- If I were to start over, this is how I would relearn engineering…specifically engineering that involves hardware or mechanical work. There are two important aspects to consider here when learning engineering from scratch. First, there’s the material you need to know. Second, there’s a job-hunting strategy you can follow to actually help you get a high-paying engineering job…when you’re starting out with no experience. Timestamps are as follows:

ABOUT ME:
My name is Tamer Shaheen and I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer. I like to make videos about university/college, engineering, and personal development. Thank you so much for watching!!
Got my internships revoked during college due to covid and now that I've graduated, most internships don't accept new grads nor do most entry level jobs without relevant experience. Definetely keep applying during undergrad so you don't get stuck in limbo like me.
Edit: I did end up getting hired after about a year. I applied to many places within a 12 hour car ride away from where i was currently staying. Also kept working on personal projects, doing certs, practicing interviewing, etc. Unemployment being low definetely helped since less ppl looking for jobs and the cascade of higher level employees applying for lower level jobs seems to have slowed down or stopped. However, the ratio of positions being canceled was still relatively high (1/4jobs)
Keep at it bro, you'll get there!
If you have a dream company just keep applying. It might take 6 months and 10-20 applications
Just keep applying and working on your resume, portfolio and interview skills. I was in a similar position in the past.
@@TamerShaheen Definetely! If anything, I've become desensitized to rejection and have been able to reflect more on what I want in a career
Same I told my friends, cuz the same thing happened to me.
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer student, I have always searched for such as this content on CZcams and I found you. It was an amazing explanation for the major. Your highlights on the subject were great. I hope you keep going because it's interesting to watch your content as a Mechanical Engineer student.
Super valuable yet again my man! MaShaAllah. Wishing you more success.
Got into working on old cars that then got me even more interested in mechanical engineering, hope I'll make it through the bachelor, Im a nerd for the things mentioned in this video, especially material science, construction technices and CAD, but math is my cryptonite that takes a lot out of me. Motivating video to make me keep working hard, so thanks for sharing
I only started watching your videos fairly recently but it really does help, I’ve transferred to my dream school and I honestly feel prepared. Thank you for helping out upcoming engineers like myself your videos are great!
I love how over the course of your uploads you've become a lot more comfortable filming yourself and having an audience. I don't watch every video, but I've been watching relatively since your beginning. And I just got to say, you've come so far and I'm so stoked for you
Damn thank you for those kind words. I’m just trying to get a bit better with every upload and learn from my mistakes :)
Appreciate the videos as always Tamer. Not a lot of people make Mechanical Engineering videos, most are focused on software/tech. You're definitely filling the gap, and glad to see your viewership growing!
I'm a Mechanical Engineer myself and currently job hunting. Your videos are super helpful and informative
Thank you and I’m glad you like the content :)
howd it go bro
@@JanJan-uf9mvIf he hasn’t replied by now it’s safe to assume he found a job
@@Shannnnnnnnnnnnn or he might be chronically depressed having not found 1
Immensely appreciate your videos. I feel like there’s a huge gap between what theory is taught in classes and what skill sets are necessary for any given job. Your videos are so helpful in unpacking all the different aspects of engineering and knowing how to be prepared. Its comforting to know what I need to be doing. Thank you so much man
Really amazing to see how far you’ve come through these videos. Thank you for all this information and guidance, it has really helped me throughout my own internship search process
Happy to hear :)
Thanks @Tamer Shaheen for sharing your knowledge and experiences makes engineering something to love.
This was so much helpful Tamer. I'm starting my Mechanical engineering this November & you've guided me a hell lot in choosing my major. I just want to thank you again, you've made engineering look better with your videos. Cheers man!
There's beauty in everything, you just have to be wise enough to see it. With Software Engineering becoming so poupular, the core engineering domains have kinda got sidelined nowadays and not that sought after by students, but I guess they are an integral part of our lives as much as Software Engg.
The most important thing you could do is apply for internships.
What an absolute beast video Tamer. Thank you very much for such information.
This video comes in really handy, as I just started studying Mechanical Engineering! Thanks
Good job,I my self being a mechanical engr at Volkswagen sometimes look through your videos to clear up my mind related to mech engineering, I have been following you since two years now, your knowledge about mech engg is quite broad, keep posting ❤ cheers🎉
this video really helped alot men thanks for sharing, i believe there isnt enough engineering content out there so most people who are going into engineering dont really know how to go about alot of things
Just trying to fill that gap :)
I just wanna tell u that ur content is going abroad even here in the middle east a lot of students who graduated or still studying are learning from ur videos.
Thanks man and keep up the good work.
This was a really nice video 👍. Thank you for the whole breakdown too .
Underrated video. Amazing consolidation of engineering
Keep the mechanical engineering and career content coming 😊🙏
This video is so helpful right now. I’m taking material science rn, and the whole month I’m leaning about metallic, ceramic, polymer crystals structures stuff. It’s nothing like ME more like chemistry
Yeah basically chemistry of solids and crystallography
ME here. I'd say my material since class, which sounds similar to yours, has been intrumental in my job. Specifically, when coming up with my own heat treatment processes to better control the mechanical properties of metals along with knowing how materials will behave at elevated temperatures.
Wish l had this video when I was in high school!
Good job !😎
Very well-presented and quality information
Another bomb video 🔥🔥🔥
This was awesome
Hey man thanks for your content, I wish to study MechE for my undergrad and this video has provided a much needed insight into the relevant contents of the degree. I will also look into detail about all the topics you discussed here to hopefully include it in my personal statement for my uni application. Appreciate you a lot.
As usual, an amazing video that makes me understand the life of the engineers much more so thank you😉
@Tamer Shaheen
is that your account ??
Perfect Tamer. Your way of explanation is so Modern & engineered. I would appreciate if you make videos for each theoratical & practical parts whole as a playlist.
You sounds like a motivation for engineering students bro.
Hs senior here, really cool to watch these kinds of videos to get a little feel for some of this stuff. Im taking Ap Physics and Cal AB next semester and hoping to major in ME in college.
That’s dope, you have a fun road ahead of you :)
Thank you. I love this video
Amazing content. You got a subscriber
Nice video for those who are into this amazing world of engineering
One of your best videos by the way!
Glad you like it :)
Valuable content bro keep it up
Tank you for the video, I’m a mechanical engineer student and I really like it but I struggle a little. Your video just make me remember why I choose this major.
thank you very much, this is all I need, at least for my final year, I know important stuff and object that I need to learn in deep and details way
Very well explained I wish you could do more in depth engineering videos to learn concepts
Dude wish I could give you a bunch of thumbs up. I’m a software engineer but it’s one of my dreams to works as a product/mechanical engineer. More videos please. Gained a subscriber!
That is our boy 😍😍 ....... Thank you so much 🙏🙏
If you are an aspiring engineer or just starting out looking for jobs, this is a GREAT video to just give you a brief overview of some of the most Important topics you could be asked during the interview
This is the best video about engineering I have ever watched
Very helpful...cuz i am a first year student in mechanical eng. So i will pay attention to those details
عظمة♥️
My semester just started and I thought I have to follow the coding placements rat race but this video was a life changer thank you Tamer
Thats the sad part of indian engineering trend
Nice Outro! 😎
As always man, great vid and many thanks! I use your vids 2-fold; 1- for knowledge (a wise man learns from his mistakes, but an enlightened man leans from others’), and 2- for supplemental motivation. Can’t wait to start my dual bachelor’s in Jan (aero and mech engineering)
Sounds fun, good luck with your degree :)
@Noah Clanton much appreciated sir. Yeah, 41 and starting a career change, so I definitely see how valuable variety in internships could be.
@Noah Clanton no worries, I’m still pursuing aerospace and mechanical engineering degrees (the school I’m going to says those 2 are only different by 1 class so I’m going to take advantage of what will essentially end up being a 2-for-1 deal). So context still applied ☺️
Great timing, I’m just starting going to school for ME
Top-notch
Thanks man
Man lovely video!! haha would really love to study one chapter deflection from u!
Thanks Shaheen.
I am from India, and here is literally no YT channel like yours , Thanks man for these insight!❣
This was so valuable. Coming form a 4th year Mechanical Engineering student in Kenya🇰🇪.
Thanks Tameer💯
Yo! Mechanical Engineering student from South Africa 🇿🇦 here. Are you doing a degree or diploma? What’s the name of your institution also??
@@bhuuthesecond I'm doing a degree at The University of Nairobi.
This is a gem! Really appreciate this video, and especially the job hunting stratergy part, I am totally going to implement it!
Just started first year engineering managed to line up a job next summer already your videos have helped a lot
That’s huge, congrats!!
Any chance you got any advice?
I'm 2nd year student, that basically has no "engineering" classes under his belt, aside from coding prerequisites I needed to take for further Electrical engineering classes, but when I talk to employers, or even scour jobs sites, it seems they want juniors or seniors...
Thanks so much
you have the eyebags of an engineer for sure. over thinking about concepts and design through out the night no doubt.
Wow nice video, Theoretical part I got it down and I still have all my school books to review. Great tip on joining small company for more practice and learning experience.
Now ma focused on CAD to land the job, I tried FreeCad and it is great, today I found our the personal Fusion 360 is free. But I just signed up audit solidworks course for free(edX) and it recommended 3D experience solidworks and it cost $10 a month. So I decided to go for that first. Plus they have both training, community, and solid work cert for associate and professional.
شكرا كتير استاذ تامر ❤❤❤
Goodnwork👍
This is exactly what I was looking for! As a fellow engineer, you are spot on.
FYI: the crumpled paper background is a little too much
Hi Tamer, love the vids bro. Could you put together a video to show your desk/ workstation setup? Would be sick
Hmm good idea, I’ll look into doing a video like that
You really motivate me even though i have not been in school for 7 months because of the on going indefinite strike in Nigeria 4 years now still haven’t finished my 3rd year courses
You’re gonna make it bro 🔥👊
@@bhuuthesecond thank you mahn it means alot to me ❤️
spitting facts
the part which you been talking about MODS is literally what I’m covering now in my 2nd semester (strength of materials), but electronics is something im despising currently.
You're despising something so important 😂😂😂
Here i am learning electronics engineering 😂
The good thing is that not all engineering jobs require a strong electronics background. So, if ur enjoying MODS…then design engineering might be for you
@@TamerShaheen cheers eren, ill keep moving forward
I think you should mention about one of the startup aspect of starting out engineering is that junior engineer skill are still really bad. So they spend more time learning than actually deliver result. University engineering program open the door, how deep one goes will determine our longevity
Hey Tamer, i love your brilliance and accuracy in your works.
Just as you have a channel for Mechanical engineering, what channel would you recommend for me to watch electrical engineering tips
i wish i'd seen this exactly 3 years ago from this day
Really good video! The moving paper background makes it a little hard to concentrate though :)
I’ll try make it slower next time and hope that would help
Lol I saw half of those coding videos and watched maybe half of them. They say the same thing to just learn on your own and make your own projects then proceed to give a complicated ass project for your FIRST project. As a beginner.Many of them also state they wouldn’t go to college if they had to do it all over again. But man I Just learned today that I despise coding. And that it’s just simply not for me.
But with all that said,
Always look forward to your videos man! Appreciate you!
I understand everything in this video but still don’t get called back. 😂😂😂I gotta figure something out man, this job hunting is brutal
Kindly make a video on most common reference books for mechanical Engineers
This is a good video; however I will be careful with the courses you suggested. I’m also a mechanical Eng., by trade and I have over 7 years of experience and I have never ever touched any of those subjects on my work. I’m a modeling and simulations Eng. so for me the most important subjects are computer science, calculus, linear algebra, PDE’s, numerical methods, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, controls. Courses you didn’t mentioned. The beauty of mechanical Eng. Is that you can work in any field; hence I don’t think that making a video only focusing on design provides a good example. I wouldn’t be surprised if most mechE work on fields other than design. Cheers
That was really helpful👌
Tamer could you make a video of other mechanical Engineering fields ? I mean like some one who works in power station. I have been concerning that if I focus on studying fluid mechanics and numerical analysis of CFD or other related programs what is the future? Even is it more difficult to find job in this field of study? Or its just freelancing?😶
I don't know what to do for a living atm. I study in 10 grade and entered to chemistry&biology course (like M-Kurs of Studienkolleg). now I started thinking about enter to "T-Kurs". I don't know what to do. engineering seems way too difficult to me.. still,, thanks for the video!
Would you be able to make a tutorial on stress-strain analysis using SolidWorks?
Got my first internship which turned into a co-op after receiving multiple offers.
Hey Tamer thanks for ur informative videos i'm final year water resource engineer and i'm thinking (actually not thinking but working on) in a major shift, i want to study mechatronics i'm more interested in mechanical, electronics, programming side of things. can you give me tips about self learning strategies or just consider make a video about majors or carrier shifts and self leaning in general that will be awesome. and thank you for ur content its one of the best.
*sorry for my weak English (Arabic speaker issues lol)
Can you make a video on aeronautical engineering cause I really want to know about this course in depth
Good video.
South Africa 🇿🇦? If you are what college or university do you go to?
@@bhuuthesecond first year Cape Peninsula University of Technology, I got introduced to Tamer early this year. There's already ALOT of content on the channel, like the 7 must have skills for every an Engineer. Some of the videos are not visible on the channel but they do exist.
@@1HourOf. Me Northlink College Wingfield. N3 Mechanical Engineering. I love this guys videos. They’re very informative and inspiring.
Incredibly useful, but dang I wish I could follow along even slowed down to .5 speed you’re zooooooming.
Hi Tamer I'm a big fan of your videos. I'm starting to take Engineering classes at cc and as I start planning the next 4 years, I was wondering how helpful government internships like with the CIA or FBI might be? Thanks in advance :)
Please be aware that startups are not for everyone. Larger companies have a range of roles, there is a lot of opportunity to move around and find your niche. Startups typically have poor work life balance. As with everything else, it depends on you and what you want.
Honestly this is an recommendation. When you feel in late ages say in 30 years or so finish with working for companies, Consider becoming a teacher in the art of engineering as your way of explaining is so much better then most teachers ive seen at uni.
Top G
haha
Do you have any advice for an upcoming Mechanical engineer student going to college next year like study tips and some tips ??
Hey quick question, im an engineer my self and ive been thinking about making videos for CZcams. I really enjoy your channel and i was wondering, how much from ad revenue does an account your size make? thanks in advance.
God may bless you, I am self studying robotics engineering since the carreer does not exists in my country so I am learning it and I wantr to create a product so I don't care if I don't suit the title that is a must for jobs
I'm going to uni next year, should I apply for start-ups only during holiday times or should I just do as much as possible?
Do you recommend i go over my lectures before my next job interview
what would be the theoretical and practical materials/topics an electrical/electronics engineering should master?
Just a little note about internships. Know that the internship culture is different among different countries. For example, I am studying aerospace engineering and where I live I was able to land an internship in a medium sized company who does various European projects in my first year
Ofc the roadmap can vary a lot…but this was just one that worked. But there can always be exceptions.
@@TamerShaheen I was not trying to dismiss your point. I'm sorry if it came out that way. But I just wanted to make it clear for some people that are foreigners. I did this because they might be dismissing some companies that would look better on their CV because they are in the begging of their studies.
This video is key 🔑 I'm currently going through the same internship process at Concordia university in Quebec. What kind of questions do they ask at tech company interviews?
They tend to ask general questions specific to the major you are in. Electrical and chemical engineers will have very different questions
Hello Tamer, I am a recently graduated mechanical and electrical engineer from a third world country and would like to work remotely in a developed country, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance, your videos are useful and interesting.
Does this knowledge apply to an electrical engineering position as well? Or does it differ?
where would you learn the material tho
Are Autodesk CAD certifications worth it and is it a valuable add in a resume??
Can you post about civil engineering or recommend CZcamsr such as you?
💯
Bro what's your opinion about biomedical engineering ?
Just started my undergrad in Computer Engineering at the University of Guelph and I'm already behind. Do you think I should be understanding concepts while in the lecture because I usually learn it after. I think I'm spending too much time on note taking. Do you recommend taking fewer notes and moving on to the homework so that I can move past topics quicker while also learning them effectively?
Also, I know you said marks do not really matter, but if I plan on getting my masters(maybe in the states), do I need higher marks than a 70 average?
Bro- Computer Engineering do not study these. He's talking about Mechanical engineering. I am almost graduating in my CpE degree and what you should be learning is not in this video. Learn about electronics, programming Python and C++, Networking (CCNA), and control systems.
Generally aim for a 3.0 GPA (B average or 80%) and above for graduate school and getting jobs at the bigger companies straight out of college
