    Engineering is a diverse profession that branches out into every industry that makes our world go round. For a high school student wanting to get into engineering, the choices can be rather daunting. While there is certainly the ability to change your mind later, picking the right degree from the get-go is always better. From electrical to civil engineering, every branch has subsets of technology that you can focus on.
    The key is finding which degree path you want so that when it comes time to find a job, you can find something that you want to do with your life. Let’s take a look at the various choices you have for engineering education.

    Overall good video, but the content on chemical engineering is misleading. Chemical engineering is much more focused on upscaling and fine tuning large scale chemical processes than developing new chemicals. Development is more likely to be a chemist. The courses are more focused on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and chemical kinetics.

    • @WWlllSOLDIER
      @WWlllSOLDIER 4 роки тому +10

      100% true. What is described in the video really is more what a chemist would do. While a chemical engineer is really the up scaling of the chemical process

    Dear Future Engineers,
    This video is somewhat misleading. It pigeonholes specific degrees to specific industries. Once you have earned your ABET accredited engineering degree, you'll find there are many different industries where your knowledge is wanted/needed. I have a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, yet I work in the aerospace industry.

      @@spyrobandicoot3810 You mean the different kinds of Engineering? There are many different kinds of engineering (the ones in the video are more common which grants you the ability to enter a range of different career path), There are so much more but they're a little more specific, if you pick those, that means you've a pretty good idea on what you want to do as your future career. An example would be Renewable Energy Engineering, if you go for that you'll most likely enter a field of innovating or even creating new and sustainable ways of generating power (this is just a general description of it, search it up if you're interested).

      @@zenaigonzalez435 Well, to be honest, I don't know much, not an expert, but civil engineering could branch out/ relate to environmental engineering a little bit, as you could do something related to building waterways or infrastructures like dams and etc. Although they branch out later on as one focuses on infrastructure while Environmental Engineering is more specific in terms of the chemical and biological. That's all I know. :D

    The salaries are all misleading in the sense that they are all median salaries.
    The highest paid engineers today are software engineers, electrical engineers and biotechnical engineers. But these facts are not based on the median salaries.
    There are a lot of people working in software and electronics and thus the median go down in comparison to Mechanical and Civil engineers

    I have a question for anyone with experience in both mechanical and electrical engineering. I have interest in bits of both fields and am curious, would the study of mechanical engineering allow for a more intuitive understanding of electrical engineering? Like is there enough cross-over between the two fields to merit major study in both? My hope is that diving into mechanical engineering first would give me a well-rounded base for which to begin furthering my understanding of the electrical side of things. Is this a faulty assumption? Or is it worth it to know both?
    Also, would working with robotics inherently utilize a mixture of knowledge from both fields? Because that is also something I find interesting and it would be a bonus to know I'd automatically be potent in the field having studied the other fields.

It’s basically an amalgamation of the two fields

    • @ConcerningReality
      @ConcerningReality  2 роки тому +2

      Chemical engineering is very in-demand, nearly every product today requires some sort of chemical engineer/chemist to make it. That said, chemistry is it's own beast, so definitely ensure you enjoy and like it before you invest time in it. Chemical engineering and chemical engineering technology are very similar, but generally technology degrees are less math and a little bit more focused on application. In the field, the normal ChemE degree is probably more valuable if you can get it, but there's plent of jobs available for a tech degree too.
