Because we're all suffering together 😂😂
but it's so true! no?
You're completely Right lol
Totally true! For example we are often in the learning centre, you see or hear someone unknown talking about for example Mechanics 2 and you just ask and talk about the problem from the beginning itself! Greetings from Darmstadt!
@@Ancient0609 is mechanics 2 in University very different from mechanics 2 in high school? I'm taking mechanics 2 and pure 2 this year.
Indians are negative about engineering. We have more engineering college and less good curriculum also teachers to make us think that way
because
once you earn that engineering degree, it gives you the confidence and power to believe that you can do any f*ckin thing in the world
single greatest reason of them all
Thas on foe and em'!!!
When you’re an engineer you just become a guru at everything. Im convinced lol
right?? but I didn't know until I tried
lol
It's literally what it is.
I also love engineering because it’s logical creativity to me. I can say the craziest things and they ultimately make sense
Eh! Awesome! Gimme an example of something crazy
I was talking to a friend about sustainability and how we cannot have energy efficiency without fossil fuels. We said we must find a way to obtain the amount of energy a combustion reaction makes without producing carbon dioxide. Then we started to go into using cold fusion, explosions, natural disasters, and anything else that can create so much energy so quickly. After that, we started brainstorming ways we could store that energy and use it. Ultimately, without carbon dioxide emission, our planet would be saved 😂. There’s so much more but I’d be here forever typing.
"logical creativity" logic and creativity are separate things governed by seperate hemispheres of the brain
I LOVE how you talk about engineering like it is the most normal thing to do for girls!! i'm in my second year of mechanical engineering and when I say 'I study mechanical engineering' people go crazy that girls like that. I don't know how it is in your country but in the Netherlands people can't handle that. You Go girl!!
Same here! People are like „whoooaaaa that’s so impressive!! You don’t see many girls doing that!“ and I’m like „oh is it supposed to be hard?💁🏼♀️“
Hi five girl, even I'm a girl studying mechanical engineering
hahah damn me too!! I am doing ICT & Technology at Fontys and I can relate to all that is being said in this video
It's not that girls are not capable. Girls destroy guys at University. The thing is that girls are often not interested in engineering. The hotter and more femenine girls are in nursing and business. No offense, of course. There's some pretty hot tomboys at engineering.
Conquering Spaniard soww tbh in my class we are with 4 girls wich 2 of them are really feminine. I am a feminine girl and I absolutely love studying engineering.
This makes me more confident in wanting to be an engineer! I’m just scared that I might not be smart enough :S I’m struggling in my physics class atm
Raphtalia u can do it hardwork pays off
If your IQ is 124-127, then you can do it
I’m doing it guys
@@hannah-zx8rn congrats! How are you coping?
@@varunv2584 im currently in the fourth week and it's going okay! :) studying aerospace hehe
I would also add that one of the awesome things is that through engineering, physics and math majors you get incredible grit. The workload is usually insane and difficult, you will have to fight through witch blood seat and tears to cone out on top with good results, which means that difficult parts of life are easier to handle, like you said, we are all suffering together!
Not only that, but I am getting better and better at digesting a ton of information in a short amount of time, handling very stressful situations and I learned to embrace seemingly impossible problems that I face.
Why does being an engineer sound like being a superhero?
Because it totally is!!!!!
that's because we are
Mistyviska Le Juan are biomedical engineers too?
cause we are the closest thing to gods.
Fatima J, yes of course!:)
Engineering is a way of thought that’s amazing after you finish school
I did Physics. Don't do physics, do engineering.
Oh no! You didn't like it?
JosheyG34 Sheldon Cooper doesn’t think so
@@Slavaukrainiheroyamslava bazinga
Why I have friends that did physics and after a year they switched to enginering and idk why
physics is cool too
It's actually really refreshing to hear how passionate you are about engineering. I'm currently feeling really burnt out studying engineering at the moment, i was just wondering what you do when your feeling burnt out?
Hey William! That’s a great question. For me, what really helps is I take a lot of breaks (and also eat a lot of cookies). And I plan my weeks with some sort of a reward at the end of the week (I.e beer on Friday for a few hours with friends). Also I make sure to take Carmen of myself: exercise, eat well, sleep a lot. I should make a full video about this:) hope this was helpful!!
We hear a lot that you should rest and lay down when you are burn out but the reality is you have to work out
I'm drunk and in the middle of final exams and i'm just loving wartching all of your videos, keep up the good work! :D And, of course, Engineering for life
Yeeesssssss haha amazing thank you! also, does that mean that you'll need to be drunk on the final so you can remember everything you learned while studying drunk?
Lmao. I feel you.
I'm dying from my exams in civil engineering at the moment, so I needed this ^^
" suppressed feelings" & " we are all suffering together" Now THAT pretty much summarizes my experience in engineering and i can relate to every thing you said. I'm in the middle of my chemical engineering masters and although i have not developed that much love to engineering but i am sure it has changed my approach of life positively and changed the way i think and act, and for that i will always respect and appreciate this field.
Thats how I feel too. I'm really happy about the way I think now because of engineering. thanks for watching!:)
the pyschology thing is totally true !! I had an ex who hates that about my brain and it's taken me to just this year to realize it's a SUPER productive trait--esp if your goal is the C suite!!! Being able to put emotions in a boc with a bow and strategize !❤
I KNOW RIGHT?! My friends are always like "how the hell do you know all of this??" and I'm like "I've got too many homework problems that I can't solve so I would rather work on one that I can" lol
I really needed this! Thank you so much, I can now be confident to major in engineering. Thank you again!
Big fan here, I love your channel and probably seen every video lol. I'm a mechanical engineering B.Sc holder applying to ETH this year. keep the videos coming! :)
omgogomgomgomg Royal Ihuaenyi thank you so much! Thanks for all of your support:) Def apply to ETH and let me know if you have any questions about the school! I'll be starting my PhD here also.
Awesome! Thank you. I'll be submitting my application in a week. Yes, I have a few question and kinda need someone to review my application. I could email you to get a review if you don't mind of course. Good luck and congrats on the PhD position!
ya for sure! Email me your questions and when is your application due? Because this week is pretty packed for me but I should have time to do a quick review:) stemininevlog@gmail.com
I love watching women talking about engineering!!!! Thank you for this videos!
I’ve been a mechanical engineer for 12 years. And I can say that it is very rewarding when there’s work. You get to tackle a lot of really interesting problems. You develop a very keen logical sense outside of your job in every day life.
The drawback I found in engineering is that it can be volatile depending on the industry your in and that could lead to a lot of job switches sometimes and which can be difficult when you are rooted down.
All in all, I still love engineering. Gives me a rewarding feeling when I solve a complex problem.
Ok first of yall I want to thank you for having an amazing personality. Second of all you were very positive and really helped me to lean into engineering as I have been studying programming off and on for a couple of years but always thought being put in that box would suck my soul out. But hearing someone like you who has a personality and seems to be able to have fun makes me feel like maybe it won't be so bad.
WOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! IT IS AWESOME, VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
Studying engineering has changed my mindset so much. I'm very proud of my critical thinking and it has served me well, but I get to feel like an outcast sometimes.
I love engineering because I get to meet people like you everyday who remind me that I haven’t done much so far and that I need to work harder!
lol Zhara don't worry, I'll make sure we both work hard at Ansaldo!
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to study engineering, but with this video it helped make my decision. Great video, subscribing and liking !! 🤗😍
Thanks daniela! I’m glad I was able to help you make the decision!! Are you finishing high school or entering uni soon?
A good video. I am a retired civil engineer. I have known since age 12 that I would be an engineer. Engineering work was fun and interesting. From a year as an Army combat engineer to 10 years as a town engineer shared between 12 small towns I gained a wide breadth of experience. In the 1990s, I gave back to my old university by mentoring senior design projects in bridge design.
As I've listened to you, I think that you were logical to begin with. Engineering just brought it out. Enjoy your career. Good Luck, Rick
This is really cool thank you for making this video. Super helpful to hear about the engineering culture and how versatile a career it is
Thank you so much for this! I'm currently in the process of choosing an undergrad degree and this has reassured me that engineering is a good choice.
I'm confused whether to choose engineering r not nd after watching ur video it gave me some confidence thankyou!!
I am thinking about doing engineering and I was pretty sure about it... when she said that she sometimes felt like a physiologist (at 4:00) I am now 100% sure I want to do engineering... lol
OMG just watched this before going to work and I can totally relate and now I am going to slay my engineering tasks at work!
Hahahahah!
I can totally relate to your attempt to hike in the wrong boots! I've foolishly taken on challenges before with the "Trust me, I'm an Engineer" mindset 😅 Loved the video! Keep em coming!!
hahaha ya the "trust me, I'm an engineer" mindset has gotten me into a lot of trouble. but i'm still alive, so maybe we're doing something right??
"To be fair, I almost died" 😂
That was awesome and so is engineering!
Great video... much love, one engineer to another. I'm a Biomed EE. I haven't done any kayaking or climbing of glaciers, but maybe one day. I think you still have to have that adventurous side to be able to use that engineering problem-solving side :)
i'm in the 1st year of industrial engineering and kind of struggling from times to times, your content helps to stay motivated TY
Lmao, the code only works the day before submission. I'm starting my 3rd year exams next wednesday and I needed this reminder. Thank you sweets
Yes of course! Thanks for watching:) and yess haha the code only works at like 2am the day before submission lol
Great video and good information. From fall i will start my first year of aerospace engineering college in my country.
Great way of defining Engineering life, thank you .
Omg 😨😵just thank you, now i know I'm not the only one feeling this way I feel myself referred to literally everything you said every little thing
I'm using this video to encourage my students to get into engineering, in particular to inspire my female A-level students. Great video
Thank you! Your awesome!
Thanks very much it cleared up a lot for me ❤
I'm starting my bachelors degree in engineering next fall and I've been skeptical about my decision, part of it its because engineering sounds hard and scary, but your video has motivated me to have a more positive view on it!! I think there's a lot I can gain from it
hey i’m about to start my manufacturing engineering bachelor’s in a few months, how has your degree been doing 2 years later?
Thank you! I appreciate you 😊
Don't let your emotions affect your decisions 👌👏
I totally agreeeeee
Thank you for this video it really made me happy , and now I want to be better in my engineering career .
As you said I actually found intrest in my work and I really like it , the best thing also is I get to stick to my favourite subject of all time and that is phyisc .
What a great topic! My favourite part of engineering is contributing to projects that the next generation will get to work on and improve again 😊
Thank you! That is a great reason and also a good motivator to give 100% in your work:)
I’m studying engineering. People never gave me any notes though I was sick for two weeks
Hey Steve, hmm what I usually do is make sure I have a friend in every class. Or if I dont then I try to make a friend in that class at the beginning of the semester incase I need the notes later. It works out because I get +1 friend and maybe notes later:) maybe try that?
I thought the same. But maybe this problem concerns only freshmen year haha
STEMinine i do that too it is work
People are friendly with me in engineering!
Great video. I love engineering cos of the design process from conceptualisation to finish product. It's great!
Ya it’s so rewarding to be part of every step of the way when creating a product.
I love your channel so much. To be honest, I'm studying at the top Engineering university in VN and I'm struggling with the program so much. But once I have found my favorite part (which is Solidworks), I love my life and my program again. Thanks so much for changing my life. My major is also Mechanical Engineering and all of your contents are basically what I have now.
What year are you?
@@coria6231 i'm a freshman =)))
@@khoitrannguyenminh203 Bro I'm a sophomore :)
I still remember my first year, the first semester was a great struggle especially for linear algebra.
I wish you the best of luck in this semester and in the rest of your career :)
@@coria6231 Thank you very much. Every single day, I always wake up and remind myself about the reason I choose this major as a motivation. I love to pass the first year =)))
I LOVE HOW YOU TALKED ABOUT ENTROPY HAHA!! I once when on a date and talked about cell fusion and sustainability HAHAH
Because of Mechanical engineering I started to like gym more and more since I can visualize what machines and body mechanics work
Oh nice! Ya I only started to go to the gym so I can avoid homework lol
Very good video. I watch your videos with tips and helps me very much❤
I'm starting uni in a few months, and I love that engineering can be versatile, keeps the monotony in life away xD
I would like to study engineering at university
I'm going into biomedical engineering and going to be a freshman in college this fall, and I love your videos, and I am actually more excited to go into engineering because of your videos. :)
Aw thanks alexandra! thanks for watching im glad you like it:)
I did not know what i wanted to do with my life and after watching a vew of your video's you are the reason that i know what i finally know and want to do with my life. Thank you so much :)
Wow Shabam TV that’s amazing to hear! I’m so glad my videos are helpful to you:) it gives me a reason to continue making them
I’m honestly so grateful to your videos. I’ve been debating on whether to take on the medical route or engineering. I’m still deciding but your passion for engineering also rekindle the interest I had for it. I just hope I can make the right decision. I’m open for any advice.
Flip a coin and see how you feel when the answer is shown. Are you disappointed or relieved? That always helped me clarify how I REALLY felt about something when deciding between two things. Definitely go with the option that excites you most / feels more right.
Omg you’re so good
I’ll make sure to watch all your vidéos
Lové you from algeria 🇩🇿 ❤️
Thank you for making this video! I can tell that you are *very* intelligent. Thanks to you, I feel encouraged to study engineering because it is nice to see other females studying it, I love Maths and my dad is a mechanical engineer and my granddad was a engineer during World War Two too. The reason why I want to study engineering is because you get to learn about other interesting things such as thermodynamics; I also used to love chemistry but never studied it at A Level.
Please can you make a video about how to choose which field of engineering to go into if you haven't already? I thought you did but I can't find it haha. Love your videos! Might show some of them to my dad. My dad really likes Maths xx
I am from the UK by the way :)
That's a great idea adrienne! I'll write it down:) and thanks so so much for watching my videos!! And I'm really happy to hear that I'm helping someone by exposing my life as an engineer
Hi Jess, i just want to let you know how much i appreciate your videos as a girl in stem. You have encouraged me to keep going, and i dont know if it sounds creepy but I've seen you as a friend that understands. I'm one of two the girls total in my class, so it gets very lonely sometimes. Thank you Jess
Navy veteran and currently in graduate school for electrical engineering. I like engineering because I've always enjoyed taking things apart to see how they work. I also like using science, math and critical thinking to make useful stuff.
Yo, the argument about passing notes between each other is some real bullshit sometimes. There are people that only want to get from you but don't give anything in return ever. If you refuse to give them notes, you are said to be "bad colleague" when in real life you just simply value your work too much to feed the parasite in your class for their pleasure of being lazy.
Honestly, there was this one guy in my class that skipped every lecture and asked me for notes. I gave them to him because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But then he continued to not attend school and asked me for my notes again and I said no. I agree with you in that sense, I value my work so much and I’m not just going to hand it over for free
Give them and see thier marks in the end
that is so true about the jealousy. I, and a lot of people I study with, wouldn't blink twoce when someone asked them to share notes. Like.. We all know how hard it is, so we gotta stick together
Stumbled across this video, and I loved it! I’m a girl mechanical engineering major in the United States, definitely can relate to all of these!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching. In which school do you study?
University of New Haven
You are amazing, totally get everything you are about, WIE are the best 😇!!! Engineering brings us confidence, skepticism, and humility because like said, there is always someone smarter on the room you can learn from. I think everyone should just get an engineering degree and then if they want to do something else like business or psychology, get a graduate degree. I ABSOLUTELY believe it should be a requirement of our politicians, we need educated problem solvers to lead the world. I would love to see you as the next President!!!
An overall very well made and eloquently spoken video.
What am i watching this now? I should’ve watch it earlier!! 😂😂😂 btw u are so great and inspiring! ❤️ im so excited for my degree! Thank so much 😍
I’m kinda interested in engineering but I’m really trash at math fr
honestly, after you get past all the math classes (and maybe some engineering classes) there isn't THAT much math. Some parts of engineering have more math than others so you can definitely find a stream of engineering without math. If you're interested, I made a video about this on my channel: czcams.com/video/k9gI6g4CTOI/video.html
that's so right Calla Merkel! I really think if you persevere and don't let it scare you, then you can conquer it!
Patience.
do it :D
Patience, Math is Practice
Great video! Have you heard of TU Delft? I will be going there for my Bachelors in Aerospace Engineering!
I love u
U motivate me to run after my dream
so great to see you saying about mechanical engineering
thank you!
Love ya! Nice video!
I’m mechanical senior student.. I like your videos and the research u been doing.. great job...
thanks so much for watching! glad you like it:)
Fun video. I did not wind up going into engineering but I am rethinking my possibilities. I needed this like 4 years ago. I had to do my own research and get excited about engineering. Congratulations on your hard work. Is it really true that certain people have an aptitude towards engineering? Good luck on being a youtube.
This is helping me write my personal statement thank you lol
Haha same😂
Finally I found my soulmate.
Engineering makes me feel Epic having a cape on with violins playing in the back, Especially if I solve complex problems.
hahahah I love that you have violins in the background! For me it's EDM that plays in my head while I solve complex problems. But that's probably because I listen to electronic music when I work:)
Seriously love your enthusiasm - I wanna do Engineering even more now.. SHARE YOURR NOTES!! ha :)
Very inspiring.... job well done.
I love Engineering! And I'm starting to fall in love with you! :)
"Usage: Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart."
You must discipline your thinking to work through the problem. You must use the principles to solve the problem. You must control your emotions to solve the problem. And you must develops "cognitive endurance" or the ability to work for significant periods on solving the problem.
Loved this! 💜
Thanks kailaXO! thanks for all of your support
I'm a girl and study mechanical engineering in germany, next week exams are coming up and I'm losing my mind ! This gave me the boost I needed. Thanks :)
Cool,i like it
Narcissist yes lol, luv solving problems, luv learning. Funny vid but many engineers are emotional decision makers, as are most people. Cool thing about engineering is that it offers many career trajectories once you start work ... technical, mngt, business, sales, marketing, finance, projects, manufacturing, operations, maintenance, reliability, education, medical, legal, etc.
very interesting video, well said
I am a power engineering student. I love your content and it's refreshing and motivating hearing others suffering and that we are all on a team. Lol
thanks so much for watching luke! But isn't it just so true?? I don't remember much of my undergrad but I remember staying up real late in the computer lab with 10 other people trying to figure out an assignment haaha
STEMinine absolutely!! it's all worth the sacrifice and struggle. Hahah plus the infamous respect of the title engineer helps. 😛
the iron ring helps too!
Yo im a 15 year old girl in New Zealand and next year im doing a part time course with my school that allows us once a week to go study a course of our choice and I chose m Engineering. I know nothing about pysicics and I am realy really bad at maths, im not very strong or tall and overall not the kind of person who would be good at this but for some reason I really really wanna do it even though everyone around me is telling me its a bad idea and its not for me. I like your videos and they make me feel more secure doing it :)
Love your videosss
new subscriber!!
Thank you!!
you are avesome love from turkey ıam learning so muchthing from you and your channel of course
Such a nice message!! Thanks so much for watching:) I appreciate it!
Hello! What kinds of paths can you take with mechanical engineering? I'm thinking about engineering and you mentioned a couple in your video, but what are some more examples? You also said there are types of engineering that are not as heavy in math, and I would love to know what those are! I think I'm pretty set on mechanical, but would love to hear your advice! Thank you so much for the AWESOME vid!!
Hey Sarah! Thanks so much for watching. Honestly, there are so many disciplines and they overlap with other branches of engineering also. I think the best thing to do would be to look up the univeristy you want to apply to and check what sort of research the professors in the mechanical department do. Their research area is a path you can take. But just to throw a few more out there: structures (aircraft of anything else), mechatronics, biomed, laminar or turbulent or subsonic or supersonic or hypersonic or any type of flow, combustion, heat transfer/HVAC, etc.
Also, how can you network for an international internship or job?
Im kind of person who got several back paper through out the engineering studies. Did I wanna really climb there or look something different?
I'm doing Mechanical Engineering, what Computer Science classes do you recommend I take?
what type of engineering did you study and what does your work entail?
You suppressed your emotions when you realized you had a task at hand with a deadline. You didn’t have time for emotions. You mind has become analytical, thanks to your work which is why you credit these things to engineering. They’re good qualities to have. 👍
Listing to you I am so familiar to the situations I am not gonna give up after listening to this much of pros
Okay, I'm sold.
That comment about enthalpy talk on a date took me out 😂 I'm definitely guilty of that. When a guy asks what I do like idk how to not sound like a nerd lol.
No.3: I'm an engineer too ... but ... I have been trying to solve the problem of _how to travel back in time_ ever since I saw *Back to the Future* in the 80s.
I still haven't figured it out yet. Any help would be appreciated! 😃😁😂
(The schematic for the Flux Capacitor would be nice...)
Im not physist but you need big amount of positive énergie and négative one to balance it and créat big pressure and gravité feild on space time to creat à worm whol that théoriquly we can travel throw space and time the problème is we need source of power like thé Sun and even we can creat something like that we need à programme an AI to keep it in check in every milsec so we dont blow this planet
Great video! 💜😉
THANKS CHARLOTTE!!
You can invent a touch down semi automation speed control abs Cyber programming in aeronautics and car speed automation. It's very easy and all is about mechanical sensors automation supra servo server. The semi automation servo sever control release need an array of digital input sensors on off to work programming coupling. It takes an little effort to compute the programming but it's not impossible.
Come to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and work on Flying Wings, New types of Tilt-Rotors, Stealth, Laser Defense Systems...….and you are right......Engineers are very cooperative but you got to pull your weight. Engineers are not slackers. We are very curious and we are not happy until we solve the problem. Also the pay is great !
