Kinda swayed from the title on this video, I still think it'll be helpful to anyone wondering if they are questioning on whether to do engineering or not based on the difficulty.

[@poopipeboy3033]

I did the full bachelors degree with an honors year, and there was quite a few maths subjects. Here's the thing though: Calculus is no different to any other physics subject. As long as you do a bunch of practice problems to sharpen your understanding of the principles, then it pays off during the exams. Watching KZbin channels like KhanAcademy and PatrickJMT was also a good leg-up whenever I couldn't figure out something maths-related. Most important thing though is genuine interest and motivation for the industry, because otherwise it's impossible to slog it out for a full degree.

Anybody can do something, but not everyone has the personality, way of thinking to be an engineer. Just like anybody can be a decent athlete with training, but obviously not all athletes are equal. Hints of being an engineer should be clear from a very young age. For me playing with legos, messing with hardware, rebuilding motors, it was ovbious I had the natural way of thinking to be an engineer. But I didn't discover the profession until college.

I'm a 60 year old engineer and I'd say that there are two types of successful engineers, the people with natural math skills and guys like me that busted their butts and made themselves learn it. I am only speaking about math skills here. I also believe that some people just don't have the attention to detail required to be a good engineer, so you are right and wrong. Yes, work will get you far in life but the truly great or good engineers have some innate abilities as well. You seem to have great presentation and people skills and those are skills most engineers don't have, so you're going to do well. Make sure you can write as well!

For me. I was an honor student when I was a kid. Then I had a head injury, my skull shattered and they had to sew it while Im awake... so they had to put anesthesia on me..after that I notice that I feel like its hard for me to memorize... nobody believed me not even my parents and siblings but it cause my life to go 360°, I cant remember conversations that happened 2 minutes ago, I cant remember names(unlike ordinary people, even old people beat me to it) which my brain BEFORE the accident can memorize everything without me even trying. I remember how I always raise my hands or getting called to answer and I was always half focus but I know the answers, even my classmates ask me for answers and I tutor my own classmates before.. Anyway long story short I used to memorize everything without even trying.. and I dont even call it smart, I was just gifted with a sharp memory. Nobody listened to me, I was kick from my 1st honor title, went up I keep getting F on my classes. (I STILL LOVE READING AND studying alot of things like how smartphone chips works, gpu cpu etc, how this and that are made, how this thing works... I always check it on google and youtube, even purchase books about psychology and books about owning a hotel) but sadly if I dont do it over and over again I wont remember any of it and education is memorization(to be honest, even if you understand it, you still need to memorize it) anyway I was only honor roles for 3 consecutive years before graduating to HS... do I go to college now? No, I took doctor of dental medicine but I couldnt even handle 1st year which is a regular class because I cant memorize sht and I was serious and focus and everyday I read the books, do the hw and projects.. but when it comes to exam I just couldnt remember it, I cant even remember my classmates name or my professors name which is funny because professors grade that and I always dont put it because I cant remember.. people get pissed of me for asking a "stupid question" .. for them its a stupid question to ask who is our professor because weve been there for almost a year now.. but for me its a real struggle.. I wish I could go back in time or there is a magic pill that can make my brain function again like it used to... I want to study alot of things even making smartphone chips. Sadly im a dumb person who cant even memorize peoples name now. I wish my future kids will have my brain that can memorize fast and not the after accident. I want to do computer engineering but I am not capable of doing it, we can give examples of people with bad memories but were capable of doing this and that, but its really hard if you're the one in this position. Trust me I never stop trying, I do accept it now. All Im doing now is recording everything on a notebook and make sure that the notebook is visible to me so I wont forget even the notebook itself haha

Have been in engineering for 2 years, my love for it has definitely grown. Although the topics can range in difficulty, regardless I’ve classes that are hard but have enjoyed a lot so I persevered.

Being good at the sciences is more dependent on perseverance than being “naturally gifted”. So I suppose you could say that it requires a type of person that doesn’t quit easily, and takes challenges head on.

True true true. Perseverance is the word for it. I also like to think that people who are naturally curious and open minded about the world will gravitate towards the maths and sciences. I know this isn't always true but it makes sitting in class more easy for me. To stay wide eyed and think how these things play out in the world around us.

[@ggdharris3626]

Agreed! Your mindset/attitude and how you approach a STEM degree dictates it’s outcome. I love that you said there is no such thing as “math people”, as David Goggin says best “people like to put titles on you so they can feel better about themselves”. Roger that. I’m 33, and decided half way into this semester (Fall 2019) and only a year away from graduating with a graphic design degree, to change degree plans completely and do Mech E instead. How I see it, is I started with a disadvantage: I hated math and i’m not good at it “YET”, so, to attack that fear I must get good at it, this so called math phobia is something I conjured up in my head at some point in my life, and it’s exactly that: conjured up. To be honest, I’m afraid of math so bad that I associate the word “math” in the same way I associate the word “trauma” lol!!! So getting an engineering degree is exactly what I need in my life right now!! Get some. DO HARD SHIT. Hopefully your all done with your degree, congratulations if so!

I've been saying the same for years. You either want something or you don't. But don't confuse 'don't' with 'can't'. I'm an engineering student and I approve this message.Great video.

[@KyleGillis]

Hahaha “i approve this message” 😂 that shits great

[@TiberiusStorm]

Thank you for saying there's NO such thing as a "math person". I agree!

I got kicked out of school at 13 I am now 41, I didn't do any further education until 3 years ago, when I went to night classes to get my GCSE maths and English, Ive worked as a carpenter for my career. I'm just finishing my 2nd year of electrical engineering, I did a foundation year due to not having A levels. I am getting good grades and I can tell, I will continue on that level. I had never done algebra before, I didn't know how to use a computer at all. My point being, anyone can do it, you just gotta graft for it, anything in life worth having is hard work. All I'm really saying is, if I can do it then anyone can, just got to shut up and listen, work hard. There are so many times I was going to give in because I didn't have the first idea on the equations etc.

Can i ask what school u attended for your degree did it cater to working ppl

[@randallmcgrath9345]

Needed to hear this. Gave up on the engineering idea for a awhile then came back to it. Then I gave up on it again for a bit and now I am once again dreaming of it. Engineering is simply interesting. Period.

I'm going to be a first year student in industrial engineering.. I can relate to you on so many levels!! Can u please do a video on "things you wish you knew in your first year as a freshmen?" Thank youuuu :)

[@KyleGillis]

I definitely can do that. Always looking for more video ideas haha. Thanks for the feedback!!!

[@isazisempi2248]

I love math but I went to school in detroit and let's just say public highschool arent up to snuff. It was really hard to make up for everything I didn't learn in highschool but it is really possible. Math is just like any other language, it takes a couple of years but with preservarance you can do it.

[@TheThefallen35]

This has helped so much thanks man!!! I wanna go to school for electronic engineering but I was so scared because of the math and all I took in school was algebra(don't remember a thing) and Principals of Technology. Trig and calc all seemed so scary. But I loved electronics in school and scored Advanced and top of my class on the Nocti. but this is the motivation I need to make that next step! Thanks so much again! :)

[@KyleGillis]

Glad to hear it man. And yeah, just take the math classes serious regardless of where you have to start from (don't get hung up if you have to retake 1 or 2 lol) and you'll be just fine! Keep me up to date on your progress like where you're going to school and all that! Look forward to hearing how it goes!!

[@jakemichael6130]

Im scared that i cant do good in engineering but i want to do it.

[@KyleGillis]

What do your grades look like now? And what type of engineering you interested in?

[@jakemichael6130]

im in hs my grades are decent. I'm taking trig and precal this semester, so I am prepared for calc. comp engineering.

[@TotalWarKS]

Passion and hard work is all you need

[@KyleGillis]

Haha well you’re well ahead of where i was going into engineering..

You can do it. I’m a 9th grader taking an engineering class called IED and I have an A.

[@micahk3244]

Needed to hear this, thanks. Switching my major to engineering despite my fears. Always wanted to do it but told myself I wasn’t smart enough to accomplish what I want and it would take to long since I’ll need to retake some math.

Thanks, man! I feel more confident now! You should make an video update!

[@briskyfrisky1737]

I have to agree with what you said when you said that anyone can take a STEM major. In fact, humanities and STEM majors work just as hard. You just work a different part of your brain. I notice that most of the “smart kid” schools and they mostly specialize in STEM only. I mean I go to those schools and I see some students taking college classes in humanities fields while other kids take college classes in STEM. So what I’m trying to say is that no matter what school you go to or what you want to do when you get older, anyone can take a STEM course or any other course beside STEM. Thank you so much for the video, it provides motivation for future engineers and I hope you become successful at engineering and beyond.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. I started engineering at 25 because I thought I wasn't a good student, if you really want an engineering degree and study effectively its not that difficult and super super interesting.

[@ithenewrace]

Like the video, audio was somewhat fuzzy as you were talking. I find your points valid as well.

Question from those with more study experience, if you learn something in class is it better to recap it later that same day or recap it the day after? I guess the same day means it's real fresh so you won't forget. Doing it on the next day means it isn't as fresh, but you have a nights sleep between so your brain may be more geared up to remember it on a long time frame. What do we think is the better option to maximise productivity if you have little spare time to study (please don't say both, lol, I know both is obvs going to be the best)?

[@divaindi5202]

Omgg you are such an inspiration :))

[@KyleGillis]

Hahaha thanks! My friends would think otherwise 😂

[@Breazyy1]

@KyleGillis I wanna do mechanical engineering in college. I live in GB and my grades were bad and now they are getting better. I'm in the last year of school and I'm not sure whether I want to do BTEC Level 3 engineering. I'm also starting to love math and I do not want to leave math when I'm older. Should I do mechanical engineering??

[@ijonkilledyou6062]

What prerequisites do you need to start your bachelors? I was good at math but due to lack of motivation, and not caring about school i only finished HS with Geometry, never took Chemisty or Physics.

[@sagargrajput5582]

Very helpful. Thanks a lot. I suck at mathematics. But I've starting working on it. Loads of love from india❤️

[@sulav389]

Actually I am also a bit poor at maths but by yours support I'm gonna choose engineering and complete it anyway✌✌

[@KyleGillis]

+Sulav Thapa haha, lemme put it like this.. You may struggle more than others at first and it will be more difficult cause you’ll be getting caught up when others know the easy math. But if you just take the hard route and put in the work for math from the start, it will be way more rewarding than you thought when you graduate. 👨‍🎓 Promise
