If you are finding a job and reading this, please do exactly what this guy said, I did the same thing and found a job that I like and pays well almost immediately. This video is pure gold, I can’t thank him enough.

I am satisfied that I discovered this channel, the insightful commentary on engineering is beneficial, listening to other amateur and professional engineers helps provide a solid understanding. My Grandpa is my only family member in the engineering field, and I could only receive so much insight from him, since he worked for the government as a Civil Engineer most of his life and is now retired.

I really wished that I knew about this before I took my majors back in my undergrad. Instead of finishing the projects assigned by my professors with the mindset of wanting to get it out of the way, I could've taken a different approach in completing those projects so that they are "portfolio-worthy".

What do you think about a Google drive document for a portfolio. I think it's the most versatile way to share work because it hast eh ability to add all kinds of photos, files and other documents with ease. Should I also add my past projects to it that don't necessarily reflect my mechanical engineering skills like a diy chess set, a forest watchtower, a diy viking shield?

@user-wr8yg8ix6r 2 жыл бұрын

As a third year mech engineering student, yes but rarely. For instance, you're not expected to memorize 100+ diffrential equations in heat transfer, you're supposed to understand them, know when and how to use them, and be practical with them thus a formula sheet is provided. But other subjects like dynamics or mechanics of materials, you're supposed to memorize all equations as they give you a sense and basis of how materials and objects move/fail.
