"carry like 10 mechanical pencils, you don't want to be caught without one" preach, PREACH as a fellow mechatronics engineer whose professors are awfully fond of hand drafting i can say this is one of the simplest yet most useful piece of advice for someone getting into mechanical or mechatronics engineering
Do not attempt pen!!! Some professors with literally give you a 0 if your work is done with pen 😭😭
@@NathanLemoine i had that happen to me, i learned my lesson the hard way😭😭
@@NathanLemoinelink for the wallpaper pls 🙏 it look so good
Me tooooooo
Hi bro how are you, I will start uni next year I am very fond of mechatronics engineering I just wanted to ask you what you recommend for someone like me getting into it should we go for it or choose another path. And any other advice just shoot it at me
This is the one youtuber who uses their stuff for a little bit before buying the bigger and better one but you are the only that uses it until it breaks. Love that
as it should be. especially macbooks and ipads or shit like that are so reliable fr. I bought a used ipad air 4 from 2020 two years ago and I'm sure that I will be able to use it at least for another 3 - 4 years on a daily basis. Same goes for my macbook, I wish I could find some high quality headphones that would last similarly long. Moral of the story: buy and keep your old high quality tech, it's more reliable than you think. And it's also not that bad for the environment. and your wallet.
cheers mate
As a mechanical engineering student I vouch for the accuracy of this video! Awesome thumbnail btw 💙
Thank you Poojan! And I didn’t even realize how many blue things I carried around with me, the thumbnail worked out way better than I imagined 😂🙏🏻
I love to see used items in these videos. It shows you REALLY know what you are showing us. You’ve used these items for so long they are falling apart but you love them so you are going to keep using them. Honestly amazing man. Thanks!!
Bruh, I didn’t even graduate and just jumped straight into the industry with enough knowledge and passion to learn more. Mechanical pencil and a notebook will always be your friend. Trust me taking notes of everything you do to reproduce it or having a random idea is always needed.
Finally a video without all of the products being from sponsors. I appreciate someone who uses something for its full life (ie not getting a new water bottle bc its a little dinged up. Same goes for the charger and bag). I feel like so many tech and school influencers just load up these videos with sponsored products that arent even reasonable, like a $100 water bottle or fancy charger
I don’t got that UA-camr money yet to just always get the newest thing, so I still run everything into the ground 😂
This was honestly fantastic! I have been thinking about going into either Computer Science or Electrical Engineering and have been looking for a video like this for a few weeks now. Quick, concise and straight to the point.
Thank you so much! Best of luck in electrical engineering, circuits just don’t click in my brain for me 😂😭
Bro, I watch this kind of video a lot, but you know what I like most of this video. It is you are not showing off… great bro…
I like this video a lot. I believe this setup doesn't only apply just for mech eng or engineering in general, but also for most of the people that I know that do the hard sciences or math.
editing gets better each vid intro was awesome!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the intro as I also really liked how it came out 🙏🏻 I’m just trying to make each video better than the last🫡
graduated two years ago but this was very similar to what i carried as a computer science student.
Us STEM majors gotta be ready at all times 😵💫🫡
im a biomedical engineering / math major. im a senior, and i got an ipad during my sophomore year. i absolutely do not regret it at all. all of my notes since then are all in one spot. not to mention i have to frequently download pdfs for quizzes or hw, so i can just write right on them, then airdrop right to my laptop! coming from an android user, the ipad is a game changer for engineering students. so many professors give pdfs of their lectures, so you can take notes right on then!
The iPad completely changed everything about college for me! Best device I ever got for it 🫡💙
I feel so identified with your EDC I'm also studying mechanical engirneering and I have practically the same EDC but with the Samsung Ecosystem, I bought the Galaxy Tab S8 in february and it's been a game changer for me, with my calculator and my Sony Linkbuds S they are my daily driver 👌
Ayeeee my android counterpart 😏🔥
What do you use as a note taking app? I'm getting a Samsung tablet for school and want to know what apps to download
@@ggedits9533 Personally I use two apps: when I'm writing with the S Pen I like to use Microsoft OneNote because it has a really big whiteboard, I take a lot of math notes and I need that ultra wide space, but if you want to type with a keyboard, that's when I recommend to use Samsung Notes
currently goodnotes 6 is available for android but as a fellow samsung tab user the stock samsung notes is good enough@@ggedits9533
Padayon fellow future engineer. I'm also specifically a Mechanical Engineering student on my last year now. Good luck to everyone!
Thank you so much! You as well :)
Currently I’m a freshman engineering student. I have an iPad Air 4, a Logitech keyboard that pairs with it, Apple Pencil for good notes 6, a graphing calculator, a folder for handouts. I want to get a MacBook but it might take me a while to save up. I have a gaming laptop at home but it’s way to bulky to take with me to class so I might not get a MacBook
What sort of engineering softwares do you use on your Mac as a Mech Eng. student? The industry standard softwares (like Solidworks for CAD and Ansys for simulation) are mostly available on Windows only. Do you find yourself restricted with your MacBook when it comes to those engineering softwares?
he said he "rarely used my laptop for engineering applications anyway (even though my laptop could handle it). Most of the time I went to the computer labs on campus and worked on projects or homework where these softwares were needed with my friends. We were together most of the time and this was the easiest for us since they had any software we could need already installed on it. If I had to use my laptop though, I had to go though an online portal set up by my college to access the softwares such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS. Very few classes actually used SolidWorks, but many of them needed MATLAB which my friend with a 2016 MacBook Air could run perfectly fine on. "
I definitely wouldn't recommend it though, computers may not always be available and the software and virtual machines universities provide are generally not as smooth and reliable.
I love your intro! Amazing how you keep improving with every video! :)
The intro came out really nice on this one. Thank you for all the support🙏
that intro was something else🔥🔥
Ayeeee much appreciated! Glad you liked it 🩵🔥
Lmao you just pulled out the same darn blue folder Ive used for my entire ME degree (now CE)! It’s saved me more than a few times and has become a running joke in the family 😂 can 100% reccomend!
Folder has been nothing but spectacular for me 😂
Minus the calculator, I use pretty much the same stuff for law school. Apple just makes the best stuff from the graduate level perspective
Bro u sound like the old youtube. So indepth, from bottom Of the heart so real. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🥹 just trying to make the best videos I can!
I'm also an engineering student and I agree with everything here except for the mac because of the software I use. All of the software can be run on mac but it is optimized for windows and work terribly on mac
wich windows laptop are using, I think im gonna need to get one also for my engineering
@@cesarmaldonado147 currently I have a school laptop which is a dell latitude which is barely powerful enough so I would recommend something better
Do you still use the Infograph watch face? Ever since I saw that video of you reviewing the infograph watch face on your Apple Watch, I’ve been using and it’s been coming in really handy. It’s so useful and has so much info so it’s been much easier navigating my Apple Watch!
Haha yup! Still provides the most amount of information at a glase! I'm glad you still use it too and one of my videos helped you :)
The guy definitely likes blue 🔵
You think? 😇
Put a loop on the water bottle and attach it with a carabiner on the backpack itself
Someone else has recommended this to me and it’s a good idea, I’ll start trying it out 🔥
Nice whiteboard marker 😊
As a mechanical engineering student, how are you feeling about the MacBook? I'm in the same major and I've heard software, such as SOLIDWORKS, is incompatible on Mac's. It's a shame because I really wanna get MacBook
Hey Jose! From my perspective, I actually went into college with the same mindset you seem to have. I was worried as an engineering major that if I got a MacBook it would not be able to run or handle to softwares so I did not get one and instead I got a Windows Surface Book 2. But, from my experience and going through 5 years of college, I rarely used my laptop for engineering applications anyway (even though my laptop could handle it). Most of the time I went to the computer labs on campus and worked on projects or homework where these softwares were needed with my friends. We were together most of the time and this was the easiest for us since they had any software we could need already installed on it. If I had to use my laptop though, I had to go though an online portal set up by my college to access the softwares such as SolidWorks, MATLAB, or ANSYS. Very few classes actually used SolidWorks, but many of them needed MATLAB which my friend with a 2016 MacBook Air could run perfectly fine on.
I personally recommend just getting a MacBook which can handle all school work and MATLAB very well, and for other more intensive softwares such as 3D modeling to just use to computers on campus where they are already installed!
Hope this helped :)
Personally I wouldn't get a Mac book it's too limiting on software, unless the bulk of your profession uses just adobe software apple is just not used nor supported enough. Just get a good quality laptop, spring for one with a graphics card if possible. I hear framework has some cool stuff with upgradability but I have never owned one.
Or what I prefer and wish I would have done.
Build a good desktop and use a Chromebook for daily bullshit when out and about.
Chromebooks are cheap and great for basic internet surfing/ word processing/ decent excel (sheets in Google land) usage( not as good as excel but more than enough for most students).
Using the Google apps was AMAZING for group projects! Very easy to share and work on documents at the same time. I never felt like office (even now when I use it daily for work) was as good/seamless as Google when sharing/collaborating files.
New sub ! Love ur vids ❤
Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you're enjoying them :)))
any other stationary you may need to bring with you? starting my first year of engineering next week, and just wanted to know if you needed anything other than some mechanical pencils and pens. for example, a compass, a protractor etc.
No I think that would cover pretty much everything! I’d also recommend getting some engineering notebook paper as that will come in handy a lot! The compass and protractor really are not necessary
Well done 👍
Thank you Brian! 😊❤️
Okay so one question about one detail that every engineering student does, why do yall use the TI calculators instead of the HP prime its cheaper and absolutely destroys it in performance, currently in my 2nd year of EE and thinking of buying the prime so am just wondering is there something fundementally wrong with it that everyone uses TI ? Great video btw really enjoy this one and the ipad review
I got mine back in highschool about 7-8 years ago and just didn't want to get a new one 😭 I've actually never heard of the prime, and I don't think they really matter all that much. Casio, TI, and other graphing calculators all do the same things just slightly different
Since apple released finalcut for iPad are u gonna use the the MacBook? :Dd
Nice video. Can I have the link to your wallpaper on the mac?
What Apple Watch dial are you using? It's cool and beautiful.
Simple question… how the hell you install Solidworks or Ansys in the MacBook? I do own an iPad, but I can’t fully migrate to iOS since it doesn’t run the previous programs
can i have a link for the wallpaper you used in this video? great one btw. I literally got motivated to study after watching this lol
Hey thank you for the kind words, it always pushes me to keep going when I actually help others 😂 And as for the wallpaper, it's from a wallpaper pack by a fellow tech UA-camr by the name Oliur. You can find the wallpapers through him, but because you have to pay for them I won't link it anywhere out of respect for him. They are sickkkkk and the rest of the wallpapers in the pack are really cool as well!
I really like your wallpaper, where can I find it?
Are MacBooks actually good for ME majors? Dont you have a lot of CAD software to use?
I'm going for an aerospace degree in the fall, would you recommend a 11 or 13 inch iPad?
Bro, how do you study Mechanical engineering with a Mac???!!!
As a Mechatronics Engineering Student, I am pretty sure you need the flexibility to have multiple OSes on your laptop, in order to use tons of applications and software that might be available for one OS only.
Do you have any problems with incompatible apps on Mac? I'll start my mechanical engineering study in September, and have a Mac, but I hear that programs like SolidWorks don't work on Mac, how do you work with this?
Have you run into any issues using a macbook throughout your courses as a engineer?
I have not because many of the engineering softwares I needed to use for school work, I would 95% of the time utilize the computers in the engineering labs. These computers had all of the applications I would need such as MATLAB, ANSYS, SolidWorks (etc) pre-installed on them. Whereas for me to use my own personal laptop it was always a headache to try to get a school license to download the softwares for free, or to essentially screen share from a computer in the lab. Plus, my friends and I would usually meet up to work on huge projects / assignments together and it was always easiest to just meet in a computer lab so they were always available to us. And for all other types of assignments you can easily utilize google workspace or microsoft office applications on the MBP.
I know this is a random question, but do you have a link for that wallpaper?
Where do you have the wallpaper from?
Hey! I need some advice. Is the M3 air enough for mechanical engineering with 16gb of ram? Unfortunately I can’t afford a pro.
I wonder what you are using your Ti 84 for that you can't just use an online calculator for.
Could you please write where you bought the glasses?
bro can you give me this wallpaer link it is really beautiful
Ive decided to go into mechanical engineering and i want to get an i pad for notes and stuff because i see how convenient it is, but i worry about softwares like solidworks. Will there ever be an instant in class where i would need it? Any advice would be amazingly appreciated!
Potentially.... every school's ME program will look different so it is impossible to say for sure.
I currently daily drive a windows pc with dedicated gpu for CAD (and other pc only software) and a pen-enabled device for notetaking.
Thus far (going into 3rd year), the vast majority of my classes have been lecture type courses where I only took notes. I have also taken a handful of design courses (labs) where I heavily used CAD programs for projects and coursework (mostly outside of the classroom). I also participate on an extracurricular competitive design team that heavily uses solidworks. Having a personal laptop is very beneficial for me because I am able to do CAD work and use engineering software anywhere and anytime I want, not just in a computer lab when it is open. Also, there are many "industry-standard" software packages students can get free licenses for that are pc only (many are windows only). Getting experience with such software while in school is helpful when applying for internships and jobs. A personal laptop makes this all of this more convenient.
In regard to taking notes on a tablet, I like it because it is easy to erase mistakes, easy to add screenshots and images, and a tablet is a little nicer to read my digital textbooks on than a laptop. I will also say that it is possible to take handwritten notes on a laptop using a usb/bluetooth pad & stylus although not as convenient.
If I had to choose between a laptop and a tablet, I would choose laptop. Access to pc only engineering software is more important to me than taking notes on a tablet. Access to engineering software has been an extremely important part of my education and development as an engineer. I can give up the "nice to have" digital notes and take paper notes instead.
Everybody's experience is different, and this is only one opinion.
Hope this helps!
@@Atlas_ yeah wow! Thank you so much that really does help clear up a lot for me, see im going into my first year and i doubt im going to get thrown right into the engineering software my first year. So i think imma buy a tablet type device(Such as the surface pro, and the ipad) and just keep the money saved for a more powerful type laptop with a dedicated gpu. I should also mention that i have a great desktop at home and i was hoping with a good laptop/tablet hybrid and my strong desktop at home id be okay.
The specs of the desktop is
I-7 intel cpu 11th gen
16gigs ram
3060
Do you think id be okay with my desktop at home, and use a surface pro 9 in class?
@themadchris666 i would recommend looking into the specific engineering degree program you are interested in to see what the school recommends you have. Many schools give recommendations for laptops/device specs, though your pc is more than powerful enough.
I won't give specific recommendations for tablet devices, but i do have classmates who use surface pros and others who use ipads.
Though, in the end, it's up to you to figure out what works best for you. I would highly recommend doing research into what you want (i.e., price, size, battery life, etc.) and what you don't want (device quirks etc.) That way you can make an informed decision.
Hope this helps!
12:32 bro super cool😎
Amazing video. How many blue gadgets 😂
No case for the glasses is crazy
I would suggest every engineering students to buy and ipad mini 6 th gen ... it has A15 bionic chip which is in iphone 13. I did all my desgining in my ipad it's so smooth I never felt it laggy it's just soo wow for it's budget
Another bagger.
Those moves man:
Thank you my man 🙏🏻 took a while to film that intro but it came out groovy for sure!
Cool wallpaper, do you know where I can get it?
It's from another content creator who goes by the name Oliur. This is from one of his wallpaper packs and out of respect for him I don’t want to just give them out. But check out his page for them! :)
how do you use solid works with an M1 chip MacBook Pro?
I've heard soooo many enginnering students not recommending Macs due to its incompatibility with the so called engineering appps, is it tru or just some cliche rumor. Pls answer i must choose a laptopp. Thankk uu
Only thing I have different was a Non programable Scientific Calculator like my TI-36xPro, most upper class professor wont let you have programable like Ti-84!
Honestly, don’t know how to program my calculator 😂 but that seems a little strict to me!
Nice song choice
Only the best around here 🫡
i am starting my engineering soon and here is what i plan to carry:
my ipad and apple pencil (64 gb cuz i am broke asf)
notebooks
calculator (scientific)
stationary
book marks
sticky notes
headphones and my smartphone
a power bank
i do have a laptop but its attached to my LCD system that i have made at home to work, so i cant really detach and carry it around but i guess above things will work just fine.
kindly drop down suggestions if i have anything else to my carry list :)
i also carry a geometrical maths set of apparatus!
Id say a microfiber cleaning cloth for your ipad! Using it every day during class will smudge up pretty fast! I'd give mine a good cleaning during my first class each day :)
And besides that you need some pencils!!!! Especially for engineering😂
Best of luck to your at university though🫡
feel you on the dented bottle lmao
where can I get the same wallpaper as yours?
hey just wanted to know what type of screen protector do you use or if ANY for the ipad
Hey, I use too but once it got worn out from writing on it so much I took it off and haven't replaced it since. I do reccomend any matte screen protector from amazon. I was using a generic one that came in a 3 pack for about $10. They're just as good as a PaperLike but cost so much less. The matte protectors reduce overhead glares which is especially useful in class so you can see the screen better, and they give your ipad a more paper-and-pencil feel while writing on it. I highly recommend getting one! :)
@@NathanLemoine so you just use the naked iPad screen right?? A recommendation - you should try the mothca matte screen protector for your iPad it isn't as rough as a paper and provides the protection similar to a tempered glass and probably create a short about your experience with it after a couple of weeks or so.
Currently no I do not, but since I graduated from college I rarely draw on my iPad screen anymore. But I’ll definitely look into it! Thanks for the recommendation 🙏🏻😇
im starting as a engeering student, I've got a MacBook Air m1 but a think I might switch to windows, which Windows laptop u recommend ?
bro engineerign with a mac is straight hell, i would suggest any asus or dell laptop above 500 dollars it will genuinely run any cad program faster plus you can game a little bit on it :)
hey!!, what's the wallpaper ur using?
Nice Wallpaper. Where did you get that from?
They’re from another creator who goes by the name Oliur on UA-cam! These are part of a wallpaper pack that he sells and out of respect for him I don’t want to give them out for free. But check out his channel as the pack was pretty cheap for a bunch just like this one :)
Desmos is way better then a stand alone calculator
Desmos is goated but don’t know if you’ll be able to take that with you to an exam 😂😭
You should tried the owala water bottle
Never heard of it before but I'll definitely look into them as I'm in need of a new one 😂
Hey, I ended up getting the Owala water bottle because of you and I already love it! 😂 appreciate the suggestion 😊
Just a guess, but do you perhaps like the color blue?
Could you tell? 😂😭
MacOS as an engineer? didn't engineering industry give up on trying to port their software to unix-like operating systems?
Were not allowed graphical calculators in engineering science in Belgium
Boooooooo! I mean it would only really help for calculus classes, but after that, you really only need a calculator for basic math and calculations and not many of the other features 😂
What’s the wallpaper used for all devices?
Hi, these are from a wallpaper pack by another creator who goes by the name Oliur! Please go check out his channel if you want to purchase them for yourself :)
I don’t like how the 2 hard classes he said were dynamics and thermodynamics because I got both of them this upcoming semester. 😢
Good luck bretheren 🫡 thermo isn’t the worst, but dynamics is impossible 😭
Macbook wallpaper?
I want that shirt.... Did I miss the link?
It's from Alphalete! My absolute favorite clothing store. I got this a little over 2 years ago now so it may not be in stock anymore but they have new releases about every month and a good mix between lifestyle and gym clothing!
Wallpaper ☺️
I need the wallpaper
Do your teachers let you use a graphing calculator?????? Mine dont.
Depends on the class. Engineering classes more likely, but for math classes no we weren’t 😭
Name of Macbook Wallpaper?
Casio FXCG50 >>>>>> TI 84 PLUS CE
According to some 😶
What are things should I buy for btech electronics communications engineering??
I’m not tooo sure as I didn’t major in that and didn’t know anyone who was. But I’d imagine most of everything I carried with me on a day-to-day basis will also work for you since we’re both STEM! 😊
I am in the same branch and I would say you don't need anything more than a laptop and few notebooks as most textbooks are available online. You don't really need any other thing that was mentioned by this guy. They are all nice to have but not need to have.
based loose stationery in the bag enthusiast
wallpaper??
wallpaper?
Song in the cinematic?
did you go to SU?
I did! Got my masters there and just graduated this past May! Are you there now??
I just slammed two pancakes while you went on about Alphalete smh
You’re either breathing those down or they’re tiny pancakes then 🙄
Not many engineers use Mac… like ever.
Can you pls do a Link with your Wallpaper😅
Hey, I would love too but I actually purchased these from another creator and I don’t wanna take his work. Check him out though, his channel is @oliur/ultralinx
I'm a CSEducation major but doing an Engineering course. Pls get notes, notes and notes PLS 🙂
link of the backpack please
It's an old backpack by Alphalete and they don't have it on their site anymore, but check their website to see if they have new versions of it!
@@NathanLemoine thanks, I have bad luck 😅
Subscribed because your editing techniques are legic! I have a youtube channel with 4k subs as well looking to up my editing game.
Ayeeee thank you so much! I checked out your channel and you're killing it too! Fellow tech head 😌 Keep grinding and I hope to see you at the top with me one day 😎😎
