As a Civil-Structural grad 1-yr out of college, I think Civil deserves to have its sub-fields ranked on here as well. Structural is a subtrack of Civil at many schools, and one of the higher paying ones, but I’d like to see its demand and meaning score and how they compare to Civil as a whole.
Completely agree. Environmental and Water systems engineering are key to differentiate. In some cases, mining engineering, my field, is considered civil engineering, so it would be nice to separate them to make me feel special lol
Civil engineering give you a lot of job roles to be in and great salaries as well. Imagine how much can you make if you start your own business after getting the necessary experience. I will put civil engineering a bit higher than a B XD. The pros of being a bachelor civil engineer is you have a lot of areas to work in like structural, geotechnical, hydraulics, etc... And you never get bore, because every project is different and always has something new to learn.
@@officialyoake4162 it depends on what you are interested in. But if you like both, I'd say electrical is better since it has better salary. It also has many jobs and you could even do stuff that computer engineers do. But civil also has positives as the comment above said.
Electrical is better statistically in terms of salary, but it is much more difficult. Both are great careers. It’s more important that you choose which one you will enjoy more.
mechatronics engineering is like 50% mechanical and 50%electrical engineering, at least in Australia, it's an excellent option if you want to do both degrees without doing two degrees
Biomedical engineering majors if you're worried about your course choice, don't fret! Most roles in medical engineering aren't going to be called biomedical engineer because that would be a very vague job description for making medical devices. Instead, you will find roles such as mechanical, systems, electrical, design (CAD) and software engineers which you can then apply your degree to any of, assuming you can demonstrate the multidisciplinary skills your course gave you. These roles then work on one aspect of the device as part of a team, rather than one person trying to do all of it. This means figures are going to be misleading as they only account for the rare situations where your job title will actually be "Biomedical Engineer". In the medical device sector your degree will give you the edge over people who went into pure mechanical etc. as it shows your dedication to the medical industry to a company, and that you know exactly where you want to be. Just be careful to choose actually decent modules (not just the easy sounding ones) and focus on the knowledge you gained from those specific modules in interviews and on your CV, as biomedical engineering can be very broad. If it turns out that you don't fancy biomedical after all, I would recommend again focusing on any modules relevant to the degree you want to work in. For example if I wanted to switch to a systems engineering role, I could talk about the modules in systems design and control engineering I've completed in interviews. It also helps to have projects outside of university, in particular things like Arduino, ESP32 embedded software programming, making games in C#, designing PCBs etc can all show off your passion for another engineering discipline. I'm currently doing an internship at a multinational medical device company and the R&D department is gigantic, but not one of us is called a biomedical engineer. Personally, my title falls mostly under mechanical engineer. There's also manufacturing engineers and quality assurance engineers, a good few of which have biomedical engineering degrees. TL;DR Biomedical engineering is a skeleton key to get into any other engineering role in the medical industry, and usually isn't a defined role in itself. Please like this if you found it helpful to stop a biomedical engineer from dropping out in their final year unnecessarily! :)
Bro this is so helpful I am glad I saw this comment on this video. I am a senior going to college for biomedical major and I am so excited but truly scared and I wanna know what's the best thing I can do right now.
@@emmanuelukwandu Do what makes you happy. The guy in this video doesn't really know what he's talking about anyways - he put software and computer engineering both in S tier based off some ambiguous criteria. Specifically with computer engineering; the pay and meaning scores according to his sources are pretty mid yet it's still in S tier.
@@emmanuelukwanduchange majors! The job market is actually scarce. My wife is a biomedical engineer and is location dependent because only certain companies need these roles.
At my university they offer a biomedical engineering certificate rather than degree. So I'm an electrical engineering student, but was given the option during a less busy semester to take an online anatomy course from the university, and then a couple years later take a course in biomedical engineering that related to my main engineering path. For me, electrical, but that course was also offered to mechanical and industrial engineers. Fair compromise if you want to specialize in a more general field and are unsure of what career path you want to take but wouldn't mind having some experience with biomedical stuff to have that option open.
@@navodyaweerasinghe5443 A - F just represents how good a particular thing is by giving it a school graded system that most people understand and “S” is just a rebranded “A+” but some people just prefer to call it “Super” and that is the standard tier list system from “S - D” or “S - F “
I graduated with a bachelors in petroleum engineering in 04 and a masters in 2009. I love it, but I would advise anyone who wants to study it to go to school for mechanical or chemical engineering instead and look for internships with oil companies. They're much more adaptable degrees.
I second this, I'm in my senior year of chemical engineering and have 1 year of co-op/internship experience in oil and gas. I have honestly loved my time in the oil and gas industry
Be aware that there are 2 careers called "systems engineer." One is closer to industrial engineering and the other is closer to a systems administrator. This could be skewing the metrics.
Guys, always remember to do what you like and are good at. The best part about engineering degrees is that you will generally get a decent salary no matter what.
bro, i like architectural engineering and i'm very passion by it but i'm scared to do it because i heard that it's not well paid and there is no work opportunities
@@MohamedamineElhaddad-rj1ez no matter what job or path you end up taking the salary will vary widely from person to person simply cause some people stand out more than others , study the major you really love and aim to stand out in it, don’t put all your focus on the money. You’re allowed to think about it yes but don’t let it be your goal, it will just lead to regret
I think it's reasonable that the video is approximately 18 minutes for 18 engineering degrees covered, however, I would like to see the title of each degree on the chart because they are not obvious from the picture for people who want to see the final result at the end without spending almost 20 minutes to get to the point.
Everytime I watch these, I'm more and more convinced that there isn't enough research being done on the field of Civil Engineering and how versatile it is. In terms of jobs, pay and social life. I also think that it having one of the highest "meaning" scores goes to show how free people feel within the field. Money is great and all in tech, but why stress and hate your job when you can do something more fullfilling and still make just as much? Also, if you go into government jobs, you don't have to work over 40+ weeks often and you still get well pay plus all holidays off and have very amazing benefits + retirement investments ensured.
Civil engineering give you a lot of job roles to be in and great salaries as well. Imagine how much can you make if you start your own business after getting the necessary experience. I will put civil engineering a bit higher than a B XD. The pros of being a bachelor civil engineer is you have a lot of areas to work in like structural, geotechnical, hydraulics, etc... And you never get bore, because every project is different and always has something new to learn.
I just started uni for Civil Engineering because of it’s opportunities. You are very flexible, it’s in high demand and it is meaningful. I hope that I make it through this degree.
@@jeycalc6877that’s because most People don’t get software engineering degrees, they get computer science degrees which is not the same thing- one is in the engineering school while the other is in the arts and sciences school. I did software engineering at a major university and my classes only had 20-30 students in them, with 80%+ of those students being computer science majors.
@@tagtraumerin5077you’re right. I just started my second year in civil. Here in Las Vegas Civil engineering is booming. My dad is an executive VP at his Civil company and he’s telling me that by the time I graduate we are going to be working on the monorail that goes from LV to LA and other southern Cali cities
People always put civil engineering down towards the bottom, but I (a civil engineer) make as much as my electrical engineer boyfriend and my job is in every single city in the world and every county and state. We have management and people skills that most other engineers don’t. We can work our way up very easily and I have experienced absolutely no problem finding jobs wherever I want one. Civil engineering is a very good degree that can lead to a great career. I’m not sure why so many people list other engineering degrees as so much better.
I love hearing this. I live in LA county rn and saw that a civil engineer’s median salary here is ~80,000 which discouraged me. I love the idea and the goal of civil engineering and feel like it would be an amazing job for me. I’m wondering how much school did u go through? Is a bachelors enough?
As one of the people in the marine engineering field, I think that he does not quite understand what we generally do. We are essentially industrial engineers with a specialization in ships. We have completely different licenses than shoreside. Many marine engineering jobs can not be filled with a broad engineering degree, but we have the ability to take industrial engineering jobs
let's not forget that almost all marine engineers have a surplus of vacation days, because the shipping companies don't have enough engineers to have two engineers pr. position, meaning vacation is typically traded for profit.
As someone who studied Mechatronics for a semester and then made the switch to electrical engineering, I can say that mechatronics is interesting and versatile, but it’s limited to only fields where we have mechatronics systems, for example, productionlines, or robotics you only learn basics in college , which makes you under-qualified in each field(mechanical, electrical, software) compared to someone who only studies that field ,because you just don’t go into depth in each field. You just learn enough to be able to work with systems where all these fields meet and that limits you to only that. Maybe the education will be better in a couple of years, but for now I would just recommend to study one field where you want to be better than anyone else.
@@Indocryptic What I assume is the case is that mechatronics teaches you Mechanical, Electrical, and Software engineering in 3-4 years, leading to an underdeveloped knowledge in all 3 fields. I imagine companies that are making products that require all three engineering disciplines, e.g robotics, would hire a team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers to complete the task. Leaving a mechatronics engineer belonging to all three teams, and none at the same time because they're less experienced than everyone else.
@@levizooms thats 100% accurate. Excactly what i was trying to say. People believe they can shortcut a tripple major but end up beeing lost when it comes to going into depth in one Field and having to relearn stuff in theire workspace.. which isnt something a company wants from an engineer..
@@mikeinnator3360 i am still at uni. i have not even srarted looking yet for a job. you might want ask the guy who posted the video. did you actually watch this video?? he did say electrical is S tier though.
@@ledifyy graduated during Covid (May 2020, couldn’t find a job until March 2021, worked as a dispensary agent from summer to November, basically quit in November to quit smoking and just apply like crazy and study stuff I had learned in school to get up to date on it. Eventually knocked a few interviews out of the park, got 2 offers in February, took the better one. I did an internship during school as well and just really highlighted my projects. Looked at job descriptions and also studied the stuff they were looking for, for example analog sensors, and data acquisition from the sensors, like ADCs and generating the voltage difference from the sensor (like a Wheatstone bridge), was literally the technical question in my interview. Have a simple resume but tailor it to each job application based on the job description, and make sure you know everything on your resume as they will ask about it. I would put in a good 2 months of doing this like hardcore, and you’ll get something. Although the job market is very bad right now to be honest, like a year ago it was crazy good. But there is still stuff out there and a high demand for EEs in general compared to other disciplines.
@@ledifyy I started at 80k a year which is really high straight out of college, I would aim to negotiate for a minimum 70k/yr. if you get desperate, 60k isnt terrible but that would be the ABSOLUTE LOWEST I would go.
@@loserxxlover7754 in college it will require doing organic chemistry, microbiology, differential equations, and physics. Courses very similar to civil engineering but less concrete more geology.
Where??? ~100k is more than enough where I live, which has a pretty high cost-of-living (MA, USA) Also a lot of aerospace jobs are based in Florida and Texas, where CoL is much lower. California ehhh not as much
I have studied Mechatronics Engineering... But to be honest, there is not such jobs as they ask for "Mechatronics Engineers" it's like we have to decide if we want to focus on mechanics, or in software, or in electrical, or try to combine everything as Embedded Systems Engineer... And by the way... I was waiting for that on the tier list... But my be I missed it?
Shout-out to this video that made me decide my future one week before applying to college, I'm a mechanical engineer student now, about to finish my first year of college now lol
New viewer, definitely a decent 90,000 foot view of engineering. While I’m almost certain the bare minimum of research was done and you can’t condense a life long choice into 18 minutes, I got some ideas on how to better research my career. Thanks
Sleeping so hard on mining engineering. Super high paying and much easier than any other field of engineering. I get paid to design under ground explosions blowing up rock to get gold. Nothing better than that
What my college does is mechatronics engineering as a minor that can be added with a tailored set of tech electives to a mechanical engineering degree with no extra course load. That’s the path I’m doing because it allows broad and specific categories in one path.
Environmental Engineering is def on the rise. I do not know about the states but in my country their is a huge deman for em, my class was the first one to graduate with local Env Engineering courses and we all found jobs easily as before they had to bring in experts from other countries, and the sustainability and green energy sectors are in desperate need of more people in this field as more are investing in it. Their is a lot of potential for it.
I should be noted that with Computer Engineering you can actually do both Software and Electrical Engineering jobs, so the opportunities are vast. At the entry level it is a pretty common degree for both.
Electrical engineering is a very broad field. Computer engineers focus on the digital side of it. You still won't be able to do analog circuit design, power engineering and microwave engineering
@@deltaiii3158 i dont know in the US but here where i live, in computer ingeneering we have electronical subjects, and analog circuit designs subjects as well.
@@apza120 They're all really really good options. It really comes down to what you prefer as an individual. What do you like the most? I myself am a cs major but did consider CE for a long time
Hey it would be really cool if you gave welding engineering some exposure. It’s not well known, but I honestly I’d rank it a A-tier major and not enough people know about it
It’s important to remember that while civil engineering is generally paid less, they are also the most who work in the government. So while you get small checks, you get fat stacks in benefits and is generally regarded as the least stressful engineering field.
I've heard there's a lot more bureaucracy than other engineering fields, harder to move up in the ranks due to old school mentality and they expect you to grind for low pay at first, and you also need to get a bunch of certifications to move up. I've heard the industry being described as frustrating. But obv I'm just pointing out the negatives right now.
@@sachinpowers2067 i find it funny that i agree and experienced it myself most of your comment through my career in civil engineer eventhough there's a high chance that we're from different country.i guess bad system and working environment of construction project around the world are the same,huh.(pardon my english)
As a part time government employee, it really is the lifestyle. You take more breaks than you actually work. My boss makes 80K a year and she sits in her office all day and signs documents for staff. She then goes up front and just talks for 4 hours straight before going home. That's it. You will never have to worry about losing your job. Thousands of engineers were laid off this past month from tech companies. My friend went from making 120K a year to nothing overnight, he was called into the office and HR fired him the next day. If you go the private industry you will never have guaranteed security, choose the government and you will be set for life. There are lines to progress in the government, and while entry positions don't pay as much, your potential for senior level positions is off the charts. Another friend of mine, his dad, has 0 degrees, some electrical technical certification, and after many years in the government is making six figures. If you have the initiative to progress, the government will allow it.
Its great mate, im currently in industrial and management engineering, and its so versatile you can basicly aply to all types of engineering and Also to some management jobs, mainly in the industrial field
@@SenuraReshan As a nuclear engineering student myself, I can pretty much guarantee that the USA is you're best bet for the best school. It's expensive, but nuclear engineering is almost non-existent outside of the USA when it comes to universities, though many European countries have started to heavily ramp up their funding for various areas in the field (France and Finland come to mind here).
I obtained my BSEE with Honors from SJSU at age 50. My BSEE and 20 years of previous electronics technician experience landed me a job as a Research and Development Engineer for spacecraft antenna systems. 10 years later I was promoted to Senior Digital Communication Systems Engineer. My start salary was $105k /year.
You should cover nanoengineering. I got my MS degree in it 10 years ago and was the only grad in line for it on my graduation day😂. It is very new, challenging and niche but a great in demand career. SUNY Poly/CNSE had one of the first degree programs for only MS/PhD.
For network engineering, there is a high chance you can get a job without even having a degree, Just certifications like CCNA/CCNP etc. The salary might not be as high at first, but you also dont need to go into student debt. Right now im 25 with no degree and I make 70k as a network engineer.
@@diablo3053 Because there are a lot of really crappy support jobs with networking with the title "Network Engineer" - If you get into some high skilled positions you can make bank with networking. It is just kind of a niche field and really hard to understand at first. I highly recommend to anyone interested in computer science but maybe dont want to do programming.
@@diablo3053 it's not low, you have way more options as a network engineer. The video is kinda odd and maybe doesn't understand totally what does networking engineer mean, but it's almost the same as system engineer, what do they do? they have a little knowleadge of programming, a little bit of networking and a little bit of server mantainance, that's what network engineer also do, but with more knowledge in server, networking and also security. This data is weird, you can see system engineering starting at 72k and networking at 56k and i dont know about that sincerely, because they have the same functions plus networkers have that security aspect that is growing massively. Also theres not much networkers/cybersecurity ti out there, theres alot of opportuniy and better salarys, im tired to hear that programming has a bright future, when nowadays everyone wants to be a programmer and youre competing against so much people, that is making the salarys low and hard to find jobs too.
ChemE grad here! Def recommend going with something broad like ChemE, MechE, or EE! 👍🏻 You can always minor in more specific engineering disciplines. I did a minor in Biomedical engineering on top of my BS in ChemE :)
I'm an electrical technician and I make more than the nuclear engineer. Kind of sad if you think about it. If your curious, I make $97,000 a year and only work 5-6 days of overtime every year. My highest level of education is associates degree. I'm a 3 time drop out from a university. I've done alright.
@@mikeclaps just do your degree bro.Civil engineers have the most job stability and never have to worry abt finding jobs since their expertise is needed in every single country,state and towns.Also they can open up their own businesses and you can also get govt jobs with this degree easily which would set your life for good.
@@Jtx620hi if a civil or mechanical engineer graduates with their respective degrees and decided they want to change discipline in 5 years, can they do a degree in the alternative discipline? Additionally would a civil engineer have to sit the whole 3/4 years studying mechanical or could they do it in 1-2 years? The same for mechanical to civil if you know? For uk.
I’m currently enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin for civil engineering. I’m considering switching to Aerospace engineering. Is it worth it? I feel like there aren’t as many opportunities in it and civil is more broad and available in every part of the world. I really can’t decide…
@@xy4611 its one diploma and it say my degree is "Computer and Electrical Engineering". Id feel comfortable with a job in either field, but at the moment I have a server side programming job
Electrical engineers have a slower than average job outlook (3%) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So why then in this video is it considered S-tier?
@@Rudenbehr wouldn't it make more sense to just get a cs degree if that's your end goal? or a degree relating to whatever it is that person is trying to branch out as? You guys are out here taking the long way around lol
@@joelmatus9442 because you have options of getting into software + computer hardware + electrical + electronics. You DONT know what your end goal will be in 4 years, it is better to keep your options open
Civil engineering is one of the most flexible engineering degrees 😂😂and that pay is low I say starting out is 65k+ entry level I’m a civil major and the jobs I’m looking towards post graduation and internships is starting at 70k+ but I’m going construction management route rather than design
It is likely because many software engineers get their degree in computer science, not software engineering specifically. My school alone has a few hundred CS graduates annually
New fan and really like your channel. Seeing if you could make a video about the best degrees to climb the corporate ladder to C Suite level positions or something similar.
I honestly wish I would have gone for mechatronics instead of IE. Since I graduated in '08 I couldn't find any engineering jobs and stopped looking; eventually getting into CSR/tech support for AT&T and Arris/Motorola. At best, the $32k in student loan debt has gotten me a $1/hr differential on positions that were grossly underpaid anyways. Even if I went into Civil Engineering, I would have been state employed a decade ago. MechE would have been way better for me. I can't find a position that uses my IE with minor Math/physics and 15 years out of practice; best I can hope for is picking up handyman services at 1/3 the cost.
The civil engineering degree will get you a job as a superintendent with no real world experience. Depending on what company you get hired on at will start u out at 125k a year but it will top out at 150k a year from what I have seen working in the field as a lineman who has met people who went to school for the degree. I can become a superintendent without the degree but you have to have more requirements met and experience
Could you do a videos on master’s level programs in niche areas of software engineering: -Artificial intelligence -Data Science - UX/UI - Computational linguistics, natural language processing, or human-language technology (from my research, these are three names for the same thing. This is what I want to go for eventually. I am currently doing a BS in computer science). -Human-computer interaction -robotics and autonomous systems -biomedical informatics Etc
Please add Automobile Engineering on ur tier lists, I'm currently studying Mechanical Automobile Engineering, which is a degree in my country that teaches u both Mechanical and Automobile Engineering, and I'm unsure which to follow for my masters, if i get Masters on Mechanical or on Automobile
What do you want to do for your career? I am in the automotive industry and can provide some insight if you have some vision on what you want to be doing in 20 years
What do you think about robotic engineer (master)? - Guess you could put it under mechantronics, but it is not purely mechantronics either. Combination of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. I Norway the program for robotic engineer is 5 years (master), and you can not take a bachelor in it, but you can take a bachelor in mechantronics. So keeping that in mind means i will be done in 2028 (If i get in). (Bahelor in Norway are 3 years, not 4 as in the US)
I am now finishing an intergrated Masters program (5 years) as well in Electrical and Computer Engineering and my focus is robotics. The basic principles and theorems used in robotics come from control systems theory, algorithms and programming. Mechanics are important as well and they are exlpored in dedicated mechanics courses and introdactory robotics course. You need to understand them and be comfortable with them but they are not vital part of the design process. Basically there are some standards that you need to be able to implement in order to program the robot and its automatic control systems. The design of a mechanically optimal joint for example is mostly the job of a mechanical engineer. The robotics engineer needs to able to understand its function (physicaly and mathematicaly) and implement in the robot's software. The same is also true about electronics. The robotics engineer does not usually design the electronic hardware -for example the sensors- of the robot but needs to able to understand what they do and how they do it.
Here in my country Civil Engineer id the second highest paid degree just after medicine. I guess it might be because in the us they build their houses with wood, but i guess this tier its closed to the us
I feel like some of the salary ranges are off. If you’re studying nuclear engineering I can tell ya my dad who’s a nuclear engineer at constellation energy makes around 170k. Obviously he’s far into his career but it’s good to know if you think the high end of 140k isn’t enough 🤷♂️
My son is deliberating between Colorado School of mines and University of Wisconsin Madison . Exact engineering major not yet defined. Please share your recommendation please!
im actually to a community college to get a computer information systems degree in january or may, im just saving up enough money to buy a 5K CAR so i can drive to school instead of using uber. can i get your opinion on these majors. 1. programing 2. animation 3. computer engineering technology 4. architecture. 5. computer science. im willing to put in the hard work
Hey have you considered talking about Geomatics Engineering? It's a very different engineering program which has been on the rise for the past few decades which focuses on location science. Basically things like satellites, GPS, surveying, mapping, laser scans etc. It's such a cool field but nobody on the internet talks about it!
They both require you to work hard, I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just depends on what seems more interesting. You like working with hardware or software or both. Computer Science (software) Computer Systems Engineering (both) Computer Engineering (hardware)
Computer science for money. Electrical engineering for like 70% of CS money but significantly more prestige and job security (you won’t be discriminated when older, and you won’t have to constantly learn new technology).
For Electrical Engineer degree, you have chance to learn some basic of software (MATLAB), computer science (C, C++, C# program, embedded...), VHLC project, system engineer (PLC, PIR, PID...), Nuclear (high voltage 137kV), electronic (low-voltage), Mechanical (battery), app developer (some projects you build your own app), RF engineer ( Bluetooth, wifi, RF frequency...) etc., or you can get PE and FE, HVAC, certificate if you passed exam, and you can work for others engineer if you don't like EE. CS makes a lot of money. EE makes a lot of money if you got right career, most careers less money than CS.
@user-qo1cv2gg9t 0 seconds ago Civil engineering is a very broad field. I'm a civil engineer, P.E., specialized in industrial structural design and I make 60% more base salary than the systems engineers tier S. I'm not in management and I don't own my own company. Anyone (almost) can get an engineering degree, it's what you do with it that makes the difference. I love my chosen field. I can go on Google Earth and see my designs. Other designs are inside a pipe or a copper cable. Just my opinion.
When people talk about electrical engineering, do they include electronic engineering? I know they're pretty related, but do they share the same stats?
it's actually called electrics and electronics engineering in my country, they're not separated. i heard that the electrical engineering is a broder field that it includes most of electronics
@@valeriomz4063 in simple terms, Electrical is engineering with big stuff, like motors generators and transmission power lines etc. Electronics include small stuff like microprocessors/controllers, digital/analog circuits and control systems
Hey guys ! Can anyone give me some information on applied engineering? I’m about to join the program but I don’t know if I would be considered a real engineer once I’m done with the program.
As a Materials Science and Engineering student I feel compelled to comment here because I don’t think this is a very good representation of the field in general. No one major is ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than another and if your goal in a degree is just to make a bunch of money after graduating go into something like Business Information Technology It’s way easier and has comparable salaries to Engineering. You should go into an Engineering discipline because you enjoy the program and this video probably won’t help you very much. If you are generally interested in Engineering but aren’t sure which specific field to go into, most universities will have some sort of primer for freshman Engineering students to help you find out which one you are most interested in. All Engineering fields are unique and interesting, and picking a degree because it has a slightly better average financial forecast instead of picking one that interests you is a good way to set yourself up for burnout. Also, with a few exceptions, I don’t think it’s fair to say that one type of Engineering can easily fill in for another - these fields exist for a reason and it’s because they are specific enough to require specific education and training.
I think he just ranked them based on salaries, demand scores, etc… the video is not that bad for people that are only willing to complete undergrad, but for grad school, especially for PhD, things can be different.
I'm super late, but yeah. This doesn't seem like an in-depth view, he just ranked these based on salary and glossing over how many positions are available in a rough job search. I'm a nuclear engineering student with specialty in Materials science and a lot of people think our field is just a pathway to menial power plant jobs when in reality, you can work in just about anything involving fuel and thermal energy with a NE degree. Many engineering jobs don't even ask for specific engineering degrees, you just need SOME kind of engineering degree that loosely relates to the job requirements. I think people who aren't actually in these fields are just too focused on stats and don't completely know how it actually is like.
Yes, the requirement for software engineers would be reduced heavily as it can do basic code easily therefore a team would require probably 60% less developers.
What about operations research engineering? A lot of the top level schools like Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, USC, and many others offer it as a major.
I'd say Mechatronics since it encompasses electrical, CS and mechanical however you'd obviously need a team of different specialities to make such devices like a physics major, statistics, CS, electrical, mechanical, optical and biomedical, plus a business administration & management, marketing and accounting to make those ideas into a full fledged business. Obviously you can limited the amount of employees by merging similar fields together and hiring people with for example a mechatronics degree which have experience in 3 fields but haven't specialized, assuming you want to start a business if not then pick one of the mentioned degrees above except business related degrees obviously. Even so a supply chain management degree, industrial engineering and perhaps material engineers could even work on technology such as this obvious the SCM degree wouldn't work on the product but rather sourcing ECT.
Hello, i was curious about where does Engineering Physics (I think thats how it is called in english) fit in this tierlist. I am taking that bachelor degree and i dont really know what it is useful for xd (For the specifics im taking "Engenharia Física" in University of Porto).
Olá, sou do Brasil e hoje recebi a notícia de que fui aprovado na UPorto para engenharia física. Quanto à sua pergunta: pesquisei bastante sobre o curso e o que mais me chama atenção é o leque de possibilidades que ele te abre, seja para continuar estudando, seja para trabalho. Por exemplo, caso queiras seguir para um mestrado, pode escolher tanto uma área da física, quanto da engenharia, já que tens conhecimento hábil em ambas as disciplinas. Outro ponto positivo que percebi é que você adquire o maior benefício da área de engenharia e da área de física, isto é, adquires o conhecimento prático que é comum aos engenheiros, bem como desenvolve o lado teórico e rigoroso comum aos físicos. Espero ter ajudado e, se tudo der certo, nos encontramos no campus esse ano!
Hi everyone! I'm power systems analysis engineer (power systems engineer). I have a bachelor's degree that is not recognized in the USA and I do not have any visa to work in the USA. what are the chances USA I can move to work in London as power systems engineer?
Most Mechatronics graduates go on to become what is called Controls Engineers. They deal with lots of automation which includes electrical and mechanical aspects. Their work is also involved with PLC Programming and designing control panels for automated machines. Hope this information helps :)
Looking for advice here, I’m halfway through my degree completion of BS in mechanical engineering and honestly don’t know how I got here. I’m in the military(combat job and not related to the field) and have no intention of getting out. I want to stay in for as long as possible. I’m in my early twenties and have plenty of options. I chose mechanical engineering when I knew nothing about the field and I honestly still don’t know much about it. I know it’s a solid blanket degree. I’m going to continue to be in the military and do school for as long as I can. Currently I think of either getting my masters mechanical engineering or start another degree in something like artificial intelligence. I’m also loosely throwing around the idea of changing my degree to mechatronics. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
i really don't understand your plan here or your goals, but i guess if you want general tips and you like being in the military, ME is great, you may qualify for r&d or maintenance engineer, gets you promoted faster if you have a higher education too, i don't know what you would do with a mechatronics or ai degree and i don't recommande these two

Biosystems Engineering?
I would like to know more about general engineering with major in a field.
Can you please make video on Optical Engineer?
As a Civil-Structural grad 1-yr out of college, I think Civil deserves to have its sub-fields ranked on here as well. Structural is a subtrack of Civil at many schools, and one of the higher paying ones, but I’d like to see its demand and meaning score and how they compare to Civil as a whole.
Completely agree. Environmental and Water systems engineering are key to differentiate. In some cases, mining engineering, my field, is considered civil engineering, so it would be nice to separate them to make me feel special lol
So true, Civil has so many sub-fields and each one has a great carrer individually.
Civil engineering give you a lot of job roles to be in and great salaries as well. Imagine how much can you make if you start your own business after getting the necessary experience. I will put civil engineering a bit higher than a B XD.
The pros of being a bachelor civil engineer is you have a lot of areas to work in like structural, geotechnical, hydraulics, etc... And you never get bore, because every project is different and always has something new to learn.
im interested in both electrical and civil engineering, can you tell me which one is better in your opinion? and also tell me why it's better
@@officialyoake4162 it depends on what you are interested in. But if you like both, I'd say electrical is better since it has better salary. It also has many jobs and you could even do stuff that computer engineers do.
But civil also has positives as the comment above said.
Electrical is better statistically in terms of salary, but it is much more difficult. Both are great careers. It’s more important that you choose which one you will enjoy more.
My Gender engineering degree paid off.
😂
Someone has to make them up. Lol!
To funny
Social studies?
Pun intended?
mechatronics engineering is like 50% mechanical and 50%electrical engineering, at least in Australia, it's an excellent option if you want to do both degrees without doing two degrees
its the same her in US as well
same in Turkiye
Didnt you mean to say 50% electronics engineering? Because wiring a house and wiring a device are different things 😅
are there good career opportunities by doing that degree?
@@sahasanusara929 plenty. I finished in 2021 and am working in the ADAS domain right now working for a big brand of cars.
Biomedical engineering majors if you're worried about your course choice, don't fret!
Most roles in medical engineering aren't going to be called biomedical engineer because that would be a very vague job description for making medical devices. Instead, you will find roles such as mechanical, systems, electrical, design (CAD) and software engineers which you can then apply your degree to any of, assuming you can demonstrate the multidisciplinary skills your course gave you. These roles then work on one aspect of the device as part of a team, rather than one person trying to do all of it.
This means figures are going to be misleading as they only account for the rare situations where your job title will actually be "Biomedical Engineer".
In the medical device sector your degree will give you the edge over people who went into pure mechanical etc. as it shows your dedication to the medical industry to a company, and that you know exactly where you want to be. Just be careful to choose actually decent modules (not just the easy sounding ones) and focus on the knowledge you gained from those specific modules in interviews and on your CV, as biomedical engineering can be very broad.
If it turns out that you don't fancy biomedical after all, I would recommend again focusing on any modules relevant to the degree you want to work in. For example if I wanted to switch to a systems engineering role, I could talk about the modules in systems design and control engineering I've completed in interviews.
It also helps to have projects outside of university, in particular things like Arduino, ESP32 embedded software programming, making games in C#, designing PCBs etc can all show off your passion for another engineering discipline.
I'm currently doing an internship at a multinational medical device company and the R&D department is gigantic, but not one of us is called a biomedical engineer. Personally, my title falls mostly under mechanical engineer. There's also manufacturing engineers and quality assurance engineers, a good few of which have biomedical engineering degrees.
TL;DR Biomedical engineering is a skeleton key to get into any other engineering role in the medical industry, and usually isn't a defined role in itself.
Please like this if you found it helpful to stop a biomedical engineer from dropping out in their final year unnecessarily! :)
Bro this is so helpful I am glad I saw this comment on this video. I am a senior going to college for biomedical major and I am so excited but truly scared and I wanna know what's the best thing I can do right now.
@@emmanuelukwandu Do what makes you happy. The guy in this video doesn't really know what he's talking about anyways - he put software and computer engineering both in S tier based off some ambiguous criteria. Specifically with computer engineering; the pay and meaning scores according to his sources are pretty mid yet it's still in S tier.
how did you land the internship
@@emmanuelukwanduchange majors! The job market is actually scarce. My wife is a biomedical engineer and is location dependent because only certain companies need these roles.
At my university they offer a biomedical engineering certificate rather than degree. So I'm an electrical engineering student, but was given the option during a less busy semester to take an online anatomy course from the university, and then a couple years later take a course in biomedical engineering that related to my main engineering path. For me, electrical, but that course was also offered to mechanical and industrial engineers. Fair compromise if you want to specialize in a more general field and are unsure of what career path you want to take but wouldn't mind having some experience with biomedical stuff to have that option open.

What about Robotics (my favorite)
I graduated with a bachelors in petroleum engineering in 04 and a masters in 2009. I love it, but I would advise anyone who wants to study it to go to school for mechanical or chemical engineering instead and look for internships with oil companies. They're much more adaptable degrees.
can a civil engineer comes in petroleum industry
Hi, I'm a high-school graduate and i wanna ask how good is chemical engineering
I second this, I'm in my senior year of chemical engineering and have 1 year of co-op/internship experience in oil and gas. I have honestly loved my time in the oil and gas industry
Be aware that there are 2 careers called "systems engineer." One is closer to industrial engineering and the other is closer to a systems administrator. This could be skewing the metrics.
Guys, always remember to do what you like and are good at. The best part about engineering degrees is that you will generally get a decent salary no matter what.
Most of us have no clue what we like nor what we’re good at. We just know we’re good at math
@@Naomi-xu4hqFacts
bro, i like architectural engineering and i'm very passion by it but i'm scared to do it because i heard that it's not well paid and there is no work opportunities
@@MohamedamineElhaddad-rj1ez no matter what job or path you end up taking the salary will vary widely from person to person simply cause some people stand out more than others , study the major you really love and aim to stand out in it, don’t put all your focus on the money. You’re allowed to think about it yes but don’t let it be your goal, it will just lead to regret
@@Naomi-xu4hq xD so true
I think it's reasonable that the video is approximately 18 minutes for 18 engineering degrees covered, however, I would like to see the title of each degree on the chart because they are not obvious from the picture for people who want to see the final result at the end without spending almost 20 minutes to get to the point.
Everytime I watch these, I'm more and more convinced that there isn't enough research being done on the field of Civil Engineering and how versatile it is. In terms of jobs, pay and social life.
I also think that it having one of the highest "meaning" scores goes to show how free people feel within the field. Money is great and all in tech, but why stress and hate your job when you can do something more fullfilling and still make just as much? Also, if you go into government jobs, you don't have to work over 40+ weeks often and you still get well pay plus all holidays off and have very amazing benefits + retirement investments ensured.
Agreed!! Civil is literally a huge field, and that does make it extremely versatile!!! And I agree with your money statement!
Civil engineering give you a lot of job roles to be in and great salaries as well. Imagine how much can you make if you start your own business after getting the necessary experience. I will put civil engineering a bit higher than a B XD.

I just started uni for Civil Engineering because of it’s opportunities. You are very flexible, it’s in high demand and it is meaningful. I hope that I make it through this degree.
@@jeycalc6877that’s because most
People don’t get software engineering degrees, they get computer science degrees which is not the same thing- one is in the engineering school while the other is in the arts and sciences school. I did software engineering at a major university and my classes only had 20-30 students in them, with 80%+ of those students being computer science majors.
@@tagtraumerin5077you’re right. I just started my second year in civil. Here in Las Vegas Civil engineering is booming. My dad is an executive VP at his Civil company and he’s telling me that by the time I graduate we are going to be working on the monorail that goes from LV to LA and other southern Cali cities
People always put civil engineering down towards the bottom, but I (a civil engineer) make as much as my electrical engineer boyfriend and my job is in every single city in the world and every county and state. We have management and people skills that most other engineers don’t. We can work our way up very easily and I have experienced absolutely no problem finding jobs wherever I want one. Civil engineering is a very good degree that can lead to a great career. I’m not sure why so many people list other engineering degrees as so much better.
Get a new boyfriend
@@TheRogerhill1234 because he makes as much as a civil engineer?
Are you a poof?
@@TheRogerhill1234bro what are you talking about?
I love hearing this. I live in LA county rn and saw that a civil engineer’s median salary here is ~80,000 which discouraged me. I love the idea and the goal of civil engineering and feel like it would be an amazing job for me. I’m wondering how much school did u go through? Is a bachelors enough?
As one of the people in the marine engineering field, I think that he does not quite understand what we generally do. We are essentially industrial engineers with a specialization in ships. We have completely different licenses than shoreside. Many marine engineering jobs can not be filled with a broad engineering degree, but we have the ability to take industrial engineering jobs
let's not forget that almost all marine engineers have a surplus of vacation days, because the shipping companies don't have enough engineers to have two engineers pr. position, meaning vacation is typically traded for profit.
As someone who studied Mechatronics for a semester and then made the switch to electrical engineering, I can say that mechatronics is interesting and versatile, but it’s limited to only fields where we have mechatronics systems, for example, productionlines, or robotics you only learn basics in college , which makes you under-qualified in each field(mechanical, electrical, software) compared to someone who only studies that field ,because you just don’t go into depth in each field. You just learn enough to be able to work with systems where all these fields meet and that limits you to only that. Maybe the education will be better in a couple of years, but for now I would just recommend to study one field where you want to be better than anyone else.
can't you study JUST mechatronics engineering in general and not switch to other fields?
@@Indocryptic What I assume is the case is that mechatronics teaches you Mechanical, Electrical, and Software engineering in 3-4 years, leading to an underdeveloped knowledge in all 3 fields. I imagine companies that are making products that require all three engineering disciplines, e.g robotics, would hire a team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers to complete the task. Leaving a mechatronics engineer belonging to all three teams, and none at the same time because they're less experienced than everyone else.
@@levizooms ah makes sense.
@@levizooms thats 100% accurate. Excactly what i was trying to say. People believe they can shortcut a tripple major but end up beeing lost when it comes to going into depth in one Field and having to relearn stuff in theire workspace.. which isnt something a company wants from an engineer..
And what do you think about Electrical Engineering?
I major in Chem. Engineering in the Houston area in May, and found a job straight out of school. I earn about 7k a month and overall is really good.
nice. if my uni had chemical engineering, i would have chosen that. i chose electrical.
@@jondo3817 what don't you like about electrical?

Electrical engineer here - amazing career path, you get lots of respect if you're good at your job and get paid really well
How did you manage to get any jobs?
@@ledifyy graduated during Covid (May 2020, couldn’t find a job until March 2021, worked as a dispensary agent from summer to November, basically quit in November to quit smoking and just apply like crazy and study stuff I had learned in school to get up to date on it. Eventually knocked a few interviews out of the park, got 2 offers in February, took the better one.
I did an internship during school as well and just really highlighted my projects. Looked at job descriptions and also studied the stuff they were looking for, for example analog sensors, and data acquisition from the sensors, like ADCs and generating the voltage difference from the sensor (like a Wheatstone bridge), was literally the technical question in my interview. Have a simple resume but tailor it to each job application based on the job description, and make sure you know everything on your resume as they will ask about it. I would put in a good 2 months of doing this like hardcore, and you’ll get something. Although the job market is very bad right now to be honest, like a year ago it was crazy good. But there is still stuff out there and a high demand for EEs in general compared to other disciplines.
@@ledifyy I started at 80k a year which is really high straight out of college, I would aim to negotiate for a minimum 70k/yr. if you get desperate, 60k isnt terrible but that would be the ABSOLUTE LOWEST I would go.

Also a lot of aerospace jobs are based in Florida and Texas, where CoL is much lower. California ehhh not as much
I have studied Mechatronics Engineering...
But to be honest, there is not such jobs as they ask for "Mechatronics Engineers" it's like we have to decide if we want to focus on mechanics, or in software, or in electrical, or try to combine everything as Embedded Systems Engineer...
And by the way...
I was waiting for that on the tier list...
But my be I missed it?
It's in A, but with an asterix*. I am actually styudyign Mechatronics now:)
how is it? would you say theres still lots of job opportunities? looking at mechatronic and robotics
Shout-out to this video that made me decide my future one week before applying to college, I'm a mechanical engineer student now, about to finish my first year of college now lol
New viewer, definitely a decent 90,000 foot view of engineering.
While I’m almost certain the bare minimum of research was done and you can’t condense a life long choice into 18 minutes, I got some ideas on how to better research my career.
Thanks
Engineers progress humanity. In every way possible. Get paid very low. Unfortunately we live in a popularity/sales based world.
Sleeping so hard on mining engineering. Super high paying and much easier than any other field of engineering. I get paid to design under ground explosions blowing up rock to get gold. Nothing better than that
Im an ECE looking to get into that field, any companies I should try?
how hard was it to get a job also by super high paying can you gimme some numbers curoius as i might try it
What my college does is mechatronics engineering as a minor that can be added with a tailored set of tech electives to a mechanical engineering degree with no extra course load. That’s the path I’m doing because it allows broad and specific categories in one path.
can you tell me more about systems engineering >3
Environmental Engineering is def on the rise. I do not know about the states but in my country their is a huge deman for em, my class was the first one to graduate with local Env Engineering courses and we all found jobs easily as before they had to bring in experts from other countries, and the sustainability and green energy sectors are in desperate need of more people in this field as more are investing in it. Their is a lot of potential for it.
I should be noted that with Computer Engineering you can actually do both Software and Electrical Engineering jobs, so the opportunities are vast. At the entry level it is a pretty common degree for both.
Electrical engineering is a very broad field. Computer engineers focus on the digital side of it. You still won't be able to do analog circuit design, power engineering and microwave engineering
@@deltaiii3158 i dont know in the US but here where i live, in computer ingeneering we have electronical subjects, and analog circuit designs subjects as well.

Hey it would be really cool if you gave welding engineering some exposure. It’s not well known, but I honestly I’d rank it a A-tier major and not enough people know about it
Mechatronic engineering should be in the S tear in my opinion because it in demand and newly graduates makes about 50K per month
I hardly doubt they make that much, did you mean 5000? Or 50000 per year
50k per yr
If you do EE you should really get a minor in CS. You will likely be programming in the real world and most EEs don’t do enough programming.
EE student here, what kind of programming like MATlab and python?
I honestly don't see how software engineering can be S with that abysmal meaning score. I'd rather make slightly less money and actually enjoy work.
It’s important to remember that while civil engineering is generally paid less, they are also the most who work in the government.
So while you get small checks, you get fat stacks in benefits and is generally regarded as the least stressful engineering field.
I've heard there's a lot more bureaucracy than other engineering fields, harder to move up in the ranks due to old school mentality and they expect you to grind for low pay at first, and you also need to get a bunch of certifications to move up. I've heard the industry being described as frustrating. But obv I'm just pointing out the negatives right now.
@@sachinpowers2067 i find it funny that i agree and experienced it myself most of your comment through my career in civil engineer eventhough there's a high chance that we're from different country.i guess bad system and working environment of construction project around the world are the same,huh.(pardon my english)
As a part time government employee, it really is the lifestyle. You take more breaks than you actually work. My boss makes 80K a year and she sits in her office all day and signs documents for staff. She then goes up front and just talks for 4 hours straight before going home. That's it.
You will never have to worry about losing your job. Thousands of engineers were laid off this past month from tech companies. My friend went from making 120K a year to nothing overnight, he was called into the office and HR fired him the next day. If you go the private industry you will never have guaranteed security, choose the government and you will be set for life.
There are lines to progress in the government, and while entry positions don't pay as much, your potential for senior level positions is off the charts. Another friend of mine, his dad, has 0 degrees, some electrical technical certification, and after many years in the government is making six figures. If you have the initiative to progress, the government will allow it.

What careers can you go into? Also how different is it from materials and molecular engineering?
For network engineering, there is a high chance you can get a job without even having a degree, Just certifications like CCNA/CCNP etc. The salary might not be as high at first, but you also dont need to go into student debt. Right now im 25 with no degree and I make 70k as a network engineer.

@@diablo3053 Because there are a lot of really crappy support jobs with networking with the title "Network Engineer" - If you get into some high skilled positions you can make bank with networking.

@@diablo3053 it's not low, you have way more options as a network engineer. The video is kinda odd and maybe doesn't understand totally what does networking engineer mean, but it's almost the same as system engineer, what do they do? they have a little knowleadge of programming, a little bit of networking and a little bit of server mantainance, that's what network engineer also do, but with more knowledge in server, networking and also security.
This data is weird, you can see system engineering starting at 72k and networking at 56k and i dont know about that sincerely, because they have the same functions plus networkers have that security aspect that is growing massively. Also theres not much networkers/cybersecurity ti out there, theres alot of opportuniy and better salarys, im tired to hear that programming has a bright future, when nowadays everyone wants to be a programmer and youre competing against so much people, that is making the salarys low and hard to find jobs too.

@@Anonymoose66G probably lazy 🦥
@@melonwho8141 probaly broke. Whats wrong with public university lol
So the only motivation you guys have to choose a career is the amount of money that is able to privide?
Electrical engineers have a slower than average job outlook (3%) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So why then in this video is it considered S-tier?
Probably because of its flexibility. It'll look good to other jobs outside of just electrical engineering.
True i was looking at that in my bureu statistic book too.
Electrical engineers can branch out to more software based jobs
@@Rudenbehr wouldn't it make more sense to just get a cs degree if that's your end goal? or a degree relating to whatever it is that person is trying to branch out as? You guys are out here taking the long way around lol
@@joelmatus9442 because you have options of getting into software + computer hardware + electrical + electronics. You DONT know what your end goal will be in 4 years, it is better to keep your options open
Civil engineering is one of the most flexible engineering degrees 😂😂and that pay is low I say starting out is 65k+ entry level I’m a civil major and the jobs I’m looking towards post graduation and internships is starting at 70k+ but I’m going construction management route rather than design
I can't believe that there's only 1000 graduates per year in Software Engineering
That's because most are self taught, coding is a relatively stay at home profession.
@@pyrotechnicalbirdman5356 Are you saying that most software engineers don't have a degree?
@@Goooogle I don't really know, but i would guess so.
@@Goooogle Yes, probably, you can learn by yourself that.
It is likely because many software engineers get their degree in computer science, not software engineering specifically. My school alone has a few hundred CS graduates annually
About agriculture courses next video please. I'm watching your videos from Philippines
I have a friend that's a Civil Engineer and then became an Architect. The zeroes on his paychecks are absurd.
New fan and really like your channel. Seeing if you could make a video about the best degrees to climb the corporate ladder to C Suite level positions or something similar.
I honestly wish I would have gone for mechatronics instead of IE. Since I graduated in '08 I couldn't find any engineering jobs and stopped looking; eventually getting into CSR/tech support for AT&T and Arris/Motorola. At best, the $32k in student loan debt has gotten me a $1/hr differential on positions that were grossly underpaid anyways. Even if I went into Civil Engineering, I would have been state employed a decade ago. MechE would have been way better for me. I can't find a position that uses my IE with minor Math/physics and 15 years out of practice; best I can hope for is picking up handyman services at 1/3 the cost.
I feel you, IE is totally garbage

hello Shane..please help us talk about “computational biology major’’ or “bioinformatics”..the career prospect and the vision and job demands pleae
Hi Shane,Can you kindly do a review on Biosystems Engineering and give as info about it in the current and future job markets for Engineering courses
In my country, most systems engineers usually go into software development, some get into consulting.
I clicked with high hopes for mechatronics and automotive engineering, let's see how this turns out🗿
Great video Thumbs Up👍
Im a refrigeration mechanic and i took home over 100k for 2023. I've always wanted to be a civil engineer but im worried i won't be making as much.
Use the money you make wisely and pursue your dream
The civil engineering degree will get you a job as a superintendent with no real world experience. Depending on what company you get hired on at will start u out at 125k a year but it will top out at 150k a year from what I have seen working in the field as a lineman who has met people who went to school for the degree. I can become a superintendent without the degree but you have to have more requirements met and experience
You missed Eletronics Engineering (i dropped out of it, but it was pretty good) and Automotive Engineering.
Could you do a videos on master’s level programs in niche areas of software engineering:
-Artificial intelligence
-Data Science
- UX/UI
- Computational linguistics, natural language processing, or human-language technology (from my research, these are three names for the same thing. This is what I want to go for eventually. I am currently doing a BS in computer science).
-Human-computer interaction
-robotics and autonomous systems
-biomedical informatics
Etc
Please add Automobile Engineering on ur tier lists, I'm currently studying Mechanical Automobile Engineering, which is a degree in my country that teaches u both Mechanical and Automobile Engineering, and I'm unsure which to follow for my masters, if i get Masters on Mechanical or on Automobile
What do you want to do for your career? I am in the automotive industry and can provide some insight if you have some vision on what you want to be doing in 20 years
I would do transport engineer if I wanted a master's, but civil is good for now
What do you think about robotic engineer (master)? - Guess you could put it under mechantronics, but it is not purely mechantronics either. Combination of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. I Norway the program for robotic engineer is 5 years (master), and you can not take a bachelor in it, but you can take a bachelor in mechantronics. So keeping that in mind means i will be done in 2028 (If i get in). (Bahelor in Norway are 3 years, not 4 as in the US)
I am now finishing an intergrated Masters program (5 years) as well in Electrical and Computer Engineering and my focus is robotics. The basic principles and theorems used in robotics come from control systems theory, algorithms and programming. Mechanics are important as well and they are exlpored in dedicated mechanics courses and introdactory robotics course. You need to understand them and be comfortable with them but they are not vital part of the design process. Basically there are some standards that you need to be able to implement in order to program the robot and its automatic control systems. The design of a mechanically optimal joint for example is mostly the job of a mechanical engineer. The robotics engineer needs to able to understand its function (physicaly and mathematicaly) and implement in the robot's software. The same is also true about electronics. The robotics engineer does not usually design the electronic hardware -for example the sensors- of the robot but needs to able to understand what they do and how they do it.
Here in my country Civil Engineer id the second highest paid degree just after medicine. I guess it might be because in the us they build their houses with wood, but i guess this tier its closed to the us
Which country ? I was curious.
@@knowledgelovers6803 Id imagine it's The Netherlands or Egypt, Ethiopia or something I have no clue.
I feel like some of the salary ranges are off. If you’re studying nuclear engineering I can tell ya my dad who’s a nuclear engineer at constellation energy makes around 170k. Obviously he’s far into his career but it’s good to know if you think the high end of 140k isn’t enough 🤷♂️
I'd like to see an additional category that shows the expected growth of demand for each degree
Glad to see I’m not going through all these hard times in college for free and that Software engineering is actually good
My son is deliberating between Colorado School of mines and University of Wisconsin Madison . Exact engineering major not yet defined. Please share your recommendation please!
im actually to a community college to get a computer information systems degree in january or may, im just saving up enough money to buy a 5K CAR so i can drive to school instead of using uber. can i get your opinion on these majors. 1. programing 2. animation 3. computer engineering technology 4. architecture. 5. computer science. im willing to put in the hard work
Shane overlooked mining engineering
Could you please speak about Electronic Engineering?
I am definitely interested in nuclear engineering. Australia doesn't have nuclear power but it will soon have nuclear submarines.
Hey have you considered talking about Geomatics Engineering? It's a very different engineering program which has been on the rise for the past few decades which focuses on location science. Basically things like satellites, GPS, surveying, mapping, laser scans etc. It's such a cool field but nobody on the internet talks about it!
they really slapping 'engineering' on anything these days huh
@@armanigenes sounds like a analytics with extra syllables
Should I get an elec eng degree or a computer science degree? Which one is better objectively if you don't consider difficulty?
They both require you to work hard, I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just depends on what seems more interesting. You like working with hardware or software or both.
Computer Science (software)
Computer Systems Engineering (both)
Computer Engineering (hardware)
Wouldn't that make computer systems engineering superior then, because it allows you to get jobs in either field?
Computer science for money. Electrical engineering for like 70% of CS money but significantly more prestige and job security (you won’t be discriminated when older, and you won’t have to constantly learn new technology).
@@Rudenbehr
What do you mean more prestige, and why are older people discriminated against in IT?
For Electrical Engineer degree, you have chance to learn some basic of software (MATLAB), computer science (C, C++, C# program, embedded...), VHLC project, system engineer (PLC, PIR, PID...), Nuclear (high voltage 137kV), electronic (low-voltage), Mechanical (battery), app developer (some projects you build your own app), RF engineer ( Bluetooth, wifi, RF frequency...) etc., or you can get PE and FE, HVAC, certificate if you passed exam, and you can work for others engineer if you don't like EE.
CS makes a lot of money. EE makes a lot of money if you got right career, most careers less money than CS.
Civil or chemical engineering.... which option to opt

Civil engineering is a very broad field. I'm a civil engineer, P.E., specialized in industrial structural design and I make 60% more base salary than the systems engineers tier S. I'm not in management and I don't own my own company. Anyone (almost) can get an engineering degree, it's what you do with it that makes the difference. I love my chosen field. I can go on Google Earth and see my designs. Other designs are inside a pipe or a copper cable. Just my opinion.
When people talk about electrical engineering, do they include electronic engineering? I know they're pretty related, but do they share the same stats?
what are the differences?
it's actually called electrics and electronics engineering in my country, they're not separated. i heard that the electrical engineering is a broder field that it includes most of electronics
@@valeriomz4063 in simple terms, Electrical is engineering with big stuff, like motors generators and transmission power lines etc. Electronics include small stuff like microprocessors/controllers, digital/analog circuits and control systems
Mining engineering review pls : )
Hey guys ! Can anyone give me some information on applied engineering? I’m about to join the program but I don’t know if I would be considered a real engineer once I’m done with the program.
As a Materials Science and Engineering student I feel compelled to comment here because I don’t think this is a very good representation of the field in general. No one major is ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than another and if your goal in a degree is just to make a bunch of money after graduating go into something like Business Information Technology It’s way easier and has comparable salaries to Engineering. You should go into an Engineering discipline because you enjoy the program and this video probably won’t help you very much. If you are generally interested in Engineering but aren’t sure which specific field to go into, most universities will have some sort of primer for freshman Engineering students to help you find out which one you are most interested in. All Engineering fields are unique and interesting, and picking a degree because it has a slightly better average financial forecast instead of picking one that interests you is a good way to set yourself up for burnout. Also, with a few exceptions, I don’t think it’s fair to say that one type of Engineering can easily fill in for another - these fields exist for a reason and it’s because they are specific enough to require specific education and training.
I think he just ranked them based on salaries, demand scores, etc… the video is not that bad for people that are only willing to complete undergrad, but for grad school, especially for PhD, things can be different.
I'm super late, but yeah. This doesn't seem like an in-depth view, he just ranked these based on salary and glossing over how many positions are available in a rough job search. I'm a nuclear engineering student with specialty in Materials science and a lot of people think our field is just a pathway to menial power plant jobs when in reality, you can work in just about anything involving fuel and thermal energy with a NE degree. Many engineering jobs don't even ask for specific engineering degrees, you just need SOME kind of engineering degree that loosely relates to the job requirements. I think people who aren't actually in these fields are just too focused on stats and don't completely know how it actually is like.
Could chatgpt and it’s implications for the future hurt the value of software engeneering majors?
Yes, the requirement for software engineers would be reduced heavily as it can do basic code easily therefore a team would require probably 60% less developers.
@@jamalhasan6624Are you a CS major?

It will damage jobs that only involve with coding, probably not so much in programming for now. Only for now

Which engineering is best for a person who wants to make their own gaming devices, Healthcare devices, and electronics?
Prolly CE
I'd say Mechatronics since it encompasses electrical, CS and mechanical however you'd obviously need a team of different specialities to make such devices like a physics major, statistics, CS, electrical, mechanical, optical and biomedical, plus a business administration & management, marketing and accounting to make those ideas into a full fledged business. Obviously you can limited the amount of employees by merging similar fields together and hiring people with for example a mechatronics degree which have experience in 3 fields but haven't specialized, assuming you want to start a business if not then pick one of the mentioned degrees above except business related degrees obviously. Even so a supply chain management degree, industrial engineering and perhaps material engineers could even work on technology such as this obvious the SCM degree wouldn't work on the product but rather sourcing ECT.
@@Anonymoose66G mechatronics is basically ce
Hello, i was curious about where does Engineering Physics (I think thats how it is called in english) fit in this tierlist. I am taking that bachelor degree and i dont really know what it is useful for xd (For the specifics im taking "Engenharia Física" in University of Porto).
Sounds like a subset of Mech Eng or maybe Civ Eng.
Olá, sou do Brasil e hoje recebi a notícia de que fui aprovado na UPorto para engenharia física. Quanto à sua pergunta: pesquisei bastante sobre o curso e o que mais me chama atenção é o leque de possibilidades que ele te abre, seja para continuar estudando, seja para trabalho. Por exemplo, caso queiras seguir para um mestrado, pode escolher tanto uma área da física, quanto da engenharia, já que tens conhecimento hábil em ambas as disciplinas. Outro ponto positivo que percebi é que você adquire o maior benefício da área de engenharia e da área de física, isto é, adquires o conhecimento prático que é comum aos engenheiros, bem como desenvolve o lado teórico e rigoroso comum aos físicos. Espero ter ajudado e, se tudo der certo, nos encontramos no campus esse ano!

Most Mechatronics graduates go on to become what is called Controls Engineers. They deal with lots of automation which includes electrical and mechanical aspects. Their work is also involved with PLC Programming and designing control panels for automated machines. Hope this information helps :)

I have to say this, planning and designing infrastructures is an architect's job. Know your place civil engineers.
Computer engineering is so OP, in Spain I have several friends that have NOT finished the degree and found a goodly paid job.
Looking for advice here, I’m halfway through my degree completion of BS in mechanical engineering and honestly don’t know how I got here. I’m in the military(combat job and not related to the field) and have no intention of getting out. I want to stay in for as long as possible. I’m in my early twenties and have plenty of options. I chose mechanical engineering when I knew nothing about the field and I honestly still don’t know much about it. I know it’s a solid blanket degree. I’m going to continue to be in the military and do school for as long as I can. Currently I think of either getting my masters mechanical engineering or start another degree in something like artificial intelligence. I’m also loosely throwing around the idea of changing my degree to mechatronics. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
i really don't understand your plan here or your goals, but i guess if you want general tips and you like being in the military, ME is great, you may qualify for r&d or maintenance engineer, gets you promoted faster if you have a higher education too, i don't know what you would do with a mechatronics or ai degree and i don't recommande these two
