After a whole year of graduating with a bachelor's in computer science and working for a small tech company, I never thought I'd want to go back to school for mechanical engineering... I hate sitting in a office all day typing away.
@@אהלןסהלן Back when I was in college I was sold this dream of working at google or some fang company that had free food and high stable paying salaries. After my 3rd year in college I knew it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but it was too late to switch my major, I was to far gone. By the time I was finishing my last semester, I ran away to my hobbies any chance that I could. Which was working on cars and working out at the rec center. Fast forward to today, I have way more outside hobbies than when I was in college and I just love being outside and doing stuff with my hands. I've picked things up from all kinds of trades, partly because I have a lot of family that does it for a living. Ig you grow up and not everything is how you imagined it would be. It's a lot worse or duller but at the end of the day, you just have to make the best with what you have and surround yourself with people that you actually care about.
CS is not a derivative of physics like other majors such as electrical, industrial, mech, etc are. In fact CS should not even be considered as engineering major. It should have its own category like IT
It's like the youtube algorithm knows what I'm going through when it recommeded this video to me. Biomedical Engineering graduate here. I completed my bachelors last year and I've been working with an Agritech company for about a year now. The thing that's wrong in the engineering space is that most students fail to analyse the program they chose and the effects it has on job oppotunities and oulook. I'm a victim of this situation. I went into biomedical engineering because being able to design medical devices was the motivation but I later realised in my third year that mechatronics and mechanical engineers can do the same thing and they are not limited to the medical field. I'm planning on doing my masters in either mechanical engineering or mechatronics. Thanks for the awesome video❤
Wow this comment made my day! It's great to hear that you share a very similar experience as me and that my video was able to help you. A ME/mechatronics graduate degree will defnitely open a lot of doors for you 💪
I agree. CS is it’s own world which I do not consider engineer, however now I work as a firmware engineer-filling a position for our company. You can’t go wrong getting a ME degree
I like having full control over whatever it is I'm working on so I chose CS. I don't know how chemical plants, solar panels, or hvacr systems are designed, built or work on a practical level and frankly I don't care, but I know how the software that controls them works, so all the Chemical, Electrical and even Mechanical engineers are kinda stuck without me configuring and setting the software for them to use lol, which really surprised me cos I'd think given their "baseline knowledge" of every field and super high stem aptitudes they'd pickup programming like it's nothing, but no, they actually struggle a bit and are handicapped when it comes to code, they'd create weird and unnecessarily complex things to bypass the software designed to make their work easier, but it just goes to show that all stem fields are important, don't know why CS is looked down upon, especially by mechanical and electrical engineers even though we literally do the same introductory maths, physics and chemistry first year plus a number of other "weeding" out courses (must be the whole "board certification" thing), which is funny cos the entire world is owned and run by software engineers. Anyways my point is it all comes down to the role you want to play and how you wanna play it (I like showing up, getting the job done and showing out, leaving someone competent enough to keep things running in charge while I take on the next project).
i think the most important thing is realizing that you should have a job lined up upon graduating (or at least have some kind of career plan). i feel like many college freshmen, myself included, didn't realize this until junior year-ish. things go smoother the earlier you realize this imo.
Yeah, I did the same thing kinda. Instead of switching, I did the double major of biomedical and mechanical engineering. Comparing the two curriculums, the bme degree was so painfully general. You don’t develop the fundamentals you need to succeed in medical device engineering where I’m working in rn. If you’re bme, you gotta work so much harder. Most end up in quality or some other field that’s not R&D
@@Tay2Cheap aside from doing well in your coursework. Internships, design projects and research are king. If you can't get an internship, do design projects within the university and do undergrad research. You need something other then your transcript to get into the industry
here is the the thing I'm a preparatory year student (engineering in my country has the first year to be just preparatory and we choose our major in the second which makes college a total of 5 years generally) I joined the formula student racing team of my university and currently under an internship to be part of the team I first joined engineering to be an electrical engineer but then found mechanical interesting my knowledge in mechanical now is alot more than electrical but in a month I have to choose between them the thing is electrical wasn't my dream I wanted to study CS but I couldn't take the right decision because my parents interfered in my decision thinking again I prefer ME or EE cause I like materials and cads now amd my knowledge in CS in sooo little comparing to the other two I'm thinking of choosing mechanical but the field I want to work in is F1 I know I don't make any sense but I just can't choose so I will take a course related to electrical and try to choose but my head is romanticising mechanical right now
(Please help, I don’t have much time) Hello, I got Mechanical Engineering at the best University in our country. But my interest was always in CS. I lost the best option for Cs, now I can go for Software Engineering at a lower ranked University. What should I do?
If you are asking whether you should go to grad school for software engineering or start working as a mechanical engineer, I can't really answer this question for you without knowing a lot more. I would consider going to grad school for SWE if you think it's worth the time, money, and effort, and it's what you are interested in. Ranking doesn't really matter too much.
Software engineering can pretty much be self-taught. CS will teach some more theoretical aspects that may not be directly applicable in the industry but are very interesting and change the way you think.
I don't think he will answer you so I'll give you my two cents as Mechanical Engineering student. Automotive engineering is way too specialize and most people working in that field are mechanical engineer. If you like STEM and cars, you should pick mechanical its way broader and will give you more flexibility to change industry and specialize later on.
In the end we have to sit on a computer or laptop like a monkey. Better software engineer or animations engineer than mechanical. Because in HVAC companies always user is abused by higher management than the software engineer. All software engineer says is that its not my fault that you did not update your software or simply restart your computer.
Bro respect. But now mechanical engineering demand is in its declining phase. I will suggest the upcoming freshers that choose any branch instead of mech.
@@jrkularatne2900 Exactly just checked the bureau of labor statistics and the rate of Mechanical engineering jobs will increase by 10% over the next decade which is ridiculously fast.

Sorry if this sounds like a critique - it's not, out of curiousity - why did you major in CS if you hate the developer routine?

Don't all engineering professions require you to work inside the office all day long?

@@iequalasian awesome I’m transferring either spring or fall next year this helps a ton! RUclips is king!
please talk about Difficulties when studying mechanical engineering
yes please. Im currently a undergraduate mechanical engineering student, in my softmore year and things are getting very difficult.
In germany it will give you a very hard time.
My parent never wish me to major anything at all. My mother passed away due the Lung Cancer. Stage 4.
I’m sorry bro
@@salehfaruqi thank you
Just curious, what's wrong with computer engineering job security?
Great video!
Engineers are designers of our whole world, mechanical engineering is reality of life. Software is just a virtual hype, for my think.
Thanks for sharing
I did Industrial Engineering. I seen this video too late 😅
Computer engineering major with a minor in Mechanical. Still hope?
here is the the thing
I'm a preparatory year student (engineering in my country has the first year to be just preparatory and we choose our major in the second which makes college a total of 5 years generally)
I joined the formula student racing team of my university and currently under an internship to be part of the team
I first joined engineering to be an electrical engineer but then found mechanical interesting
my knowledge in mechanical now is alot more than electrical but in a month I have to choose between them
the thing is electrical wasn't my dream I wanted to study CS but I couldn't take the right decision because my parents interfered in my decision
thinking again I prefer ME or EE cause I like materials and cads now
amd my knowledge in CS in sooo little comparing to the other two
I'm thinking of choosing mechanical but the field I want to work in is F1
I know I don't make any sense but I just can't choose
so I will take a course related to electrical and try to choose
but my head is romanticising mechanical right now
Maybe you should consider mechatronics engineering. Its a combination of mechanical electrical and computer engineering.
@@bsd7721 I considered it but sadly my university does not have a mechatronics major and I cannot switch to another university
bro what?if you like cs do cs
Will choosing mechanical engineering over civil engineering be rewarding for me at Australia?😢😢
It depends a lot about your hobbies, passions, background etc
bro you're literally me rn. Trying to decide between the 2
(Please help, I don’t have much time)

I try to do robots now
Another banger!!
Sir what's your opinion on Automotive Engineering degree? I mean it is basically mechanical engineering just with specialized focus on vehicles?
I don't think he will answer you so I'll give you my two cents as Mechanical Engineering student. Automotive engineering is way too specialize and most people working in that field are mechanical engineer. If you like STEM and cars, you should pick mechanical its way broader and will give you more flexibility to change industry and specialize later on.
Can you please say how much you get paid annually, if your okay with saying 😊
Any tips for people who want construction in mathes?
you work in boston or a college student there?
This was our little dirty little secret!
Imagine if the Mech Eng faculty hired the uber driver to boost their enrolments lmao
are you still unemployed?
also AutoCAD or any other software related, makes feel like a barber. Click and Tick everytime.
