    I watched this video about 8 years ago in Grade 5 Science class. I am now studying Civil Engineering at the University of Waterloo. To say this video inspired me would be an understatement.

    Can't thank you enough for making and posting this.Used it to sell engineering to a group of high quality 15/16 year old Physics students who were unsure about engineering and this totally sold it to them I would anticipate a significant uptake in engineering degrees from them. Thanks Philippa

      Engineering is applied math and physics. Plus stress. Engineering a lot of fun, until the managements gets involved. Bring coffee and a dark sense of humor. A social life is optional, very optional.

      Design engineer, Electrical engineer, Structural engineer, mechanical engineer, aerodynamics engineer. I work in aerospace. Aerospace engineer is a broad term that does not define the field of expertise.

      Aeronautical engineers to be precise.

  • @interstellarlapisthecccp4946
    @interstellarlapisthecccp4946 7 років тому +14

    'Engineer' is pretty much synonymous to 'design', though as a profession it also extends to the people who refine already existing designs and materials. This broad definition is why two Engineers can have very little in common when it comes to the work they do; one Engineer may design aircraft with expertise in physics while another can create new shampoo formulas with expertise in chemistry and biology. Really, an engineer can be anyone that works with materials or designs something... narrowing it down to pretty much any job in existence. Even a garbageman can be called a sanitation engineer.

    We're trying to demystify the engineering profession, particularly for young people. In Australia, and many other countries, we have a shortage of engineers and of people studying maths, science and technology subjects at senior levels. We're hoping this video will help inspire people to study these subjects and consider becoming engineers.

    First off, I love this Australian accent :')
    And I had no idea that's how they built our Burj Khalifa, and yes, our temperature do reach 50 degrees x-x. And I love the way this video was presented, it looks amazing!!
    Now I'm a new freshman to study Sustainable and Renewable energy engineering..It's something that I believe in, but I'm not much of a practical problem solver,, nor am I that interested in computer programming.. does that matter? Any engineers out there to share their university experience and say what are the challenges, advantages, and any piece of advice? Should I even study engineering, or change my major to something else?

  • @UoNFEBE
    @UoNFEBE  11 років тому +1

    Hi MrVman321, Engineering is a really varied profession and your work-life balance will depend greatly on your career choices. Different employers have different employment conditions and work cultures. Also, it will depend on the type of engineering role you move in to - management, consulting, research, field work, public sector, private sector etc. But it's certainly possible to have a successful career in this profession and maintain a happy and healthy personal life.

      @НикФедосеев-й9ь 6 років тому

      Hey. I myself am an engineer from Russia. Can I give my opinion, which will help you?
      Your choice will depend on several factors. Money is very important. If you have more than $ 30,000 for each year of study and knowledge for admission, choose America and Europe - the best universities (MIT, Stanford ...). If you have almost no money, then the choice is Russia, for example, the best university, Moscow State University is about $ 5,000 (300,000 rubles) per year.
      There are also famous universities in Europe - in Zurich (ETH Zurich), also in Germany and France with their great engineering tradition.
      Alternatives are Asia, China and Singapore. But I can say that there are differences in teaching. If you are not motivated, then no prestigious university like Oxford will ever make you a good specialist.

      I don't have any hobbies. My life since school (3 months ago) has just been working and modifying stuff on the computer at work to make it better, eg macros + barcodes combinations.
      I like to mostly be alone learning by watching videos and reading. I see people when i go to the beach or hiking, which is at least once a week. I'm always asking questions and learnign from everyone I talk to.
      All my hobbies my entire life have just been driven by wanting to create, improve, and most of all, curiosity.
