It wasnt all bad, but so many stressfull moments, i would go to bed with my heart pounding like i just ran a marathon out of stress. I never passed all my exams in the regular year, each summer i had exams i had to retake, so never had an actual summer vacation. But oh well... finishing thesis now and about to sign with a prestigious construction company, getting good job and decent pay. But was it worth it? i dont know...

God I am at a standstill with electrical engineering right now. Conquered Community college and headed into University for 2 semesters before I was bounced from a professor who celebrated low class averages below 20% in Differential Equations (DE). I have now overcome C/C++,DE,and Linear Algebra (LA) all with A+’s and am going back in May or August. This endeavor will help make the major slightly easier from this point. I have learned so much not only in the classroom but about life from these courses and am not looking back. It’s like a falling angel getting back to heaven. Your videos aren’t only informal but inspirational. I’m sure I wouldn’t get as far as I did if you didn’t keep reminding me why I loved math to the point where it is love and life.

It's depends on individual. Personally I like engineering and have no regrets, and today I am a professional electrical/electronic engineer doing design work. As a kid I watched Star Wars (episodes 4,5,6) and was so inspired that my ambition is to design and built fantastic machines when I grow up, and I decided to either be a scientist or engineer. I must admit at the bachelor level it was hard and very stressful. But looking back a large part of the stress is due to my own attitude and ignorance, I am too concerned about exam grades and too competitive. If I had recognized that years after I graduated people would not care about your university results (Maybe the 1st job people will look at your results, mostly employers care more about the ability to learn stuffs, 'real' knowledge and attitude), I would have adopt a more relax approach (joyful effort) and study to gain understanding and not towards exam. Generally if one understand the theory and concepts one would not fail and should be easy to get an average grade. At the bachelor level usually things are 'hazy', I must say most of the time I don't get what the professors are trying to convey and even after I graduate I still feel the stuffs I learnt at undergraduate level are like pieces of jigsaw puzzle that are scattered. It is only subsequently when I resume postgraduate study after working for a few years, that the pieces finally came together and form a coherent picture of the science of electronics. All the mathematics, quantum mechanics, solid-state electronics, circuit theory, Fourier/Laplace transforms, electromagnetics, analog/digital electronics, communication theory, control theory, computer architecture/programming etc finally come together and allow one a bird's eye view of how all these topics related to each other.

This. The total separation. They unlink everything. It's the opposite to school where the teacher is taking you step by step in a learning process to get to the end goal and the things you're learning on the way help you get to the goal so in the end you have the big picture. At university they seem to break everything down into separate courses and then these are rethought inside of their own domain without it being linked between the courses. You can even learn things out of sequence. I think there needs to be a better tree structure of the entire degree with the linking branches being made clear between each of the courses and an explanation for them. To give the student and the course creator the explanation of why you're learning this and how they link together. You learn all the separate modules but they don't seem to have the interrelationships between the modules joined up.

I can relate so much. Specially the part about being the best student in high school and going to a good University, in my second year I struggled with some classes and at the time I lost all of my confidence and self esteem, but in some weird way I noticed that I wasn't so mature as I thought, emotionally speaking, I never failed so I didn't know how to deal with failures. I learned to be more kind to myself, since I was also dealing with family problems and working at a part time job, so I shouldn't be aiming for impossible results and I shouldn't be too hard on myself.

I always laugh a bit when people tell me it gets harder after you graduate. I worked full time at a hospital, often picking up hours when a coworker would no show. This was immediately after graduating highschool, and yes that was stressful. But university is far more stressful, especially when you work part-time. At least with work you can leave it there or at worst you called in and get paid more. At university, I have to hope I get good grades in difficult subjects to procure scholarships. If I get a low grade and have to retake a course, I just lost over $1,000 and 4 months of time. All this to *hope* I get a decent job.

Before my MD, I had done a BS in Chemistry and went to work as a chemist at a Harvard U medical research lab in Boston. I had already decided not to continue in chemistry but had to use the degree to get a job. Fortunately, it gave me a chance to learn about medicine and apply for med school. Wasn't sure what area of medicine either. I think we all need to learn and try things to find what fits us well. The real world doesn't always let us do it this way. Best to listen what is inside us so that we can be happy with out lives. :)

Great vids! Graduating university is just a good start. It's just a jumping off point to lifelong learning. For me, I had took a handful of computer science courses (C/C++, Java, PHP, etc), but it took about five years+ to really sink in and make sense. The college also had tutors, I met with the tutor weekly for an hour for years. I learned more from the tutor than the course instructor, because it was a one on meeting. Also, i bought and used a lot of external books and vids (that was before the age of KZbin). I also recorded all the courses I attended so I could review them over and over.

I graduated as a mechanical engineer 40 years ago. The four years on campus were the most stressful years of my life. We had two suicides the first year. The pain was worth the gain. A 40 year career working as an engineer and doing lots of fun technical stuff has been very rewarding. I have traveled the world and worked on billion dollar projects. I would do it again but relax more and try not to stress during the campus years. The only other regret is I went to a tough engineering only University that was 90% male at that time. I missed the social aspects of campus life. That plus I had no money at time made life difficult. Now I am rich $$$ and life is good.

Baloney, stress motivates and makes a difference in the outcome. Exams turn into deadlines at work. Stress is part of job as well as it is in University studying for challenging exams. You blow it off now and that's fine, but you wouldn't be as driven to succeed without the stress. You're so young and inexperienced in the work-a-day world. Working as a professor(if you got a job doing that, living the student for life trek, relatively non-stressful life of an academic) vs. real work building and designing,etc. and deadlines. Big difference ladies, where money and contracts are on the line as well as next month's payroll. Enjoyable watching you both. I am very pleased to see more and more women in University engineering and becoming successful and entrepreneurial. Big changes in last 10 years in parity.

Most instructors are great, some are last minutes hires. I was hired to teach a C++ course on Saturday, and the course started the following week. A Microsoft MFC course I taught, the college changed to book on me five minutes before the course started. As I was walking into the classroom, I was told the book was changed. The students had bought the previous book, and some already started highlighting text. I have known instructors who teach up to seven high level course per semester, that's just impossible to effectively teach.

An academic counselor gave me interesting advice, and for context I'm a math and physics double major. It's important to constantly ask yourself, "Do I need to remember this long term, or do I need a conceptual understanding that will allow me to relearn ideas as necessary when I need them later?" It's helped me to focus on the concepts rather than volume of problems. Don't get me wrong: I do a lot of problems. But I first make sure to read and understand the logic of the textbook, then be a bit picky with the problems I solve. Sometimes, I'll solve problems in my head then look at the worked out solutions on Chegg, while for juicer problems I'll definitely solve things on paper. Other times, I'll write an abbreviated solution on paper. But I do make sure that I also set time aside on how to cleanly organize a full solution---and critically how to use alternative and quick methods to check that my solution is good. All this helps me to test well, get a conceptual understanding, problem solving practice, but in a fraction of the time because I'm not doing every single problem rigorously worked out---just a subset. Although for some smaller texts, sometimes it is important to do all the problems, time permitting. Even then, randomly pick problems to do so that if you don't have enough time, you have an exposure to a variety of exercises even if you couldn't do all of them.

Studying engineering, mathematics, physics, etc., is seldom a joyful experience. However, just like exercise, the benefits become known/appreciated later and have a very positive net effect on life. There's the "tangible benefits" such as greater earnings but there's also some significant "soft, secondary benefits" that are important. One example is the development of rational thinking. The net result is (IMHO) is a much better life and impact on society.

That last point that you guys spoke about holds true for me. I am also more of a visual learner. Listening in lectures does not really do wonders for my understanding of the content. All it does is it gives me a guideline of what I should study during the week. I would almost always leave lectures and say to myself, "What did I actually learn from that lecture?" And my answer would be, "Nothing." Only once I read through the work and practiced problems on my own, then I would grasp the concepts of what we were doing. I always thought that I wasn't approaching the lectures correctly because some of my classmates would just seemingly understand what the lecturer is telling them and I would just be sitting there with a blank stare on my face without a clue of what is going on. Auditory learning is one of my worst qualities.

No matter how you slice it.. As in with most highly skilled occupations...there is a small slice of the population, even of those that seek the positions, that oossess that certain skillset that comes together to help them excel in their endeavors... js

Love your videos! Quick question would you consider doing a video on a maths or physics exam paper from secondary school (High School) here in Ireland? I don't think its so difficult in comparison to other countries but I would love to see what you and other viewers think of it. You have to keep in mind we do 7-8 subjects for our leaving cert, Maths, English and Irish are compulsory

I never studied engineering at uni but I do remember meeting quite a few engineering students who seemed to be struggling to finish their courses in the four years you are meant to. With many dropping out altogether. My cousin took 6 years to finish his aerospace engineering course. I could not help but think that a lot of these students would have been better off going to a trade school and earning an engineering certificate from there. At least they would be able to finish the course and get a job at the end as a draftsman, technician or a machinist etc. Getting a degree sounds good but you have to know your limitations.

Hi ! you may not see this comment but i want to ask you something : I’m french , I’m in high school and I’m seventeen. I know that our school system is very different but my question is : can I become a physicist or astrophysicist in the future ? I mean, I’m pretty good at school (17,50 out of 20, the best is 20 and in average, people have like 13 ...) and i’m crazy about physics ( more quantum physics or astrophysics ). But i don’t know if i need something « special » like to be gifted in math or something ( i’m good at math but not a genius, i don’t find the answer in 2 seconds...) . I’m very worried about my future, especially about my job and i feel like i have nothing special and i cant’ pretend to be what i would like to be ... if someone can help me or give me some help it would be wonderful :) I’m really passionate about physics (like most of you i think) and this is an important thing for me ... Thank you ! PS : i apologize if i did some mistakes because I’m still learning english and i’m not totally fluent...

Go for it! Being gifted is overrated, nothing can beat pure hard work and diligence. Speaking from experience :) from average kid at school to above average, but proud physics major

There wasn’t any machine learning course when I went to university. So that is why I now decided to go for a second master in statistics.

I did a masters degree in Chemical Engineering. A choice I made aged 16 years old, when I knew almost nothing about myself! But that was the protocol at my school back then: pick a degree course based on your A-level choices and then go to uni. After graduation, I chose a different career and did another degree whilst working. I'm very happy with my second choice, but wish I had got a job at 18 or taken a couple years 'out' before deciding to go to university full time. Nice to see so many people get it right, but I certainly didn't...

I also used to regret studying "physics engineering" degree in my university. In my university, this program takes more than 6 years (170 units) and all the classes are very hard in that I pretty much was studying 7 days a week everyday just not to fail the course, including summer semester and failed to socialize as I struggled in academics. By the time I realized in the final year now, all the concepts of electronics and physics will be not useful to my career (and hence it will be hard to get a job) except a bit of CS/stats related courses since my interest now lies in CS/statistics/ML oriented. But now I don't really regret since thinking about the past is painful and I just think that I will be proud of getting a physics-related degree, which is still indirectly related to statistics or ML field and I guess I will keep learning.

Thank you for saying that higher grades aren't really necessary. Currently doing my Masters in Engineering in aus. I completed my undergrad with a shit 62 WAM. So hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the future. Or I just focus on getting a better WAM for my Masters...

Grades matter if they represent an honest personal effort. I mostly tried my best, but when I didn't I stressed. If my grade wasn't perfect but my best effort I felt good.

I enjoyed studying Engineering (got multiple degrees while working full time). I did not have any relationship with any professors until graduate school...that's where one can learn the cool stuff (professors are more open about how they approach and solve problems with grad students and doctoral candidates). I also enjoyed studying advanced engineering mathematics, cultural geography, and Japanese language. The extra mathematics courses proved to be extremely useful in upper level undergraduate and then graduate courses. I can identify with one other commenter: my true passions since I was 12 years old are Art and Physics (particle and quantum physics) . I picked engineering because I thought at the time engineering was using physics to solve problems in a creative way. And, contribute to the betterment of human life by as a team to create products.

Just completed my first year of engineering today ( today was the last exam). I am constantly conflicted between trying to learn things or just going for the grade. Cause you can skip like 20% of the course most of the times and get better grades than people who completely study the course. Anyone got tips?

Neelfrost Definitely study. When you become an EE,you are expected to know what happens when the machinery goes wrong and why.

@@kenshinhimura8708 lol in my country we say that uni degrees are worthless, they're only good in paper. Many students study for grades and actually get their skills themselves by taking courses or learning from whatever materials they can find online. If you still can learn how to do the job your employer requires, that's fine. Plus you'll learn more with time during your time working there, hence why you can sorta relax and not stress about your future. Put in effort but not too much to the point that all you do is study day and night

I'm a mechanical engineer in Brazil and I regret not studying more. I was not a model student at all, and that closed some oportunities for me in labs and other stuff.

I'm currently on my second year of engineering studies at my community college and plan to change it to mechanical engineering after I transfer. I came back to college for this major. I hope I don't regret it ever. My biggest goal is to study overseas preferably Germany and I hope I can be of use by that time.
