Greetings from a mechanical engineering student in Brazil. Your videos are very interesting, keep it up!
I’m a (senior) ME at Purdue University, going for my masters in ME (eventually PhD), I absolutely loved this video and completely empathize with it! Been doing research on 2D material mechanics and it’s amazing, also have been looking into studying in Switzerland so maybe I might bump into you! Either way, amazing video, and very real about the life of an ME😂🙏🏻
im a mech e and product design major in the USA going into my third year and i love it so much. im very involved in sustainable development projects that bleed into civil engineering. so awesome to see what other kinds of research mech e's are doing out there - its such a widely applicable skill base. dope video :)
Thank you for posting this video. You have confirmed my biases in wanting to switch from undergraduate engineering to computer science. All the best to you and your PHd in engineering!
Omg, It's one of the best videos I have ever watched. Keep on going and update more videos about mechanical experiments.
I want to become an aerospace engineer and this just motivated me as hell !!🚀
Really cool to see a grad student showing their research! I'm a sophomore in ME! Hope it goes well!

I go to the University of Iowa right now. I have a question for you. I'm interested in the notion of research and even a little more specific in fluid flows and the associated heat transfer that can occur. The overarching reason why I'm interested in this area is because of renewable energy technologies like wind turbines. However, this semester I'll be taking 6 courses (18 semester hours) and I don't think I would have time for it. Have you been in situations like this before? My gut instinct right now is to hold off during the spring semester and try next fall when I'll have a smaller course load. What do you think? Also, thanks for responding to my comment. Subscribed! :)
@RiverTechJess
6 жыл бұрын
Thats a great/fun area of research! And renewables is a great industry because it's what every city/company is investing in. I think if you have a heavy course load, then don't start research. Because you want to do your best work (maybe even publish in a journal), you want to make good connections with the professors and the PhD students (for letters of recommendation). basically, you want to give 100%. You wont be able to do that with a heavy course load. BUT don't wait until you have an easy course load, because chances are that you wont have one. So I would suggest to find some sort of compromise, maybe take 2 electives in one semester so that you can focus on research. Also consider summer research:) Good luck and let me know how it goes!

How's it?
In my 1st year of work as a mechanical engineer. Work is rough but fun when I get to do design work. In the sugar industry though so just gathering the experience and plan to start-up something myself that I find more meaningful. The best thing about engineering is the options you have. You can quite literally do anything you want provided you're willing to work for it. To any students out there battling, or people thinking about doing mechanical engineering, keep this in mind through your slog. It is all worth it. And do your pracs! Especially those pesky elec ones. You won't regret it when you're sitting with a multidisciplinary project and don't have to revise the shit out of it :P Have a good day
What a beautiful video and so interesting, I'm also studying Mechanical Engineering but in the Power Electric side. You should still making more vlogs like this. Greetings from Mexico!!

I'm a mechanical engineer but I'm only working in an auto body shop... This video made me question what am I doing with my life.. hahaha...
I do a technologist course in mechanical projects, it's like a mechanical engineering focused in machine projects. I like how this course changed my mind, I mean, you start to see the things and try to imagine how are they build mainly when you have the resistance of materials subject at the course hehe. Right now when u were showing the machine I was imagining, wow how they built something like his or how did they discovered some stuffs, cuz the hardest part is when you search, search and research and don't find what u want. Yeah, but anyway, good video
That project is so cool. So glad you explained it.

Hey António, we had 20% girls in our classes. (but maybe this is just in canadian schools?)

STEMinine well idk. In mine ME there is like maybe 1 girl per 50 guys no joke. But in civil, environment etc engineering there are quite some few. I guess it depends on the school too

Seriously, enjoy it while it lasts. Yes highschool is boring, but you have a ton of free time! Pick up sports or hobbies that you've been wanting to do, hang out with friends more, date enough girls to satisfy you for multiple years. College is way more interesting, but also way harder and time consuming. It is not out of the ordinary to basically go byebye social life in your first year.

I’m turning 23 this year in may and I finally decided to go back to school. I’m currently completing an automotive technician program (7 months left) and I’m watching you and I’m hoping I could take something from this video as this seems like the course(s) I may take up thank you for the video and god bless
Which software do you use for simulation. Please tell me...
Am a girl !? And am also an Mechanical Engineer!!! Love to see this video!!
I am a 3rd year mechanical engineering student from Canada. During the summer time I work as a product developer and designer for a hockey company. It includes a lot of brainstorming, lots of Solidworks, testing our products to make sure they can withstand impacts, and a lot of patent research to make sure our ideas can be created, and lots of FUN!!!
Hello there! I am a mechanical engineer too, 4th year, bachelors. Looking forward to more mechanical related videos from you. Love from India.
Also a mechanical engineer, I'm a senior at Texas Tech University in the US. Any advice on where to go after graduation? I'm looking for jobs but the market is really competitive right now.. not sure if I should keep searching aggressively or jump into MS here at Tech or somewhere else. Advise please! Great Vlog btw...!

Hey Khubaib Lakhani! Thanks for watching and great question. As a young engineer you really have a lot of options. What are your reasons for wanting to do a MSc? Is it just because you're not sure about the market? Because you should only be getting an MSc for the following reasons: 1- You want to work in Europe. In Europe you need an MSc to work as an engineer. There's really nothing else to say. Unless you don't actually want to work as an engineer and just find another job. 2- You want to work in a specialized field. For example, I work in combustion. If I was to work at Siemens or Pratt & Whitney or GE, I need at LEAST an MSc (or even a PhD) but this is a specific research field within engines. But if you are fine with being flexible an working on many different types of projects as an engineer along different parts of the pipeline then I wouldn't suggest an MSc. So the question is really, what do you want to do? Now my question to you. Would you benefit if I started making a little video series called the "1 minute ask an engineer show" where I would answer questions like these in 1min? Let me know and thanks for watching!

Honestly I don't have enough industry experience to really know if I'm interested in a specialized field. I feel like work experience is the only way I would personally be able to get an idea about it and unfortunately I only have one internship in Oil & Gas (It's huge in TX) and I realized I'm not interested in pursuing that so it helped. I am interested in a lot of things and I feel like I could develop a passion for wherever I start unless it's a dead- end repetitive field. And yes I would watch that lol.. I think for me the only thing that stops me from clicking on an interesting video (in this case for ex. a mech engr related vid) would be the duration. So 1-min vids would capture a huge audience. I know some male engineer youtubers who have very boring 6-8 min videos and they have hundreds of thousands of views so definitely think you could be successful with that!

Ok so I think if you don't really know what you like then I would say you can do two things. 1- This last year of college, maybe explore the possibilities to do an MSc. And I don't mean in terms of schools. I mean in labs/projects and go speak to professors. You can email professors asking about their lab and saying your interested in doing an MSc and most of them will be happy to show you around and show you the research going on. Then you can pick an interesting project that you might develop a passion for. 2- You can go for internships/jobs in different fields and figure out what you like and then decide to go back and do an MSc. I think the REALLY TRULY important thing here is to remember that you literally have your entire life to do an MSc. And you also literally have your entire life to work. You can always switch career paths. I'm from Canada but living in Europe and people live life so much slower here than in North America. Everyone is in less of a rush. Don't buy into the fact that you need to figure everything out right away, because you don't. (Also please subscribe if you haven't yet :P )

That last bit was what I needed to hear. Society and norms make us feel so pressured to plan out and calculate every move we make and not think about what we actually want to do. I think I need to take a step back and take a deep breath. I will look into both options you suggested me. You are very right in the sense that it's pointless to jump into a MSc by default without considering why I am doing it. I think I'm leaning towards giving the job market a solid effort and see where my fate takes me.. most recruiting goes on through November, and I have a sense of what interests me. But thanks a lot for the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out! And officially subscribed.. :)

Thanks so much! And I really hope I was of help. Please keep me in the loop. And I hope you don't mind but I published your question and my response in a Medium article and on Tumblr (medium.com/@STEMinine/what-should-i-do-after-graduation-a919d7db905b) because I'm sure more student's have the same questions. I only used your first name but if you would like me to change that then let me know:)

Bro, I will be studying Electrical Engineer in 16 weeks after I graduate from High School. How you holding up? Do you have time to do things you like or you be studying all day? Is it hard?

I'm only a sophomore so I'm still in the "weed out" stage of the program. Junior year is the hardest. Taking upper level physics and calculus right now along with some EE and programming courses. It is a lot of work and its not easy but its manageable if you plan out your time well and use the available resources to help you when you struggle. I certainly do not study all day lol. I'd be burnt out if I did, and you shouldn't do that either. It's good to take some time off relaxing and going to parties and stuff. But you have to immediately get back to the grind the next day

Freshman year 1 semester I partied almost every weekend because to me the work was not difficult at all(calc 1, chem 1, some gen eds). If you can, try and go out and have as much fun as possible during your first semester if you also find your course load to be manageable and relatively easy. Get all the partying and fun out your system because after freshman year you'll have very little time to do so if you want to progress and do well. Keep your GPA up, get involved, and have some fun. Best of luck to you. If you got any questions don't hesitate to ask

Hi, I'm final year mechanical engineer. but i have friends in electric in my hostel. so almost all engineering fields are way too much easy. we do party, and everything. I myself usually study at last month of semester, although i won't advice you for such thing but i still have 3.4 cgpa. while in my department, teachers don't give good grades so often as compared to other campuses, but still it is easy unless you are weak in mathematics
Very Cool! Great Experiment/ modeling!

Hi I just want to say thank you. I’m 16 from the UK about to pick my A Levels and I was stuck between chemistry and physics but watching this video I definitely want to pursue physics.
