I'm a CS major but Mechanical Engineering is not "slightly outdated" imo. Any type of machinery will always have mechanisms
I mean its not gonna stop being useful; but he is right that CS has faster industry growth and is a fresher industry that has more potential.
@@grumpyyellowfang3344 CS having faster growth doesn't change the fact that mechanical engineering is not slightly outdated, which is the claim I refuted.
@@grumpyyellowfang3344 mechanical engineering is not just mechanisms, basically everything that srrounds us except for buildings is mechanical engineering. The structure of everything is mechanical engineering. If computer industry will grow also mechanical engineering will grow because all the components have to be assembled together. Mechanics is in everything because it's a very large part of physics
Most mechanical engineers will be able to code soon anyway as it’s being added to the syllabus so it is definitely staying in date
Yeah it's not outdated at all but his head is in the right place and he seems to be going to college for the right reasons.
"Mechanical engineer is outdated"
Okay, let's see you code a billet into existence out of thin air
No, but the matrix administrator might can do that.
It involves coding
Abe bdsk, mechanical engineering is really outdated.
No good jobs.
Even autocad is a “software designed by computer science people
@@rv264 Don't do uneducated comments.
Mech engineer can be a software engineer But a software engineer cant be mechanical engineer.
Actually the thing with mechanical is that no-one is ready to provide internship or training but needs fully talented engineers
The worst part is that these industries don’t quantify what fully talented engineers are.
They always need people with 70 years of experience
Found an intership after sending100ish CVs. But it's fun !
Exactly 😐😔
As an aerospace engineering graduate - yes. People are only looking for X years of experience. After struggling for five years I'm studying something else now. Thanks engineering
outdated? The moment we say any engineering is outdated we're fvck.
True, engineering is much more important.
yea, although its probably because of the money too. Why go for mechanical when CS earns more?
@@boreddude3898 how about interest, passion and academic inclination?
I love my field and study, and absolutely hate writing and debugging code (also super mid at it), wouldn’t be happy in CS.
In mechanical engineering I can design things that will be physically created, think of the possibilities, I find that WAYY cooler. But I’m sure plenty CS folk feel the same way about CS.
@@McFlashh hard to think how our current infrastructure could operate without either. Engineering definitely Cs’s daddy thoe.
@@madlad1. I mean fair point, idk. I'm studying EE and shooting for RF engineering, not that I care for it but more for the money. I mainly said that earlier though to explain why not as many people go into ME, which itself is super important and should be given more love IMO
Mechanical engineering is the base of all engineering tbh.
Not quite. Civil Engineering takes that title. Without civil engineering, we wouldn't have the many other forms of engineering that we have today such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Military Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automobile Engineering, etc.
@@cxarhomell5867 Civil and mechanical are similar, however mechanical is more important. Civil only deals with static structures (which don’t move), whereas mechanical deals with high static and dynamic (that do move) structures.
@@mikhaelgrigoryev5638 didn’t know that was even a profession. Shouldn’t you be called an optician?
@@McFlashhYou are argued base. Without civil engineering civilisations wouldn’t exist and we’d be still living in caves. It is both the oldest and most important. If we didn’t have houses, no one would’ve had the drive to design things that move much less discover electricity.
@@cxarhomell5867both are important
Its not the major that is outdated. Its the mentality of the crowd that shifted from Mechanical to CS coz of workforce demand. Also, there are always things to pursue in every field. (Not everything possible is discovered or invented yet)
The first step to make great decisions is to stop listening the Crowd.
Someone plz give Prize to this man.
@@kaushalsehgal2475 i thought u said pizza
The thing is M.E doesn't really have much jobs in the market when compared to C.S and on top of that there's a huge pay gap
@@adilmk128 Here is the data - around 18K ME Job Posting are posted every year in USA. And if you think you are so incompetent enough that you won't be able to land one of them then there is something wrong.
You are a single guy and can do a single job, so if you are passionate and good at it, you will definitely land it.
@@adilmk128 most of the machinery we need(Ed) is already built
Nowadays, just building the machine isn’t enough since they all each need to have their own CPU’s and softwares with Wi-Fi capabilities and their own app
Behold, the unholy love child of mechanical engineering and computer science: MECHATRONICS
Actually its more like the love child of electronics and mechanical. Mecha-nical, elec-Tronics.
@@ogun3378 Yep
@@ogun3378 you said the n word 💀
mechatronics have little to do with computers, so as ogun said
How about MECHASCIENCE
I once told someone I am studying mechanical engineering, he said "Ah working on making the world shittier" referring to old school energy consumption and shit. Best part is I did an internship in renewable energy 🤣
Lmaoooo, they don’t know what it’s all about bro.
Even ME in non renewable are trying to make their practice more efficient. driven by cost reduction but can reduce emissions.
It's sad that they dont know that ME and EE graduates can go into most engineering industries. So they can make medical devices etc. Some people are so ignorant
They don’t know shit about ME lmao.
The world shittier? Hell nah some of us want to burn this world and sold our soul to defense industry
Remember morale compass can't keep the light on 😉
My freshman year of engineering, I had an English professor tell me to my face “engineers make the world a shitter place” right after telling the class “the only thing that separates us from the monkeys is running water and electricity” I don’t know, but something tells me that those systems wouldn’t exist without engineers. Oh well, he ended up failing me just because he didn’t like me lol.
First dude prolly codes in air since according to him mechanical is outdated 💀
Yeah, not like he rides in a car or plane to college, and then uses a phone, GPS, or literally anything else designed in part by a Mechanical Engineer
Those all go to computer systems engineering now since they’re all integrated systems
Maybe he's talking about the prospects of jobs in CS which is far more promising than Mech jobs
@@duckymomo7935 huhhh? CE and ME work alongside each other in all of those.
@@duckymomo7935 eh? Mech works alongside
Never trust a DJ that can’t think of anything to say but tik tok lol
actually he is reffering to a song, not to the app itself
@@petrurk6835 that’s kinda even worse 🤣
But what he said it's true, rn TikTok runs the radio
@@yaz3858 if your a DJ or listen to a dj and they only play stuff from the radio, then hate to break it to you but that’s not a real dj lol
@@relate5903 man, interviewer asked him for a song banger and the guy responded TikTok runs the radio, you don't need to overlook it 😑😑😑
Mechanical engineering isn't even just machinery, we do so much programming and mathematical modeling
Tesla hires mechanical engineers so do every car company.
I'd say a vast majority of us don't have to code, but some of us certainly do.
Computer science has to be on every discipline now
talk to your machinist
Not to mention thermal dynamic applications like Refrigeration units, furnaces, coolers, ACs, and HVAC
Him: mechanical engineering is outdated
Mean while Manufacturing, production,design, Mechatronics,robotics industry: Are we a joke to u -_-
You are right but 70% of mechanical engineers in india are unemployed. If any of the luck when job gets with 4 years experiance only pays 25000 if any is going choose mechanical engineering you want sure that you are ultimately skilled
With love
unembloyed ROYAL mech engineer🥲
Agree, not to mention semiconductors/chips (material science), material reliability, vibration, metamaterials, or even improving existing engines before they can be entirely replaced by electronic systems in the next few centuries. This dude just doesn’t do his own research.
What is the difference between robotics and mechatronics?
@@MinhNguyen-ew9qx In a few centuries to come, the field of Mechanical Engineering will have integrated with Electronics. Electric motors for example are still a work of Mechs since it still involves physical motion even when the principles applied are originally from EE
@@eren_yeager9927 Mechatronics is already the fusion of Mechanics and Electronics. Mechanical Engineering still exists as a separate field, however.
Mechanical Engineering is not outdated, but you are now in the era that everything is automated, so basic Computer science knowledge is super important for Mechanical engineering
Right
I learned all the controls engineering I needed to know after graduation and on the job. An engineering degree is just a learner's permit. You don't learn how to build things till you're in industry.
@@Tom-tk3du maybe it depends on where you live? I mean I live in Germany, companies still need a lot of mechanical engineering graduate to work in field of semiconductor or process techniques. And those don't grow from a tree (btw I am not Mechanical engineering major, I just by accident know a lot of mechanical engineers)
@@Giang_as_artist No doubt about it, manufacturing microchips requires precision machinery and heat transfer systems. The point I’m making is that a practicing engineers education is lifelong. The academic degree is an indication of aptitude, basic analytical methods, and one’s ability to self-study. But one is not yet ready to assume engineering responsibility for manufacturing high value capital equipment without a few years experience under one’s belt.
Engineering will never be outdated. what's wrong with the engineering field is that most industries want an experienced engineer, which will backfire on the industry when every old engineer retires and only a handful can replace them because others didn't survive the initial hardship that those same companies created.
That guy clearly didn't understand mechanical engineering 😂
Mechanical engineering being outdated is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂
@@rohinimishra9437 still the field isn't outdated and it can never be
It's not outdated but it's just CS has way more jobs.
@@ripvanmarston1241 and way more applicants
Mechanical teachings and course syllabus is outdated
If we have learnt coding then it will be a good use
@@rohinimishra9437 pay gap being bigger doesn’t mean mechanical engineering will ever be a bad career choice. Not everyone wants to code all day, things will always need to be fixed and created!
Give it 10 to 15 years the entire CS department is gonna be oversaturated with candidates. Way too many newbies and not enough secure jobs
Are ya sure cuz demand juz seems to be increasing year on year here in india
I was thinking the sane. Everyone gonna join it and it never gonna be jobs in it
@@SS-eu2ef the demnad is high for now, but with AI basically replacing human requirements for basic to intermediate codes, most newbies wont have a place to start from
Naa mechanical has of a lot technical aspects. eg MATLAB, CAD and Coding. It’s very broad and can widen your opportunity.
CAD had to be invented by computer scientists lol
@@duckymomo7935 the point you making is ? 🤦🏽♂️
As a Mechanical Engineer I can confirm that Mechanical Engineering is not outdated at all lol. I have to make selections for gearboxes for many different applications. Many people don't realize this but gears and gearboxes are used everywhere!
And many people don't realize that the worm screw is actually different from the worm gear. ;)
Hey I'm a software engineer, my major was applied mathematics. If you're an aspiring mech, don't panic. It's far from outdated. I might write the code to operate the machine you designed, but I don't ( and won't ) know CAD or physical systems like you do.
In addition, a lot of people in programming these days have unrelated education. One of the most thorough and quick programmers I work with has a master's in mechanical engineering. It's never too late to be a programmer... But I'll _never_ be a mechanical engineer.
Hey, I have completed learning C language? What should I do?
@@daveins1146 hey there! It depends on your interests, but very generally, once you know a language, you can start doing projects.
C is great for hardware stuff. If you're interested, you could try out some simple stuff with an Arduino. There are lots of beginner kits out there.
But of course, C is general purpose. Like math? Try project euler. Just want to have fun? Try making a text based game!
Most of all, the important part is that you don't stop programming. Just keep looking for things you enjoy, and keep having fun. If you're having fun, you'll do great.
You are life saver!!
I took admission in mech eng. And got panic due to sayings like it is outdated or it have less opportunities.
However jobs depends on country wise😙
@@kaushalsehgal2475 I think a hugely important bit is to try and get internships as much as possible during your schooling. The experience on your resume will put you ahead when you go looking for a job, and will also make your school experience easier.
@@SamVidovich What is the scenerio of jobs and salary of mech vs CSe in usa or in your country.
So we’re not going to talk about ‘the best songs are on tiktok’ please never change your major
he said "tiktok run the radio" which is facts. you can admit it, no one will judge
"Tiktok run the radio" doesn't mean Tiktok has the best songs, he means that most songs that goes trending in Tiktok gets played in the radio
he didnt say that you put words in his mouth
@@af2954 That does not mean that it has the best songs. Most of the songs that are popularized on tiktok are bad.
@@cxarhomell5867 dude. how do you just completely miss the point of my argument? you cannot possibly deny "tiktok run the radio" when top 10 songs of all platforms including the radio are songs popularized on tiktok. reminder to not put yourself on a pedestal because you think it's very special to not enjoy tiktok songs. out of curiosity: which songs popularized on tiktok this year (2022) would you categorize as bad?
Mr. MechE, word of advice, continue doing MechE and just take on coding. You do not need to change your major. I graduated MechE, work in aerospace (propulsion systems to be exact) and yes a lot of my daily work involves code, but you get nowhere without the “real engineering” knowledge. I have an upper hand over my CS coworkers who didn’t get engineering foundation, harder for them to learn than for me to learn to code up throttle mapping in C.
Hey man, I’m a current ME student planning to work in the aerospace industry as well. Did you have to take up a bachelor’s in aerospace after your ME degree or is it not worth it?
@@jamessolacito1611 it’s not worth taking up another bachelors in aerospace. Just focus on being outstanding in classes like Heat Transfer, Thermo II, Mechanics of Materials, etc. My area of focus is propulsions. But remember MechE classes are versatile they can be applied to practically any specialty in aerospace.
@@tigerrx7 Hey man I want to work in the aerospace field particularly on rockets, propulsions. Looking forward to work with fellow aero engineers in the future!
@@tigerrx7 hello! Would you recommend post grad in aerospace after bachelors in mechanical ?
You have the advantage that you have that sweet sweet domain knowledge
imo the core engineering fields (electrical, mechanical, computer, civil, etc.) may have been around for a while but they’re timeless because technology is constantly changing and the world will always need innovators who can adapt in allowing to advance the human race
@JinxBoyyy ?? you serious? it may be a relatively new core field but it is most definitely a core field. computer engineering is a whole different beast
Aerospace is a part of mechanical engineering….
One day without mech engineers and the world would collapse
One day.... Hmmm... But today we mechanical engineers need jobs.
@@omprakashbaruah9425 He is talking about Skilled mech engineers.

@@lilwalgreenscoldandflu6968 my advice to you would be to do what you enjoy. It may sound cliche but you will perform a lot better in education and work if you enjoy it!
@@benowen7757 I think he might've meant that it is not as valued (pay)
You sure you get paid enough for what you doing rn?
Pretty much all engineering majors are very useful and at the end of the day, I do think that doing what you prefer is going to get you the furthest.
With CS, I get it's a hot major and there are many jobs, but at the same time it sounds boring as fuck to me. I did instead chose electrical engineering because it is a good blend of math, physics and programming and I am really happy to have chosen it. I speak to some CS students from time to time and even if some courses and projects seem interesting, they do miss out on too many courses I do love such as physics classes and instead have more theoretical CS courses that seem a whole lot less interesting from my point of view.
Yup, I’m a senior CS major and I basically fucking hate it at this point lmao
it's not about if the course is fun or boring, it's about the work itself being fulfilling or not
I am a web dev and I could not asked for a better career path. It is boring when you suck, but once you get good it's just soon interesting cause you can actually produce something super cool in short period of time. For example, I made a basic ASCII filter in Python in a day, I also made a chess bot using alpha beta pruning algorithm. I did some 3D web pages with physics in it. There so many cool things you can do. And there are so many interesting fields. You can be a Data analyst a web dev, a game dev, an AI engineering, you can do BI, be a cloud architect, database architect, etc. You always learn, always have projects. Bte there are a lot of physics involve in some field of CS, like game dev or simulations for example.
@@philippebaillargeon5204 yeah I have a lot of respect for anyone in game development, having to be very knowledgeable in physics and proficient in CS. Kinda really cool that so much of our progress in humanity gets put into those programs just for simple pleasure.
That being said, all of those industries sound yucky to me, glad to be an ME in the making, glad you enjoy your field 😁
Yeah when all options are logistically practical, preference is what truly matters.
ofc some very remarkable folk come out of pursuing what is extremely logistically impractical.
That first guy really sounded like an engineer even. And mechanical engineers will always be nessasary because every machine has moving parts and mechanisms.
The industry is mostly stagnant besides of very few fields like renewable and robotic. But with recent boost of military comples this is gonna change.
It’s not that MEs are outed, it’s just not clear to an undergrad student who hasn’t entered the work force how diverse the opportunities for MEs are

@@238xblaze oh i see
@@238xblazewhat's that
I love Mechanical Engineering 😁 It’s soo fun and I like building cool stuff with my hands
I'm from CS and believe me, don't choose CS. I even regret not taken any engineering major (like civil / mechanical) because it's a waste of money. If you pursue the knowledge of CS, you better learn online or go take specialized courses, the knowledge you'll learn from the major is not worth it.
I already working on IT Industry when I took my univ, and I came out without any new major knowledge.
I’m considering Mechanical Engineering because I have an interest in Renewable Energy, Power Generation and Petroleum Engineering, truly think it’s all about what you’re in it for
Actually aerospace engineering is a specialized branch of mechanical engineering
Can confirm. Everyone I worked in aerospace were just mechanical engineers.
Till today only few have understood what Engineering really is..
are you the inventor of "Engineering" or what?
@@lonasontsele8674 you need not to be an inventor of engineering to understand it, just because you understand a concept clearly doesn't mean you invented it, please understand what i am saying.
I’m a mechanical engineer doing hardware engineering for Apple 😂don’t hate, we do everything. I’m a chemist, scientist and engineer 😂😂
Lmk bro. Spill some knowledge
I do agree that mechanical engineers are the most versatile, but not many universities offer it anymore
I think the mechanical guy didn't give full picture. I think what he meant was there are more software engineer and programming related jobs than mechanical jobs. Also, the pay is generally higher for software engineer because of increasing demand. I have seen people studying mechanical then shifting to computer science or IT related job.
Mechanical just has less openings due to the nature of almost everything we need already exists and the body of knowledge in engineering is not going to increase as much of the openings available for engineering too, they demand experience already which is oof for graduates
If anything, computers alone will have to be part of every engineering curriculum because every algorithms and software was designed by computer science
@@duckymomo7935 exactly
It's like when i love traditional and digital art so much and I wanted to major in art but what's in the future for me? It is just a hobby.
well, there's plenty of jobs in art but you're probably not going to be doing the fun or meaningful parts of it.

@@kaushalsehgal2475 heat transfer and material science is a mechanical engineering subject. I guess thats why there is a lot of mechE majors in semiconductor industry
Does a graduate in material science get job in semiconductor industry ?
@@amaldiariesofficial.2082 could be possible, we have chemical engineers here as well but these jobs would probably be very limited as there’s not much demand but it’s possible!
@@kaushalsehgal2475 even though everything is electrical or computerized like he said there are still the mechanical aspects. To make the wafers require machines that move as well as testing them and these machines are VERY expensive and sensitive so mechanical engineers are always finding ways to make them more efficient, vibrate less, run faster, etc. Another way to see this is EVs! They are electrical cars but still have mechanical parts to make the car move which be the role of a mechanical engineer to get it to work.
Damn all the mech engineers really steamed about this one
I'm studying CS and Electrical Engineering, and he's just wrong to say mechanical engineering is outdated.
@@mcds6307 Is EE better than CS?
@@McFlashh EE is more interesting because I know much less about it and a lot of is very fascinating, more than I expected (especially the electronics - computer engineering parts), however ultimately I prefer CS. There's nothing like able to work remotely from anywhere in the world
@@mcds6307 I would like to work on developing graphics cards for Nvidia, would you say that requires EE, CE or CS?
@@McFlashh Depending on what part of the cards you want to work on, a different major is more fitting. If you want to design the physical circuit, EE is what you want, but CE will definitely cover that too, if you want to develop the digital logic circuits on the cards, CE is more fitting, but both EE and CS will also work. If you want to develop the embedded firmware on the cards, CE or CS is better, but EE is good too.
Overall, I'd say for that you want, it's CE > EE > CS
we can say Mechanical Engineering is the hardest or the easiest degree. Because
Mechanical engineering is a broad field of engineering, which means it depends on the direction you choose for your future career, such as aerospace, robotics, industrial, and more. What I'm trying to say is that mechanical engineering involves learning about everything, including chemical processes, electrical systems, coding, and more. However, the specific focus and specialization depend on the student's interests and career goals.

@@issaissa4974 if you want money then go study business mate
Am happy that the first guy didn't take aerospace.
I think his point is that the machining at the most technical levels is now done almost exclusively with cad machines, and the design work is done with cad software, there's a lot of innovation rn in using machine learning to enhance cad software for cad machines. soo yeah, classical mechanical engineering is sort of in the process of being phased out by compsci.
I was a CS major but I switched to Mechanical Engineering and I'm telling you there's no way in hell that either will be outdated any time soon
Both fields will merge in future
I'm an Electrical Engineer major, and it does at times feel like the focus is more towards Computer Engineering majors (CE was born out of EE after all).
I mean in India people are not going say anything else but CSE
I love Mechanical engineering, it's so much fun learning about stuff which you can feel and touch, but yeah C.S pays significantly more
Mechanical and Electric engineering are the universal engineering degrees. You don’t need an Aerospace engineering degree to become an aerospace engineer, as I was able to become one as a Mech.
In reality all the other physics based engineering are just a more concentrated version of mechanical engineering. Working on planes? That’s just mechanical engineering with emphasis on high dynamic loads and fluid dynamics.
How about nuclear engineering? It just mechanical with emphasis on thermodynamics/heat-transfer and material science. This one is from my experience with the NRC.
I think mechanical and electrical engineering will go more hand in hand in future, so mechatronics
As the engineering standards are relative to one another, it can be applied, reconciled, and trial balanced. ∆ | √ | π | *****IMPORTANT******
I guess it's all about money now, most of forks are earning good as Software enginner
The guy who was a mechanical engineer I feel like he meant to say an engineering degree isn't as valuable as it used to be opposed to outdated. I switched out MECE for Supply Chain Management and it was the best decision ever as I hate engineering and my passion always lied within business but coming from a brown household your always encouraged to be an engineer, doctor or lawyer but I am certain that I will make more than each and every one of those career paths.
Buddy, Mechanical Engineering is probably going to last the longest, if not, at least one of the longest-lasting careers humanity will be needing and using. Good luck trying to magically create something out of thin air online without physical sources/machines to make it possible lmao. We'll always need machines as we advance.
He's not talking about mechanical in general.
He is talking about his future in mechanical is out dated.
Like from job opportunities to pay.
Mechanical will always be relevant, and needed. In fact, I'm a former CS major (from years ago; I haven't kept myself current because I've been working in the environmental sector for decades now) who is now studying mechanical because knowing how to build things that won't fall down is pretty critical. BTW I also love music (I play keyboards and have a sideline as music director at a church) but that's not a degree that puts food on the table unless you have the right promoters backing you and you become a star.
Any kind of engineering will always be needed, but the ones I expect with the most **growth** has to be software, aerospace, and maybe materials
Mechanical engineering is not outdated. The reason is people are running behind the scope not behind the passion.
First guy should be playing Forza Horizon to get home 😂 That dude fogot about cars 😅
Just one papers in back pocket and sometimes i used to carry pen.
No mechanical engineer, no rockets, no oxygen cylinders, no bridges, no fan, no AC, no car, almost no nothing of 80% of the world we know today. No cs engineers, no probs learn something else
I love this, but mechanical engineering can be done by people who didn't go to school
@@bluice2776 lol I can say for a fact u don't know anything about mechanical engineering, specially engineering not what Indian colleges teaches. For subjects like heat transfer everyone can understand conduction, but calculating conduction based material properties and time varying condition needs a PhD for all cases, similarly flow dynamics a small mistake people die, now thermal power plant without thermodynamics it's nothing, and it's not just basic 2nd law application in depth is next level. I'm not saying this because of ur opinion on ME but I honestly feel u don't need schooling for cs engineering , basic maths with 6 months course we can pretty much get any job, with some experience anything can be done right
The mariner space shuttle failed at launch because of a spacecraft because of an oversight in the computer systems’ code. Nobody was hurt but millions of dollars were lost. The challenger disaster of 1986 occurred due to catastrophic mechanical failure of the shuttle after takeoff. The entire crew perished costing several lives and even more money was lost in addition. And this happened two decades after the anticipated unmanned mission. There is absolutely nothing irrelevant, obsolete or outdated about mechanical engineering.
“What’s the best song bangers going on right now”
I feel your pain being a mech grad. I took a lot of electrical controls courses rather than just mech courses and that actually helped me.
Mechanical engineering is far from being obsolete
Whose gonna build the hardware
Electrical engineers?
I mean it is true that most mechanical things have a computer aspect nowadays. However they are not replacements of eachother. You need mechanical engineers and computer scientists together in order to achieve anything
Mechanical engineer here …its not outdated…its commoditized. Dont fucking do it unless your gifted to be the best.
Saying ME is outdated is like saying Civil Engineering is outdated.
As a Professional Mechanical Engineer myself that first student is an idiot. Please change majors out of Mechanical Engineering for us all.
Some would argue ME is becoming slightly outdated because a lot of things are becoming automated by a computer.
CS graduate and currently in the field, and in all seriousness my work and code would be useless without the physical aspect done efficiently.
Bro has to compile a space shuttle.
"slightly outdated"
I can't wait to use my online car to get to the beach...
I'm an EE student and I will definitley say that MechEng is the most fundamental, because it deals in physical reality.
Welcome to the metaverse kid.
I changed from mechanical to CS and it feels like it has been the best decision i have made for my future career and opportunities. I feel like when i graduate i will be in a far more secure position to get a job. Everyone is different though, i like the thought of working from my laptop from anywhere.
Mechanics will never go away! Mechanics is one of the main elements of life. Leverage helps us lift things! We have buildings to build and demolish and that requires equipment and tools and a code and a OS system alone cannot do that you need gears electricity and a moving part.
We could live without computers but couldn't make it without mechanical engineers. That's it.
Just saying that your car has software which was created by a software engineer.
@@McFlashhwe dont need that at all
@@_el_luis Then the car wouldn’t have features like GPS…
@@McFlashh Old cars didn't equip with GPS...everything started with the mechanical engineer.
@@_el_luis In today’s day and age software is used everywhere, it’s in extreme demand too and that’s why software engineers get paid the most out of all engineering disciplines.
2nd guy is literally my future self 😢
Mechanical grad here and the worst part about picking this major is people are rarely ready to provide guidance and mentoring to new grads, so growth is extremely slow.
the first dude is kinda right. in my college the number of students pursuing bachelors in computer sciences and IT is close to 500 while only 40 students. this is a big reason why I chose to pursue the most useful engineering:-electrical. the oversaturation of computer market and companies wanting the best skillset is the reason that comp is gonig to have a decline in coming years as seen with civil.
I'm studying computer engineering. I hated every single coding course I had to take, and JHC Imma do everything I can to master in electrical engineering.
I really think CS and CE suck, coding in universities suck, and I won't allow my self to become a programmer!
I love programing lol 😂
@@ayasguitar8718 glad you like what you do, I really wished I could enjoy CE, but sadly I really can't appreciate programming and so on, it bores me to death and makes me angry
@@Ganjalf_the_Green it's okay everybody's different you should do something you love because it's very hard to succeed in something you hate. I am studying engineering actually but i am thinking of switching to c.s since in my country there isn't many engineering jobs
Mechanical engineering has been evolving with tech. Most ME grads from a good school can at least read code now.
But yes, CS and IT are the primo degrees rn.
I did chemical engineering, and while there will continue to be a need for traditional engineering fields, you don’t have necessarily have the geographic flexibility of CS majors. Depending on your background, there may only be so many refineries or manufacturing plants in your city. So many of my classmates have transitioned to SWE/Data Science. I think AI is only going to replace lower-level programming jobs like web dev.
As mechanical graduate i think his statement is not entirely wrong, Mechanical stream has been branched out to many other streams also the market is changing as involvement of software and designing are coming in so it's not just limited to hardware machines anymore
Chemical Engineer up here... 😊
the way the first guy said mechanical engineering sounds like he had it rough
Finishing my chemistry degree in spring then entering into grad school for chemical engineering
CS Pays but if i could go back and pick something else it would probably be mechanical or aerospace or automotive just feels like it would have been a blast to learn those than sitting in front of a screen
Young man, if you’re reading these comments - for the love of all things good - don’t drop your mech degree for computer science.
Engineers are patently useful, coders are not.
How coders are not? You know that we make engineer and medicine more easier right? And mechines too
@@clomixgaming8748 Yeah but you get treated like sh*t in any IT job.
@@clomixgaming8748 what in the mcdonalds are u talking about? Without mechanical engg u coders will not exist
@@clomixgaming8748 every kid knows how to code nowadays
@@clomixgaming8748 and you don't have the balls to stand for yourself and be treated like human at your own workplace
Looks like UCF campus. My alumni
Thought the same thing
it is UCF lol
Mechanical engineering goes hand in hand with CS. Both won’t die but I guarantee you. CS will die before Mechanical. Plus, Mechanical uses script and code often and requires some fluency in math based languages.
im basicall ETE/ electric enggineering...and i think i want to be welding technology because its pays well if i do some off-shore jobs
Dudes are pissed because a random guy said mechanical engineering is old. y’all can’t take criticism 😭😭😂😂
Little bro is laughing crying face emoji over that one
Physics is outdated. You can program gravity on a computer
Mechanical Engineering is not outdated.. it may seem that way while In college.. but it’s easily the most necessary engineering field..
I'm doing mathematics and physics in university, but if I had to do a different subject I'd do linguistics
Is that at UCF? I study Aerospace Engineering there.
Ayyyy how's aero? I want to know since I am debating between the 3 majors the first guy mentioned
Looks like it
@@taylorrowe2002 how about job prospects, especially when you study outside of your home country? Would I face competition for airlines etc.?
