If you want to become open for electrical engineering career paths as a current student finishing his CS undergrad, should you do a masters in electrical engineering or a second bachelors in electrical engineering so as toget the electrical side of things?
To be fair, I suspect a large percentage here is due to parallel disciplines. Example: a mechanical engineer working as an electrical engineer. That said, I'm not too familiar with all the statistics.
Great content! Plz look directly at the camera btw, feels like you're talking to someone hovering over my left shoulder.
Hey, Oliver! Just binged three of your videos. Real good stuff! You have a very likeable personality. Thank you for all the useful content. Best wishes and cheers!
I have an engineering degree and I do engineering work, but not in the field I studied for. I'm a robotics engineer, but I do software engineering, specifically platforms engineering.
Do a resume video on computer engineering and make a portfolio
It's just like any other field. Companies don't offer retirement anymore because it's expensive, but then there's no incentive for employees to stick around long term. But because employees don't stick around long term, there's no incentive for employers to go to the effort to train them. A degree of any type is just a piece of paper which says a person has a minimum level of knowledge in a specific discipline. Get a degree, but realize you still really don't know very much. You're trainable. Probably. Even then, an employer will likely have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to train you.
I'm a Mechatronics Engineer from germany, we called it Microtechnology and Mechatronics. The road is a fun one studying this field. I was working as a automation software engineer. Then I got my recent job, where I construct and build chemical plants. IT's really fun, but my Boss keeps asking me if I'm allowed to switch on electrical systems, which I am up to 1kV, all after that is beyond me. Just Now I'm working as an Instrumentation and Controls Engineer, so basically electrical with small voltage and sensors. But since I didn't study electrical engineering, I keep getting asked if I'm allowed to switch on Electrical Systems. Still, best decision of my life.
The ratio of engineers to technicians on a construction site is probably 1:20. A small factory can operate with just one engineer. Might have something to do with that. [Edit] Just checked. ILO recommends a ratio of engineers, technicians and craftspeople of 1:5:25. Fresh engineering graduates should probably be willing to be underemployed for about 5yrs after graduation.
75% of ***STEM graduates*** don't work in their field of study
Degrees are a dated concept and need to be replaced my independent/specialized certifications that expire. The concept of going to school for four years and then being considered an expert for life is flawed at best and stupid at worst, just look at the tech industry for an example. The only reason the current system still exists is the sunk cost fallacy. College is a scam where 60% of people drop out and 75% of people that do graduate apparently dont even use their degree. Lets also talk about the fact that theyre probably in significant debt aswell... Yikes.... Instead of making college free we should just shut them down and replace them. Sorry for the rant.
In India, this ratio is 98% of Engineers won't do engineering.
You really need internship experience before you graduate and good connections from your time I university to have a good job lined up once you get out. I don't neccesarily see an engineering degree a waste of time if you pivot to business/finance because you can use the problem solving and detail oriented focus engineering requires to provide real value to society
Many engineers are just not good enough to be real professional high level engineers!
Hey I just wanna clarify, is this data strictly applicable to Canada or can it be applied to the United States as well?
So as a Civil Engineer, I’m ok
I have a BS from Berkeley in Engineering Physics, it's structured a bit differently than discussed in this video, it was a subset of Engineering Science as a whole, which contained other odd interdisciplinary Engineering + pure phys/math/science hybrids as well. For Berkeley, and likely many other Unis, a key consideration is that EP was very much geared for the student to go to graduate school, it was one of the few "Engineering" degrees with a GPA minimum requirement (essential for grad school compared to more execution-oriented engineering roles), and was a vestige of the Manhattan project --> Cold war, where the nation needed top tier research universities to be feeder programs to higher ed and government labs. With the consolidation of govt labs from hundred(s) down to dozens, the field has been in decline for decades, which is why it's relatively unheard of compared to newer sexier engineering fields (e.g. BioE). The strong emphasis towards graduate school (at least at Cal) also means that you are by definition much less employable than other engineering degrees (e.g. EECS) for well-defined roles such as programmers. Sure, there are those niche areas where the ability to digest just a bit more information than the next engineer, at a slightly higher level, is more valuable than a more traditional engineering degree, but it's important to keep in mind that many graduate level engineers and physicists (esp at the PhD level) can also do that, so you're really looking for fields that want a slightly more generalist engineer, but at an undergrad level (rare). Finally, due to the small size of the field, and the very very wide array of paths you can take due to the inherently interdisciplinary nature of it, it's a fairly lonely program, as you aren't in a well-defined cohort of students going through very similar lower and upper div classes; there's quite a diaspora at the upper-div level, especially during senior year. All in all, the realities of the major in my opinion means that the downside greatly outweigh the upsides. Edit: Forgot to add - for current EP majors, I _highly_ recommend not "enjoying" random electives too much, and focusing deeply on one of the tracks that appeal to you, the extra depth of knowledge in a specific field will make you much more employable and competitive against others who came out specifically studying that field (e.g. think about an EP with some intro level dabbling in aerospace plus nuc. eng plus whatever, vs. a dedicated aerospace engineer).
BME = Bad Major Engineering
I think you were pretty honest, and you look naive in a cute way. I would've give you a chance. Excellent advise, understand the role and even ask for examples.
SIR I LOVE YOU
Sorry I know this comment isn’t really related to the video but is mechatronic engineering a major in the university
Is mechatronic engineering a major in uni??
Good content
Dont need a degree to be an engineer! Ive met so many degree educated "engineers " that dont have a clue on the practical. Fuck University.
engineers are the bomb
nice vid dude
so the bankers made this shit up and we follow it?
Another positive note: I graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree recently, and had already received an offer of employment before my graduation last semester. Engineering is a very experience heavy job, but finding an internship early and doing passion projects on the side makes a huge difference to getting your first job. The additional benefit, is once you clear the barrier to entry, it only gets easier to find employment with large pay bumps at 2 years, 5 years and 8 years of experience (generally)
hi Oliver, can you please help me with simple mini project ideas based on mechatronics engineering?..it will be helpful if you reply soon
Maybe its because school has become an industry.
Superb recommendations, thank you!
I was a field service tech for Cummins Allison 852 Feehanville Drive Mount Prospect, IL 60056 they make money counting equipment (not the diesel people) but same scenario, half assed parts and to top it of they told me not to do the preventative maintenance anymore at customer sites just run the vacuum a little bit and wipe down the machines. I was like "But that is gonna make the service call numbers go up and is >theft of service< WHY ? Well they wanted to keep selling new equipment every 3 years or so see ? With At Will I was fired,SAD HUH ? Country is in TROUBLE...
Are you an eagle by any chance?
Do you have any idea how many products you use every single day that are the result of refining petroleum? Like seriously... You putting petrol engineers in C because "the environment" when you're litterally using petrol products in this video and to make it is hypocrital. It makes you look like some immature college kid.
You look like an AI character
software engineer grad here, with 10 yrs coding experience and I am driving a school bus - on top of everything else, companies want foreign young people, especially females
Diversity quota? Damn sucks man
Awesome video that was helpful! (Quick note that not all engineers are straight men or lesbians.)
I have Electricity's engenenieer study for 5 years and now I am repeating my baccalaureate
If anyone is watching this and makes it to the comments. You can be an engineer, but do not pick mechanical. It's easily the least paid, most competitive, and with most manufacturing being outsourced to countries like India and china where they have millions of engineers that will work for half the pay, you're better off doing a trade or going civil or electrical.
Hi, I have a question Do u study computer engineering in mechatronics? And Which are the best universities to take mechatronics? Thanks pls help I have to apply❤❤❤🎉🎉
I want to point out that not all electronic boards are embedded systems (ES). In order a board to be an ES it should be "embedded"... yes I mean, many different hardware embedded inside a chip or in a couple of chips. Even though ES are now very common for the microcontroller (mc) popularity (which is in fact an embedded sistem itself) there are many electronics board that doesn't have mc or other sort of multi intregrated hardware like FPGA or ASICs. Not all ES are programable by the user, they are in fact programmable by the designer though.
This might be an unpopular comment but I'll throw my hat into this ring. Graduated 2021 with B.S. in M.E., roped into a "plus one" program which took about 1.5 years because the program was a damn lie and the administration axed it after all my friends and I were admitted and registered. Slept through literally every single class since professors were shite anyways (hooray for Covid lockdown, baby! Even the GRE requirement was waived for grad school, lol), graduated with masters. After that, I did *NOTHING* for 6 whole months. I was fucken _chillin'_ like a villain, being able to experience real living for the first time since I was a kid. I kept my ear to the ground though, examined the waves of the industry, scoped scoped scoped not for a job, jobs ARE literally everywhere for engineers but rather evaluating companys I would _want_ to work for. Thinking about the work I wanted to actually do. I remembered back to my senior design project and the very positive experience I had with the representatives of our sponsor company then, researched them on what they were doing now and reading stuff about what they planned to do in the future which piqued my insterest. Found a posting for an entry level position on their website, and applied. Threw my application out to one other place as a backup plan. The first place had a one-on-one meeting with me online as a vibe check and then my official interview was scheduled. That interview had me talk to 6 different people and lasted EIGHT HOURS becuse the last guy made the mistake of saying "hey, if you have any questions, my portion of our interview is your opportunity to ask anything that you didn't have time to get to with the others." Having done my due diligence to study the company beforehand I had so many questions and the answers prompted more and more questions. I got the job with just below 100% compa-ratio and now I've been here for a year now. So did everything just happen to line up in my favor, was it my own agency which lead me here, or a combination of both? My friend on the other hand went into engineering because as a student she had potential, a minor interest in STEM, and greed. At literally every stage she liked it less and less and thought she'd find happiness if only she learned a bit more about it in the next class or in the next project in her job. In essence, she picked none of her career choices carefully enough to consider what would make her content and now she's trying to bail and get into artificial intelligence and comp-sci, which isn't the furthest leap, really, but also wants to be a published author in creative writing, so who knows where she's headed in the end. When I see these statistics, I'm led to believe that the actual fault is the system not having the leniency for many people to be able to switch after having already started on-course. It's not just paying the price to do so but the TIME. You lose entire years of career development progress with nothing to show for it if you realize you don't dig your field of study. So... engineers _do_ things, practical and useful things. We're not just problem solvers but solution implementers as well and THOSE skills you can carry over the principles to virtually wherever and thus, people stay on a rail they know is going to dead-end on them, and then switch tracks when they get there.
You have to be willing to move after graduation to gain experience in what you want.
only in US in UE everyone that i know that has graduated as an engineer work as an engineer ❤
I used to think I needed friends but after several bad experiences with so called friends I realized I am not really great with judging people and finding good friends so I am better off not trying.
Me when I'm bad at math so the best option is to stop doing math equations.
@@twinkiefrost6668 That is a flawed comparison. You may need math to survive (uncommon this day and age) but for some situations friendships are optional when you have family, children, job and hobbies that fulfill your life. Everyone’s needs and capabilities are different. A bad friend can be more destructive than your worst enemy.
@@shrapmetal the comparison has nothing to do with math specifically whatsoever it's just a use case to show the concept of stopping a skill because you doing have bad results. Literally who cares tho
Can u pls make a video on environmental engineering? Thx.
Are you a Perfectionist Personality?
I want to study the universe and its theories and else related to Physics, however i also want to be competitive in job prospects. Will engineering physics help me with that? I mean, my final goal is not engineering but physics, but i think an ENGINEERING PHYSICS degree could help me to stand out of others applicants who only studiend physics, am i right?
Hey Oliver is c# also used?
Is we get jobs in assembling units
