Ali, you have no idea how much you’re videos are helping me. im currently in school for pre engineering (community college) and taking the electrical engineering route and all these videos give me so much hope and faith. i currently work at a Jail as a part time corrections officer and was 5 days away from starting the police academy and just knew something didn’t feel right. now that im full time, while taking pre calc 2 rn i love being busy and feeling the struggle and when i feel at doubt, i watch you’re vids cause you already went through the struggle so it gives lots of hope. Thanks man! much love from AZ
Hey Louie, thanks a lot man, it really means a lot to hear something like this -- this alone makes me feel like the channel is worth it, having made a difference in one persons life. Are there other things you're struggling with? What would you like to see videos on?
@@alithedazzling maybe some things that some of the other viewers would wanna see is maybe like good text books for Calc 1,2,3 or physics, EE. Since the word around the streets is most instructors don’t help out a lot, we have to self teach ourselves pretty much. That and maybe from your personal life how you did it. How you managed you’re day and time with school, free time(if you had any) and how much time you had and what sacrifices had to be done
Here is a tip: First Semester Engineering class - *Intro to Engineering* . This class is for ONE and ONE THING ONLY: To WEED OUT those that cannot follow directions TO THE LETTER. They ask you to do dumb things and format drawings in certain ways etc. They want to get rid of those that cannot just follow directions exactly, or those that have a problem with authority. If you are one of those that "wants to do things your own way" this class will send to a liberal arts degree.
Fuck... I study EE at night and don't really have time to socialize, enter clubs nor projects, I only have time to work my full time job, go to school and go home to study and occasionally on my little side business...
@@alithedazzling that's when I study and catch up to everyone, during the week I have no time to study since I get home at 1am and have to be up at 6am.
Can't wait for your project update! Definitely interested to work and learn the necessary skills. I haven't really gotten much practical opportunities.
I will study in university next year and I was curious which faculty should I study. Now I know what I want in my life. Thanks for everything Ali, we will be together at least for 4 or 5 years 😉❤
This video is awesome. As a high school senior who thinks electrical engineering is the right choice for me, this video really helped me internalize pretty much everything when figuring out my college plans. Thank you so much.
If you want to get hands on experience you dont actually need an Internship. Just develop stuff at home. Learning by doing cant be more effective if you can go through many fun projects without all of the paperwork in the companies. All you need is a soldering iron, a computer, maybe a multimeter and a few bucks for parts and you can create awesome stuff at home.
I just downloaded this video for Future reference Because this tips are very helpful to be honest!... To all Freshman's seeing my comment I highly suggest this channel for you Thanks sir for your videos it helps me a lot improving
Hi Ali, I'm a big fan. I read your book and I loved the advice on networking. I'm currently learning about power engineering and meeting up with a local engineer and it's very exciting to learn more about the profession (ill be an ECE freshman next year). I just wanted to know if you had some good textbook suggestions for someone who is struggling a bit with Electricity and Magnetism (the second calculus based physics course) with an emphasis on Electromagnetism so I can practice over the summer.
Hi Ali, I am a new subscriber here.. thank you so much for all your help. I am mature student of Electrical engineering.. I just started my first week.. I did my Bachelor degree in Architecture long time ago.. I love designing but I hate to be in front of computer all day (drafting and designing). I was working in the mines before and interested more into the combination of field work and computer work.. I always love maths.. i remember I feel so so about physics but I feel this way because I never have good teacher and always try to learn from books on my own. Do you think I can work in the mines again as Electrical engineer? And get the mix of field and computer/office based work?
Thanks for all the free value in these videos Ali, great content. I'm an energy systems engineer student looking at grad school for electrical or mechanical next year. I'm a little scared of doing cad or matlab all day with mechanical engineering and scared of staring at circuit designs all day as an electrical engineer. I want to choose something that lets me tinker with my hands and build things. Of course computers will be necessary but I fear getting stuck in a cubicle all day being condemned to something monotonous. I would your opinion on this as I've seen in several of your videos that your top priority is also to get exciting, challenging, and varied work.
My solution to this was not to work for a big company, and to get into research and development where I can do many things in my phd program -- its really hard to give advice on this but sounds like your main concern is getting bored doing the same thing over and over, my way to overcome this was just stack up many different skills and work on different projects whenever I can. Hope this helps
I'm a freshman that's shooting for a degree in EE. I'm 23, and I used to be a welder/fabricator so the electrical side of things is a whole new world. I feel your pain in wanting something you can tinker with and not getting stuck in one area.
The video was great. But I got a question.. How do I know Electrical engineering is meant for me ? Because sometimes I have difficulty understanding few things.
hey I'm an 8th grader That's going into freshman year of Highschool that loves all tech and does all the hands on tech I can possibly do I love computers, math, building stuff with electronics, solving problems that I need to overcome to make it work and right now I'm thinking of buying an Arduino since I've already made a Homelab, tons of desktop computers since I flip them to make money. My question is that from your perspective do you think I will enjoy electrical engineering since right now I'm finding electrical engineering quite fascinating for my future and its something I would like to do for my future job and college degree.
Can you recommend some other books to understand EE as a freshman? And maybe your favorite Zeppelin songs and fav digital games. I still hate Jimmy Page, but I love John Paul Jones and John Bonham tho .
I love physical graffiti the album -- ten years gone, the rover, but I also like some from the first album Led Zeppelin I -- communication breakdown, your time is gonna come, ahh man, too many haha how about you?
@Ali the Dazzling oh dude it's super cool that you're in these area too. tbh my choices are pretty similar with you but i am looking EE like a multidicipliner way and a guarantee. But still my biggest dream is to understand human perspective of Nietzsche. Maybe after PHD look for some philology or anthropology. I am from Turkey so this realistic view of you has impact on me too. I wrote a reply to your last video. My favorite Zeppelin song is probably Tangerine. A bit romantic and bluesy but more of it, playing and singing is super cool. Thanks Ali. You have a great channel . I am sure now that I will not go into game development or English literature etc .
@@themoodyjazz2924 wow, very happy to hear. You can find ways to connect with your artistic/deeper side, I have no doubt about it. I will listen to Tangerine!
Ali I’m taking electromagnetism right now and I’m not loving it so far. Do you think EE will be a tough degree for me if I don’t do well in This class?
Electromagnetics is like a redo of Calc 2/3 and Physics, none of which were my favorite. You should be comfortable in your first 2-3 circuits/digital logic/electronics (diodes and transistors) classes. Those are big foundations for everything, and you can find your niche from there.
To be honest unless you get involved in very specific fields (communications, highpower, high accuracy systems) you wont need to much of electromagnetism. I mean you should understand the fundamentals but just keep fighting to pass your classes.
@Ali I am 43 years old and would like to go back to school for electrical engineering. It has always been my passion. However I am trying to determine if I should proceed with taking an all online program at Arizona State University or going to the University of West Florida where I would go on campus at least during the higher level classes. Can you please give me your opinion on this? Thanks so much!
This depends entirely on what you want to get out of it. I always push people to go in person where you can interact with professors directly and meet others, join clubs, etc. -- however sometimes the professors are not as good and you're better of teaching yourself. If you have a family and want to prioritize that, and view the degree as just something you want to do on the side, then the online program should be good enough. I am making a ton of assumptions and there are tons of missing variables here, but I personally would pick an in-person program any day if my goal is to learn and be engaged with hands-on practical knowledge and not just some online slides.
@@alithedazzling thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. Well it's definitely not something that I just want to do on the side. My passion is technology and always has been. I actually studied electrical engineering in high school. My high school at the time was the only high school that had an electronics program. We used the same textbooks for the bachelors of electrical engineering program from the University of West Florida. I took this course all four years of my high school. After high school I joined the Navy and went into avionics. I decided the military wasn't for me so I got out and pursued my interest in information technology but my brain always goes back to electrical engineering and wishing I would have done it. It wasn't until your videos I became extremely motivated and determined to just do it because I am absolutely obsessed with technology and I want to engineer and design. My grandfather was also an engineer but a mechanical engineer. However he designed the first computer for a company called Monsanto many years ago. So engineering is in my blood. Lol. Anyway I just thought I would give you a little history of my life. Your videos have really helped me come to the realization that electrical engineering is what I have wanted to do ever since I was 14. Keep up the great work and best of luck to you!
I'm in high school and hoping to study EE in college. I'm wondering if I will need to know any coding in college and if I should study it in high school? Also any other advice on what to study?
Totally Unrelated, in my physics class, there are a lot of students using chegg just to get by and pass, yet they are engineering majors. Is this going to affect them greatly on their later classes? I’m just curious. I wouldn’t ever do that because I feel physics is so important to learn in engineering, especially the fundamentals and basics.
if i want to take the FE EXAM to work in IT department , which major in these should i pick ? ( FE Chemical \ FE Civil \ FE Electrical \ FE Environmental \ FE Industrial \ FE Mechanical \ FE General )
Im just curious as to what Mr. Ali or any of you in the comments who are EE or studying EE are minoring in? Still a freshman in all this and nontrad at that (34yo) so any insight would be appreciated
where I went to school we didn't really need to have a minor -- I don't find it necessary, but if you absolutely need one I'd pick either 1) computer science 2) something non science related that you are super passionate about like music or something
I will consider anyone who is willing to work hard, wants to learn new things, and is super interested in the topic. Their background or age is almost irrelevant
7th point is crucially important, I rewatch your videos regularly to integrate them in my mind.
Glad you find them useful! More to come :)
Same
Can you tell me what resources you used as I am also going to start my ee degree this august@@alithedazzling

yup,definetly to weed out the "weak"
I will be prepared then
Thank you so much Ali Im so lucky to discover your channel !!!
I'm so glad I found your channel, and you actually reply and try to help people. Thank you.
Helping people is the most gratifying feeling in the world

How is EE? Are you liking it so far? You got this!!!
@@shyjy6241 yeah I like a lot, it can be challenging but worth it
Get student loans and quit your job. How can you learn anything by working full-time? Pick one, lol.
Thank you Ali! Im starting in the summer and Im just so excited!
Good luck!!
Can't wait for your project update! Definitely interested to work and learn the necessary skills. I haven't really gotten much practical opportunities.
7a: get an internship
7b: watch my videos
lol
Nice to see uploading!
Will start uploading a lot more soon :)
The summer program is going to help a lot because I haven’t been seeing one or gotten one because I am a freshman
I will study in university next year and I was curious which faculty should I study. Now I know what I want in my life. Thanks for everything Ali, we will be together at least for 4 or 5 years 😉❤

How can I stay motivated to study , am an A student but all of a sudden just lost the zeal to study and just lazy
Thank you Ali, this was a very helpful video✨. Are the research jobs in Electrical engineering limited?
not if you like the research topic
I have just graduated with bachelors degrees in electrical engineering, its a tough course ...
Thanks for all the free value in these videos Ali, great content. I'm an energy systems engineer student looking at grad school for electrical or mechanical next year.

i have a video on that "is EE for you?"
Bro your videos are so helpful
Make more video about EEE for beginners students
what specifically?
hey I'm an 8th grader That's going into freshman year of Highschool that loves all tech and does all the hands on tech I can possibly do I love computers, math, building stuff with electronics, solving problems that I need to overcome to make it work and right now I'm thinking of buying an Arduino since I've already made a Homelab, tons of desktop computers since I flip them to make money. My question is that from your perspective do you think I will enjoy electrical engineering since right now I'm finding electrical engineering quite fascinating for my future and its something I would like to do for my future job and college degree.
No-brainer, absolutely
Can you study electrical engineering if you were not that really good in math during Yr secondary level
Can you recommend some other books to understand EE as a freshman? And maybe your favorite Zeppelin songs and fav digital games. I still hate Jimmy Page, but I love John Paul Jones and John Bonham tho .
oh I found your video about that topic. thanks again . still waiting for fav musics and games of yours.

Should i do btek or persue a 1year industrial training ehich is in civil im all into eee or should i persue wilp
Can I study it if i never did a project
What are some personal projects worth doing
whatever problem you can solve for your own life
Did you work in the field during your studies?

what does chegg even do
they're screwed for their later classes for sure, and especially if they wanna have jobs relating to things that require deep understanding

thats a really tough question, I can't think of a single one
How can I find an internship or a summer program as a freshman? Because I applied and applied.but I have no experience
as freshman its probably harder, try to see if you can do research with a professor over the summer if you cant find one
