Meet three mechanical engineers who are designing the next generation of jet engines at a major US company. They explain how their curiosity about how things work eventually led them to advanced engineering degrees and cool careers with aircraft engines.

    So many people crapping on engineers, yet most of these commenters probably don’t know the amount of math and science necessary to design these engines and planes

    Never knew if mechanical was for me. I just took mechanical because of my JEE rank. But now when I see bikes running on roads, with a chance that they may be running with a contribution from me, that's enough to put a smile on my face. Love what I do. Feel lucky to have taken up mechanical.
  • Mechanical engineering King of all engineering.πŸ›©πŸšŸπŸšπŸš€βœˆπŸ›₯🚒
  • I studied Mechanical Engineering.I did a Five Year Indentured Apprenticeship,after which I went to University.The Areas of Engineering cover (the main areas) are Mechanical,Electrical/Electronics, Civil/Structural,and Aeronautics.In my career I was associated with several Engineering Institutions. Engineering in my day when I entered it,was very specific in its areas.Nowadays it is completely different in areas.In Universities you now have Major/Minor Subject Degrees.In my day,you did not have that.I wonder what Engineering would be like in 50 Years time.

    After studying mechanical engineering for four years, I realize the jobs are very different from what I expected. The massive knowledge you have learnt on course does not have too many direct relation to the actual work. Ultimately, I start to find a software engineer job and writes down my own program using Python, JAVA, C/C++. Now I am applying for a conversion CS master program and training Leetcode algorithms questions at the same time. This is way much more interesting than mechanical engineering job. Hope I can work as a software developer in the next job season.
  • I finished mechanical engineering and currently preparing for my licensure exam πŸ’• 5 years for studying and 1 year for preparing the licensure exam. I'm almost done!! YEHEY!! And my hair are falling so sad, so much stress

    But in India most of mechanical engineers works for IT company πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    Very inspiring video for me as a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student.. but i doubt that it's actually that fun and challenging as the way it's presented in the video

    ME will be sitting in a desk, reviewing drawing designs, specifications, material and manufacturing processing, meetings, updating documents, revisions, review changes, revisions, meetings, waiting for feedback from suppliers etc, testing of parts or systems, documenting test reports, write testing procedures, things like that. It depends where you work. All these require scientific background, I used a lot of material mechanics when revising drawings, and used trigonometry when designing in my first ME job. Also, as an ME you will have to know government regulations, you will get training on that and apply it when documenting your work. So engineers don't always sit and play with machines. They have bigger responsibilities
  • Here in Brazil mechanical engineers will rarely work in a role like this. Unfortunately the market requires us to work as managers and other similar professions.

    2min of silence for the Indian kids who think this is what mechanical engineers do after graduating from a tier 3 college
  • @ze1184
    Believe me, they are pretendding that mechanical engineering work is fun. In reality, endless meeting and documentation make the work boring and drive people crazy.
  • @RidersNepal7236
    One of neighbor is also mechanical engineer from Institute of Engineering (IOE),Nepal. He works in GE aviation at Aircraft engine manufacturing plant.
  • I love to work with such kind and beautiful enthusiasm people because I am a mechanical engineer but still not doing this kind of work. I love to play with machines really
  • @orion_noir1219
    OMG ive been trying to do that style. ImpressiveπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  • I work in general aviation and I love it , just a nice small shop . Do your basic 100 hours it’s awesome man
