In this video, I show you what mechanical design engineers or product design engineers do on a daily basis to create the awesome or garbage products around us. Like humans, products have their own lifecycles and, it's our job to take a product from conceptualization to mass production leveraging the product development process. Even if you're not an engineer, this video shows you how products are developed and make it to store shelves!

Most people have little understanding of what engineering actually is. Engineers have to combine scientific and mathematical knowledge with pragmatic, practical solutions whilst applying commercial acumen. Engineering is a very demanding high paced profession that requires a strong intellect, inventiveness, acute concentration and consistent attention to detail. Engineers apply standards of professionalism to their work that is rarely matched by by other professionals.

@@MisterBinx Good for you! A CAD model is essentially a platonic ideal, while 2D detail drawings are often what suppliers/vendors work with to produce individual real-world components. As such, these drawings essentially become legal documents which define terms of a contract. It's in everyone's interest to minimize confusion/ambiguity and ASME Y14.5 is the most comprehensive standard for this. Learning it is akin to acquiring a language. Once fluent, design intent can be communicated precisely and efficiently. Good luck to you!

So I went to graduate school and got a masters in data analytics and now work as a data engineer 🎉🎉 , the job pays significantly more and I find it more enjoyable too. It sure beats studying for the CPA haha that’s for sure. I guess the only pros I see in accounting is that the field has much more job security as there is an accounting shortage especially with recent college graduates. There’s more CPAs retiring than new ones coming in , I wonder what the profession is going to do about in a decade or so, when it really starts being problematic.

Definitely had a similar experience in my career. I've worked at a handful of engineering companies in product design and the common denominator is that the majority of my engineering time is spent on manufacturability. Knowing in-house capabilities, knowing supplier capabilities and designing the product using that knowledge to meet requirements. Depending on the size of company and production turnover there's a varying emphasis on cost control, how stressful the deadlines are and how much administrative BS there is. Hands-on prototyping in the workshop is what I consider the fun part and paperwork (or meetings where nobody takes responsibility) is the least fun.

@EngineeringGoneWild Жыл бұрын

Definitely agree with you! Meetings are the worst and prototyping is always a blast 💯

@peteroleary9447 Жыл бұрын

Agree. Cpk tests for manufacturability often reflect wishful thinking rather than capability and cost. I think physical (not just fe) modeling of concepts should be considered a discreet step in design, before prototyping, and design engineers should gain experience with this _and_ on the shop floor.

Very interesting video. Interesting using an iPhone as an example For the people in the comments who are in their first years of school or aren't yet in school for ME I recommend joining clubs such as student racing teams. I joined one of those and even though I didn't give everything I could've given to it, there are some experiences I'd taken for granted that apparently are not that common, such as FMEA analysis, and other things you just don't learn in class, like talking to suppliers, talking to people from other disciplines, talking about money... I specifically say "student racing teams" because the one I was a part of had an "industrialization" component of the project, even though you worked on a physical prototype, you were supposed to think about it with this industrial-production mindset. Some other competitions like robotics etc may differ a bit but they're probably a good idea too.

High voltage electrical power engineer here with about 20 years experience - the quoted salary is more for an experienced engineer. Engineering itself is high stress and high liability. Work load is high and no one but you and your fellow engineers understand the complexity and consequences of the work you do. Your MBA and accountant management tell you how slow you are and how much you overspent. But if a catastrophic incident happens, you will be the one responsible. Switched to project management, best career move ever. All careers need hard work and endure some level of risk. Medicine pays 5 times higher.

Would you recommend pharmacy over engineering?

@mbe55itb 4 ай бұрын

LOL My wife is a pharmacist. She completed her doctorate 20+ years ago and now practices in clinical pharmacy. The nature of work is very different to engineering. Scope of practice is well defined and solutions are established, regulated, and repeatable in daily work. Consequences of mistakes can be severe but generally not catastrophic (death of a patient). The schooling of pharmacy is memory based and trains to follow guidelines and instructions as with most professions in healthcare. Engineering requires the understanding of core physics and technical fundamentals, and then promotes the creative application of these fundamentals. In other words, pharmacy requires one to put in the hours to study. Engineering can be understood with little studying if you just “get it”. But if you don’t, you can spend weeks and months studying and you still fail. Work life balance is variable for both careers depending where you end up. Salaries are comparable. Both careers require team work (peer to peer) and counselling skills (end user/patient). Hope this sheds a bit of light.

@mbe55itb 4 ай бұрын

One supplemental point - an engineer’s reward to doing a good job is that the design is built and “it works”. You can pat your self on the back. “No news is good news” because your end users just expect your build or product to WORK. In clinical pharmacy, if you help with the health care of your patient, they will be very thankful. In retail pharmacy, maybe less because you do not get to know the patient.

hi all, i have a little story about my career path 😭 i majored in mechanical engineering. i knew that this major is great, and expensive skillset to have. but i believe that it still depends on the university. unfortunately my campus is trash, lack of facility, lazy professors, negative social environments. (indonesia's middle-to-low-level campus are lagging behind) so i was kind of lost. in the middle of my study, i self-taught computer science, coding, anything between it. now i'm doing an internship in an IT company without my campus knowing it. i'm glad to found this video, because some part of me still wanting to be a mechanical engineer, because since in high school, i love math and physics. but when i compare myself with my mechanical engineering friends from other campus (better & expensive), i notice that my campus curriculum missed like many major components. is it a good idea if i go to college again in the future, majoring in mechanical engineering? or can i just adopt my IT self-taught method, and looking for an internship and hopefully have a career in this field? sorry for my bad english. thank you 🙏

Everything is in books. You don't even need to go to college if you can read and understand. Am sure there are self taught mechanical engineers.

Hi dude I have some doubt according to the fea analysis, In this analysis for an object(Electrical flying object) how can we analysis the object like full assemble or half an assemble???

@deepak_nigwal 7 ай бұрын

comsol multiphysics for full assembly, or subroutines using Abaqus for partial assemblies; all depending upon what kind of physics you are capturing, and what boundary conditions you are assuming. if not, all can still be done in Simcenter or Ansys Mechanical

With such processes...this is the reason Iphone loyalists suffer from design permanence and lack of innovation. Code is easier to write for them than hardware creation.

I think it's a good investment If you can afford the $100. It includes everything a mechanical engineer needs to know
