Thank you both for sharing your personal experiences and views in this area. My personal takeaway from this discussion is: although I may not need to know the nuts and bolts of how numerical software works to be a good simulations engineer, I'd still pursue the knowledge in my free time, and I'll enjoy the journey no matter how long it takes to master the material.
I literary searched this question and youtube brought me here. I see the matrices flow in front of my eye in the class and I'm like are we supposed to know these? Now I'm feeling a little better
Thanks, Parham! I just need to mention that while you don't have to solve matrixes yourself, this doesn't mean that there is nothing to learn! Far from it actually - you should learn a LOT more about the practical application of FEA, and funny enough, it feels easier to learn the matrixes (there are books about those!)... the practical thing is way more subtle and elusive. Good luck with your learning! Ł
I think Darrick that in such short messages we would have to be really careful about what we think "math" is. And while I do agree that you just don't get the time to do differential equations at the office, I still think that the ability to estimate things is super needed (and a rare thing as far as I can tell).
Hey Ashish! As I hold a Ph.D. this may sound weird, but I feel that it's not the title that counts, but what skills do you have. Of course, doing a good Masters gives you a chance to learn more, but so does a good job, etc. I don't like judging people by their titles (working in academia for a decade does that to a person I guess :P), but at the same time, "on average" better-educated people tend to be better specialists and have more skills. Perpahs this is because they had more opportunity to grow, or maybe because that education really helped them, and possibly both (with a LOT of other factors as well). But is this a "rule"? I don't think so. I don't follow "news" that much, but I think I've heard (don't quote me on that) that Tesla hires you based on skills, not education... if that is really the case (and I'm not sure), then I'm not alone with the skills evaluation. In the end, if you know all you need to know and you do a good job... I'm fine with whatever education you come with. The thing is... that usually folks that know what they need to know are well educated - but I don't see any reason why there couldn't be exceptions :) I guess that what works for the people with skills are their "educational titles" - after all, if you hold a Ph.D. or Masters there is a "potentially higher chance" that you may have the needed skills, so you have a bigger chance to be recognized perhaps. And in the end, I haven't applied for a job in... last 15 years, as I run my own business... so I can't really share experiences there :)

Hey John! I'm glad that you found our discussion useful for you in some way! All the best in your learning journey Mate!
What a relief hope is restored 🤗
Ha! I'm really glad :) I've been struggling with this for quite some time myself - I know how that feels!

Great video and topic. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Grega! I'm really glad that you like it :)
IN the industry, as an analyst, you need FEA + HANDBOOKS + CODES. There is no time for MATH.

Does ms in mechanical really necessary after B-Tech in mechanical to become best/master in FEA ??

@@Enterfea Thanks for an explanation 🙏🏻, it is very helpful.
@@Ku_Chha Sure thing Mate! All the best!
As an Economics Graduate i say YES.
I am nowv studying Mechanical Engineering so if one gets this Joke, place a thumbs up 😂.
Economist abuse Math 😂
