Starting university this year as mature mechanical engineering student literally 30 end of this year, watching all the videos I can to get a head start

[@joonpark3512]

Im in 3B civil engineering in UWaterloo as well and honestly, i just wanna kms everyday during a study term. Different from your times, UWaterloo gives you a fucked up amount of work throughout the term now, distributing the weightings of evaluations pretty much evenly for the four months. While it's good that theres no stress for finals, you just get bombarded with assignments and quizzes that are worth around ~20% every week....HELP.

[@aswinmanmathans6837]

@@TamerShaheen and yeah actually engineering can be done in 3 layers .. lower class engineering . Middleclass ... Higher class.. you have mentioned the third one in the video, the one with brilliant internship ,programmes etc and it worth every penny ... I went the first one that have no good internship , no programmes , only aim is to learn subjects that the teachers themselves don't know why we learn these stuffs...and after the course the companies rejected the job application with the reason of job experience and skills... And that's all a 4 year indian engineering grad can make except IIT grads.

[@J8_official]

I can assure you that engineers are also the hardest working people even after graduation. Our jobs are harder than most other grads. Also, my lecture experience, albeit 30 years ago, was exactly the same...write down as much as possible then try to understand it later.

@@TamerShaheen you study for 2years in The Preparatory Classes you study almost everything from physics maths engineering science to philosophy... these 2 years are the hardest sh*t ever btw I had every mental illness possible at the time haha... then you have a contest called Common National Competition you have to be at the top to get a good engineering school in morocco or you can have international competitions (international i mean French or Canadian) if you get the school you want and the branch you desire, you study 3years (to 4years depends if you want a double graduation) in engineering school then you become an engineer in what ever the branch you pick earlier.

Hi Tamer! Im very pleased to learn from your experience that you openly and lovingly share with others. Here is my little query, what exactly do you refer to as "interview preparation"? I have heard you mention that a couple of times during your presentations. May the Lord Bless you, man!!!

Same bro we can get better tho, remember math is a skill game. Some are naturally better than others at it but just like sports if you train and practice it becomes just another game (Obviously understand it and don’t just memorize formulas) but with that and time you’ll improve very fast Set a schedule or journey for your improvement bro

It honestly really depends on the person. For me, I found first year to be like a 9.5/10. Second year, it was like an 8/10. Third year was like a 6/10. Now fourth year kinda feels like a 4/10. That’s just my opinion tho...everyone can be really different.

I know engineering can be stressful, but your life is more important than the degree. If ur feeling immense pressure, consider talking to ur professor or ur peers/friends as they can relate most to u. If there’s still a lot of pressure on u, u can consider taking some time off from engineering to reset.

Honestly it’s hard to focus in class. So, after class, I’d go home and review what was taught. Also, yea ur allowed to ask questions in class. Most people get too shy to raise their hand and ask but I shouldn’t be like that.

How was your transition in to first year do you have any tips, I'm in grade 12 and I applied to waterloo mechanical engineering so it would help of you could respond.

When I entered first year, I was stressed out that I could fail out of the term...so I would study all day so I could hopefully be able to stay in the program. What I did back then was not the best strategy, but it kinda helped me transition. In ur first year, I def recommend that u meet lots of ppl, ask questions whenever ur confused and don’t expect to be able to get high 90s in university.
