@@theworldismine7788 Technically yes. There are people who work as mechanical engineers who don't have a degree. But a degree is often required, so if you want to be a mechanical engineer you should get the degree. But beware that many people have the degree and cannot get employment in this field.
Finally an accurate video about a job that gives an idea what a mechanical engineer actually do. Usually people do a "day in a life of ..."-video and then they just film themselves eating.

Very well done. I do manufacturing engineering work for medical device companies and have a lot of the same responsibilities. I wish universities taugh more of this and not just math/science theory.
Hey man, I'm thinking of doing MS mechanical engineering in the US. Would you suggest me to carry on, or try to switch to fields like industrial engineering?
@@joswa5251 Both degrees are good, but I would say that mechanical gives you a broader base. If you know that you definitely want to work as an industrial engineer, then that is fine too. To be honest, it does not matter that much anyways.
Same, I hated that college doesn't teach you useful stuff but drive your focus away into the theory math part, which, you can just learn/copy base on the case you got
I have started my career at 1984. My the 1st project was to design a storage for neutrons to boost nuclear explosion. 1. Selection of materials to store neutrons for years before a missile would be launched.2. Guarantee neutrons would be stored for years but released simultaneously into active zone of the nuclear warhead to boost chain reaction 3.Drawing and tests at different environmental conditions 4. Selection of processes and development them to deliver neutrons to the active core of the warhead simultaneously etc. My manager used to help me with explosives because I wasn’t certified to work with hazardous materials.
@@Alan-mq9om IMHO, the 1st nuclear project met a similar problem. I’d like to say, it is few decades old science. I use deuterium as neutrons source. Major problem I had solved was to synchronize neutrons delivery to the core when critical mass formation gets started. Nanoseconds critical process. The 2nd important problem was number of neutrons delivered to the core should be as expected, about same as total number of neutrons stored in storage. Wasting of neutrons in the delivery path would be an issue for the entire project. Imho, such kind a project is kind of basic problem in modern course of physics at any U. I don’t know exactly, my degree belongs to 1984, this project was done by me right after graduation in KB-11 if you are familiar with Soviet era Ministry of Medium Machinery in 1984-1985. I guess, it should be used in ICBMs USSR developed that time. I was quickly moved to another design company to develop thermobaric weapons and I wasn’t a part of underground tests. But I had tested my work in special blast protected lab and that worked as expected. Imho, any student working on his/her master degree in physics doing something similar at lab work. I used to have more interest that time to computer model of such process to develop computer model based on my experiments to describe the phenomena as close as possible to my tests. It was fun project for me, and I’m proud even today about my work to improve ICBM performance. BTW, at some point I was certified to work with hazardous materials

Crazy high quality content! The editing wasn't groundbreaking or anything, but you really focused on what the viewer needs to hear and edited around that. Subbed 👍
I am in my junior year of high school and am a mid range student who would like to major in mechanical engineering. What does it take? What should I do now?
Most people have little understanding of what engineering actually is. Engineers have to combine scientific and mathematical knowledge with pragmatic, practical solutions whilst applying commercial acumen. Engineering is a very demanding high paced profession that requires a strong intellect, inventiveness, acute concentration and consistent attention to detail. Engineers apply standards of professionalism to their work that is rarely matched by by other professionals.
Good content right there. This video has all that a new student would need to know about how every thing learnt fits together! My school failed miserably at teaching where and when different subjects were needed. Every school ought to have similar discussions where product development phases are discussed along with the subjects that apply during different phases.
This dude be speaking in semi formal for the whole video, and then suddenly its the validation stage and he goes "in this stage we test the sh** out of the product"
So right!; FMEA isn't taught in ME school much, yet it's so important. Same with GD&T, which is important for creating detail drawings which will dictate processes, fits, and tolerances across diverse supply chains.
@@MisterBinx Good for you! A CAD model is essentially a platonic ideal, while 2D detail drawings are often what suppliers/vendors work with to produce individual real-world components. As such, these drawings essentially become legal documents which define terms of a contract. It's in everyone's interest to minimize confusion/ambiguity and ASME Y14.5 is the most comprehensive standard for this. Learning it is akin to acquiring a language. Once fluent, design intent can be communicated precisely and efficiently. Good luck to you!
I can’t speak for other MEEN programs, but about half of my senior design class covered FMEA at Texas A&M. They made us use FMEA so much that it became redundant at a certain point for my project, although I’m sure it greatly benefitted other teams. I can’t say we ever touched on GD&T though.
Exactly. Although Ironman, star trek, and the like are a HUGE inspiration for engineers, it isn't that easy, lol. "Tont Stark was able to build this IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"
Lol I am not majoring in mechanical engineering but I wanted to until I got a clear understanding that you can build iron man looking suits that fast I also thought it would’ve been a 1 person job
There is also a misconception that engineering work is interesting. I think one needs to have a high tolerance for excruciatingly tedious and mind-numbing work to be an engineer. I hated every engineering job I had and wished that I had not spent the time, money, and work on getting a BSME. Went back to school for several years in my 30's and became a biology professor for much less money.
Great videos ! Keep it up ! Please share something on Medical Devices Engineering sector. Product development part is almost the same, but to understand job markets over the globe.

High voltage electrical power engineer here with about 20 years experience - the quoted salary is more for an experienced engineer. Engineering itself is high stress and high liability. Work load is high and no one but you and your fellow engineers understand the complexity and consequences of the work you do. Your MBA and accountant management tell you how slow you are and how much you overspent. But if a catastrophic incident happens, you will be the one responsible. Switched to project management, best career move ever. All careers need hard work and endure some level of risk. Medicine pays 5 times higher.
LOL My wife is a pharmacist. She completed her doctorate 20+ years ago and now practices in clinical pharmacy. The nature of work is very different to engineering. Scope of practice is well defined and solutions are established, regulated, and repeatable in daily work. Consequences of mistakes can be severe but generally not catastrophic (death of a patient). The schooling of pharmacy is memory based and trains to follow guidelines and instructions as with most professions in healthcare. Engineering requires the understanding of core physics and technical fundamentals, and then promotes the creative application of these fundamentals. In other words, pharmacy requires one to put in the hours to study. Engineering can be understood with little studying if you just “get it”. But if you don’t, you can spend weeks and months studying and you still fail. Work life balance is variable for both careers depending where you end up. Salaries are comparable. Both careers require team work (peer to peer) and counselling skills (end user/patient). Hope this sheds a bit of light.
One supplemental point - an engineer’s reward to doing a good job is that the design is built and “it works”. You can pat your self on the back. “No news is good news” because your end users just expect your build or product to WORK. In clinical pharmacy, if you help with the health care of your patient, they will be very thankful. In retail pharmacy, maybe less because you do not get to know the patient.
This video gave me PTSD. Spent most of my early career as a Mechanical Engineer doing product design in the mining and oil and gas industries. Loss my interest in engineering and moved on to Project Management. Occasionally I still have to put on my Mechanical Engineer hat but overall I am glad I got out of it.
What’s the part of the product life cycle where they’re engineered to fail shortly after the warranty expires? Which engineers are responsible for making products unserviceable? Or for using proprietary accessories and connectors instead of ones that use universal formats?
I wanted to do engineering however I got humbled in my first physics course. I struggled hard as hell. I figured if I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t do engineering. Really upset about it too.
I definitely can relate and bombed my first physics exam in university. If you are still interested in engineering, you could invest in a 3D printer and do some cool side projects💪
Some classes are designed to be weedouts. It’s easy to make a straightforward concept arbitrarily difficult to filter out people with weak trig,algebra, and calculus foundations.
Hello, can you please make a video on the best industries to work for? Should I join a smartphone company, a construction company or join a different industry. Which has the highest room for opportunity and growth?
Very interesting video. Interesting using an iPhone as an example For the people in the comments who are in their first years of school or aren't yet in school for ME I recommend joining clubs such as student racing teams. I joined one of those and even though I didn't give everything I could've given to it, there are some experiences I'd taken for granted that apparently are not that common, such as FMEA analysis, and other things you just don't learn in class, like talking to suppliers, talking to people from other disciplines, talking about money... I specifically say "student racing teams" because the one I was a part of had an "industrialization" component of the project, even though you worked on a physical prototype, you were supposed to think about it with this industrial-production mindset. Some other competitions like robotics etc may differ a bit but they're probably a good idea too.
The thing that has been bothering me for quite a while is how underpayed (Mech) Engineers are. everytime you design and create something saving the company hunderds of thousands , if not millions. You might get a little bonus and still only get paid your hourly wage. Whats your opinion on this?
Definitely had a similar experience in my career. I've worked at a handful of engineering companies in product design and the common denominator is that the majority of my engineering time is spent on manufacturability. Knowing in-house capabilities, knowing supplier capabilities and designing the product using that knowledge to meet requirements. Depending on the size of company and production turnover there's a varying emphasis on cost control, how stressful the deadlines are and how much administrative BS there is. Hands-on prototyping in the workshop is what I consider the fun part and paperwork (or meetings where nobody takes responsibility) is the least fun.
Agree. Cpk tests for manufacturability often reflect wishful thinking rather than capability and cost. I think physical (not just fe) modeling of concepts should be considered a discreet step in design, before prototyping, and design engineers should gain experience with this _and_ on the shop floor.
I majored in Biochemistry when I was in school and now I am thinking of going back to school for a MS in Mechanical Engineering. Thank you for the information!
Hi dude I have some doubt according to the fea analysis, In this analysis for an object(Electrical flying object) how can we analysis the object like full assemble or half an assemble???
comsol multiphysics for full assembly, or subroutines using Abaqus for partial assemblies; all depending upon what kind of physics you are capturing, and what boundary conditions you are assuming. if not, all can still be done in Simcenter or Ansys Mechanical
currently studying mechanical engineering and just cant wait to be part of this way of living knowing that even if its in the smallest way something i could do could impact how we advance on a whole around the world
It usually takes 4 years to get a BS degree in Engineering and an additional 1-2 years to get a MS degree. Every school has its own set of requirements ie curriculum / capstone project / thesis
Depends on which level of mechanical engineering you concentrate in. Basics are 5 different mathematics classes, Cad class or two, physics, statics, instrumentation, etc. Whatever institution you're studying at, they will show what courses you must take to get the degree.
Unrelated to video, can you please tell me what the difference between Mechatronics from Mechanical Engr department and Mechatronics from Electrical Engr department? If you could, please make a video?
I've never heard of a school offering two mechatronics programs. EE departments tend to be more rigorous, so I'd go there. Most schools don't even offer mechatronics. Usually, you go to the ECE college and get a job in the mechatronics field from there. Some also come from an ME background, but it's usually more difficult since they don't have the computing background which is integral.
I really enjoyed this video and i I am currently 14 and years old and will be taking engineering class in high school. Just like you i want to be a mechanical engineer and designing roller coasters using CAD for the manufacturers. I've always been interested in how things work and I love learning about roller coasters and designing them on video games and I feel that mechanical engineering is my purpose on this earth. I am proud to be a nerd and to get a's and b's in school!
Don't listen to this guy. He's salty. Hone your skills, always find ways to make yourself irreplaceable, and find a good employer. I wish him the best of luck👌
@EngineeringGoneWild thank you man I appreciate the advice and support. I won't change my passion for anyone unless it's for the better. I will be an engineer and there's no doubt in my mind that I won't become one
Why not to have own game ? Not to follow boss interests Money can not you get happy Who some day notice smart people names on production of them ? Not a few of them .
Sounds like it would not be a great career for me !! Personally the pie chart made me reconsider mechanical engineering :( like I want to be able to come into work everyday designing something cool like a rocket engine strapped to a vehicle lol
1. Hi im form the uk n I want to do aerospace but ik the jobs are very limited, Would u recommend me do mechanical engineering degree n then try go from there as then there could be more job opportunities. (Im about to start uni with aerospace engineering meng but thinking of changing to mech) 2. Also I hear mechanical engineer jobs will be replaced by robots, is that true? Thanks
Great questions. If you plan to work in the UK, I do recommend going with ME. You can specialize in aerospace engineering during your last two years of uni or if you plan to go to grad school. ME jobs are probably the least likely to be replaced by robots/AI due to the sheer level of creativity & experience that's required.
Yo what laptop you use for Mechy. Looking for a window laptop that has high battery hours, and can handle high workload (like M2 macbook pro but windows)

10:30 took me out with the administrative section
That was very useful, thank you
Realistic video 👍
easy video to follow, easy sub, very interesting thank you!
Good video! Thank you!
thanks ....This was very helpful
Last 20% of the mechanical engineer work sounds exciting! 😄
I do 160k a year as a vehicle collision technician with a GED. It's very hard work and very stressful though.
Most people of that background will never reach that salary anyway
This video gave me PTSD. Spent most of my early career as a Mechanical Engineer doing product design in the mining and oil and gas industries. Loss my interest in engineering and moved on to Project Management. Occasionally I still have to put on my Mechanical Engineer hat but overall I am glad I got out of it.
10:48 "Ignoring Emails" HAHAHAHAH!!!
maybe in USA, but in AUS, usually Industrial designers take it from 0-100.
What’s the part of the product life cycle where they’re engineered to fail shortly after the warranty expires? Which engineers are responsible for making products unserviceable? Or for using proprietary accessories and connectors instead of ones that use universal formats?
Glad to have found this channel 🎉
I wanted to do engineering however I got humbled in my first physics course. I struggled hard as hell.
I figured if I couldn’t do that, I couldn’t do engineering.
Really upset about it too.
I definitely can relate and bombed my first physics exam in university. If you are still interested in engineering, you could invest in a 3D printer and do some cool side projects💪
Some classes are designed to be weedouts. It’s easy to make a straightforward concept arbitrarily difficult to filter out people with weak trig,algebra, and calculus foundations.
@@Rudenbehr passed but barely but yea. My issue was mainly how to start the problem.
Great work done
Hello, can you please make a video on the best industries to work for?
Should I join a smartphone company, a construction company or join a different industry. Which has the highest room for opportunity and growth?
Thank you so much!
Very interesting video. Interesting using an iPhone as an example
For the people in the comments who are in their first years of school or aren't yet in school for ME I recommend joining clubs such as student racing teams. I joined one of those and even though I didn't give everything I could've given to it, there are some experiences I'd taken for granted that apparently are not that common, such as FMEA analysis, and other things you just don't learn in class, like talking to suppliers, talking to people from other disciplines, talking about money...
I specifically say "student racing teams" because the one I was a part of had an "industrialization" component of the project, even though you worked on a physical prototype, you were supposed to think about it with this industrial-production mindset. Some other competitions like robotics etc may differ a bit but they're probably a good idea too.
good man right here
The thing that has been bothering me for quite a while is how underpayed (Mech) Engineers are. everytime you design and create something saving the company hunderds of thousands , if not millions. You might get a little bonus and still only get paid your hourly wage. Whats your opinion on this?
I have looked for the similar video about mechanical engineer in Chinese website，but that is blank，thank you！
Every work needs a team!
You considered doing mechanical design on the side?
For sure! I love designing things😁
Very detailed , explained and conceptual video
Definitely had a similar experience in my career. I've worked at a handful of engineering companies in product design and the common denominator is that the majority of my engineering time is spent on manufacturability. Knowing in-house capabilities, knowing supplier capabilities and designing the product using that knowledge to meet requirements. Depending on the size of company and production turnover there's a varying emphasis on cost control, how stressful the deadlines are and how much administrative BS there is. Hands-on prototyping in the workshop is what I consider the fun part and paperwork (or meetings where nobody takes responsibility) is the least fun.
Definitely agree with you! Meetings are the worst and prototyping is always a blast 💯
Agree. Cpk tests for manufacturability often reflect wishful thinking rather than capability and cost. I think physical (not just fe) modeling of concepts should be considered a discreet step in design, before prototyping, and design engineers should gain experience with this _and_ on the shop floor.
I majored in Biochemistry when I was in school and now I am thinking of going back to school for a MS in Mechanical Engineering. Thank you for the information!
In UK it is called Design and Technology.
Please can you make a video about engineering physics?
Thank you
Mechanical engineer don't do much hands-on work in factory right?
Not really (I’m could be lying but idk) from what I understand they do most work in offices
hello and thank you for this interesting Content. I have a question can someone with ma humanities or irrlated mechanic work in some R&D?
Hi dude I have some doubt according to the fea analysis, In this analysis for an object(Electrical flying object) how can we analysis the object like full assemble or half an assemble???
comsol multiphysics for full assembly, or subroutines using Abaqus for partial assemblies; all depending upon what kind of physics you are capturing, and what boundary conditions you are assuming. if not, all can still be done in Simcenter or Ansys Mechanical
mechanical engineering is really cool
Good I love your job
How do I take this course? Am in Nigeria.
My decision to study mechanical engineering feels even better now
as an unofficial Mechanical Engineer, how should I go about getting my bike produced in Canada?
currently studying mechanical engineering and just cant wait to be part of this way of living knowing that even if its in the smallest way something i could do could impact how we advance on a whole around the world
Which cad design tool software for product design?
Thank you for this video it is a very good breakdown of what you do
Question.. what do you mean by “process design oriented”?
Great in depth video thank you sir
i want to do mechanical engineering when i an older
How much time it took to graduate?
And what requirement is needed?
Thank you
It usually takes 4 years to get a BS degree in Engineering and an additional 1-2 years to get a MS degree. Every school has its own set of requirements ie curriculum / capstone project / thesis
@@EngineeringGoneWild BS MS?
the requirement i meant math and physic background education level
@@ajingolk7716 google is free…
@@CyclicMac he decided to share his experience and i like this branche😊
Depends on which level of mechanical engineering you concentrate in. Basics are 5 different mathematics classes, Cad class or two, physics, statics, instrumentation, etc.
Whatever institution you're studying at, they will show what courses you must take to get the degree.
It really is a lot to consider, hard to find people of this caliber...😊
Wait I thought you guys just complained about going over budget for a living?
Unrelated to video, can you please tell me what the difference between Mechatronics from Mechanical Engr department and Mechatronics from Electrical Engr department? If you could, please make a video?
I've never heard of a school offering two mechatronics programs. EE departments tend to be more rigorous, so I'd go there. Most schools don't even offer mechatronics. Usually, you go to the ECE college and get a job in the mechatronics field from there. Some also come from an ME background, but it's usually more difficult since they don't have the computing background which is integral.
I really enjoyed this video and i I am currently 14 and years old and will be taking engineering class in high school. Just like you i want to be a mechanical engineer and designing roller coasters using CAD for the manufacturers. I've always been interested in how things work and I love learning about roller coasters and designing them on video games and I feel that mechanical engineering is my purpose on this earth. I am proud to be a nerd and to get a's and b's in school!
@future2387 yes I know but that won't necessarily change my mind about being a mechanical engineer
Don't listen to this guy. He's salty. Hone your skills, always find ways to make yourself irreplaceable, and find a good employer. I wish him the best of luck👌
@EngineeringGoneWild thank you man I appreciate the advice and support. I won't change my passion for anyone unless it's for the better. I will be an engineer and there's no doubt in my mind that I won't become one
What general area are you located in?
Why not to have own game ? Not to follow boss interests Money can not you get happy Who some day notice smart people names on production of them ? Not a few of them .
I want to design the product as well as build it
So I want to be a mechanical engineer but I’m horrible at math so does it take like lots of math to be a mechanical engineer
Sounds like it would not be a great career for me !! Personally the pie chart made me reconsider mechanical engineering :( like I want to be able to come into work everyday designing something cool like a rocket engine strapped to a vehicle lol
Can some become mechanical engineer with amblypoia on one eye and another eye with 6/6 vision?
1. Hi im form the uk n I want to do aerospace but ik the jobs are very limited, Would u recommend me do mechanical engineering degree n then try go from there as then there could be more job opportunities. (Im about to start uni with aerospace engineering meng but thinking of changing to mech)
2. Also I hear mechanical engineer jobs will be replaced by robots, is that true?
Thanks
Great questions. If you plan to work in the UK, I do recommend going with ME. You can specialize in aerospace engineering during your last two years of uni or if you plan to go to grad school. ME jobs are probably the least likely to be replaced by robots/AI due to the sheer level of creativity & experience that's required.
@@EngineeringGoneWild thanks
Yo what laptop you use for Mechy. Looking for a window laptop that has high battery hours, and can handle high workload (like M2 macbook pro but windows)
Depending on your budget check out HP Omen, Razerblade, Dell XPS
