certs, practicing interviewing, etc. Unemployment being low definetely helped since less ppl looking for jobs and the cascade of higher level employees applying for lower level jobs seems to have slowed down or stopped. However, the ratio of positions being canceled was still relatively high (1/4jobs)

[@mohamedahmed3257]

Keep at it bro, you'll get there!

[@SeeMyWays]

If you have a dream company just keep applying. It might take 6 months and 10-20 applications

[@TamerShaheen]

Just keep applying and working on your resume, portfolio and interview skills. I was in a similar position in the past.

[@Soma2501]

Appreciate the videos as always Tamer. Not a lot of people make Mechanical Engineering videos, most are focused on software/tech. You're definitely filling the gap, and glad to see your viewership growing! I'm a Mechanical Engineer myself and currently job hunting. Your videos are super helpful and informative

Got into working on old cars that then got me even more interested in mechanical engineering, hope I'll make it through the bachelor, Im a nerd for the things mentioned in this video, especially material science, construction technices and CAD, but math is my cryptonite that takes a lot out of me. Motivating video to make me keep working hard, so thanks for sharing

This was so much helpful Tamer. I'm starting my Mechanical engineering this November & you've guided me a hell lot in choosing my major. I just want to thank you again, you've made engineering look better with your videos. Cheers man!

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer student, I have always searched for such as this content on KZbin and I found you. It was an amazing explanation for the major. Your highlights on the subject were great. I hope you keep going because it's interesting to watch your content as a Mechanical Engineer student.

[@martinliza4811]

This is a good video; however I will be careful with the courses you suggested. I’m also a mechanical Eng., by trade and I have over 7 years of experience and I have never ever touched any of those subjects on my work. I’m a modeling and simulations Eng. so for me the most important subjects are computer science, calculus, linear algebra, PDE’s, numerical methods, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, controls. Courses you didn’t mentioned. The beauty of mechanical Eng. Is that you can work in any field; hence I don’t think that making a video only focusing on design provides a good example. I wouldn’t be surprised if most mechE work on fields other than design. Cheers

Lol I saw half of those coding videos and watched maybe half of them. They say the same thing to just learn on your own and make your own projects then proceed to give a complicated ass project for your FIRST project. As a beginner.Many of them also state they wouldn’t go to college if they had to do it all over again. But man I Just learned today that I despise coding. And that it’s just simply not for me. But with all that said, Always look forward to your videos man! Appreciate you!

[@johnmaris1582]

I think you should mention about one of the startup aspect of starting out engineering is that junior engineer skill are still really bad. So they spend more time learning than actually deliver result. University engineering program open the door, how deep one goes will determine our longevity

[@josho6854]

Please be aware that startups are not for everyone. Larger companies have a range of roles, there is a lot of opportunity to move around and find your niche. Startups typically have poor work life balance. As with everything else, it depends on you and what you want.

Now ma focused on CAD to land the job, I tried FreeCad and it is great, today I found our the personal Fusion 360 is free.

How can aluminum be 1/3 the density of steel, when steel is 2.5x denser than aluminum? 1/2.5 = 0.4, not 0.33 ?? (I'm assuming you mean density and not "weight" because weight is a force acting on an object due to it's mass, not a property of said object, and we should be defining equal volumes for this comparison to be useful, I know you know this but it's an important distinction that should be stated explicitly)

Also, I know you said marks do not really matter, but if I plan on getting my masters(maybe in the states), do I need higher marks than a 70 average?
