Before committing to a graduate degree in engineering, please consider degrees outside of engineering. These would be degrees like business administration, law, computer science, etc. The technical knowledge of an engineering degree goes further than simply the realm of engineering.

[@alexisidro]

100% It's absolutely worth considering other paths as well, specially business related.

[@sinsinsinat5377]

I am considering it because my bachelor's, bioengineering didnt open any engineering position for me... now with my masters I hope to expand my network, apply for more internships, delvs much much deepr into mechanical engineering .

[@RedSarGaming]

I'm in the exact same position. I have one quarter left of my BS in biomedical engineering and didn't do enough while I was in school to gain work/research experience. 100% going to get a masters in ME and actually build my work experience this time.

[@Trowoyy]

I have the option to get my MSME in a year after my BS. Not entirely sure what I want to do, but since I’m already graduating a year early for my BS I think I’m going to shoot for it. Thoughts? Thanks for the video!

[@alexisidro]

Might as well get it over with.

[@felixjesussolanovergara2553]

If you are an international student and you want the Canadian PR (Permanent Residency) should you go for a master's degrees or should you study in a college in order to get a job fast?

[@alexisidro]

Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't live in Canada. In the US, many international students go to Grad school in order to extend their stay, so they can find a job that will sponsor them. And then eventually find residency here. But I don't know all the legal details or how they actually make it work. Not too familiar with that process

[@Kanza535]

Good video homie

[@alexisidro]

Thanks!

[@joshuacalderon1363]

For now, I'm a mechanical engineering major and am interested in aerospace engineering. However, I do not want to change majors because I still like the curriculum of mechanical better over aerospace. I am still a long way of graduation, but I was thinking of getting a masters in aerospace engineering. Is this a good path?

[@alexisidro]

It’s a good plan. You could also take aero classes and projects in your senior year and see who you like it.

[@nathan8472]

haha, love the title of the books. Great vid.

[@alexisidro]

LOL! Thanks, Nathan!

[@allanultimate]

I am 18 and I’m in the Air Force right now I have my 36 months of free college but I’m not sure what to go into. I’m a mechanic for aircrafts and I was just thinking of getting my bachelors in mechanical engineering and work or Lockheed or Boeing but still get a masters in mechanical I just don’t know how I would balance that

[@alexisidro]

if you want to work for those companies, your experience and your BS will take you a long way, especially with your status as a veteran. If still unsure about a master's after you graduate, then you can go into the field, work, and then after some time (maybe a year or two), re-evaluate your options. One thing for sure is trying to make a decision on a master's degree this early in your career will be very difficult, and your mind might change as you grow and expose yourself to the hands on and theoretical work you will perform. Another thing for sure is your future is bright regardless of the combination of the paths you mentioned above! Let's do this Alex I.

[@praneethram2003]

Hi sir. I'm currently in final year of Bachelor Mechanical Engineering and planning to pursue my masters in germany.Could you please suggest some good programs for a mechanical engineer (in the current world trend and scenarios) .Would love to hear it from you.

[@alexisidro]

Some that come to mind; Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science related projects will go a long way. Financial Engineering is also I looked into a little while ago. These are just some fields and options to look into.

[@Ben-xe5ng]

Hi. 24years old here. I’m currently in final year of Bachelor Automotive Technology and planning on pursuing further into MS degree in mechanical engineering. I feel like i have the time but should i consider taking other course instead or stick to what i prefer? Would love for you to share your opinion.

[@alexisidro]

If you have the time and money, I would absolutely explore other fields. Now it’s the perfect time while you’re in school, go into subjects that interest you and see what else the world has to offer. For example, one thing I wish I would have done is taking psychology classes! Enjoy the journey and hope you find something that excites you :)

[@momenamir8568]

Would it be smart if I took a Ms in mechatronics with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering?

[@alexisidro]

Depends. Watch this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5y7l5WoZcuhrZo

[@sureshshrestha9146]

there is scholarship program for masters degree..i am mechanical engineer of 2018 passed out but no work experience..i have time but i dont know how will it benefit me..or what will i do it?....what do you think shall i go for it?

[@alexisidro]

If it’s a scholarship, and you have the time and don’t know what to do or what path to follow, and are not in a rush to make money, then if it were me, I’d look into it. I’d consider it, check out the fields, and do one that’s interesting. Talk to the advisors to see what they suggest too. Best of luck!

[@haymenfoods]

Sir I'm totally lost in mechanical engineering. I'm a graduate in mech engr in Nigeria with an option in production engineering. But I totally lost it seeing lack of experience after school due to no jobs. I want to further my education in Canada. How do I go about it? College or masters. I've got degree in a university. What courses to get me back on track. I desire to work as a production engineer and in oil and gas

[@ceasetheday87]

If you know you want to work in oil and gas specifically, would a degree in petroleum engineering be worthwhile? The oil and gas industry fluctuates a lot and a degree specifically in that field would be job security. I’m not sure if you mean you graduated undergraduate or graduate in mechanical engineering. I would not suggest a second graduate degree in petroleum engineering.

[@daxstar-x1r]

Would it be possible to get a MS in mechanical engineering with a BS in physics ?

[@FlyinLow619]

Yes it is

[@alexisidro]

Yes. Schools usually require an ME bachelor's "or similar" (which usually means STEM degree). Just check with the school requirements and should be good to go!

[@daxstar-x1r]

@@alexisidro Ok, Thank You!

[@akuyumu66]

Did you end up getting a BS in physics?

[@daxstar-x1r]

@@akuyumu66 Hi, yes that's what I'm currently pursuing! I don't declare minors til next school year but i'll likely do a minor in Electronics as well

[@francisalfredcastro6222]

Would it be smart to take up a master's degree in mechanical engineering with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering?

[@alexisidro]

The question for you is why? Here’s a video that goes deeper into your question. Best and worst reasons for a master’s: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5y7l5WoZcuhrZo

[@alexisidro]

*it depends. Watch the video to know why I mean

[@hameemgorabi]

Masters level knowledge in engineering can be very rough without the fundamental knowledge of the bachelor's. It's certainly doable for some madman, but may be extremely rough to juggle with research or a job.

[@beetsleather2421]

can i apply for a MME if i have a bs in environmental science ?

[@alexisidro]

I would say yes. Double check with the school/program you are trying to get into

[@haoqinggenius4335]

is it advisable with a BS in mechanical engineering to a MS in physics?

[@alexisidro]

Ask yourself how it will be helpful/how you will use it. What benefits does it have?

[@alexisidro]

If it aligns with what you want to do, then it might be right for you

[@haoqinggenius4335]

What if I pursue it only because of interest in physics? But I do not know what to do with it yet. Also, would universities accept such applicants from a different field? Would a student like this survive the masters? Sorry I have so many questions I hope I don't trouble u

[@ceasetheday87]

I think it depends on your interests in mechanical engineering or physics and what you intend to do after completing the degree. The primary purpose of a master’s degree is to specialize. It is worth mentioning mechanical engineering may require licensure while a career physics likely may not.

[@abrahamliranza7293]

Would this also apply to other kinds of engineering? More specifically electrical.

[@alexisidro]

Yes. Some EEs also get their FE.
