That is not an uncommon assumption! I thought the same thing in early high school and when I tell people now that I studied electrical engineering they often mix that up with electrician.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

TheBadSalesman honestly I'm not even kidding when I say I am dead sick of those type of comments. I told my classmates that I wanted to study Mechanical Engineering and they burst out laughing that I'm going to become a mechanic. My mom went 'I forbid that in the name of God. It is not your portion' like????

My cousin started talking about electrician opportunities. Lol

lmaooo

Justin Baker good luck bro ...I'm am also similar and now heading for engineering ✌

Thanks same to you. Be prepared for a lot of hours of studying.

Justin Baker good job💯

Justin Baker bro which engineering are you studying ?and in which country and which uni ?

Sulav Thapa Mechanical at USF in the USA.

Hey man, your text give me hope to learn math.

Thank you... That gave me hope

✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿

This comment gave me hope man. I'm 25 and am looking to catch a fall semester in mechanical engineering later this year in 2020. My math skills took a big L but I'm slowly relearning the concepts so I can place and take CLEP. Thanks for posting.

Thank you I will be going back at 28 as well

Martin Liza sounds like you are smart, though. Physics is tough

Bro. You have to be smart. You are clearly very intelligent.

I'm 4 years in and the only reason I've made it this far is because I am stubborn as hell!

I dont know what it was about Chemistry but I still suck at it.

Just because you had overcome the "I'm not good in Maths" obstacles doesn't mean EVERYONE can do the same. And for these reasons I hate some Engineers, they have way toooo pride.

Lol

I watch Phineas and Ferb I think I'm ahead of everyone

Same

God I hope this is a joke

pepe hdez hdez I watch Jimmy Neutron you all have nothing on me 🙂

Vengeance LOL

How did you do it Bro?

Cap

You Batman?

That’s good to hear

Chin Chin can you give an update?

@@nolanhays4668 I'm still in the trenches m8. I've seen more of people drop out of the courses I'm in. I'm just trying to make it to my summer courses at the moment

Chin Chin hey! I would love to hear an update if anything happens in the future!

What’s the update

Hang in there , don’t give up. Continue to put in the hours and think of it as a game of the last man standing. Imagine how satisfying it will be to cross that line at the end of the race. 🙂🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏾

Very homosexuel

Bjarke Erichsen homiesexual

Me too

Doing my first year of mechanical engineering, let me tell you that it's the perfect place to become better.

That is exactly the attitude that you need to have going into engineering. And you will definitely have the opportunity to study it and get better, so go for it!

You should be studying for your finals not watching youtube videos Source: I'm also in second year mechanical

Hey man! How's your 3rd year going?

hows it going?

Good luck bro same here.

Dont ever quit,...

Quit being a bitch, double down and do it.

HAHAHAHA i love you justin

moonaka2 ;)

No shame in folding. 65% attrition rate and 120K student debt is not worth doubling down on.

sampurna ghimire nah dude dont worry. We all get those even if it doesnt show. Like others said, double down, push through, and take what you can and make it what you want it to be.

Or do what Barren Buffett did; if you get rich in the long run, you will be able to make a lot of things. But you don't really create anything with your hands/mind.

deadmanw@lk1ng Everyone makes some level of difference and everyone is (to some degree) afraid of failure (in the direct sense). So in keeping your comment but trimming or editing it from my perspective: if you desire to cause significant difference(s) in the world, 'create awesome shit' (in a more involved, hands/'minds-on' way, rather than, e.g., funding efforts and projects for such, which seems to be what someone like W. Buffet would be more strictly able to do), you understand the practicality that substantial success almost inevitably requires some failure, and you do demonstrate an ability to work hard...then engineering _may_ be a good decision for you. An imperfect, but probabilistically viable generality (in my opinion, of course).

Yoshi2000 What about Elon Musk's Tesla company (which, at least in regards to electric automobiles and through manufacturing and facilitation of solar panel products, appears to have a constructive relation to more renewable and efficient energy technologies in industry)? Seems a potentially more applicable example to reference...

Analytical Sentient // Alan's Vlog Well, it is a better example, but Tesla hasn't yet made more money than what it loses (not native speaker, so I'd be glad to know if this sentence is correct). It is changing the world, though, like SpaceX.

The vast majority of them won't do anything noteworthy. Just the cream of the crop.

i have an extensive background in lego so i understand i am qualified enough for engeneering

Did you graduate?

Yamour AlObaidi inspiration man

Just because you had overcome the "I'm not good in Maths" obstacles doesn't mean EVERYONE can do the same. And for these reasons I hate some Engineers, they have way toooo pride.

@@hunkwasbisyan007 Actually, everyone can be good at math. In this sense, I'm not talking about becoming a mathematician who has to logically think and prove. Most people, especially engineers use math just as a tool. For that level, you just need to keep practicing, I believe at some point, math is also a repeatitive study in which there's a time you start to understand what's going on with all the formulas and equations. I was also bad at math up until high school. I majored English studies at university, after a year, I dropped out and also studied math and physics at the age of 25. Now I'm in CS, though considering switching to EE.

Sunny Nordström Nope I disagree

Hunk Wasbisyan. Preach, do you think math ability is genetic?

I would love if you can tell me tips on what to focus on in mechanical engineering so I can study in advance🤗

Reading this just motivated me to go on with studying Mechanical Engineering.

@@kenayuda9788 I would highly recommend you familiarize yourself with CAD software! I focused on SolidWorks because my school provided a free license for it, and it is one of the more widely used softwares. This will not necessarily help you with engineering school, but it will definitely help you when you start applying to internships.

@@rickykhangura1167 Best of luck to you!

Yeah, sure. Everyone can do it. Some people can't do it even if they work themselves to death and no matter how much they want. Sick joke, man. Just because you were born smart doesn’t mean everyone is. Some people can't even get admitted to colleges to study engineering.

what if you have always like building things do u think i would be good for engineering?

Im studying both 🤣

Thank God! That's the first honest comment I've read on this video. Everyone else is like I didn't even know how to write then I went to college and "worked hard" and passed with 4.00 CGPA.

How’s it going?

Any news?

@@Wurded I passed physics and finished my first year of engineering with a 3.6 overall gpa. While I could have kept going for an engineering degree, I realized that field wasn’t for me. I switched to Mathematics w/ a double minor in Psychology and Education. I plan to teach Secondary Mathematics for the next few years whilst pursuing my Masters in Health Psychology. My final academic goal is to obtain my PhD in Health Psychology. I got my brain scanned recently, and I’m a right-brained person. Psychology is a top field amongst right-brained individuals. It’s important to know yourself and what field you find the most passion in to avoid burnout in the long run. I’m very happy with my decision because I enjoy teaching and Psychology a lot!

@@lidyasolomon5557 Nice that you found what you like to do and enjoy it

​@@lidyasolomon5557hey dude can you give an update

you do know schools offer foundations classes?

thats my fear with math right now. I have a B in the class with one test left before finals. grrrrr.

how tf you have 4 exams of a single course

Sadly at the really high level, KZfaq videos won't help anymore 😂 Lebesgue measure theory is REALLY tough. This video gave me only a small boost in motivation

hey there, I'm really considering BME, I'm a senior in high-school, could you please share with me your experiences in BME and things that I should know before joining it, Biology and Chem are my favourites but I do well in Physics and Maths too, I don't think coding interests me tho, if you could give me some insight, that would be great 😊. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

@@yashwinnivijayasekar7348 If you like all those subjects, you will not have problems with the first years of BME. In the career orientation at my university, being oriented in nanotechnology, we have both maintenance of medical equipment as well as tissue engineering, and to a lesser extent biomaterials. In any case, don't go crazy looking at the guidelines of the study plans. Graduates from my university work in maintenance of medical equipment, others work in biomaterials, and others in administrative tasks such as regulations, among other disciplines. It really is a career that lets you choose from many options once you have your undergraduate degree. Personally, I have always liked mathematics and biology, to a lesser extent chemistry, and a little physics as well, although I did not have a very good level of physics in high school, and I really enjoyed my university degree. I hope I've helped. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask. I wish you the best.

@@GS-qe3pt it seems very interesting, I never knew that bio and physics could overlap but ever since I found there's such a career like BME and read about it, it fascinated me..YES, I'm super invested in this as I can't pick one career path and was looking for something unique and broad. I've always wanted to apply the theoretical knowledge and I think engineering would be the right fit.. Also I have no interest in coding and in the IT field, but do you think I should give a try and start to learn how to code? H How should I prep myself before starting uni. How much of BIO is there in the course? Sorry for all that questions and thank you so much for taking your time to clear out my doubts, I don't personally know anyone who did BME so this was VERY helpful 😊

@@yashwinnivijayasekar7348 No problem, I will try to answer the best I can. They always try to teach you some programming in IT majors. In my career, I was taught pseudocode (also known as introduction to programming or notions of programming), the C language, and Python for image processing. In addition, there are programs, such as matlab and arduino, that use their own language, although they are usually quite easy to learn. Also, between optional and mandatory, I had to learn some JavaScript and other languages. So, don't worry if you don't like programming (I didn't know anything before entering the career), but you are going to learn all this more focused on the objectives of bioengineering. In my curriculum, 10% is dedicated to pure biologies, another 7% to biomaterials and biomechanics, and 20% to applied technologies, such as nuclear medicine, tissue engineering, etc. I do not have many tips for preparing to enter university, since this varies a lot from country to country, from university to university, and from the personal situation of each one, such as general high school level, hours available to study, etc. In my particular case, I did not have major problems with the content, but with the amount of hours I had to dedicate to the degree, since when I started university, I also had to work in the morning. The only general advice that I can give you in this case, is that you do not want to see this as a sprint race, but as a distance race, and try to enjoy what you are learning. Beyond this, it's hard work and a lot of will.

@@GS-qe3pt THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Truly appreciate your response 🙏🏽, will keep all this in mind, good luck in your future undertakings💖

Why?

I played flight simulator so I think I’d be pretty good at Aerospace Engineering

@@noaho6864 nice

@@noaho6864 well you aren't going to be a pilot this a different thing.

@@taheralabbar9853 but you can learn to build a plane to fly on your own

same

Goddamn it I don’t have any other majors to choose then

Nick Magee If you’re not sure what to study in college, pick up a trade while you figure it out.

@@NickMagee208 Yes you do. I went from engineering to CNC machining and CAD/CAM. It is pretty much engineering without the Calculus or Physics. It requires creativity, problem solving, and only very basic algebra and trigonometry knowledge. Basically, we "make" the parts that engineers "design".

Very true buddy

If you love biology, then biomedical engineering is some thing you can consider choosing.

Thank you for the comment! Really appreciate it :)

I knew a young woman who wanted to go into Dental. After a couple of years in the robotics team she decided to go into engineering. It is not that odd of a combination. There is also biomedical engineering.

@Gladeous I love this and ATLA! Toph is a badass!

No one has ever said that.

An electrical engineer, here. I can't count how many times people said, "Are you going to wire houses?"

Congratulations man! Really happy to hear that. I have one more hear of highschool before applying to college. Can't imagine how good it must be knowing you got accepted. Hope I will too

Congrats Sidney!! That’s awesome to hear and is definitely a great feeling once you get in somewhere.

octavia popescu It's an awesome feeling dude. Study hard, wishing you all the best!!!

MajorPrep Total, just knowing I really have a chance to do Mechanical Engineering is really really awesome!!!! I don't have to dream about it. I can legit do it! I'm so happy!

@@zachstar I have a question I'm a senior in high school and I'm very close to picking my major. I want to pursue computer engineering but I took a computer science class last year where we coded in java up to sorts and algorithms. I didnt try my hardest and wasnt fully focused at the time so I didnt do my best so i feel like i will be bad at programming. Should I still pursue computer engineering and give the programming aspect a second shot?

Hi, when you apply for a job, they will take a look at your institution yeah, but what matters mostly is you. If you're good at what you do, if you have a good CV you'll get hired no matter where you graduated from. Just imagine how costly it would be for a company to hire people from prestigious universities and these people turned out to be donkies. So just be good at your discipline and all will go well don't worry :).

how is 78% a C though?

sp00ky sk3l3t0r 90-100 =A 80-89 = B 70-79 = C 60-69 = D _

Is this system used for uni as well or just high school?

sp00ky sk3l3t0r That is the system my college uses

sp00ky sk3l3t0r Oregon Institute of Technology is my college if you're interested

You should go for it!

Why are you too old? Us elderly folk have intelligence, calmness and practicality. We don't dash off like unfunded rabbits after every halfbaked new idea, and we have reserves of money, support networks and shortcuts. When I was staying back studying after hours last year (63, doing cert 2 electrical) lecturers would come and say hi, would offer to help if I was stuck, would discuss their projects and how their classes were going, and treated me as an equal. Not surprising as every other student was between 17 and 25, and dashed off home as soon as classes ended. I got a lot out of that course, because I gave it my time and attention, and the lecturers appreciated that. Go forth and conquer, young man!

Do you have a link to the free pdf online?

I feel you! I really love drawing and playing the flute, but I know that these careers aren't very successful in today's society, so I made the decision to pursue either civil or environmental engineering. What kind of engineering are you going to study?

Angel Antayhua same here angel! You can do it 🤗

Then prepare to get disappointed, there are literally tons of people who are better at everything than you. You wouldn't make a splash. Speaking from personal experience.

duona chen Yeah I know, still doesn't change how I feel.

duona chen What is 'a splash'? Virtually everyone inevitably impacts the world; it's just more difficult to do so in a positive (and more so, in a significantly positive) way. Optimism bias is detrimental, but assumptive futilism can be just as destructive.

Yeah same but find something you are the best at and GO !

In the library, where did ya think?

Watching this as procrastination

Library!
