How about combining mechanical engineering with other subjects? I really miss more information about engineering + biology. Not(!) medical-engineering though as to some, me included medical devices is not in the interest. I am referring to- using living things to store energy, data or power from the sun so it could be converted into electricity. Most likely it would be either a mechanical engineering degree+ biology but I think that there are very little to read about careers like this.

What is lacking with Mechanical Engineers today, is the knowledge of how to design mechanisms correctly. Did know that there's a mathematical formula that can be used for all mechanism designs? It's called Gruebler's Count. I found a way to make it practical for all 3D mechanisms. Here's the link if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXelaZqDn913hs0

I am taking Mechanical Engineering also and due to the pandemic we were only discussing our lessons online and I am pretty worried about the future because yeah we learn new things, knowledge and more but still worried about the skills since we can't have our laboratories :'(

[@JakeVoorhees]

Oh snap so no labs? That’s nuts. Thanks for commenting. USA schools are pretty much requiring in person for engineering students because of the labs. Wow. Okay so at least you aren’t alone you know? Other students must face this. So I guess you have to go outside and get more experience. Which type of ME are you trying to be? You can join solar powered car or rocket team to learn more. Join AsME chapter and see what projects they are doing. Same with engineers without borders. Maybe you can do some projects. Ask your professors if you can help with their research or support grading. Etc there are ways. Just have to get creative sometimes. Does that make sense? Thank you! Ask me any follow up okya i respond to everything thanks !!

5:37, another good thing about being an engineer is knowing which particular engineering department or sector was to blame when accidents like this happen and reported on the news, and not to go into instant panic mode and swear an oath not to step foot in the airport for the rest of your life, it's gives clarity to the mind, basically, the more you learn, the less you fear

I’m a diesel technician so my background revolves in heavy equipment ( cars, trucks, buses, tractors, trailers). I wanna go back to school and finish my bachelors program in mechanical engineering. But im not sure where to start. Jake your the closest thing I have to a mentor. I wanna continue to design, develop, test and build. But where can I go from here ? Please advise

[@JakeVoorhees]

Hey Steven, great question. Thank you for that compliment by the way, I really appreciate that. When it comes to going back to school, the largest considerations are outside of the school part. Can you figure out the financial part, the time management, and the lifestyle management side? People with kids and a less flexible existing career, less financial support, etc, may struggle to even figure out how to functionally make it happen. Once you can pass this part, next is how much do you really want it? It is hard enough as a younger student who has academic momentum coming out of high school. Sometimes its really hard for people to hit the books again after just a few years. If its 10+ years, this must be more challenging. But maybe you have challenged yourself your entire life, and you're a life long learner and this is fine. Another pass - great. Finally, its very unlikely that someone going back to pause their life for four years and get a degree. So can you endure 6-10 years of part time school? If so, final pass. Go for it! Because all of us engineers had that 1-2 students in our classes that were 10-20 years older than everyone else. And let me tell you, those students were always A students and always carried the groups, had a good relationship with the professor, etc. They are more mature. They know what they want. And generally they have industry and experiential advantages, that if you can pass the aforementioned considerations, you will do great. I hope this helps, cheers and good luck. Let me know how we can help more next, thanks!

I have seen a guy comment this on the networking video and thought it was interesting, he said the following "Hey mate, figured out i could ask you about something since you are an actual engineer, i am an archviz artist and interior/decorater artist, i have a huge knowledge in what concerns 3D arts, and i have been working in the archviz industry lately, but its very hard to get gigs especially when being young and still a physical major student which means still not studying architecture, i love design and physics and a bit of math (i am good at it but not my favorite thing on earth), is architectural engineering a good option for me to get a combination between arts and CGI and math and physics or is it a trap to get into math sciences only, and how are things for architectural engineering and architects in the actual architecture industry "

What are the positions for an engineer like me, i.e. I would like to be more involved between client and the engineering side/team. Regards

[@JakeVoorhees]

yeah you just are going to be on the leadership and management side of things. so grind through the first few years, and move into leadership as soon as you can. Take on additional responsibilities whenever you can. Become irreplaceable with skill and work ethic. Read, "So Good They Can't Ignore You", and operate that way. Take the PE asap, communicate during meetings, come up with ideas, and always have a great relationship with bosses and bosses of bosses. Ask them what you can be doing to accelerate your career, and they will tell you. Does this make sense?

I want to understand the world I live in more than any other engineer. Thoughts?

[@JakeVoorhees]

The broad understanding won't help you, necessarily. Everything you need to know in addition to your schooling can be learning for free and on your own accord. The physics degree, unless you want to be a physics PhD researcher or professor, really doesnt help you at all.

Can i take ME and get a job in that field?

[@JakeVoorhees]

thanks for the comment. Have you seen my versus video? Many people struggle to understand they should do ME or EE, so I made this, “Mechanical VS Electrical Engineering” kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGtXoytataJqcU Here is the main way to know, since MEs and EEs can work with each others jobs if they want. Do you like programming? If so, do EE. If you don't want that, than do ME. There is nothing applied or hands on or implementable for EE. It's all theoretical. You cannot see electric or magnetism or programming. So if you like theory, EE. If you want applied and real world, do ME.

I am trying to find out what kind of engineer I want to be. Mechanical, mechatronics, computer science, computer engineering, and more all sound interesting...but I just don't know. Everyone tells me I have the grades and work ethic to do whatever I put my mind to, but what do I put my mind to?

[@JakeVoorhees]

Yes this is a situation I see pretty often. Continue to work hard and follow your dreams, and make sure to always keep your options open and your optimism up. Because the minute you give up thinking about this and let major choice deter you, you may not become an engineer. There is not "right time" to choose a major, but there is a loose formula for attempting to know the best choice at the time. You have to look at your skills and interests around engineering.There are only three big engineering categories, so lets start there. Each of Civil/Mechanical/Electrical are the only fields in the USA with over 300,000 jobs. Chemical for example, is just 32,600. Biomedical, 19,000. Even Aerospace at Mechanical. Mechanical Engineers work in a few main categories including machine component and manufacturing design, heating ventilating and cooling systems for buildings, and thermal and fluid systems. If you take apart things and put them back together, want to invent things, 3D print, model stuff, and tinker and build things, then ME may be for you. There can be some programming involved, especially if you start to lean towards the Mechatronics side of the industry, which begins to incorporate more electronics/computer engineering with some programming. But you can avoid a lot of programming if you choose. Civil. Civil Engineers have five areas of specialty. They design and build buildings and bridges and other structures, transportation systems, geotechnical systems (under the ground), they work with the environment/water resources, and then coastal. Construction Engineering and Management is another similar industry that civil engineers can work in. If you were the engineer building legos, playing sim city, and wanting to build things rather than take apart stuff and put it back together, you could be a civil engineer. You can also be very much less of a programmer and get away with it. I am a civil engineer, and I have essentially zero programming skills. Electrical. Also called "Electrical & Electronics Engineering". This field is probably the best for the future. Electrical engineer work with electrical power/dist/generation, telecommunications, semiconductor design and manufacturing, signals & controls, aerospace parts and manufacturing, and research and development. Electrical engineering is very different from civil/mechanical because it is theoretical rather than tangible. You cannot see electricity or magnetism, and you cannot see what is happening with circuits or semiconductors. Because of this, EEs take more math and harder math, besides PDEs that mechanical engineers must take like fluid/thermodynamics. But EE is considering the most math and harder math, and because its 100% theoretical, typically an EE can learn ME math and adapt to the physica word easier than a ME or CE can do the other way around. Unlike in CE and usually in ME, EEs must be good programmers too. EEs often can work as software developers or software engineers after university, because they require so much coding skill. This also means EE is the safest for the future, as there are 1.4M software developer jobs growing at a rate of 22% right now. Thats more jobs than CE/ME/EE/IE (industrial engineering is 4th with 285,000 jobs) combined. Industrial. This would be the 4th consideration, particularly if you are not as good at math, are a better communicator, and want to work more with people other things rather than design or calculations or the "engineering work" within the engineering world. Industrial Engineering is very different from other engineerings in that it considered the entire system perspective, rather than simply optimizing the parts of the systems themselves first, which is what most engineering does. In IE, you must consider the entire system first in order or maximize the sum of the parts. IEs work in manufacturing, human factors, safety optimization to eliminate injury, etc. Outside of the big 3 and then IE, there are smaller branches like mentioned before. Computer engineering is very similar to EE, Aerospace engineering can be achieved with an ME degree and many AEs go to grad school, chemical engineering is so small that I only recommend it if you are from a very chemical engineering heavy country. Biomedical engineering is very small and in my opinion, should then be avoided for undergrad. Environmental engineering is 55,000 strong, and same thing as AE. You can get into environmental engineering through civil engineering. In fact, my degree is called "Civil & Environmental Engineering" so I could do just that if I want. There are other small engineering majors too, like materials or petroleum, nuclear and manufacturing, but you can get into any of these my majoring in one of the big 3 and ending up there in your career. Choose one of the big 3, and you will be fine. Does this make sense and help? I will be making a new how to choose an engineering major video soon, thanks!

Hey Krish, thanks for the question and thank you for being there for live streams. What you are asking about are design skills. Designers lean on the creative side, and most times people who are engineers actually struggle with creativity. We are given a set of rules and formulas to follow, and we play inside the box. It's why bridge engineering stinks bc eventually it becomes too risky to innovate. Designers usually have to iterate over and over and build on experiences in order to come up with new great ideas. I know it seems hard to come up with something from scratch. Edison took 3000 designs to do the light bulb. He didn't just sit down and figure it out. Does that make sense? Thanks!

[@therayman3]

Long story short everything you explained goes right into Manufacturing which is my field of expertise. I’m currently doing my masters in Manufacturing Systems Engineering. And hopefully by May when I am done, I’ll have a full time career position landed in any of those fields including Medical Device which I am currently working as a product technician. What do you think of my pursuit. Thanks.

[@JakeVoorhees]

I think that’s great. I’m wondering what your question is though? What are you trying to figure out now? What has your job momentum strategy been so far? Thankssss

[@therayman3]

Overall I would like to stay in Med Device Manufacturing since I have experience in it, but I’m opened to other opportunities in the Manufacturing section like potentially Aerospace or Automotive since they are similar. I would mainly like to know what type of engineer discipline in the field is high in demand like ex: Systems, Automation, Process, Manufacturing or etc? Engineer

[@therayman3]

Also with job momentum, I’m mainly applying through Indeed, Ziprecruiter, or through my school. I would love to relocate to Texas since their is loads of opportunities there. What ways would you go about applying and putting yourself out there in the job market?

[@JakeVoorhees]

Biomedical engineering roles themselves in the USA include only 19,000 positions. There are EE, CE, and MEs that all can work on designing devices in the industry, which is my suggestion because they have so many more roles available. ESP EE and ME with each more than 300,000 jobs in the USA

[@JakeVoorhees]

As for automotive, yes that’s mechanical engineering so you just have to figure out which of the big 3 directions you want to go. Yes this is a situation I see pretty often. Continue to work hard and follow your dreams, and make sure to always keep your options open and your optimism up. Because the minute you give up thinking about this and let major choice deter you, you may not become an engineer. There is not "right time" to choose a major, but there is a loose formula for attempting to know the best choice at the time. You have to look at your skills and interests around engineering.There are only three big engineering categories, so lets start there. Each of Civil/Mechanical/Electrical are the only fields in the USA with over 300,000 jobs. Chemical for example, is just 32,600. Biomedical, 19,000. Even Aerospace at Mechanical. Mechanical Engineers work in a few main categories including machine component and manufacturing design, heating ventilating and cooling systems for buildings, and thermal and fluid systems. If you take apart things and put them back together, want to invent things, 3D print, model stuff, and tinker and build things, then ME may be for you. There can be some programming involved, especially if you start to lean towards the Mechatronics side of the industry, which begins to incorporate more electronics/computer engineering with some programming. But you can avoid a lot of programming if you choose. Civil. Civil Engineers have five areas of specialty. They design and build buildings and bridges and other structures, transportation systems, geotechnical systems (under the ground), they work with the environment/water resources, and then coastal. Construction Engineering and Management is another similar industry that civil engineers can work in. If you were the engineer building legos, playing sim city, and wanting to build things rather than take apart stuff and put it back together, you could be a civil engineer. You can also be very much less of a programmer and get away with it. I am a civil engineer, and I have essentially zero programming skills. Electrical. Also called "Electrical & Electronics Engineering". This field is probably the best for the future. Electrical engineer work with electrical power/dist/generation, telecommunications, semiconductor design and manufacturing, signals & controls, aerospace parts and manufacturing, and research and development. Electrical engineering is very different from civil/mechanical because it is theoretical rather than tangible. You cannot see electricity or magnetism, and you cannot see what is happening with circuits or semiconductors. Because of this, EEs take more math and harder math, besides PDEs that mechanical engineers must take like fluid/thermodynamics. But EE is considering the most math and harder math, and because its 100% theoretical, typically an EE can learn ME math and adapt to the physica word easier than a ME or CE can do the other way around. Unlike in CE and usually in ME, EEs must be good programmers too. EEs often can work as software developers or software engineers after university, because they require so much coding skill. This also means EE is the safest for the future, as there are 1.4M software developer jobs growing at a rate of 22% right now. Thats more jobs than CE/ME/EE/IE (industrial engineering is 4th with 285,000 jobs) combined. Industrial. This would be the 4th consideration, particularly if you are not as good at math, are a better communicator, and want to work more with people other things rather than design or calculations or the "engineering work" within the engineering world. Industrial Engineering is very different from other engineerings in that it considered the entire system perspective, rather than simply optimizing the parts of the systems themselves first, which is what most engineering does. In IE, you must consider the entire system first in order or maximize the sum of the parts. IEs work in manufacturing, human factors, safety optimization to eliminate injury, etc. Outside of the big 3 and then IE, there are smaller branches like mentioned before. Computer engineering is very similar to EE, Aerospace engineering can be achieved with an ME degree and many AEs go to grad school, chemical engineering is so small that I only recommend it if you are from a very chemical engineering heavy country. Biomedical engineering is very small and in my opinion, should then be avoided for undergrad. Environmental engineering is 55,000 strong, and same thing as AE. You can get into environmental engineering through civil engineering. In fact, my degree is called "Civil & Environmental Engineering" so I could do just that if I want. There are other small engineering majors too, like materials or petroleum, nuclear and manufacturing, but you can get into any of these my majoring in one of the big 3 and ending up there in your career. Choose one of the big 3, and you will be fine. Does this make sense and help? I will be making a new how to choose an engineering major video soon, thanks!

Thank you for watching and commenting! First watch this video to make sure you know everything you can about the field: “What Do Mechatronics Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorNfY2Zhrd_mtU and about improving yourself, here you are about things you can do in your free time, “What Should Engineers Do in Free Time?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3acgXuphqylgMk, otherwise, these are my comments about getting more opportunities: The way to get internships or any sort of experience/opportunity or role in general is to reach out to people who already know you who may know someone working in the engineering niche that you are targeting. Examples may be a professor in that niche, or a leader or officer of an engineering club/society/organization in the field you are focusing on, or someone that your family knows or a family friend, or someone you met at a job fair or conference or event in that niche, etc. Join Engineers Without Borders to get experience - there are local professional chapters you can join even if you are out of school. Go to hackathons to meet people and even build some experience. Anyone that you know - ask them for introductions to engineers or for informational interview opportunities if they are in engineering now (“Informational Interview Tips“ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKm4paOwha1-oMU). After that, keep in touch, and then ask about internships and other opportunities. Even volunteer roles nowadays can be a good path to a paid internship. Does that make sense? Thanks!

I am doing batchlers in mechanical how can i become autonomous car engineer

[@JakeVoorhees]

watch this video! what other questions do you have?

[@Gonz698]

Automotive systems engineer will be the type of engineer to focus on vehicles. I graduated ASU with that degree.

[@mvp-tt9dz]

@@Gonz698 thank you could uplz tell me which country is best to do masters in robotics

[@JakeVoorhees]

@@Gonz698 very cool, thanks for commenting. And what are you up to now in your career? Let me know if there is anything I can help you with and I'll do my best to advise you. Cheers and thanks again!!

[@JakeVoorhees]

@@mvp-tt9dz heyyy thanks for the comment. Hard to say. Even in the USA, robotics degrees and mechatronics degrees have been slow to establish themselves. It also doesn't matter what degree is best in which country - I think that is the wrong strategy. What country do you want to live and work in? That is where you should target for a degree. This way, you can build relationships with employers in that country, and end up staying there after the degree. Does that help and make sense? Thank you and let me know what follow up questions you have, cheers!

I’m doing mechanical engineering major and aerospace engineering minor. Wish me luck

[@JakeVoorhees]

super good combo. i think you'll find that you either like AE enough or dont, and the minor wont matter a whole lot, but make sure you have internships and research and other organization experience around AE

I'm interested in engineering management.what can I do ? I already have B.ENG MECH.

[@JakeVoorhees]

Hey thanks for the comment. Going into engineering management is a great call for your career if you are a communicator and leader and want to rise through the ranks at a firm. What you can do is focus your technical electives on things like project management, and do your internships where you work under someone who is in management - you can shadow them. Does that help and make sense? I get a lot of questions about doing MBA too, after engineering undergraduate. Let me know what follow up questions you have okay? Cheers thanksss

[@sajalop7914]

Can I get job in aerospace after b.tech in mechanical engineering????????? Is it true???I'm definitely doing mechanical engineering and become aeronautical or aerospace engineering

Is there any scope for automobile engineers in usa

[@JakeVoorhees]

Hey thanks so much for the comment. Yeah there are plenty of automotive engineering jobs, and here is a video that goes over a position at Toyota kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZOsnKqhmbWCoa8. Let me know what follow up questions you have and I can try to help, thank you! Cheers

[@marykay8587]

my partner took his mechanical engineer but only went as far as his apprenticeship, he's thinking of going back to school to finish his full degree....but fears his age may get in the way 🤷 Hes 41

Can you do automotive after completing a bachelors in mechanical engineering without having experience on cars

[@JakeVoorhees]

Hey thanks for the comment. Sure, it's possible to crossover into other types of engineering with almost any degree. The way you go out this is to start to network with more people in the niche you are trying to move into. Join engineering organizations/societies/clubs in the niche you are headed. Start attending career fairs, conferences, and networking events in that same niche. It's a great idea to work on some side project or portfolio items in order to show your ambition, thought leadership, and demonstration of skills in that area. For example in automation engineering, you could design an entire engine or a series of engine parts, or an entire automobile in solidworks or a similar program to get experience. Does this help and make sense? Let me know what follow up questions you have and I can try and help you with those. Cheers and thanks again!

@@JakeVoorhees hey man thank you very much you deserve a subscribe can you also tell me a website to find internships

[@kingzzzmen7242]

How about the working for the Space Force, as a mechanical engineer?

[@JakeVoorhees]

Ya definitely, good comment, mechanical engineers can work in anything aerospace. It’s all about where you do your internships and align your networking. I have some AE videos that could be helpful, “What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHXEYZl4a9CrjMU . “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKazcpyXpNN_qLM . “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-7oaagj8ikZs0 . I hope these help. Let me know what follow up questions you have okay and I can help you with those. I respond to everything, cheers!

[@kingzzzmen7242]

@@JakeVoorhees I have watched all your videos so far, and of course you gained a new subscriber. Would you have any suggestions on which technical electives I should take if I wanted to go in the Space Force "Developmental Engineer" program? Here is the link for the job description. www.thebalancecareers.com/us-air-force-developmental-engineer-job-3356681

[@JakeVoorhees]

Hey thanks so much for that. This looks like a cool plan. You just need to take as many aerospace electives as possible. This is an aerospace engineering style role. Does that make sense? Here are my aerospace engineering videos that may help you for now, “What is Aerospace Engineering? What do Aerospace Engineers Do?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHXEYZl4a9CrjMU . “Aerospace Engineer Interview | How To Get A Job At Boeing | How To Get A Job At Lockheed Martin” kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKazcpyXpNN_qLM . “What is Combustion Engineering? | Can Mechanical Engineers Become Aerospace Engineers?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-7oaagj8ikZs0 .

[@carlorodneydotig]

It would be better if after high school, every student would just pick what career they want, study the career's fundamental for just a year, and afterwards, everyone gets job. Companies should teach them the skills they need more, and while working and having experience, they continue to learn more about their passion. Too bad this world isn't fair.

I come to dubai and i don't know which should i search for job..as a mechanical engineer

[@kathmed9536]

Hi! Can a mechanical Engineer become a developer? Like coding something like that... Thanks!

[@JakeVoorhees]

Absolutely! That's exactly why software and coding was including in these top 5. There are over 300,000 ME jobs in the USA but over 1.4 million software developer jobs, so MEs are exposed to so much more potential if they drift towards software, thanks!
