    Right now I am finishing my second year of IE. When I first started I hated math and physics and felt like it hated me back. I was also very sure that I am very bad at it. But soon I realized that i just lacked the basics. After A LOT of hard work I have passed all of my exams successfully and never failed a course. So I agree with this guy, there is no one that is actually bad at math. Some just need to try a bit harder.

    This has been SO helpful. I'm a 36 year old returning student in my first year of general engineering courses. It's been really hard finding any information on IE, the other people in my STEM courses I've bonded with who are following the same general path (physics with calculus, calculus series, chemistry, general engineering etc) are all going to Mechanical or Civil. People never know what IE is, and sometimes it gets old in my own head trying to explain it to others.
    The way you just laid it all out though is what I've felt and seen before from IE when I've talked to my future university and this really helped to push me again! The math is challenging, it absolutely pushes you to the edge and forces you to think in a different way than you have before. I'll admit there are times I think I'm not cut out for engineering simply because math doesn't come to me easily and I have to go through so many problems to understand concepts. But in the end it's amazing to see it click and knowing I have a future ahead of me is worth the struggle. Thank you!

Happens every year here at my school haha.

    Anyone can learn and be good at math. It takes time, patience and you need to really grasp the basics and fundamentals. Eventually you'll begin to like it and everything you can do with math.

    No one is really bad at math. It's simply lack of training in the fundamentals much like the Belt Ranking System in the Martial Arts. If all else is equal, you cannot suddenly become a Black Belt w/o starting out as a White Belt, then Yellow Belt, Orange Belt, & so forth. Similar to math, you must start out with Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Pre-Calc, Calc, & upwards. You gradually progress until you become so proficient at it that you ultimately become a friggin' Master! Patience & Focus grasshopper!

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  3 года назад

      Love this metaphor! I believe people who say they’re bad at math (including myself previously), are people who were Orange Belts (in Pre-Calc), but didn’t master or even completely learn all the fundamentals that you should to pass the White and Yellow belts. But in our education system, many students still go on to the next class to just get by, and it hurts them at the end of the day, because they have a lot of gaps in information, making them believe they’re just “bad at math”.

  • @ItsNotAllRainbows_and_Unicorns
    @ItsNotAllRainbows_and_Unicorns 6 лет назад +16

    That's the issue I faced, not my mathematics ability (I am quite good at it), but the aspect of marrying engineering with psychology, human factors, design. One can throw in architecture and interior design as well, since those disciplines do not just deal with aesthetics per say, but how humans interact with the created environment. One can throw in wayfinding. For example signs on highway and especially in airports. How do people find their way around. What if they are in a certain terminal and they need to et to another. How long, what would be the quickest route to take, which gates. Some airports are good at it, and then there are airports I have been overseas where if you didn't get their early, you would end up missing a flight. Another aspect is when people arrive at an airport and wonder what transportation to take to get to a particular part of the city. Train, bus? Charles de Gaulle, what an atrocity. I have found people waiting for a bus when they just had to walk 100 yards. Since, I had prior knowledge of the airport I pointed it out to them as far as where to go. Some were grateful others were embarrassed.
    That was one program I wish UMass Lowell had. The school was dry. I tried the physics department. Boring as hell. Then the ME department. Nothing ingenious going on,. Definitely no personal touch. I switched to mathematics, since they allowed you to take a number of other courses. Still felt disenfranchised with the whole deal.

    I really wanna thank you for introducing me further into this field that I heard about only 2 3 days ago and I feel like it' the sweet spot I'd been waiting for. I'm going into my final year of computer science engineering and I do love the fact that I'm doing engineering but it's not necessarily the field I like. I've always been interested in art and buisiness and was planning on going for my MBA because I wanted to shift to the business side of things. But I didn't wanna leave my teaching side either. So I thought maybe I should pursue masters in an engineering field but I can't think of continuingcomputer science for my master. Industrial engineering seems like the solution to it. Do you think doing masters in IE would help me transition into this industry instead? And also, if I should do masters in IE or go into specialisation like doing Masters in Supply chain management or something? Apologies for the really long question!

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  6 лет назад

      Wow yeah, this is a great question! I would definitely investigate both sides of this! Make sure to go and talk with advisors or other people who have knowledge between masters in IE or MBA. But the masters degree in IE is very popular for a lot of people looking to be projects managers or to add versatility to your degree. Some of my friends currently in the IE masters program are EE, ME, Petroleum, etc.
      You’ll be able to take project management courses, operations research (this is essentially a supply chain type of course that uses a scientific approach.. a lot of people specialize in this type of course to work at FedEx, ups, Amazon etc.), along with several other IE based coursework.
      I hope this helps! And I’m glad to hear this is potentially the sweet spot you’ve been seeking!

      Me too lmao.. and I’ve found doing 2 things help dramatically.
      One thing i did was started studying regularly for these classes.. i use to think i could just study the week before the exam or test and i would pass.. that’s not how it works in college tho.. so i began regularly studying every other day for those science / math classes. There is no gettting around it.. just gotta learn to start doing it.
      But the 2nd thing that i started doing was start talking to other students who have the class or who had it before and find all the old tests / homework’s for the class! This just comes down to having good connections in your major. There is usually an online drive of some sort that people have created to share material! This part is key 🔑
      Hope this helps!

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад +1

      Hahaha, thx. New fav comment for sure ^^, and Hmmmm. Keep in mind that the work varies widely regardless of major, but a quick summary for each would be:
      - EE's could be circuit design, component design for larger pieces, also working with products that need to become powered or wired for the 21st century. A example would be the "internet of things" age is coming, where everything is connected together (like our fridge now is wifi compatible). So EE's are going to be necessary at large and small companies to begin designing and bringing these things to life.
      - IE's are people who understand systems, and structure in the broadest perspective. We can look at a very simple job being done in a workshop or office and be able to tell how long it should take using techniques and then scale that throughout an entire company to develop budgets and aid forecasting for business. It's also a VERY good route if you're interested in being a part of upper management in a company because you are going to fully understand the operations side of the business. This also tends to be a great major for people who want their strong social skills to help that work. Often times you'll be working in teams (very strong chance you could be leading the team).

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад +2

      So that response was way longer than anticipated.. but i don't think it's too late to switch (even if credits don't transfer) regardless of which you want to do. I know everyones situation is different, but if you're into engineering I think it's important to finish with that. Some people stop part way cause it's "taking too long", but it literally will effect the rest of your life. From pay, to people you interact with, and even how you see the world. Blah blah blah, alright I'm done, hope you see what I'm saying.

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад

      You are on a great path my friend. IE is going to be a great addition to your toolbox.. Mechatronics is much more technical than most of IE depending on what your focus is. You're going to get the opportunity to hopefully learn more about management and understanding "big data" and analytics. All the mechatronics stuff gave you understanding of details and design of products and how they work, now you'll get a full picture from design to manufacturing to scalability to supply chain. I have several friends in MS for IE from other countries. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to hit me up. Best of luck

    Does IE incorporate business? I plan on going to grad school and I was wondering does IE prepare students similar to a MBA? Does IE prepare you to work at a corporation and other business environments? I plan on majoring in web design and development and a minor in Computer Science. I feel like IE is more versatile. I dont want to be just limited to the technology field. Can you give me some examples of different job occupations/environments IE's work? Thank You!

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад +2

      +Ang Robins 110%, at WVU (where I go) you can actually do a 5 year program for IE and MBA together. Industrial engineers are often in the "executive suites" of companies because they have a clear eye for operations in companies among other things. If you just google IE's that are CEO's or VP's you'll find a lot.. including Tim Cook who's the current CEO of Apple. You can also go the tech route in IE though. It truly is the possibly the most versatile major in college today.

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад +1

      Yup yup yup, I completely understand. Idk, it's a tough situation because it depends on a lot of things like: How much do you dislike IE, Is there a way you can see the good parts in it and still work towards something creative? Is there another degree you already have in mind switching too?
      My big thing is that, there are so many other degrees that are kinda cool, but don't teach you as much AND aren't worth as much. My perspective on it is that if you are a creative who ALSO has the ability to be good with understand systems and how shit works at a macro level, then do your best to power through it. Because you can always get the IE degree which shows people you have a great understanding of day in and day out operations of a business, and then you being a superior creative is such a huge thing on top of that. Just remember that you aren't going to be looking for "typical" IE jobs that they talk about all the time in class. you're going to be looking for something you can make your own.

    • @yas4409
      @yas4409 7 лет назад

      Yeah. That's really my problem. It is so fucking discouraging when I look up the jobs that are connected to IE, like never in a hundred years I see myself doing certain things, but I do am sure that I'll find something nice about it, with me it's more that I need something to do it for, like I need some kind of motivation. But you're right, IE will teach me a lot and it will open a lot of doors since they offer a lot of different insights. Thank you for your amazing and fast response! I'll keep this one in mind and I am really looking forward to more of your vids! Thank you a lot.

    • @KyleGillis
      @KyleGillis  7 лет назад +1

      Absolutely, and just to give you a little more of an idea. Look at this IE as a great foundational piece that will give you all the background and understanding you need to know for how shit works. Now you can do whatever it is you want to layer on top of it. Literally ANYTHING. You could be interested in fashion, social media, marketing, entrepreneurship, whatever. And you can use these to make yourself more a more unique IE.
      A good example is I just got back from a trip to Boston where I helped a particular fashion company at several of their stores understand what process is faster for bringing in clothes and moving them out to the sales floor for customers to buy. It's all about how creative you can be with creating your job.
      Good luck!

    I will start researching about this now but Industrial Engineering is the name of program? is it bachelor's? (also is it prefer to have master's because it is so competitive or idk)
    I wanted to study human computer interaction (HCI) in order to study UX design but I also thought studying only phycology + marketing thing is good but may not be the best, because engineer, marketing or some kinda other major/skill can combined together for UX design in the future.
    And marketing is too general but this industrial engineering sounds cool.
    However I only took math 11 and I'm good at logically thinking but not educated in math.
    Do you think I can study this while im in university transfer program and prepare for my bachelor which is HCI? or this needs to be my bachelor and it is unrelated/hard to change to UX design from this?
    I would be okay to get a job about industrial engineer first then change it to UX design one day.
    I have an idea of my own business so maybe studying this might make me wanna be a entrepreneur.

      100% man. Friends of mine who were interested in engineering Freshman year but couldn't wrap their head around the math switched majors early on - which is understandable if they weren't really sure if they wanted to do engineering. But for anyone who thinks they really want to do it, it's worth taking an extra year (or going back) to finish the degree. Many people just think about the money, but don't consider a lot of the intangible benefits like having a better understanding of the world, and what you end up doing when you're 60, 70 or 80.

      This is true, but none the less the skills learned prove very valuable in the world. Don’t get caught up in all the titles and people saying one is better or one is worse and all that.
      IE’s are super valuable for many many reasons and are needed in all industries. The skills learned in IE are a cross section of a strong business understanding and a broad engineering understanding. This means you understand the front end business and the back end operations. By the end of an IE degree you’ll understand everything from starting a business, to planning for building physical structures, to growing and scaling production lines. Very versatile.
