Engineering is arguably the most challenging field you can study. The reason is because you have a mixture of courses with quantitative and qualitative content. So for scoring good in your engineering exams, you need to follow clever tips just like highlighted by Tamer in this video. I’m planning to share my own set of tips for Engineering in my channel soon. Thanks for the tips and inspiration Tamer :) Superb video as always!
try to major in chemistry then come tell me
well said
Law:
Am I a joke?
@@nasseryousif1222 that's literally more memorization than anything else, law definitely can't compete with majoring in physics, chemistry or engineering
@@jeddaaah try to major in physics then come talk to me
i'm currently a freshman in civil engineering and i just found your channel. you gave me motivation and your tips really helped me. i'm subscribing!
Thanks for the tips Tamer. I really needed them 🙏🏾
Thank you for the consistent uploads they’re all so helpful! 🙏🏼
😊😊
Love your videos man! Currently my biggest motivation for sure. PLEASE UPLOAD REGULARLY!
For sure, that’s what I’m working on! Currently uploading once a week.
The tip on not focusing on something for too long I think it what cost me some grades last semester. I could easily lose 2-3 hrs sometimes, I'll definitely give this a try next sem! thank you!
Happy to hear ur gonna try it, good luck and lmk how it goes
عظمة يا صديقي you are on fire🔥🔥 keep going on
Man your tips are life changing. I wish I got to know about these tips 3 years back then I could have done much better in my previous courses.😔
I’m glad u like it and it’s ok...it’s never too late to change :)
My guy with another banger 💯
Starting my undergrad classes in January 2022 and I’m so excited and nervous to start. I’ve been binge watching most of your videos and they’ve been helping me tremendously. I really appreciate you constantly uploading! 😁
Happy you like the videos :)
It's difficult but you have to persevere
How did your first semester go?
@@darkrealms9838 It went really well I learned so much and It was difficult for me personally but I think because I have lingering debt that caused me to work more instead of studying more. So my plan this year is to pay off that lingering debt before I go back to school so I can focus more on my studies and not having to worry about working while studying.
How's it going brother?
Bro, thank´s a lot!
جزاك الله عنا خير الجزاء
Really helpful!!
Grest video, In my case i usually get stucked in a particular theme, so i'll take your advice
Yay new upload!
🤍🤍
Thank you for this. I have this annoying habit of sitting with one difficult problem for a very long time instead of moving forward and solving the rest of the problems. The more time I sit in front of the problem, I'm making little to no progress and then eventually I lose interest in studying and then procrastination ensues.
Happens to me too
These tips are literally gold! I have really weak points like spending too much time on what I don't understand/spending time on what I understand, not doing enough practice problems, wasting my time on useless lectures, and torture myself not to sleep thinking I am being hard-working which actually shows how poor my time-management is. I pinpointed my weaknesses now I need to work on them. One crucial question for you: how can I read texts with 100 pages for one week? I stay behind because my pace isn't proper. This is my BIGGEST problem. Any advice??
100/7=14
14 pages a day
7 in the morning
7 during the evening
Or however timing you prefer
@@Someone-vr7me That's actually good. Studying with little chunks. Never considered it. Thanks for the advice!
I am subscribing to this channel this advice is really realistic....
Thanks man
Very good video.
Damn, thanks for this video. Going into uni for the first time at 25 and I'm doing engineering! Honestly your tips will seriously change the game for me so I am very grateful for this. Subbed.
Same at 20, Good luck to you brother!
the "habibi" on ytour shirt :p
Where I study it’s normal to spend from 1 hour to a few days on a single problem. Our professor that if you have no ideas for three hours straight, think about it the next day. If you don’t have any ideas in three days, ask a friend or look it up.
Hey, your videos are extremely helpful. I am 21 and I just started my Undergrad in Engineering. I always feel like i am too old to do this, so any tips on how to overcome this?
You are not too old at all. I had a classmate that started studying engineering when he was 27. So, ur not too old and 21 is pretty young cuz ur only a few years older than ur peers. Just realize it’s all in ur head and no one is actually judging u for being 21 cuz they’re all worried about themselves. Just study hard, make some friends and enjoy ur time :)
@@TamerShaheen Thanks ! Good luck on your Engineering journey as well brother.
This was helpful even though I'm in my fourth year
Bro please make a video about engineering math.And how to become a good problem solver too.
Math is all about learning the fundamentals well and practicing by doing different types of problems, which will ultimately develop your problem solving ability.
Sure I can make a video about it. It really all comes down to practice tho. The more practice u do, the better u will become
I am a student and suck at math but I still want to be a engineer and I'll work hard for it I 'll not give up .
That’s good, keep that mentality!
Need a video on Sub Fields of macanical engineering and with salary. 🥺
I’ll make a salary video soon
Plz make it Canada base🙏
Where did you get your Hp monitor from?
Hello. Since university is expensive can you make a video about how to manage financial stuff?
Sure, do u have any specific questions or concerns u want me to address?
@@TamerShaheen Something like best way to earn money as undergraduate, Getting scholarships, ... etc.
I’m in my last year for ME and I have still yet to figure out how to study. I just can’t figure it out.
Do you have experienced people with learning disabilities? Should I go back to school as an adult if I suspect I have learning disabilities?
Starting is okay, i just give up too fast :)
What engeenering are you studying??
1. Load up on the energy drink of your choice.
2. Disregard all pleasures to life.
3. Only sleep when you pass out.
4. Cry when you wake up.
5. Rinse and repeat.
Notification gang

How much does gpa matter when applying for jobs, do they not care or weigh it more than experience
They don’t care much tbh. What matters more is ur past experience and ur personal projects
@@TamerShaheen so should I try to get a good gpa or just try to pass
Do you think the M1 Macbook pro is a great choice for an electrical engineering student?
Yea I think mac is a solid choice...I’ve used Mac through out uni and it was great
@@TamerShaheen oh great! But, i have read that Solidwork doesn't work in Macbook. So, is there any alternative method to use it in a macbook?
Man us engineers really all think the same abt this stuff don’t we… I clicked this vid for some advice but I’ve already independently figured out that all that stuff has value 😂😂 esp the skipping class one
Do u think 2015 macbook pro is a good choice for Electrical Engineering in canada?
Yea I think so
@@TamerShaheen Also, if you can, please do a review of your laptop that you used during ur engineering studies? It would be greatly appreciated, and would be an awesome content for you too. 🙏❤️
Asus vivo book
Which macbook are you using?
2015 MacBook Pro 15”
@@TamerShaheen Oh great! i was looking to buy one of them. So don't it get laggy when running many softwares? The reason is becoz, i want to use to for light video editing as well. Also to do all works done by engineering students. It would be great if u can explain it more clearly. 😊
Lol asking for help from a professor is like digging up concrete with a plastic fork

Hey tamer!!! Did u take the UCEP program during grade 12 in high school? and should I take it to get a higher chance to get to Waterloo university or it doesn't matter?
I’m not sure what the UCEP program is?
This program provides students who have achieved high academic success to experience university life before leaving secondary school. In this program, students can earn a university credit, one or two Grade 12 secondary school credits (taught by secondary school teachers at the university), and two Co-op credits. I think it's a new thing added in high schools
And you have to pay 1000$
HABIBIIII
If you’re studying more than 8 hours, then you got no business telling people how to manage your time. you can do effective studying at the 2-4 hour mark you just gotta be focused. I don’t know how I ended up on this video but for context I have a Masters in Electrical engineeeing and bachelors is CS and only studied 3 hours a day, played sports, worked full time as a paramedic, served in the national guard as a combat medic, built my amazon fba on the side, and raised my son. I did 3 hours of efficient studying then used recall throughout the day to solidify the info. Studying 8 hours a day shows me you’re not that efficient I’m sorry, there are better ways to go about studying.
I thought I was watching at 2x speed
I’m in my Second Week of Mechanical Engineering, I don’t sleep anymore 🥲. Thank you for this video Tamer! 🙏
You should try managing your time a little better but dont worry it gets easier when u start getting used to it. It might just be overwhelming for you now but its known that first year is the hardest so stick with it, it gets easier when you learn to manage your time
Aren’t u online tho it’s not even that bad.
@@muhammadissop7230 some courses I have to go to on-campus and some it’s online. I’m trying hard to focus on some of those 3-hour classes online but it's hard!
@@nooblyzabre6543 Thank you so much, I'm trying to work on that 🙏
I was in the same boat as you and thought I was going to fail every course after the exams but ended up doing fine. It will be challenging at first and you might develop some imposter syndrome along the way but things will get better day by day and you'll be surprised at how fast you adapt. Depending on where you are going to school, the professors at my school curved the grades pretty damn hard. That's not an excuse to not study tho.
Should I not do engineering because I can't do mathhh
Well no...if u like engineering, then u should still stick with it. It will just take u longer to understand certain math concepts, but that’s fine since after graduation, u don’t use math at all
It's so sad how university mostly require us to use our memory then logical thinking.
Maybe that's why there founders of mathematical laws are extinct
Repetition and problems
Resign yourself to 80+hrs per week
Studying is for dorks!
Huh… lol
Are you an Engineer now?
Yea
