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!!
I’m in my second year of studying mechanical engineering and this made me SOOO excited for my life in the future
Same.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
I’m not even in high school yet and it makes me exited too for my future because this is one of my favorite jobs
Yes Tameer is an inspiration for all of us cause he is an all rounder. This is how everyone should organise their schedule. A balance in everything will definitely keep you happy physically and mentally.
KEEP THE WORK UP. Your definitely giving youth here goals and many are able to envision themselves reaching them cause you show them something to look forward to and information! Good job!
Ya I try my best 🙏
@@TamerShaheen How much is your Lenovo 17 inch laptop?
@@hassanwithclash18Probably around 600 or 500 dollars
The fact that your friends also have good jobs and y'all are living together is really nice.
Tamer, thank you for being so realistic and candid in the making of this video. It's hard to find anything close to reality out on UA-cam especially when it comes to daily routines. You inspire me to persist in my Mechanical Engineering studies. A huge salute from Ireland.
Hey Tamer! I love the vids; I’m a sophomore in Electrical Engineering and it’s always informative to see what engineers do
I have been watching your videos and following your journey for awhile:) glad to see you killing it !
woah Tamer, this has been insanely well made! Great insights into your everyday life. So beautiful
As a mechanical engineering student, really love your videos and you giving me a lot of inspiration, keep going!!
Man even if you made this video an hour longer, I would kinda just watch. How interesting. Funny how i did not notice when it even ended, I was just so caught up with this amazing content.. It's kinda good though how you kept it short, nice and brief. Awesome schedule and it helps to know how much discipline you put in your life.
Tameer I have been watching your vids since u had 25k subs man you channel grew a lot. I have been watching your vids in highschool but now I am in my first year of mechanical engineering and I am still watching. The tips you give in your videos are very helpful. I love your vids man keep it up. 👍
Hi Tameer! your videos motivate me so much! you are a great person! Keep up the great informative videos😊
Great Video! Lots of information and insights you brought up about what you do! Appreciate you
Bro I love your vids. They are sooo extremely helpful as an aspiring engineer.
Amazing video, I am currently finishing my bachelor in Mechatronics and trying to find a job so it's like a stressful situation for me right now choosing the right direction. I hope I'll find what suits me the best. Enjoying your content keep it up!
I truly appreciate this video that you made. I’m a Mechanical Engineer and I’ve been applying to startups with the goal of doing what you are doing right now. Thank you for showing your schedule and I appreciate including BJJ in there because I want to pick that up again! Please keep creating more content!
Hi .. did u find the placement you were looking for
Fantastic video! Showing engineering jobs in a good (and honest) light like this is absolutely vital. I very nearly gave up on my engineering passion for compsci because of all the bad things people were saying about engineering jobs, and I suspect that others have considered something similar. It is partly because of videos like yours and Wissam Seif's that I haven't! Keep up the great work!
Glad you like this content!
underrated comment
We'll 90% of engineering jobs aren't like this. And the pay is shit
Your videos show us real life as an engineer working. I like your ideas in showing the video showing us your life, and how to manage... Thanks and keep going !
Sick video, loved the bit at 4:40. Would be entertaining to see your day in the life during builds
This is litterly my dream job as a coming up Mechanical Engineer. I'm working on getting my solidworks certification and and hope to graduate fall of 2023. I hope I get a job like yours someday. Love your content
keep the great inspiration and educational content, cant wait to see your next vid upload!
Man ur videos are really awesome, i never saw these kind of quality videos in mechanical....u r nailing it keep doing it regularly bro it's really awesome....and do some robotics course video for mechanical engineers also....thanks in advance 😍😍😍😍
I’m just starting my life as an engineering student in college in Scotland (little different to American colleges) and working my way up to uni but these videos have given me such a fantastic insight into how courses work, what routes I have and most importantly a realistic mindset about what I’m going to do. I cannot thank you enough, you’ve definitely earned a new sub.
I have just completed my HND in mechanical engineering and have just started uni direct entry to 3rd year. I wish u the best of luck in your studies, it will work out 💪.
Currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer in Malaysia and hoping to work in the United States if there're any opportunities! It was great watching you shared about daily working life and it's truly inspiring!
Keep up the great work man! I am a recent ME grad and just found your page. I have been enjoying your videos, thank you!
Glad you like them :)
super informative!! keep em coming
Great video, love it. Thank you.
Respect for you! Its Very difficult normal day, but its very productive too.
haha very relatable, especially the part with not finding the tool in the workshop, cad not doing what you want and being happy when you can do actual work instead of all the meetings.
It's nice to see an engineer's real life day before becoming the same.❤️
OMG, bro ive been watching you since 20k subs (which doesnt seem long ago) and now youve passed 100k wow. So quickly aswell, congrats man
Haha thanks for watching my videos for so long 🙏
Hey Tamer! Congrats on 100K subs!
What an inspiration keep up the good job
Hi ! Thank you for sharing all this.
I'm a chemical engineering student! your video gives me a lot of inspirations to do things
Im a Mechanical engineering students and you are so much inspiration to us.
Congrats on 100k Tamer! 🎉
Thank you!!
Love this type of content, please make more 🙏
For sure, will do
Fine video tamer your job is very interesting
browsed the backpack 2:35, binge-maked custom designs - gorgeous company. THEY LET YOU CUSTOMIZE LOOOOTS.
Hi first year industrial electronics engineering student here from Pakistan
Your videos are pretty informative and relatable and i am thankful to you for making them in your busy schedule .
Happy to see they provide you value :)
you are doing my dream job .............thank for the clarity
Great content as usual. I'm about to apply for Chemical engineering and I wish there was someone doing similar content for it.
Yeah sadly there is not alot of Chem engineers doing vlogs and doing work tour and day in life of ChemEng , but if you want to watch Chem Eng UA-camr you should check “chemical engineering guy” he do videos talk about chem eng related topics and also have playlist of teaching videos for thermo , material balance and reactor design and hysys .etc , stay cool bro and good luck
This video makes me comfortable about my procrastination habits which is happening right now as i'm watching this video 🥺
Thank You Big Bro!, Love from India❤️🤗
I am an incoming freshman at Ain Shams University (Egypt), majoring in mechatronics. Your videos are so inspirational to me and intensifiy my desire to be an engineer and to see the world from the eyes of one (maybe think of Ta3meya cook in terms of torque) I was surprised to know you're from Egypt! It will be awesome of you could make a video about your story. I'm sure it will be very interesting.
I’m glad my videos bring you value!! I’ll look into making a video like that, but where did u think I was from…if not Egypt? 🤣
@@TamerShaheen Opss. I saw the flags at 9:27 and thought that was Egypt's flag, and your name sounded Arabic. Sorry 😐.
Keep it up you made me know more thanks
Great video!
im currently in my first semester of software engineering and I've realized that I don't wanna just sit in front of a desk everyday and code, even though I enjoy it and and good at it. Ive been watching a lot of your videos because I'm interested in switching to mechanical engineering since I have always wondered how things work. I am also very interested in cars and hands on things like you showed in your video. My main concern with switching majors is that the classes will be too hard for me. I am in pre calculus right now instead of calculus, which has already put me a semester behind. I would also be a semester or two behind my peers which makes me feel like I'm dumb since I'm not as good as them. I am literally torn between which major I should do. I just don't want to be too overwhelmed with the physics, chemistry and math in mechanical engineering that I wish I would have stuck with software.
I’m in the same position as you. I am an information systems major. I’m going to tell you the same thing I keep telling myself. It’s never too late to change your mind! Some people follow thru with a major that they hate and then get a job that sucks, only to realize they wish they would have majored in something else. It’s better for people like us to catch it while it’s still early. Let’s remember that it may take us longer, but if we work hard. It’ll definitely be worth it in the end. Best of luck!!!
If you don't take mechanical then you are going to regret for your entire life
You can always pivot to a software career at any point since you'll already have the engineering background
just double major it don't switch
I similarly planned to go for mechanical engineering over computer science, but mechanical design feels 10 times harder and exhausting than programming.
Great quality video
as a fellow Egyptian this channel is very useful and inspirational!
This was perfect for my middle school robotics class until it got to the jujitsu part, lol. Definitely not going to assign it to my kids when I have a sub, but will be great when I can stop it at that part. (Jujitsu is great, 30 kids trying out jujistu in my classroom not so great.) Thanks for this look into the life of a mechanical design engineer.
Love the Le Festin montage at 4:44 :P
Unbelievable life schedule u are following man....i also working in machine building startup only work schedule too hectic we need to documentation work, design work, drafting work , calculation work, proposal work one parts came after manufactured we need to check everything is properly assembly..then we need to take trails...hooo being a mechanical engineer is not easy...... But anyhow u manage time for gym and gitsu these are really man...u r my ideal inspiration this is how I want to live but I can't due to some resistance in my surroundings....my congrats man for ur work
interesting video very inspiring id love more videos like this please!!!!!!
For sure
I’m a mechanical engineering student and this makes me really excited for my future career :)
Makes me happy to hear :)
4th year Mechanical engineering here hehehe i love your videos thanks.
Such an amazing work you have going on.
I want to throw in a question, can you share tips on how to get a fully remote job especially when you're not living in Europe.
After 10 years of working as a mechanical design engineer, it's no longer fun. You know every program, every operation, every mechanism. You know the calculations by heart. Customers want "fast and cheap", time is short, products are "supposed to break" because this is their design assumption and there is nothing you can do about it even though you know you should. Today I would choose a different career path.
Hey man, I’m 3 semesters out from graduating, and I’m also a BJJ practitioner. Ive been training for 5 years and it’s a great way to decompress as you put it. I’m about 160 pounds, and from your videos you look close to that too. Maybe we’ll face each other at a comp someday lol
I love your home office setup
Appreciate it
Excellent Video Sir
I am not in telegram sir
Im a mechanical engineering student and i wish some day to professional job like you . good luck bro
Cool bro
Love your keyboard
Great editing
Good video man can you please make a video top 10 best majors that will get you a job after college
I see a lot of moving around. Your office could likely improve productivity and organization a lot by moving the most commonly used tools into the area they're used in and ensuring all tools are tagged and accounted for.
Crazy to see someone my exact future life. I don’t know if it’s sad or inspiring
It’s definitely cool
Come on that is my dream job. inshAllah one day. Keep it up. This is why you should be an enginee.
Hey 👋
Are u really from Egypt ?!!
Pretty inspiring stuff actually, I like how u documented ur day and the routine u built
Can you make a video of networking tips / how to get a referral? I heard most positions are filled from references rather than purely a resume.
Or can you show us tips on how you manage your time? How do you have time to work full time and create high quality videos? I love your journey!
Those are some good ideas, coming up!
Bro that's really interesting
quality vid my guy
Great video as always man. As a creator, I have to ask: what website/software do u use to make your aesthetic thumbnails?
This was very interesting to learn about it seems like a rewarding field Tamer! If someone has a BA in any subject and has an MA in Mechanical Engineering. Would they still have a good chance of getting a job in the field?
Thanks for sharing your video! :)
Thanks man
Solid works got on my nerves in high school 😤
Workshop and cad skills are the most important
Hey Man, next time try draw with NX Siemens, its more organic than solidWorks
Hi Tamer, your videos are always great.
I'd like to ask, what's the model of your Thinkpad?
As an engineer 2 years out of school I feel much better that an engineer who worked at Tesla has similar issues to me. (Sometimes SolidWorks just doesn't work out and yes I scroll through TikTok as well lol.)
Hey @Tamer, congrats on another great vid! I’ve been binging your vids for the last 2-3 months bc I decided at 40 to change careers and duel-bachelor in aerospace and mechanical engineering. Your vids have been instrumental, but how did you afford Solidworks as a student? Was there a student version/discount license? I was hoping to be able to practice with it while in my general courses. Thanks in advance.
As a student, the only way I know of to get SolidWorks for “free” is to join an engineering club or design team at your school. They usually give their members free licenses. You could also choose to go with a different CAD software like FreeCAD or Fusion 360. Those usually are free.
@@TamerShaheen oh ok thankya sir
love the videos man! so you lived in ontario and then moved to LA? how was that like!?
You are from Egypt, I conclude it from your gloves :)
Great job
6:57
Solidworks being Solidworks as always
This is my dream job 😊
Could you make a video on essentials and desk setup
Sensei ❤️
Love it
I would have chosen electrical engineering, but when I saw your videos, I think to change my mind.
Awesome
Would you be able to make a tutorial on stress-strain analysis using SolidWorks?
When I graduate I hope I can be just like you
The dinner was rice, avocado and chicken? Great video!
4:44 Le Festin song in the background
Thanks
The first sentence of this video are so in sync with the beat of the background music that it sounds like you're rapping
I looked away from the video and heard the solidworks noise and just about had a heart attack
Hey bro! When you applied for any of the engineering jobs, were you also asked to submit your university grade transcript? Like the document where your academic performance history is shown?
Could you start mechanical engineering courses like Roberics or design 🤔 it would greate
