[@glo85ria]

helpmeimconfused I totally feel you. My first year was hell on earth, I got so depressed and stressed out but once I was done with mathematics and all the other nasty stuff, it got fun and enjoyable. I forgot to mention that there are a lot of great educational videos on platforms like KZbin and khan academy, the key is finding out which learning style works for you and makes learning enjoyable. Associating real life everyday stuff to what you're learning also makes the process more enjoyable. I also recommend meditation especially when you feel like your brains are fried and in zombie-mode. You're on this amazing journey and you can make it. I'm rooting for your success.

High school teachers and counselors should be showing videos like this to students instead of following a syllabus that’s 50+ years old 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@TheMaxAbe]

Mr._. M.S.O we do man but you know what kids do when you show them a video like this? They be on their phones going through IG. I mean, these kids don’t even communicate bruh. One day the power went out and for the next 45min, the kids were on their phones instead of talking to each other or playing. The teachers, counselors or even the system are not at fault for some of the bad decisions these kids make on a daily basis. These are stuff that should be taught from home but I guess the parents don’t have time to talk to their kids about their future so they give them phones, video games and stuff to get them distracted. Teachers are not responsible for everything my man. I’ve done a lot more than teaching and some kids get it and some others don’t. I think that’s why I have decided to go for engineering

[@youihajje]

@@TheMaxAbe bro I swear ur so right, one time we were in a lock down and u know what the kids were doing?? U probably already know. INSTEAD of being quiet and being patient, the kids were on their phones bloody playing games and texting they didn't even care, even in class when I'm trying to study every kid is not playing attention and being stupid. Only like a few people I know study hard and want to become something in life. So ur right teacher do show this but the kids don't CARE!

[@ChrisPPotatoIDC]

@@TheMaxAbe I see where you're coming from but that doesn't excuse the crappy American education system. And one of the reasons I think students are on their phones is because the classes are not engaging enough. Basically, it is ok for a student to use their phone to post a video of their physics model demonstrating one of Newton's laws on Instagram or to use it for a calculator/google. It's up to the student if they want to learn but the American education sucks.

Once you pass all your math theory classes (calc 1,2,3, physics, and diff.eq) it's all equation application. So you learn when to use certain equations based on application. If you are organized and are dedicated you should do great! Others will naturally be better than you and faster. But nothing can replace hard work, practice, and persistence. Cheers bud

[@johnchristian4821]

Before I've became a Mechanical Engineer, I thought the field was just about machineries but I was wrong. Mechanical Engineering is the broadest engineering field that is all about Energy transformation. Mechanical Engineers are what you call Energy Engineers since we are the only ones in the Engineering field capable of transforming various kinds of energy to another forms (thermal, kinetic, fluid, some electrical such as motors and robotics, fuels, natural energies, and so on). With this, we Mechanical Engineers should be the ones leading the energy issues of the world.

Totally agree with you.. not just the energy conversion but also the efficiency of the conversion process...

[@randatatang9222]

Yes yes yes you're spot on. This is probably one of the best idea about Mechanical engineering. This is exactly what happens even in machinery. First energy is converted from other sources into Mechanical energy which will probably be in form of rotary motion and torque, then this motion is transmitted, modified and transformed if need be into other motion forms, the mechanical energy is then applied to do work. The different machine elements obtain their functions (or their so-called design intent) from their relationship with the different energy transformation processes going on within a Mechanical system.

But I know I can be good at math because when I was kid I knew multiplication tables and divisions tables by heart and could answer any question a teacher asked me

[@CorncropTv]

Always been interested in mechanical engineering, the problem is my math skills like most people. I was one of those kids taught by teachers who were already spread too thin, but ultimately i gave up on advancing my skills once i felt like i fell behind, and that was my fault. The Brightside is, you can always pick up where you left off, and Nower days math tutorials are just on another level on YT.

[@Bubs.]

You can absolutely learn math, I was very intimidated going into the math classes for engineering, and would think how am I going to ever understand this? Then after a week or two of going to class, the teachers piece it together in small bites that are easy to pick up. Do that for a while and pretty soon you’ve learned calculus!

Asher Alexander hey, I'm going to the 3rd year here in Brazil (M.E. is 5 years in here) and I strongly recommend you take notes before going to college on Analytical Geometry, on R2 and on R3, Introduction to calculus and functions, as in basic math too, because the biggest mistakes us undergrads do on calculus is not about derivative or some other topic learned in calculus itself, but in basic math, as in ln3 * ln5 = ln15. Here on KZbin there is a lot of channels that talk about these topics and the rest is up to you. Good luck on your course!

This degree sounds exactly like what I'd like to major in!! Ever since I was little, when asked what I wanted to be when I was older, I always said "an inventor" and would draw "invention" ideas in my journals my mom bought me. As I got older, I always had an interest in physics topics on KZbin and watched many physics related videos just out of boredom or for curiosity. I also naturally gravitated towards movies with physics/space related themes such as Interstellar or Triangle. As I've gotten older I've also had time to contemplate what exactly math is and how it applies to our universe and develop an appreciation for the beauty/abstraction of it. So happy to have finally found what I want to do on a heart level, not just on a financial level

As an ME who graduated 30 years ago, it is interesting to see the similarities and differences now and then. One big difference is that back then Mechanical Vibrations was an elective for undergrads and was taught at a 500 level. It was a very difficult class and it was heavily involved with partial differential equations, often a system of them. The grad students had difficulty, and for the undergrads it was a nightmare.

I’m in year 8, doing year 11 specialist math and I am exceptional in my science/physics classes and just a few weeks ago my science teacher recommended for me to study physics and engineering in a more depth environment outside of school. My whole life I have been curious about how electronics devices and general everyday appliances worked efficiently. I hope to one day be one of the people that make life more easier for the human race with more advanced technology soon to be invented. This video helped me a lot to know what to study and what to expect in a few short years. Thank you for this video.

Mrwaffleandmilk I've heard many engineers tell me that in their careers they don't actually do much math like they do in college. it's mostly computer programs doing all the calculations for them. In college they'd do alo t of Math, but after college, the math is almost never used

[@chiefcleve1834]

Mrwaffleandmilk I get you, because engineering is about problem solving, so you would still use some concepts from math right? because you'd still have to have an understanding of how the computer programs do the calculations in order to test the accuracy of it

Go into a major that gives u a focus on your first day. Then your experience will become more valuable & you will be more satisfied knowing exactly your direction. Mechanical Engineering focus depends on your employment & if u are lucky to keep your job in the same field. Other majors in engineering generally have a focus by itself on the first day in college unlike mechanical engineering. Chemical engineering focus is always around process. Civil engineering focus is construction of buildings & structures, vibrations of structures, hydraulics of dams & canals. Aerospace engineering is aerospace engines & fuselage structure .. Avionics Engineering is electronics & controls of aircraft. Mechanical is general with no focus. Computers science graduates have an edge in programming including robots & automation. Electrical engineers have an edge in control engineering. Process engineers know the requirements of controls better. Mechanical engineers are useful helping different areas. Chemical Engineers are better trained to manage power plants & pipeline engineering. Welding Engineering is a specialized area by itself. Chemical Engineers are also involved in process equipment selection & design & thermal design. Structural engineers are more involved in vibrations than Mechanical engineers. Instrumentation is electronics, testing& controls. Automotive engineering is a specialized area by itself. Biomedical engineering is s specialized field with its own degree. Prosthetic design is not mechanical engineering specific. HVAC is a specialized area common to more than one major. Generally two year associate degree is enough in this field. Mechanical Engineers should pick up their study plan based on interest & established specialized areas in the industry. Specialized areas include: Power plant thermal & mechanical design, mechanical production & industrial engineering, mechanical & machinery design, drawings, vibrations & stress analysis . Pipeline & storage tank & pressures vessel engineering u learn at job. Most of it is drawings. 2 years college degree is more than enough to make those drawings & design. Metallurgy Engineers know more about steel & heat treatment of steel & properties. Never keep it generalized or end up like a rolling stone. The job should not drive your career path, your interest & specialized area should drive your career & the jobs u take . As an example, a Physician knows he or she will be fixing people & their diseases on day 1. One who is learning to fly knows what he or she is going to do. Focus is the most important thing in life. Mechanical Engineering takes away that focus if u do not plan it before u enter the college. It is true ME make good money if they are focused in a specialized field from the beginning.

[@ScottyDMcom]

Zach, new subscriber here and I decided to go back and watch your early videos. I am a semi-retired electrical engineer. Back in the day I worked at a series of Silicon Valley startups creating the next best thing in disk drives. It's a tight-knit community of competing companies where one might have the leading expert in actuator design (who also consults for all the other companies), another might have the leading expert in surface fluid mechanics (who also consults for all the other companies), etc. Anyway, disk drives require talented mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, some of whom can also fake it in manufacturability (startups have small teams). I started as an electronics technician (ASET in '75), saw the amazing talent of an EE who _really_ knew his stuff, then completed my BSEE in '89. Classes were easy to focus on because I knew the application and it was something I really wanted to know.

5-6 years ago I posted as an undergrad of ME. that this video motivated me, because it showed me all the potential fields that I can work in and that drove me forwards. Now, after all these years, I finished my degree (with a lot of sweat and tears) and even changed my profession to computer science. The following text is off topic and intended for all the people that share the same feeling of failure and insecurity towards their life like I did: During my university years and after my graduation, I worked in several fields of ME, like manufacturing, simulation and material modelling and even in the yearly cars inspection branch in ME (TÜV in Germany) and throughout the years, I couldn't find THE right field for me to work in. They were interesting and all, but nothing for me to stay in forever. After a long time of thinking about it and talking it through with my family, I changed my profession for computer science, because this became my passion (over the years) and I didn't want to work in a field I did not enjoy as much as CS. Throughout all these years, my life was full of doubt and regret, because I this was my path to victory in a nutshell: 1. Do your B. Sc. in ME and you'll be happy 2. Do your M. Sc. in ME and you'll be happy 3. Get a job as Engineer or get a Phd in ME and you'll be happy These were my life goals and now I can see that they are flawed, but back then I couldn't see that. And this made me miserable, because I felt that my life was going in a wrong direction, but I couldn't pinpoint it. I started to be ashamed for my ME degree, because it seemed like a failure to me, because I had it, but didn't want to work in this profession anymore. At some point I chose to start my CS degree and I was worried all over again. Was it the right choice? Do I really have to do it all over again? What, if I'm too old for that now? I felt, that I can't finish a simple thing and I kept going through the motions just to verify to myself that I am still going towards ANY goal, not sure what it was, but I could not stand still and reflect and ask big questions about the trajectory of my life, because I was afraid of what I would uncover. It took a lot of time, a lot of talking to my partner and my family and a lot life experience to understand it all and work through it. Now, I'm 29, and I don't see my degree in ME as badge of dishonor, but rather an accomplishment and I am working on my second degree (in CS). I'm lucky that I now also work part time in a software engineering company to hone my skills and learn as much as I can, because I really enjoy it. I am way calmer now than I was 8 years ago, because I feel like I know where (approximately) I want to be in life. I am confident that I can achieve anything I want, if I set my mind on it. I'm not afraid anymore to start over again, if life makes me do. This is a short summary of a lost duck that found its way back to a path it can follow for a while. If you feel/felt the same way, the same insecurity, I hope this helped you in any way, shape or form. It took me a long time to realize that all choices I did and did not make, brought me here in the end to this very point. I cannot say, how my life will be in 10 years from now and that I will never be stuck again, but I am confident (and less anxious) that I will deal with whatever life throws at me. If you have a passion for ME, please don't misunderstand my post as a rant towards ME. I loved it for years and enjoyed so much from it. And I have in the recent years found out, that my interest in renewable energies has grown and that I might pick up my studies or work as an engineer in the fields of renewable energy in the future (of course after my CS degree and some productive years as a software engineer :) ) I hope you all have a fantastic day and happy studies.

​@@thesinister7676 Hi :) Well, this is a common theme I hear a lot of times. It's true that ME is a maths heavy subject, but I would say it's definitely doable. I wasn't good at maths either, but in university I suddenly got really interested in all maths subjects and this helped tremendously to learn all that stuff and pass my exams (and now maths-related subjects are among my favorites). Therefore, I bet you can do it and probably even excel in your degree, if you can motivate yourself to study :) I hope this helped P.S. The stress is partly immense that's true and everyone who tells you otherwise is either super smart or lying. But again, it's doable and with some efficient study techniques it's easier than one might think. Thomas Frank made has a lot of great videos on study tips and tricks to excel in college!
