- Jeremy Wang is a fourth-year engineering student at the University of Toronto and the Chief Technology Officer for the drone startup Sky Guys. His talk provides a refreshing take on resolving the common workplace clash between businesspeople and engineers, and ultimately, how humility is the secret for individuals and teams to become better all-around. Jeremy Wang is the Chief Technology Officer and R&D Founder of The Sky Guys, a leading Canadian drone operator and manufacturer for safety-critical industrial and government applications. Jeremy’s foray into aerospace engineering began in high school as a research assistant on computer vision collision avoidance. He has since spent the past five years in technical and leadership roles in design teams, universities, and accelerators, serving more than 10 drone, rocket, and satellite projects and helping raise upwards of $40M in funding along the way. In 2016, Jeremy was selected as one of Canada’s Next 36 highest potential young entrepreneurs, and in 2018, he was named one of Tomorrow’s Aerospace Engineering Leaders by Aviation Week and the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
As an engineer, I always think my job would have been less stressful if instead of debugging code and making changes, I just worked on Excel. I work well with Excel, but really no business domain actually interests me.
Also, observed business guys to be full of emotions while I just know how difficult it will be for me when they excitedly announce 'new changes'.
'Building relationships' just feels like something done for profit.
True relationships are not built, but automatically developed through trust.
But I get it. Impressing clients is how you make money and that is the prime objective of business.
video too long; short answer ->feedback required
Adhesive strength is a topic 3m didn't know too much about. They just believed in the degree.
I don't know if I fully agree, but I know what's helped me start a business. I think the best thing I did to help me was get over my "ego" and start solving problems that really helped others. From there I was able to create a prototype, and get results which I shared to find new clients. The last thing was to use my job to finance my business. Too often, as engineers, we think we need investors to start building something, but fail to realize we should be our first business investor. So, I have clients, but I also pay myself. It's made all the difference in my business journey. Lastly, I learned it to always give back. When I first started there was nothing online that really helped me get started. I don't want anyone to struggle as I did 10 year ago, so I created a channel about my entrepreneurial journey as an engineer. :)
I’m considering going into a business/accounting degree or electrical engineering degree (with maybe renewable energy) do u have any advice/tips for me?
@@kylebuchan9401 mannnn saaaame... help!
@@namr1174 lmfao same😀
@@kylebuchan9401 go with electrical engineering
@@lmboca3458 why tho?
Pastor brown drew a connection this morning between listening and humility.
In chemistry there's a two tiered system of supporting someone's personal growth.
How to deal with your problematic partner? Simple: Hear and try to understand what they are saying.
You a businessman trying to pass an project or a product for the engineer to design. Try to understand them, if they start to become frustrated ask for an explanation "for dummies" level so you can understand.
You a engineer trying to understand what the businessman idea is? Hear them and try to clarify any misconceptions they may be using.
Engineering and Business both are Unique in it's own way . Ain't comparable at all .
lately, they've been linked. Engineering design has to be economically feasible or otherwise they won't get funds.
@@funtimes7305 Yes absolutely
Sales people just need to take a hike
This is 1st tesx video which got comment now :)
Engineering
Most startup founders and Ceo’s
Most of the people in wall street
Most math savy major
Most versatile major
Mostly everyone in America is doing business, don’t go for it he is wrong.
THE HARDEST MAJOR.
This video is made by an EGOIST UNDERPAID BUSINESS MAJOR, whose job was taken by an ENGINEER
r/whoosh
It's other war around and you are egoist
@@rottenapple6531 More and more software engineers are working on Wall Street lmfao, coding is starting to become more of a requirement if you want to break into finance
@@lmboca3458 you can always teach a math-major about finance but you can't teach a finance-major about math fast enough. Btw coding is an extension of mathematics, so industry reaction makes sense.
Someone is a little bit frustrated. From where did you take this data?
engineers are paid like peanuts and work way more than any field
YES,
That's not true, at least in western countries they have really good salaries
@@pedroloto not really. All these people you see on CZcams were geniuses who went to MIT and work in the big 4. Most engineers make $80K-120K but their worth wayyy more
@@Naomi-xu4hq oh it depends where you live honestly, I don't know about the USA, but here in my country (italy) engineers have, in general, really good salaries according to the cost of life!
So yeah, my bad for saying Western countries, I shouldn't have generalized that much
Come on - you can do it
On this subject i believe there is not right or wong 😁
Too long
