English is not your first language? That's surprising because I think your speaking is perfectly fine

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell.

I'm 28 years old and seriously considering going back to school to study engineering. I feel old and embarrassed about starting all over again but the business degree I got when I was 22 has proved to be useless and unfulfilling. Not to mention drowned me in student debt. Anyway, thank you for this video and I hope everyone is having a good day

Engineering is a beat down. You really start to get a feeling that math and problem solving are your life and that you'll have to know so many different things to be successful. You can't learn everything and people forget things over time so what is working like as an engineer? Extremely specialized team oriented tasks? Working in the real world is scarier than school to me, especially with people's lives at risk potentially.

This. This is the type of person I need to be around when I get to UNI

With every video of yours I watch, the more I’m convinced with my plan to major in mechanical engineering. Thank you!

Late comment but I so agree with you on "if you don't get it then keep trying until you get it" mentality. I did jewelery design in college, and in the beginning I sucked at soldering. I just did not get it and couldn't get projects done on time. But then I practiced and practiced until I became really good and started enjoy doing it. By the end of the year I was soldering really intricate designs and made a ring with over 50 solder joints on it.

You are truly an inspiration to me. I am on my second year of university in Italy, modern languages, and I’ve realized that it isn’t my path. Although I am “built” for languages, because I naturally understand the mechanism behind a language - while others may need a bit more - I still feel like it is not my field. I aim to finish this year, and hopefully start all over with engineering. At 21 yo. Maybe I am being too “romantic” but I adore the idea that engineering can give you an unique insight of our world and how we can make it a better place. I mean, I am amazed and I often find myself thinking “Wow, how this has been made? How it works?”. The only reason I never had the courage to peruse engineering is the fact that I always underestimated myself and my value. Wish me luck on my future journey, cause I decided to go for mechanical engineering! Oh, and thanks for making such a USEFUL channel, and showing that women can be as good as men in every single field!

I love the “medidating on a concept” saying! You go!🤟🏽🤟🏽!

"Wow" Thank you very for this inspirational message!

Thanks for posting these videos. As someone going back to school for Mechanical Engineering, hearing these things is encouraging. :)

You’re so inspiring and motivational . I’m a huge fan . This my first course in electrical engineering and your videos helped me so much thank you 🙏🏼

Difficulty is relative, if one has no discipline nor motivation and has limited knowledge about the problem than it is indeed difficult, but not imposible. Something being difficult just means you need to put more work to solve a problem.

You're very humble when saying that you are not good at writing, though Your talk in every video is always clear and organisational.

Hi Jess, great informative video. As a newbie to your channel, at the start of watching your video, I was wondering what kind of engineering you were talking about. Glad you explained it. Congrats on hitting 1K too :-)

short answer: *BIG YES*

Currently in my sophomore year, calc 2 was the first class that really pushed me. I had to work very hard but I found it rewarding after I made it through. It was my first B in math class but it felt like the biggest accomplishment for me because of the amount of work I put in.

I've been self-learning c++ and anytime i feel like giving up I just keep trying; feels pretty rewarding honestly and I forgot how much I enjoy it. So it's always nice to hear success stories.

This video is so helpful! I am the same I am really bad at putting my thoughts into words, luckily I love problem solving. I'm a senior in high school going into college for mechanical engineering in the fall, your channel is great and very informative, I feel even better about my decision to go into ME. This channel is great, we need more women in STEM, I went to an accepted students day and there were only TWO other girls in my engineering tour group and about 50 boys!! Keep up the work these videos are great!!

I am a 60-year-old male, and I am seriously considering going back to school to study engineering as well - industrial engineering. Your videos are AWESOME, ENLIGHTENING INDEED. THANK YOU !! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!

Thank You So Much Jess! 😇🤗

Yes, everybody can learn everything, under the right circumstances: 1) stable motivation and priorization with a strong will to learn is needed even when learning consumes more time and/or money as expected. 2) Good learning circumstances: amount of time, information about concepts and details, material for applying with experiments and exercises - material requires access to it or money to buy it. 3) Application of learned lessons and doing something is very important from some point when more things getting more complicated. 4) If learning circumstances change any learning project can slow down - e.g. reduced available time, income.

Thank you so much for this inspirational video! I’m 22, finished my nursing degree in 2022 and even got accepted into med school after 4 years of front line work and learning for the German mcat. Now I reevaluated the reality of being a physician and plan to go into engineering (med tech)

i always wondered about engineering, so this was very interesting to get the inside scoop

Whenever I am losing my motivation to go through everyday I just watch your videos and just push through. Engineering is a fun course tho it has its own difficulties that I have to tackle. The pressure of the future and my responsibilities someday makes me stressed out so watching your videos keeps me on track. I started watching your videos before I went to college now I am on my second year of electronics engineering and I can say you are one of the person I look up to. Like an older sister who gives me advice. Thank youuuu.

You are such an inspiration omg! You're my idol from now on

I’m a second semester ME major and I’m talking an intro course to C++ because it is a pre rec. Lately I’ve been struggling to build assigned programs. I get frustrated easily. Seeing this really motivates me to keep trying so thank you!

I was so surprised English isn’t your first language! This entire time I thought you were American! Amazing. Anyway, your channel is so helpful, thank you for doing this.

10,000 subs now, congrats!

Hey ! I like your content, and I'd like to have your opinion on my situation : I'm currently studying for a business degree but originally my first choice was physics, which I quickly abandoned mainly because of my low math-skills. But now I'm getting better and better at math again (I was very good at math some years ago, and then started sucking at it at some point) and I'm now considering going back to a more STEM field. Moreover, I recently got interested in programming and it's a lot of fun. And anything related to space and rockets is really my biggest turn on since I was a child. Even though I know the math in STEM fields will probably be a lot harder than in a business one. I think software and aerospace engineering would be the 2 most likely to interest me. But damn I often hear that only geniuses can succeed in aerospace engineering (like, that's literally rocket science) and to some extent I still doubt of my capacities so I don't really know... Moreover, the job market in the aerospace industry doesn't look that great, at least for now and the next years. So what's your take on all that, is aerospace engineering really that hard ? PS : English isn't my first language either but I hope you understood everything ;)

You're such an inspiration to me !

I just started studying at Arizona State University and I chose Electrical Engineering for very similar reasons that you chose engineering! I want to be a problem solver and avoid too much creative writing. I think it is very interesting how different subjects suit different people.

I was browsing your video and found it fascinating. I find it interesting that as an engineer such as yourself thinks history is hard. I think history was easy since I have a bachelors in it. Anyway, I stumbled on your video because I have this "what-if" scenario of if I could actually do engineering. I get math concepts, and some are easier to understand than others. But I also thought I might not be that intelligent enough to do engineering. Anyway, thanks for the video.

Before my Materials science lab, so Friday before 12 pm PST (Please)! The more I watch your videos about Engineering, the more I am motivated to continue studying Mechanical Engineering! Keep up the great work! 🚀

Wow! Got an amazing channel before getting to university for my ME. 😍

Hi it is just so related with me that I can’t do writing well (Eng is not my mother language) and i am so excited to start my Engineering journey soon. I am so glad to find out your video even it is this late. Anyway thanks for inspiring me

Welp, you’ve just convinced me. Meditating on problems and analyzing things is in my wheel house

I think it also depends on what kind of work you tend to find hard. Some people find the more conceptually difficult courses tougher, while others find it harder when there's simply a larger amount of things to know. I think I'm more of the latter.

So so so helpful and inspiring thanks a lot💖💖💖

Really, that was helpful

I always watch ur video, im an engeener too. I hope u keep share ur experience fo all women engeener ❤❤

❤️ very inspiring

I am on the same boat as you, I have many difficulties with programming but the thing is, people around me are just unprofessional or not willing to help me get through this thing so I have to understand it myself, if you speak about your way untill you become a good programmer I would really appreciate it.

Its really surprising to me that someone as brilliant as you, who is pursuing one of the most difficult majors in the world would find puny subjects like history or political science difficult! Anyways, great video! You have really beautiful eyes! :D

Just randomly found your video and you gave pretty good advice, are you an engineer or computer science major coding? I’m having trouble picking A major doing research. Thinking about solving problems everyday sounds like it would be overwhelming doing everyday but like you said nothings impossible as long as you keep practicing then getting good at it

0:58 - same here. Abstract words are the hardest concept to learn 😞

No worries

Miss, would you please explain how to analyze physic questions?

1,000 !!!!! yayeeeeeeeeeeeee :) congrats Jess you deserve this !! Excited for you

I understand you.

You are an inspiration to me. I'm still in highscool, but I want to study engineering and when I watch your videos it looks sort of not too difficult to do, I mean, you motivate me to study and to became a hard worker English is not my first language, I speak spanish and sometimes I feel limitated to some things. But when I'm watching your videos, I feel motivated to study languages, physics o or maths, I really don't know how but you change my mind haha thanks for that. I'm 16 years old, by the way. It would be nice if you do videos about study tips or how did you noticed that you want to study engineering :) xoxo

If someone would give me a billion dollars if I can solve a engineering problem I wouldn't even try

I relate so much to this so many people at my highschool love biology and do well in it but it just not interesting at all to me. I love math, physics and chemistry. I feel inferior to them sometimes because I usually get 70s and they get 80s and 90s (btw I'm from Jamaica and the school system is much different here than in North America)

I left mechanical engineering to pursue pre-Med..and seriously..its hard..its more harder when you dont see yourself on doing it 10 years from now and enjoying it

Same here, I am terrible in essay writing even in my 1st language. Solving a differential equations are far easier for me than memorizing the biology terminologies and history. I still remember my 11th grad exams. I studied biology 100 times more than physic and maths. It's totally depends on person's interest. Calculus and electrodynamics are favourite subjects,so electrical engineering is not that hard for me. But still there are some subject which are difficult for most of people like analoge system design, computer architecture. eg. In in final lab exam , no one was able to get correct output from my class. So, engineering is difficult. But if you are ready to challenge your self then every thing is achievable.

One thing that’s obviously extremely important in engineering is mathematics. I’m a reasonably intelligent individual but I don’t have the aptitude for mathematics. I can’t even do long division so that shows just how inept I am at math.

You made a good point.. however I’m good at spanish and history.. and biology and chem and physics.. so I have more than one strength ?🧐

I am very good at creating stories and lay them in a chronological order. I suck at Math and I am going to take Engineering. As per status and earning, that is what people appreciate and nothing else. I am crossing my fingers that I would survive. I hope that I can work hard and at least get through rather than die.

hi thank you for vid ! just got wondered how long do you think you would work on a math problem before you look up solution ? i'm also studying ME and you know we have many classes that are very mathematical and sometimes i spend like hours for just one problem..i started to question myself if it's really productive and efficient way to study lol do you think it's worth the time or should i just look up solution

3rd year comp eng student here, I would say eng is a lot of work and it all comes down how u manage to do the work

What engineering path did you take?

wonder what you wanna become in future!! got any dream company or wanna be researcher.. if so, which part would you like to do research?

That carbon capture class sounds like a dream to me..

Woooow... one thousand subscribers , look it the channel now❤️❤️... 4 month from now I’ll start my first year at mechanical engineering😀❤️ any advice?😂

Where are you studying? Are you studying in Switzerland?

Love the hard work you put in your videos .however can you not add music in the background.

wait...english isn't your first language?? what's your first language then (if you don't mind sharing)?

Oh my gosh, you are so pretty! This was a very informative video! Thank you! 🤗😊

Plz make a video that how to study on scholarship in foreign countries

All I’m gonna say is, you ever see an accounting major drop out of the business college and switch to engineering 2 years in? 👀 Absolutely no disrespect to any business or accounting majors that read this

She's right. As a graduate engineer, I look back and think writing long papers on various subjects would have been harder than solving problems through applied science.

I know the "you've got it or you don't!" line is a lie. But I just find programming and math so hard it wears me out mentally because I have to work about twice or three times as hard as other students.

so knowing that you are doing a master in Germany, i would like know which idiom is use in the lessons? greetings from Chile.

What about chemical

Omggg im the same way. Its so difficult for me to write but i can solve physics or mathematical problems very well. Civil engineering here, woohoo!

Not to be rude or anything, but I just think that your concepts should cover a wider area. You talked about the people who are problem-solvers, and the ones that are pretty good at writing. I think that writing, social abilities, memorizing abilities aren't things that eliminate the possibility of being handy with precice sciences.

I'm motivated haha

well atleast u can remember mitochondria

I need help , im in high school and i want to study engineering in usa , but i need a scholarship or a financial aid , smn to help pls ?? I only need informations.

What is your university's name? you are perfect in English 💕

it requires natural science knowledge to calculate mathes as wel as physics & it is my interesting field.

very nice

so i have a question next year im gonna major in mechanical engineering but let's say you have a class where you need to do a group project and you dont have any friends in that class what should you do i know it's stupid but im sure you wont friends in every class and it might happen

There are impossible problems in engineering, mostly to do with resource allocation (budget and scheduling). Say you have a project that you estimate will take about 30 hours, and your boss only allocates 17 hours to you. Now it is impossible for you to complete the project on schedule. Sometimes you get people defining conflicting project requirements (managers or customers) because they do not understand the engineering tradeoffs involved. (Ex. Filter Noise vs Bandwidth) And some people will set you up to fail deliberately because they want to use you as a scapegoat, just dump their problems on you, or because they are threatened by you and want to see you crash and burn.

Im not sure on the problem solving thing I want to help people, that means going into buomedical engineering, and I feel inspired to do it but is problem solving all thrre is to engineering?

Friday night

Wow u have 11k now

Biology is any other subject... it is not pure memorization.. after general biology you have to apply experiments to the concepts. You can’t memorize that

Wow. You had me fooled. I thought you were a native speaker

*Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell*

im dying from it.. and still like it..maybe im weird? idk.

That English sounds awesome lol.. you pulling my leg.. you can do history lol.. it takes practice

I also prefer engineering to biology. Even though I'm passionate about biology, and never thought I'd eventually get into engineering, I realized in high school that I can't deal with the way they teach biology. I can memorize paragraphs of information, but find it boring and pointless. I'm now in comp eng, I'm not passionate about it, but I'm getting through. It was the easier option that was still safe. I definitely prefer learning methods to solve problems than having to memorize a lot of information.

No mention of actual engineering? It doesn't stop at the university you know.

Actually the cell is the powerhouse of the mitochondria.🤔🧐

which field is more difficult... Civil or Mechanical or Electrical??

2:40 finally an engineer claimed it lol otherwise engineering students have complexes of calling themselves the smartest or saying other fields are "easier". She's the only one claiming that political science will be harder for her than engineering!

So relatable lol can't memorize at all Edit: my classmates laugh at me when I couldn't memorize chemical reaction (But they cannot solve mechanisms lol)

please upload more movies , please

I thought you you are Canadian
