OMG Your video inspired me to give Purdue a shot and I just received my acceptance letter. And all this time you are a fellow Vietnamese? This is so cool
My daughter has been accepted to fye - she is looking at multi disciplinary too - however as her parent I am concerned about how marketable that is. We are from Pittsburgh pa! We visited a couple weeks ago and really liked the campus - everyone was sooo nice! Thanks for this video!
Hi! It is totally understandable to have that concern, especially since Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) is not as mainstream as, for example, mechanical engineering. Fundamentally, MDE is the same as any any other engineering, since the core engineering classes are still the same, the difference is the flexibility to choose your electives within your concentration. As the MDE department puts it, these electives that you choose in your concentration are what set you apart from other engineers because not only do you have the engineering knowledge but also the supplementary aspects as well. For example, Visual design engineering is a popular concentration in MDE, and students in this discipline can "market" their additional skills in design, art, or CAD which can be valuable for many companies. Also, to get technical, All engineering majors in the school of Engineering at Purdue are ABET accredited. ABET accreditation is only recognized in certain engineering programs and schools, which basically says that the engineering discipline is on par with the professional engineering standard and students in these programs are qualified as engineers. I hope that helps, and congrats to your daughter!

Hi, I'm a senior from Saudi Arabia dreaming of studying abroad spesifically at Purdue. Your videos are really helpful and informative. Hopefully I'll be applying the upcoming months.
Honestly, I didn't find ENGR131 or 132 really helpful, especially when your teammates don't really contribute...but as you pass FYE, courses are making more sense and easier to learn and apply.
Hi Harry! I was accepted into Purdue for FYE and I found this video helpful in my decision so thank you! I was wondering what the work/life balance is like for you at the school? As a FYE student did you find yourself always doing academics? What’s the rigor of FYE like? And an unrelated question: the gym facilities seem great when I visited campus but are they ever available considering how many students there are?
Hi Jenna, when I was in FYE, balance was definitely not a problem if you organize your work so dont worry about it. FYE classes are for the most part introductory so you will have time to adjust. Not to say that they wont be hard but I believe you will handle them just fine :). There will be time for other activites too. As for the gym. Its usually more crowded at night and especially at the beginning of each semester but it will ease down. Sometimes it can be hard finding machines that are open but 95% of the time it wont be a problem. Good luck Ps: im still in engineering. Long story which I will explain in a future video
Hi, I know that the minimum gpa for FYE is 2.0 but if I had like a 2.5, is there a chance that I would not get into any engineering majors? First and 2nd choice
Hey friend, there are actually engineering majors with minimum 2.5 gpa. That being said, you can definitely still get into your engineering majors. The minimum is just a metric, they do holistic review of ur profile too
@@HarryHTF oh ok, as long as I get into any engineering major(prefer Aerospace or computer). I was just scared cause i will be going to Purdue this fall for FYE
Got accepted as FYE at Purdue...I am an international student and well I actually really wanted to goto purdue but I am not sure anymore because I got no scholarships and I know people say purdue's like cheap but it's hella not for my family. I am even worried about not getting my major along with taking a debt- gosh it's so confusing...I don't know about the on-campus jobs or other soruces of like funding. If any student can pitch in with any info, I'd be hella grateful! PS: Thanks for the vid, as international student, I have no guidance offline and these are all I got...
Can you comment on how much scholarship money does purdue usually give? Is this amount renewed each year? Basically want to get an idea or yearly costs with scholarships at purdue
I may be a little late but the tuition is around 10k (a year) for Indiana residents and 29k (a year) for non-residents, they give out scholarships that can usually be renewed annually and they range from $500 to full-tuition (though the lily scholarship, which is the full-tuition scholarship is EXTREMELYYYY selective and requires the applicant to be a first generation student). If you have a 4.0 and an SAT score of over 1300, it is highly likely you'll be awarded a scholarship of 5k-10k!
@@tamarahouran9152 are these scholarship not for international students or what...? My profile is pretty decent for the opportunities I come from but I got no scholarship...which is making my decision so hard... (My SAT is 1500 and am in top 10% of my class throughout high school...)
Amazing! And im not exaggerating. Purdue is the first university that has, owns and operates an on-campus airport. In other words, we’e the first university in the US that has an airport
@HarryHTF Hello from Palo Alto! My son just got accepted to engineering yesterday! He’s interested in Environmental Engineering but his acceptance letter didn’t say he was accepted to his first choice. He called the AO and seems to have interpreted their response as “applications to Engineering majors that get accepted, get into Engineering, but not a particular major. Students essentially declare their choice later and most of them get into their major, but some (about 5%) don’t. Is this correct ? My sons first choice was environmental engineering on his application. Is it going to be an issue declaring this or different major, say, Electrical or Computer engineering after FYE?
"multidisciplinary engineering" it's becuase your getting ready to say "engineering" before you have finished saying "multidisciplinary". Say it as three distinct words (start with "multi" alone), and don't be getting ready --in your mind-- to say the next word until you have finished actually saying each. there, fixed.
I’m not coming back to SF for winter break unfortunately cause Covid cases are rising in CA and my family wouldn’t let me :( It’s a real bummer man. I really want to collab with you on a video in person but seems like it has to wait. Keep grinding Souz, one day, one day that video WILL BE MADE!
Hey. Great video. I got accepted to Purdue today for my second-choice major: Aeronautical Engineering Technology. How hard would it be to switch into the engineering college at Purdue?
@homiestik Well, first and foremost should be grades, and then beyond that, extracurriculars. I also showed a lot about my interest in Engineering and aviation. I run a space-themed Instagram account and have done a lot of projects utilizing arduino microcontrollers and electronics. So, I tried to show my interest by talking a bit about my projects. Once you have your grades and standardized tests at a good spot, maintain them and try to work on what will make you unique. Hone in on your passions. Good luck! Hope it works out for you!
Glad you had a successful first semester. Keep up the vids man!!!
Thank you Nimal! Hope your semester went well too. And same to you: keep up the videos. Looking forward to the future collab!
Got accepted into Purdue and I really want to do aerospace or chemical engineering so maybe I’ll see you there
Definitely! Looking 4ward to the encounter
hey may i know ur stats, cuz im looking forward to applying to aerospace engineering
I am a Purdue FYE student and this vid basically described what FYE is perfectly
Haha i wouldn’t’ day perfect cause there’re def better resources out there but I try my best
OMG Your video inspired me to give Purdue a shot and I just received my acceptance letter. And all this time you are a fellow Vietnamese? This is so cool
Anh ngầu vãi. Em ở Phú Yên và em cũng đang finalizing về việc đi học ở Purdue kì mùa thu này á T.T
Its rather bad u graduated because itd be really cool to see u around campus, nma still great to know a Vietnamese born n raised alumni LOL
FYE was challenging but the real challenge begins when you starts your major classes. Good luck and boiler up

@@HarryHTF She likes it. It is challenging, but I think she's really enjoying it!
I'm gonna see if I can change my major from robotics engineering tech. to First year enginnering so tysm for the helpful explanation!
what were your SAT scores??? and GPA???
1430 and 4.43 weighted
How is the Aviation program?
Amazing! And im not exaggerating. Purdue is the first university that has, owns and operates an on-campus airport. In other words, we’e the first university in the US that has an airport

Does they have computer science
Yes we do have a very reputable C program
Are purdue university electrical or mechanical engginering program is good ?
Purdue engineering is top rated. I know electrical engineering and computer engineering are well known in the industry.
Don't give up :)
