2nd year aerospace engineer...with a procrastination issue...and i'm in 3 clubs for some reason... yeah i survive purely off dunkin and frozen dinners. all these memes are 100% accurate.

And now the cherry on top of the cherry: You won't need 95% of what you learned anyway. You just don't know what 5% you actually will need and you have to learn just as much as you have learned in university within the first year in a real job.

Becoming an engineer so far is both incredibly painful, and deeply satisfying. Ironically now that I'm actually doing some engineering work, its not even in my major. But hey, every day is one day closer to that fancy piece of paper.

the actual pain is when you are studying something else and also trying to learn engineering yourself; university is gonna make you age like broken egg

Mechanical Engineer, 30 years experience, looking to retire soon. School was the first march through hell that I enjoyed, thought that I was a masochist. Turns out it was great training for what was to come. Would not have had it any other way!!

Bro. In the math topics you forgot a lot: * Complex numbers * Fourier and Laplace transformations * Non rectangular coordinate systems * Path, loop, and flux integrals * Linearisation of non linear systems of differential equations. * Geometric algebra * Sums and convergence of infinite series * Vector field operations * Many more that I can't list off of the top of my head.

1968 Graduate in Aerospace Engineering and I love the memes. Yes, school is hard, but it is worth it. Although there is a lot that you end up not using, you don't know until you are using it. The big thing is that you are learning to think and to figure things out. It is the best job out there....as long as you can get rid of some of the bosses!

Watching these knowing I will get fuckked in September when my study starts at the ETH……

I think all that was done to prepare us to our future work - deadlines are fucking unbelieveable, tasks are often not even understandable let alone sometimes even making any sort of sense. So you learn not only to do calculations, like strenght calculation, but you also learn how to bypass all that shit, that you can't handle yourself. Guess who advanced in electronics, while was studying fucking road engineering? Yep, me - got to fucking solder myself a god damn micro-earphone to pass exam in mathematics. I could think of few more examples of same sort - making people believe you've done your work in time and convincing them to check it, to buy you some time to actually finish it and smuggle it on those people desks. And, by the way, now I'm no road engineer - I'm fucking designer engie, trying to sort plans and drawings for children playground equipment, so that they meet the requirements of all the standards and other stuff. Sometimes managers come to me with orders from people, that kinda look like : "So yeah, there's that playgrond thing, that other company makes, we want your company to do this thing, with minor changes. Yeah, changes include making this shit 10 times bigger, while still keeping all of it in the same dimensions. Oh, yeah, I've also had this dream last night - let's make floor decking on it from a cheese graters, though make it safe for the kids, but also keep the cheese grating capabilities at normal level." Welp, you gotta do, what you gotta do.

I'm finishing my chemistry bachelor this year and entering a chemical engineering masters next year. still can relate to some of the memes

I’m old school engineering. When I started it was only a calculator and a pencil for everything - and the professors thought having the calculator was an abomination. Engineering Physics 1 was held in an auditorium and there were 50 or so students at the start, 15 to 20 of us left by the end. 70% was passing, 60% you could take the class again. Below 60%, you we’re strongly advised to find another career - in no uncertain terms. Attendance was taken - miss too many classes - failed, no matter how you did on tests. Show up “not properly dressed” - kicked out of class. Exams: 7 to 8 questions, blue book, 2 hour limit, handwritten, getting all the correct answers didn’t guarantee you would pass-if you don’t show your work or explain why you did something in enough detail- MAJOR points off. Group projects were hell, mainly because multiple people on your team would drop out and their work got redistributed to the survivors. Prof office hours were rare and tutoring was a must. Algebra, Trig, Analytical Geo, engineering Calc 1 pre-reqs to class. No microwaves to quickly cook food, so you ate a billion calories once per day at the cafeteria. And yeah, all the engineering buildings were at opposite ends of the campus from the dorms and the library. No internet or KZfaq. Just a book with no answer section, only the professors had the answer book. Girls back then wanted jocks not nerds. Engineering nerds kept a low profile. It seems like it’s just as tough being an engineering student theses days as back then, just in different ways…

the thing i hate more is the weird feeling of silent chaos going on, i constantly feel like there i chaos that i dont see or know about, nothing is given simply so you have the sound screaming at the back of your head telling you that you might have missed something. idk how to explain it better but u feel people here gonna understand lol.

As a Civil Engineer this is 101% accurate trust me

And I thought just my school has stupid deadlines and exam dates.... Well, I'm currently enjoying my 10 mins of free time on Sunday.

When I was in school, Engineering was about staying ahead of the curve. That was where the real stress was.

I don't remember very well the struggles I had with university past the point of crying at home due to not being able to comprehend what I now see as basic linear algebra. At the same time, I know I must have had those struggles, so maybe I found a way to repress those memories to a scary degree. I do consider myself happy and with a good career in engineering presently, but university was (must have been?) rough.

Ahhh, the memories. Engineering school, you would not wish it upon your worst enemy, nor would you do anything else, for the world. Q: Why do engineering students have so many hours of lectures? A: They have to sleep some time.

3:30-That's what mistake engineering students do! The shit nutrition and lack of sleep will make your energy drop,which will make you learn at a slower pace,which will make you need to work even harder,which will force you to lose even more sleep! Better make sleep and nutrition priorities,even if you struggle! Even in extreme circumstances,8 hours of sleep with 16 hours of work are more productive than 4 hours of sleep with 20 hours of work!

Omg that is accurate! I study civilenginering in computer science and exactly the same math you mentioned in the beggining is what I have to study on during the summer holiday because I failed my first examination 😭

im doing a double major in electrical and software engineering. man i realised after a few classes that i dug my own grave.

As a comp sci major i can totally understand everything you went throu with! The linear algebra is still tountinf me in my sleep, or what i like to call "unconsciouse moments at 3am because i didn't finish my assingments just yet"

The worse part is that, somebody always says: “yeah, but you chose it yourself” . I HATE those people 😀

As someone who is not very social, i appreciate that i mainly had to balance only school and sleep so far and i appreciate any problem that can be solved with logic and maths instead of remembering a bunch of stuff. I cannot express in words how much i rather do maths, technical mechanics, programming, thermodynamics and stuff like that instead of anything remotely social studies related.

Loved this video because it's soooo accurate🤣 70th follower!!

Software/Comouter Eng. are a bit of an exception because you can learn a lot of stuff outside and before Uni. And it makes the programming classes a breeze in general (science and math still tough tho)

I'm a software engineer. My home was 4th floor of the campus. Commuting just takes too much time. And I had nice roommates.

While I'll agree engineering programs difficult, and I do think it's great that the comment section here is having a good time coping/meming together. From experience it is possible to achieve the three way balance (although not perfectly, it's going to look more, like a radar graph, but you don't necessarily have to pick 2 drop 1) from experience, I managed to do so and had a part time job on top of my responsibilities in school.

Last year I worked as ASM at a theatre, and before each rehearsal they would ask how people were feeling. One person said that they had an assignment due, and an in class quiz that week (and one other thing that I have since forgotten), so they were working through the stress. I had 3 exams 12 assignments and 3 labs due that week, and went to bed at 2:30 that night to wake up at 5:00. Fun times.

I sure remember going through all that. One example, had a Tuesday/Thursday class that was a core course in the major. The Thursday homework wasn't as bad because you had the weekend. The Tuesday homework however you started working on it, noodling on it in your head from the moment you got the assignment. The rest of Tuesday and all day Wednesday you worked on the homework, calling it a day both days at 3:30AM, or whenever you just couldn't stay up any longer. Thursday morning you hopefully had it close enough to done that you could finish it in the bits of time before it was due. Your reward for that was up to 10 points. Not very much compared to the 200 point midterm and the 200 point final. But as grading was straight 90/80/70/60 and you needed an 80% to continue in the program so you grasped every point like a drowning man grasping at a rope. Students came in dumb and happy and came out the other end as engineers and grumpy as h***. And if you asked them at graduation if it was worth it almost every one of the would say yes, then tell you to get the f out of their way because they were going to take a nap for a week - maybe two.

And that's why you min max the shit out of assignments and preparing for exams. For example the fun part was one when prof gave info from what he made the exam. It was "merely" 58 pages of A4 text and some pictures. And that's half of the info for the whole course. The other half was for the midterms we done before.

having done high school in Texas and doing the college work online in a different state, the minimum passaging grade dropping from a 75 to a 60 has been really nice. online classes really cut down the unexpected assignments a lot because most teachers have their whole class, assignments and all, pasted over from last semester. everything else is true.

working with other engineering students, groups, professor, tutor etc. is what gets u thru

I remember the first 15 minutes of calculus l freshman-year of college. I have to relive that overwhelming sense of dread of realizing how much I don't know. man makes me feel better knowing it was not just me . I'm not the only lol

Underrated channel

Just finished my sophomore year whilst barely passing and this is fucking accurate.

i loved the formula at 5:50 LMAO

I was a CS major, so similar story. But I knew my math class was gonna be hard when I saw the professors grading scale. 50% was a C. I almost didn't get 50%. By far the toughest class I'd ever taken. Turns out I got the prof on his first year teaching at our school. He now has a reputation as the hardest math prof for that class.

Those Linear Algebra topics giving major PTSD

really good guy continue like that

Only to find out... at the end... or during master's degree or during work that...well...those 3 courses filled with math that even Satan hides from you plowed trough doped up on caffeine... those are handled automatically by some software...

Watched this video while making my coffee to continue studying

Brilliant and so true!

You know I wish I’d done engineering. Cause then I’d actually have the motivation to... “self delete.”

1:45 aerospace engineering student from Slovakia here... our first semester math course was just limits, derivatives and maybe matrices (Idk if those were in the first or 2nd semester) and the next semester was about integrals plus we were told something called a Laplace transform exists. That's it. That was all the maths classes we got.

F*** yeah baby, bring it.

Ik watching this while eating leftovers for breakfast with an energy drink in my hand before going to my applied differential equations 2 class with a constant supply of quizzes and midterms happening in the next week... I'm feeling a little called out here

My school required average 75% on your major classes to graduate, and if one of your major class is below c-, you can't graduate. Also! I have not use any of my school experience in my 10 years engineer career. 😂

Going through my first semester as an architect, bet gonna be feeling the same in a couple of months.

This man knows what he is talking about (currently on my second master engineering degree) BUT I DON'T HAVE GROUP ASSIGNTMENTS, YAY!

"This is way too much work" Teacher: "No, i calculated it. This is only 99% to the breaking point."

what i remember is in high school you cover maybe 3 - 5 pages of the textbook. in university it's 30 - 50 pages per lecture and usually at least 3 lectures/ week and tutorials where there was an assignment and test every week. those tests were 10 % of your grade. then midterms and finals was the rest.

Bro the image he showed at 6:21 was literally a picture of an upper year schedule of my engineering program at my school next year💀

Now im scared and i didnt even start LMAO

Lol The first meme is Bogard Hall the main engineering building at Louisiana Tech.

Feel your pain. At this point I don't know what sleep is

Jokes on you, I got through my engineering degree without needing coffee. Completely failed to get an internship in the time, though, so still applying with some faint hope that my grades and personal projects will be enough to get something small

Graduated this year and seeing this video just gave me ptsd😂😂

Bravo👏🏼👏🏽💯

Late to the party it seems, wish the algo had recommended you sooner! Liked and subbed, ofc.

Hahah the 3 lectures behing thing is so true

Bro said matrix algebra and I had a damn stroke. I hate crossword math.

Can confirm, that's accurate

All exams in 1 week hit too close to home

Just completed my assignment and it's 2AM. Can't believe I did it so early. Usually it goes on till 4-5 AM and then I go to university with just 3-4 hours of sleep (That's no joke). The only thing I remember from my first sem maths was Eigen Values and Eigen Vectors cuz it was fun doing that, the rest I somehow did it and forgot.

I can’t stop laughing. Everything is so true !

1980 graduate in chemical engineering. Completed a PhD in ChemE five years later. I always like school, and it was very difficult, but with lots of discipline, you can do it. I had to work constantly. Weekends was when I caught up, and worked all day Saturday and Sunday. I had a very limited social life.

The funny thing is that the bachelors degree was actually pretty easy in retroperspective. Difficulties began with when attending to the advanced courses of masters degree

i'm surprised that alcohol isnt in this video, i spend the majority of the semester drunk

Sounds like my med studies LMAO

I am an engineering student, the real stress comes from the fact that you need to graduate with a mental gpa and some work experience. Otherwise, there is a chance you will get a nonsense job in a small company.

Add being part of formula student to that.

I, as an engineer, think that the vrazy laugh says it all 😂 I always know how bad it is, if someone just starts laughing 😂 That applies for university, exams, classes, homework, as well as in the job later on, where projects are always late and everyone has 200 unread emails 😂😂

At min 2 your math description sounds like highschool to me...

This blew up bro lol. EE graduated with 2.89 couple weeks ago. This 100% true. Ptsd for sure

Outside the US, people usually opt to take one to two extra years and enjoy a social life and/or sleep during this period. That is of course with 2k a year instead of the 40k a year in the US

Just to see I have the check list right: 1. Intense coursework that could make even Issac newton regret inventing calculus. 2. Irrational assignment and test dates that are impossible to keep up with. 3. Garunteed caffeine addiction and clynically diagnosed insomnia. 4. Master of time organization. 5. Required to be either a sadist or masochist. Yep that checks it, i think engineering is the course for me.

I never knew other majors didn't have all their exams in one week. Stevens had a special treat for Freshmen. Since they didn't want to disrupt the arc of our learning experience, all freshmen tests that were not midterms or finals took place at Zero Hour. You know, look at your schedule and there were 9 periods during the day, starting at the relatively benign hour of 8:50am (Hour One). Zero Hour? You guessed it, started at 7:50am. Of course, this was...a while ago. A long while ago.

That’s why you take AP classes (if you can’t afford them or high school doesn’t offer them, get college credit through CLEP exams or community college) That means you can take less credits and make college easier

so accurate

Been there. Done all that with a wife and a kid. Retired now with the same wife. Wouldn't change any of it. Loved that I did it. Love that I am now retired and don't have to do it any more.

As an engineering student the memes r so fkn accurate

I am nearing my final semester at university for Electrical Engineering. I can only describe it as internally screaming and crawling my way to graduation. Hopefully I don't sleep through graduation

this is every STEM course.

All very true 😂. But now that I am almost through with my first year of master's in mechatronics, I must admit that so far, I have never had to pull an all-nighter 😀. I guess it helps that where I study now and have studied before I have more flexibility with my exam dates.

Oh Lord so true

I can see you skilfully avoided talking about Adderall.

Senior in Mechanical engineering, it really isn't bad if you stay on top of your assignments. Chegg was extremely helpful, get the homework done then go back and study it later. Also reading the textbooks for the class is literally a cheat code and it makes every class twice as easy. The social life, sleep, school thing is also overrated. Once you get the hang of it, you can have all three, and I'm saying that with a part-time job as well. While I'd say it's one of the hardest majors in college, It's really not hard lol

I can’t wait till I get in uni 😂

I'm studying Aerospace in 4th semester and yes, I'm quite behind on the subjects, but notging I can't fix until the exam, also I participated a lot a a student group, and I get 7.5-9h of sleep every night (and do sports)

engineering = caffeine + caffeine + caffeine because caffeine, caffeine caffeine (pls help)

Now, work 35 hrs/week to pay for school/living expenses while in the program. Social life wasn’t an option, it was replaced with survival skills.

The most time i have been without sleep in one week was 604,790 seconds

I want to say no but it's true. You cannot have all three aspects without sacrificing other 😂.

Man said Matric algebra and I didn't wanna even listen anymore. Still thinking about how I just finished my first semester and I still don't know how matrices work.😭

Aero here. Yo you started on linear algebra with matrixes God help you, and yes sleep is optional.

as a medical student we are in the same box unfortunately

I'm currently 1st year mechanical engineering, and f*** I'm already feeling the stress. How am I gonna survive 4 years 💀💀💀

60?!? We need a 70 average!

there's no lie here

Is this for all engineering students internationally, or just those in a specific country?
