I'm a freshman in architectural engineering and I really enjoyed your video! Now I know what transmition is (I probably don't see it super helpful rn but I will in a couple semesters). Thank you so much for your advice!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed the video!
I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing
taking courses to get into Arizona university to take mechanical engineering. yaay
Part 4 was sooooooooo resonating with me...... Thank u mate Engineer✌️
Glad to hear :)
Haha 😂 I can definitely relate to the root locus plots in controls.
Omg 🤣let me know once you figure it out & explain it to me hahah
I stopped studying mechanical engineering a year ago, out of fear of the job market. Your videos are very good, keep going...
great video thanks
Cool glasses! I Love seeing women in Engineering. I'm a Chemical Engineering graduate working as a Maintenance Engineer but I'm still applying for Chem, Process and Project Engineer positions.
😆😆 you seem like a cool person!! Thanks I'm studying civil
Ahahaha thank you 😆Amazing, good luck with that!
Thank you!!❤️🇿🇦
Thank you for watching :)
Hey I wanted to ask u something so I’m really good when it comes to calculations(maths and physics) however I’m not really that good at CAD I understand almost all of the calculations courses such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and the rest. What fields do you think I could work in with such knowledge?
I am studying mechanical engineering and I wish I had learnt how to code before I started with this degree. But nonetheless I am almost done with it
Yes coding can be very helpful depending on what direction you take! I actually don't need to code at all in my job now :D
I hadn't written a line of code prior to taking a numerical methods course during undergrad. I think in grad school I had at least one or two large programming assignments in each class I took. I never thought I would be sitting at a computer writing code as a mechanical engineer, but often the software that I need doesn't exist and I have to make it myself.
@@paulvarjak7378 Oh wow! I had a less coding-intensive experience haha but for sure this becomes more and more part of mechanical engineering as hardly any machines are purely mechanical any more so you need to know how to integrate the electronics. Hope you like coding 🤣
@@theannareichwth coding in mechanical engineering im in my final year bachelor’s degree 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Your Awesome! I wish I knew that physics in college is different than in high school and that math math math math math math!!!
HAHAHAHA Root Locus Plot, I'll sit for this course by next week!
omg good luck maybe you get it and can explain to me later hahaha

Hey I am a chemical process engineer.Everyday , I struggle with my choice of master degree.I don't know if it would be a good idea to do a second master degree in mechanics.I have some courses in common with the mechanical option talking about the turbine,reactor or even combustion engines that I really appreciate.I hesitate so much between mechanical,sofware and chemical engineering.Finally,I took the chemical engineering degree.I appreciate the courses that I have in this degree but I still have some doubts about my choice.What would you suggest me to do ?
I too struggled with choosing the "right" degree but looking back I have to say that my major really had less of an impact than I thought when making the choice. Of course it's still important to choose a master's program that includes subjects that you enjoy but in the end just the fact that you know more about a subject will very likely also make you more passionate so there isn't necessarily a "right" or "wrong" choice. All three of these options provide great career opportunities and you can still strongly shape your career direction independent from what you studied. Is there something specific that's making you doubt your current master?
@@theannareich it's more for my futur career.I like the courses that i have in my cursus but i also like the courses in the mechanical degree.What i really like in both of them is the designing and function of the process.
@@anju31285 To position yourself for your dream job that combines both these fields, you could always take additional classes (if possible at your university) or find videos & books explaining the mechanical basics, or even better find some projects at the intersection of chemical & mechanical engineering that you could work on. I think this can have an equal or even bigger impact than having "the perfect degree" for the job you want to get. Really, your degree is just the start of your career and shouldn't be the limiting factor. I'm convinced that I could still become a chemical engineer if I wanted to as long as I'm willing to teach myself the basics and maybe take an internship or an intersectional job before making the leap.
Please recommend me few books on mechanical engineering. I want to go for the automotive sector later.
I have to say that I don't really read any books about engineering and it's not required to become an engineer but if you want to read more out of interest I found this blogpost with some cool engineering book suggestions: interestingengineering.com/30-must-read-engineering-books
What is the difference between mechatronics engineering and spatial engineering in Germany in terms of study and work? I am a mechatronics engineering student and I am thinking of changing
Did you happen to know anything about it?
Can someone please personally guide me? Im taking mining engineering (currently on 5th semester) and i feel so dumb & I can't see future me having a career in mining industry at all 😢
It feels like I’m the only one who did genie programming in A levels
I will complete mechanical engineering in nov.2022 .
Can i do msc in internal combustion engines?
To be honest I have never heard of that master before but it sounds like a logical progression of a mechanical engineering bachelor, so as long as you fulfil the entry requirements of that master, you should do just fine. Good luck!
For which company do you work and what is your role, if you don't mind
I work as "Automation Engineer for Material Flow & Robotics" in a battery production company for electric vehicles :)
I am pretty good at maths and physics but I doubt my design skills bcoz i dont have any creative thinking skills. But i have a huge passion to work in the aviation industry after being an mechanical engineer. Should i choose mechanical emgineering or not. Pls I need your opinion. ❤️
Creative design thinking is something you can learn (and will learn) in uni. For example, we learned methods of putting together different mechanical principles in new ways by basically making a matrix of all possible options and then testing out different combinations. So I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you're passionate and willing to put in the work you can learn it :)
@@theannareich Wow! thankyou so much for the reply.❤️
@@messifan7499same here I’m not good at design creativity I’m talking about cad but I’m really good at physics and mathematics btw final year mechanical engineering bachelors degree
I wish i mastered algebra, calculus, gas law electromagnatism kenimatics thermodynamics heat transfer nuclear atomic waves trigonometry motion graphing functions boy and significant figures. all of these are a requirement and i didn't give a damn about them in high school becuse i had 12 other subjects to pass at that time.
you are sooo cuuuttteee
I have a question, don't shoot the messenger here, what skills might you need to have to be an engineer?
I'm sure I'd love to be in engineering of some sort, but math and me do not get along.
It can get boring (at least in high school it was for me.)
Except besides algebra(I started to get it the third year around in high school 10 years ago, lol).
So, kuddos to you for knowing what a transmission is, you explained it wonderfully.
Even without mentioning a "gear box" or a driveshaft to the rear axle, with the differential, blah, blah. Jk.
Hi William! I have a video on 6 signs to know if engineering is for you which might help you out a bit (I directed it at other women but I think it can help everyone)

When it comes to math, I think you can very well avoid it once you start working and even during your master studies (if you choose to do a master's) but you cannot get around it during the beginning of you bachelor's. So you might need to work hard to get through calculus and linear algebra but then later you can take a less math-intensive classes. What type of engineering are you thinking of going into?
Hi im from Africa i want to study mechanical engineering in Europe too
I just had my root locus test yesterday. And man I hate it
You have my full understanding. That shit sucks 🤣
Hello i am about to graduate with bachelor degree of mechanical engineering this November but do u think someone from Mech Eng can do masters in data science?
Hej! I think in terms of skills, you can definitely go from Mechanical Engineering to Data Science since you have the necessary mathematical basis. And even if there may be some small gaps, you have learned how to learn hard things and long as you're interested in Data Science you'll be fine. You should just check whether you fulfil the formal requirements for the master's, sometimes you need to take some additional courses if your bachelor's didn't include some courses that are mandatory prerequisites but usually you can just catch up on those later - so that shouldn't be a big hurdle either :)
@@theannareich thanks for the reply
Help me survive with the math 😂 pls! Luv ur vid by the way🤙
Hahaha the math is the worst! But you got this 😉 just gotta make it to the other side! Great to hear ☺️
I have degree in mechanical engineering but now i am not sure what I should take for masters. Buh in ME sector. Any suggestions
What did you like/dislike during your studies? Maths, CAD, mechanics, electronics, control theory, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, production technology? Or if you have no idea how you like these, what's your vision of the kind of job you want to have? What kind of industry? Small or large company? Doing CAD, programming, working with machines, working in a lab, etc.? Maybe I can help you more then :)
@@theannareich what kind of programming do mechanical engineers I heard they work on python
@@jrkularatne2900 It depends a bit - for data analysis & numerical calculations you're right about Python (it's also common to just use the program Matlab for this). C++ is the other most common language and the one I learned in university. Then there is also more machine-oriented programming, for example G-code for CNC programming which is probably the most relevant for me as a production engineer. But I personally don't do any programming in my job, just have to understand some IT-basics.
I won't stand for the root locus slander! You're essentially plotting the poles of the system across all different values of the gain K.
I respect that 🤝
Sis I am a girl and I whant to be a engineer and I like to be a mechanical engineering like u and meet to u personally one day wish me luck ☺
That's a great plan! Good luck and keep me updated ;)
@@theannareich of course well I am from India and where are you from?
@@divyshreepatil8884 I am from Germany and based in Sweden :)
@@theannareich oo ok well if it's ok with u can you tell me the company name? If it's ok with u, if not than no problem 😊
rip 3:07 earrape
I wish i knew modern mechanical engineering is dominated by Electrical engineering ( control + sensors.... Etc)
That's a good one!
Jesus loves you guysss❤️
Jesus loves you. Give your life to Christ, turn from your sins, believe the gospel and receive the sacraments. God wishes for none to perish but for all to come to repentance.
