😭No not the end! As a retired engineer, I am jealous of the future young engineers will get to develop. Good luck to all. I was inspired by watching the Apollo rockets to the moon from my doorstep. I was a thermal/fluid engineer in a lot of different fields. I hope that your generation will go on to inspire others!
I'm so jealous of what you've been able to witness. I'm glad to see SpaceX getting us up to speed again and I look forward to seeing how that goes. Enjoy your retirement, sounds like you've earned it.
is being an engineer tedious? i'm currently studying physics at my university, but i never feel like my studies are enough. is it smarter to go to grad school, or go straight into the career to have hands on experience?
Yup I'm super jealous!!! All that student debt, poor employment, and stunted wages. Crippling Overpopulation, Crumbling Environment, Weak US economy stunting new development HoHoHo!!! Wheeeeew! You've kids have got it good!
Ok boomer
How to become an engineer: study. A lot. Like really.

i'm currently studying physics at my university, but plan on becoming an engineer for my career. i keep seeing that you have to really study hard to be an engineer, and i always feel like my studies just aren't enough T__T debating whether or not grad school would be better than going directly into the career.
If you are generally more interested in doing research, or assisting research, then definitely consider grad school. If you would rather get out there and build stuff, then grad school probably isn't necessary. This is a continuum of course, and there's room between the extremes.
@@Sgt-Gravy thanks for your help in this
@@Sgt-Gravy i just youtube search that. Its on youtube, I was hoping it was something else
how to become an engineer in 3 steps:
1) study maths
2) study maths
3) study maths
be able to put concepts together should be 4!
Chewing Spring I’m pretty sure I’m good. I’m finishing Junior year with AP chem and pre-calc. Any advice for after high school
When I was in middle school I wanted to be an industrial engineer, things changed and even with my high grades I decided to be a translator.. I love science and literature and languages and philosophy so I chose translation to learn lots of things and educate myself first and my people.. I hope I’ll do amazing job and being grateful for this decision.
As a structural engineer I keep telling my kids not to study engineering because of all the hard work and little pay/respect.....that said, they both are ignoring me. I can't be more proud.
We need more engineers in the world.
I'm a soon to be civil engineer too. I can agree with the pay, but we have lots of respect.
@@alexkid1 In some cases, Civil Engineers take a backseat to politicians and all the hard work will not be taken to heart. To see our infrastructure crumble and hear our politicians promise to fix it...only to have us work on a fix only to find out there is no funding.....that's the respect I'm talking about. The an act of giving particular attention....
@@TheKukulkan are there civil engineers in he private sector
Yes, of course! That's where I started. I traveled a lot and got paid a good amount. However, my desire to marry my college sweetheart and my desire to have kids made me settle down and join the public sector. As long as we have a civilization, we will require civil engineers.
Before changing the world, I need to change myself.
I am a production engineer in a factory that manufactures unique pieces for big machines and I can safely say no day is the same. Also, half of my problems are solved by basic trigonometry and geometry, learn them..it really helps in engineering.
manufacturing engineer here. same here.
Do you make good money?
9 minute video "How to Become an Engineer"
First 7:30 minutes: "here's some engineering jobs"
Last 1:30 minutes: "study math and computer programming, good luck"
Very good analytical breakdown, fellow engineer.
To become an engineer, know your math and science , you can choose a theoretical approach to engineering or take a more hands on approach. Process of any engineering discipline is research (find new ways to improve and solve problems), design (focus on the core idea and details of product), analytical (analyze the design and use math to build model), experimental (develop prototypes to test in environment), testing (checks the final product) and manufacturing (uses techniques to develop an efficient product). Good stuff!
extra tip: remember to shower
Please for the love of god.
This is really cool, I really want to be a chemical engineer. Engineers are the ones who push us towards the future!
I want to become an engineer!

Me to
Zachary I whant to be a civil engineer
What about you?
@@manalkawas161 I will be first astronaut on mars.
At my University there are hundreds of freshman engineering majors, but only a few dozen seniors LOL. Same with computer science. So if you're a freshman engineering major and aren't willing to sacrifice sleep and social life, then go ahead and change your major now.
If you ask for help and learn collaboratively, develop relationships with your professors, and accept done as better than perfect, it can minimize the sleep deprivation. Also your school should probably be working on improving their pedagogy if retention is that low. And giving yourself scheduled social time alleviates stress and let's you work harder. School is a priority, but life is the goal. My favorite engineering professor says "what we do in the engineering classrooms is training, what you do in your elective classes and extra curricular, that's education". She also said "engineering is like an onion. The more you peel back the layers, the more you cry." That was during the compressible flow segment. I did in fact, cry. But then I realized, of course it's hard, its rocket science!
@@joellea-b.5519 That was an awesome response! Hahaha
Can you tell me whats hard about civil engineering and how things work after schhool
the weed-out process is crazy! But it's good. Not everyone SHOULD make it. Some people are just not competent enough and they would just go out there and cause trouble. For example, I would have caused trouble as a Computer Scientist, but I'm glad I changed to Mech Engineering, which suits me better
Alex Isidro its all about effort
Recommendations for become a engineer from a chemical engineer at a fortune 500 company:
Get internships EVERY summer! Don't be afraid of co-ops, the experience you get is worth delaying graduation!
Learn to code in an engineering language and VBA for excel macros.
Learn how to work with diverse groups of people. This is most important for career advancement.
Study, practice, and teach others to cement understanding.
First learn math, physics, chemistry, and biology. Then study engineering.
It depends on what engineering you're applying. Maybe Biomedical Engineering will require Physiology and Neuroscience courses
Ah lovely to see you talking about CFD and FEA in such a jovial way, as if it's not a tedious nightmare which is the bane of my life.
Take calculus, physics, computers and chemistry.
If you are a fan of rinsing and repeating a few more times, then you can probably become an engineer.
I really appreciate this series and the care you take in presenting complicated subjects in a way that is understandable! As far as this video is concerned, there are two more engineering jobs I would mention pertaining to your aerospace example, control engineers designing and calibrating the control structures and algorithms, and the software engineers that turn all of the design into the software that accomplishes the control tasks.
Very well developed, and explained video! The best advice IMO is to study a lot, get through those classes, capture the big concepts, and be able to analyze systems and put concepts together. In my experience, school is the toughest part. After that, if you kill it in school, your work will not be as difficult (technically). There will be much more stress, however, to meet deadlines and keep projects under budget :D But it's fun!
I am in Junior Highschool and i want to be an engineer someday but the problem is i am not good at math that much but i keep studying it for a successful future. Wish me luck haha
My personal method:
1. sleep
2. study
3.take exams
4.cry
5. eat my feelings
6. repeat
Works every time 👍
why is it so touching??
o....... |
o....... |
LOL...never fails!!! good luck, and keep crushing it
All that hard work will be paid off soon
Haha
Question is: Am I able to start later in life to become an engineer?
Biomedical Engineering here 🙌🏼
Congrats!!!!
My plan is to take Mechatronics Engineer, but when I went to an event with Women in the Engineering field, someone from that university was doing her doctorate as a Biomedical Engineer.. their project is called MARS imaging. Me and my friends were so amazed by it. Me and my friend were kinda skeptical now if we’re still going to do our “at the moment planned courses”😂
btw im sharing this because i still cant get over with what Biomedical Engineers get to do in their jobs🙌🏽
I'm considering this but I have really bad basics physics and IT and I'm not sure I can stand the massive workload
Engineering is cool and all, but I like to get up close and very personal with the engineering I work on. That's why I'm a technician. I am the brawn to the engineers' brains. Not as well educated on paper, but nearly just as knowledgeable in a practical sense.
To all of the future engineers: Learn CAD. It will take you far in almost every field.
Kyle Ward What is CAD😐?
@@QPrince2024
😐
I started learning CAD last year I am a sophomore in highschool so Im one step ahead
K Ward I’m taking that next year (my senior year in high school) any advice?
Design Engineer here. Fresh out of college actually, and realizing that I don't think I want to be a design engineer, but I wasn't sure where else in the design process I could go.
I just want to say, thanks for the ideas of career paths and the interesting series!
The fundamental theorems of engineering: e=pi=3 and e^pi=g
Two weeks away from graduating with a civil engineering bachelor degree.
Chemical Engineering Undergraduate here.
The host talks abt simulation in a very friendly tone. For me personally, simulations (chemical plant design parameters, aerodynamics, heat transfer) are nightmares. So many parameters, so many things that could go wrong.
I'm trying to write a Thesis on Simulation of Fluid Mechanics with Heat Exchange. I have a bachelor's Degree, I thought it was hard, now I know why, its PHD level FML.
❤ wonderful ❤
Very inspiring 😍
Also, I'm fascinated with your doctorate study. 😊👏👌
oh how i regret getting a pharmacy degree just to make my parents happy....
¡Excelente video! Gracias :D
You forgot operation engineers that work mostly at facilities like power plants, water treatment plants and so forth, maintenance engineers, sales engineer and many other jobs.
If you want to make a positive future for all then you should be an engineer. Remember it's just imagination & passion everything else falls into place! 🤓
Great video. I am working towards Chemical engineering and Aerospace Engineering degrees now. Although, I am just now finishing my first semester.
Thank you! 🙏
I wish this had more than "get good grades, get a high school internship, get an engineering degree or 3" because I think there was a lot I didn't know or wasn't sure of going into my engineering program at college. I didn't know that applying as an undecided engineer lowered my chances of being accepted (rather than going in what I thought I wanted to be and ended up being). I wasn't sure what I was looking for from the engineering schools, from offerings to student support. In high school I wasn't considering engineering until I realized I could get paid for what I did with my FIRST Tech Challenge team, and I was lucky that was offered as I'm from a low-income area without good college prep and without access to research or internships at all much less in high school.
I am now at Bucknell, 3 years into a dual-degree program in mechanical engineering and comparative humanities, and the best part of my college life is the Engineering Success Alliance, a support program that has helped me with math skills, the basic engineering courses, resume review, and seeing upperclassmen go different ways with their degrees.
How to become an engineer: a mandatory video for those already in college trying to attain said degree.
LOL...or those who already graduated
Im still a sophomore in high school but im taking college level engineering course to prepare myself
*So, to become an engineer, first you need to get a job in the oil fields of Alaska, putting pipelines together in the freezing cold with your bare hands while building robot mechs in your spare time. Then, you need to get into university using the prize money you won off your co-workers fighting in the robot mechs. After you get your degree, you must offer an antique slide rule as a burnt offering on your own handmade wooden altar atop the tallest building on the university's campus. Then, you need to build and program a robotic replica of yourself to take your place in society for a few years as you make a pilgrimage on foot to the birthplace of Archimedes.*
*Then you need to get some documented experience and pass some tests and fill out some forms and you're done!*
Step 1: Do well in school.
Step 2: Enter university.
Step 3: Graduate in your prefered engineeri
After school, Project H north Carolina- 'If you build it' on Netflix they've got a good thing going, helping young people learn useful skills. They build a farmer's market.
@@Sgt-Gravy i cant seem to find "if you build it " on Netflix
Shini, you are simply amazing! Beautiful, smart and charismatic. Thank you for hosting this series and I hope there's many more to follow with you.
she is the best
Watching how to become an engineer despite being a qualified & practicing survey engineer with also aeronautical/aerospace engineering qualifications.
7:20 on how to become an engineer but the rest are what types of engineers and how they are all related :)
Très bien
I zoned out for a moment and heard "innovative new metal alloy" as "Innovative nu metal album"
Nice cameo, Dr Landherr.
Watching this at my engineering school.
i'm a university student and at my 6th semester in informatics engineering. the line "it's important to do well in school " kinda hurt me a little bit. you see, i didn't pay attention to my math, physics, and science teacher. long story short, i struggled in my studies especially math related ones. can anyone point me to a course or a book that can help me understand the 9 years of math subjects that i missed. i feel like a junior high student in university and it's a serious problem.
here's a list of what i know in math : basic algebra,graphing on a coordinate plane , arithmetic, arrays, martrices, a bit of set theory, minimum understanding of probability, logic gates;
here are some stuff i kinda know but have to look up again over and over since i kept forgetting how to do them : fractions, and some math symbols that i already learnt and kept forgetting;
here are things i don't know in math : calculus, integrals, differentials, factorial, complicated algebra, vectors, a bunch of basic mathematics rules, and many more;
TLDR : i need you to help me get a good way of catching up with 9 year of math subjects so i can fulfill my dream of becoming a computer scientist and math teacher. i know it's a bit late for me but i really want to try my best at beating this problem.
Ps. sorry to bother
I wish you included computer engineering too. Please do that if you can
i'd really like to see math and music theory crash courses
Studying Mechanical Engineering at NIU and estimation graduation is 2021. School is not easy at all but keep your head up.
May god bless crash course team

Love from Saudi Arabia. A few people watch this kind of video totally out of curiosity then discover that what just happened will change their plans forever , I couldn't pass without thanking you. I would love to see more women change the world
.🇸🇦💚
i’m heading into grade 11 , and we’re picking our courses for next year and i’m wondering. should i take computer engineering or computer science ? (i’m taking physics too)
I really hope geoengineering is in the next epiaode
Good
If you are a civil engineer designing a bridge or any other structure...you cover all these roles :)
final countdown episode.... will you do that video in europe? :-)
after the final episode what is your plans ? New series ?
Cried a lot and going to graduate in two weeks lol worth it though!
Gijay Sorez congrats!
You do not need to excel in either math or science to be a good engineer. Clear communication and team management are very important in many engineering fields. Don't rule out engineering as a career path because your abilities lean towards the humanities. Always work to improve what you are weak at but make use of other's expertise in the field. I'm a Mechanical Engineer with 5+ years experience with projects in manufacturing, mining, oil & gas & civil works. In high school I failed chemistry. Do your best and keep your options open.
Engineering technology plz!!
Agricultural and biological engineer here!!!! There are tons of different fields of engineering out there, find one that suits you!!!
I switched careers from the medical field to civil engineering years ago. Good decision so far.
She didn't talk about civil at all but at least it was first to show up in the list of the big four.
unknownpawner1994 wow, those are my two career pathways. Any advice? (I’m currently finishing my Junior year in high school). I’m thinking of leaning towards engineering but I’m not definite on a specific type of engineering yet
How was it going?
WHAT? what about mining engineering? Any reference during all the curse
Crash Course Math (at least up to calculus) please! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Currently 2nd year engineering student working my to PhD
links for online courses in manufacturing engineering please
I have to wonder why would people dislike these videos tbh.
6:25 Is that Lucas Landherr?
Please make a video on how to become doctors
Cool cool, but what if I want to do all of it and don’t want to specialize? There are just too many good choices for specialization I feel I would be missing out if I chose just one.
Find a university with a General Engineering program. No need to specialize immediately that way. Also, do internships at various places so you can find out what parts of the design process you like best. You can also work in consulting, which let's you work on projects fairly short term and change what you're working on frequently to keep up variety.
Joelle A-B. Thanks for the advice my guy
🔨 nice
Find myself daydreaming not listening to a word she said
Though I was the only one
Same
What about Mechatronics engineering?
Please Crash Course Archeology and Crash Course Theology
what about archeology?
Why did they only cover avionics?
Can i know about agriculture engineering
I wish i become civil engineer this is my course
a software engineering dropout here, why am i watching this when i love culinary school
Congrats on making a switch many people are too scared to make!
ok but I just found this lol guess ill have to start from episode one lol
So I'm already and adult that has a bachelors in math, and 20 years of technology support experience. How do I turn that into an engineering job? Even just architecture?
Many design/architecture schools offer MArch I, which is a master's degree in architecture obtainable by anyone with an undergraduate degree in something else. While a master's degree is not required to be a licensed architect, its the path of least resistance versus a traditional 5 year Bachelor of Architecture.
Engineering might take less, I'm not as familiar with it. I work in a school of architecture at a large university and the school of engineering is completely different from us, haha.
It depends on where you are and if you want a job where you need to be fully licensed as an engineer. If you are from outside of the U.S. ignore the following.
Assuming you live in the US, each state has their own guidelines for licensure, but generally you need a degree in engineering (BS or graduate) from a ABET (Accredited Board for Engineering and Technology) school, work experience under a licensed engineer, and to pass the Professional Engineering (PE) Exam.
You may also be required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam, which is required to to become an engineering intern or an engineer-in-training. Generally this is taken by BS students as they are about to graduate or have recently graduate. There are plenty of engineering jobs that only require an engineer intern status, so you may only need that.
If you want to look into this, I suggest looking into your state's engineering board website for engineering intern or professional engineer requirements.
I'm a junior taking physics

Do crash course maths please
@7:47
So true! I learned foundations for my problem-solving skills while studying electric engineering, switched to computer science and learned both abstract and practical stuff. As the result made my career in weather forecasting (without taking a single course in meteorology).
