- This is my experience of my current job in the aerospace field. A lot of aerospace engineers are actually mechanical because the disciplines are so similar (some do get a masters in aerospace), which is why I think MecE is the best discipline because it's so diverse. It's a pretty awesome job; not every engineering job is as interesting as this one but there are jobs like this out there you just gotta search hard and get lucky.

After all those stupid vids where people eat, drink and slack off in the name of "Day in a Life....", our brother has given us a true video of what it is like to be a Mechanical Engineer. Kudos brother!! Love from an Indian Mechanical Engineer.🙌🙌🙌🙌
Lmao
Agree 👍
I agree 100%. I was tired of watching day in the life of engineers and they don't do any engineering work. ?? lmao
you stole the words right out of my mind
@@WissamSeif are you Lebanese
took thermo last semester and its SO COOL to see that the problems you're solving as an ACTUal engineer are similar to the homework problems we did!
sooo many different cycles in that damn class but im glad its actually relevant
Couldn’t have appreciated this video more man. Im a junior mechanical engineering major and just finished taking thermodynamics and fluids mechanics this semester so it was so dope to see all these concepts I’ve studied applied to real industry projets!
This just opened my eyes even more to how much I want to be an engineer in aerospace and mechanical.
I’m currently an astronautical engineering major at USC. I love your vids!
Ayyyy I’m a meche at USC!!
Hey Tyrell! I am getting my associates right now, looking at going into that same major, that’s what’s up! What has been your biggest struggle so far?
Very well explained except for one detail. Turbines never push the air, they only extract energy from the flow. In turbofans, for example, there are usually 2 or more turbines, the first stages are used to move the compressors and the last for the fan, but never to push the air, it would be a complete loss of energy. Sorry for the correction but I had to say it.
I am a retired mechanical engineer and I have done some aerospace engineering work, modifying passenger commercial aircraft to be cargo carriers. I compliment you on the quality of your videos. Your review of the Brayton cycle certainly brought back memories.
I’m currently transferring to a 4 year university to finish Mechanical Engineering, you have been a big motivation and I hope you keep posting more stuff like this to give us a better perspective of what Mechanical Engineers do!
Very well explained .. Greetings from a fellow aerospace engineer :D
I see you are a man of culture as well🔥🤟
@@robbin4380 Thank you, mate! I`m from Egypt
I’m not an aerospace engineer but I took Gas dynamics where we learned all about shock waves, rocket engines, and jet engines. Also I took intro to flight so I know the basics of how planes work and now I’m taking advanced fluid mechanics where I’m learning about propeller engines and how to reduce jet engine noise while simultaneously increasing efficiency.
Just stumbled across your channel and found this video. Coincidentally, I have a thermodynamics assignment over the holidays to analyse data from a jet engine! Thanks for the little explanation bit, I didn't expect to find help here haha
finally a day in the life video that shows actual work. Thanks for this video dude.
I LOVED THE THEORY PART, IT WAS THE BEST ONE! it´s not like other videos where it´s mostly about how they write on the ocputer n drink coffee LOL
Amazing video man!!! I am currently a freshman at Rutgers University and though I am majoring in Computer Science, I am very attracted to aerospace! Your video just boosted my interest in this field even more. I do plan on making all my projects and future goals tilted towards aerospace!
I'm currently a first-year engineering student at UBC and trying to decide between mech and chem as my specialization. This video was VERY helpful in giving me a glimpse into what a mechanical engineer might do! I really appreciate that you actually showed us some of the things that you were working on; it was great to have that additional insight. The thermodynamics bit was fun to watch too because I just took a thermodynamics course last term and it was fun to see you make actual use of things I've learned :)
This was a really great video because it's the first day in the life video in which the presenter showed some of the application of their work in detail. Awesome video, keep up the content!
Pleaaase more of the theory videos , now I know how we apply thermodynamics theories on a jet engine , and could you show us the differences in theories between aero and mechanical engineering
This is how mechanical engineering should be displayed.... Loved it.Please keep sharing and inspiring
Just started watching your channel and I love it. It’s a major booster seeing how the principals I am learning in school are applied to the job. Thank you so much for these vids dude!
I would just like to say thank you for all of your engineering content! As a second-year Aerospace Engineering student, watching your videos really helped me develop some insight into what it's really like working in the Aerospace sector. As for your next Q&A video, I wanted to ask: What are some of your thoughts/tips on landing an internship?
This was amazing I wanna be a aerospace engineer and I gotta thank you for giving me a taste of it
it's actually really fun to calculate the different pressures and temperatures.
Ah the Nozzle Equation in the thumbnail. I love aero
Actually I loved these concepts and other thermodynamics concepts while studying at college. I always had a thought to work in the same. After college I did spoke with some experienced engineers they told those concepts are no more be useful, what we studied are different and what we work in industry is different. Fortunately I saw your video now and I gained hope. Thank you so much Mr. Saif
I managed to do well in thermo however I got a choice to choose vapour power plants and brayton cycles as well as other mandatory stuff. Unfortunately, chose vapour power plant but I'll be starting my propulsion class soon so I hope to learn Brayton cycles... although I guess electricity is the bloodline of a country haha
This actually gave me the motivation to study ThermoDynamics which was always introduced to me as a theortical subject.! I am in 2nd year of Mechanical Engineering. Way to go.! Thanks a lot ! :D
Awesome video! For my Capstone my team designed a Brayton cycle for a Small Modular Reactor. My program is more power gen focused so it's awesome seeing its aero side of things. Keep up the great content :))
I am a software engineer. I have my associates in engineering technology and I’m going for my bachelor’s in software engineering.. when I went for my associates in engineering technology my concentration was in machine learning. I really enjoyed those classes. Long story short I feel like I’m a long way from home but I really enjoyed this video. I didn’t take any of the classes you’ve mentioned 😂. But watching you bridge that knowledge gap was super awesome. Also I have such an odd fascination for aerospace engineering lately.. 🤔😂
Thanks man for this cool vid, other videos just show their life outside work instead of what u showed which almost defeats the purpose of the video. Loved the explanation and breakdown. :)
I loved everything about your video, thank you!
hi , I'm a female mechanical engineer grad and we share the same name ,lol that's a first , you inspire me so much and ur videos a breath of fresh air just wanna say ur an awesome human being ❤
Great videos man, solid amount of theory. I’m starting my last semester soon before I get my BSME and this makes me want to apply to some aerospace companies!
@@WissamSeif hell yeah dude but learning all those thermofluid cycles was a fucking nightmare 😂
You can also calculate the heat released into the combustion chamber by using the eq: Q=mf*Hu*η where mf is the fuel mass flow, Hu the lower heating value of the jet fuel and η the combustion chamber's efficiency, primarily depending on its design. The ideal η=1
This was probably the best video I've found about ME. Thank you!!!
Finally I found a mentor after 25 years
Learning about shock relations right now, very helpful to see it within the bigger picture.
I gotta brush up on my knowledge. Good stuff
Youre a legend mate keep up the good work
Fast moving plane if you have shock wave before inlet. Compressible flow, thermodynamics, heat transfer, a lot going on here!
Amazing video, the jet engine stuff is not boring at all !!
You work on scramjets? Do you think you could make a video about them? From what I've heard these things can make shit go to match 12 which is pretty fucking cool
I also studying mechanical engineering... nice video , keep it up .
This is basically just high school physics in this vid
(My question about the jet engine, all the time, is that why don't the combustion give the force to reverse the gas flow to the compression chamber, I mean that combustion does not only expend the air in one direction isn't it? And if the airflow does flood back to the compression stage, the work it does that push the combustion fan blades will cancel out the work that is given by the center shaft from the turbine behind. There is absolutely no reference and information about it even I search online or on youtube!)
@@WissamSeif Well, yeah, but after some research on the way how the jet engine works, the compression chamber is power by the turbine behind the combustion chamber, and the turbine is driven by the gas production from the combustion chamber; the combustion chamber generates huge heat that expands the air inside which rush out from the downstream, so in this case, the air driven the compression chamber, therefore in an ideal situation the work air give to the turbine will equal to the work compression chamber push air.
And if the expansion is in all direction -which is true- than the force air push downstream will equal the force air push upstream; and the size of inlet doesn't matter since a smaller inlet causes higher pressure in that cross-section which will work against the air that is been compressed by the compression chamber. The work of the compression chamber is equaled to the work the air push downstream on the turbine, and that work is just a part of its total work since other energy from gas is used to push the jet forward, so the work turbine receive is only a part of the work the expended gas pushes out.
So the air from the compression chamber is pushed against the air from the combustion chamber and the work compression chamber pushes the air downstream is smaller than the work combustion chamber is push upstream. That is where I cannot understand, so although the air is encouraged downstream, what encourages the air is the compression chamber, and the only thing driving the compression chamber is the turbine which is driven by the combustion chamber, in other words, the combustion chamber is work against itself.. ?
You should some videos about thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. You're too good at explaining so an introduction to these topics would be nice man😊💯, and kinda guide us who are trying to learn it by out selves.
(Im an electronics engineering student so im definitely the imposter so to speak😂😂🙏🏾)
Man its so relatable! I mean you so broke like me XD (immediately identified the cheapest fullhd samsung monitor, having a desk so small you not even fit on it, and dont even have an actual camera 😂
Love your channel man
I just started thermo. Seeing the diagrams was great!
Day in the life of a mechanical engineer Aerospace Edition that's pretty funny because a lot of the work for the first two years are pretty much the same
Wissam, please continue what you did. I want to see how theories are applied in real life by a REAL Engineer. Thanks, mate.
Much appreciated that you share all the knowledge you know.
-Mechanical engineering student here😀
What is your opinion of using different fluids to cool down the metal. Cool efficiency is huge.
i remember to do that kind of stuff at school. It's when you do that kind of calculus that you feel engineer lel
I spent the past 6 hours studying thermo cycles and decided to take a nice TH-cam break and this was the first thumbnail I saw...
I wish TH-cam existed 20 years ago when I took Thermodynamics 2.
I like the use of theory very interesting to see
I’m obtaining my BSME and looking to go for my MSAE this fall!
how often do you find yourself actually being hands on building products or do aerospace engineers just do the maths and physics behind products ?
I loved this video!
I just graduated last may with a bachelors degree in aerospace engineering, and learned about the different propulsion types in my classes. Is your team only comprised of mechanical engineers? Why not diversify the knowledge pool if it is?
Any advice on how to break into a field like you’re in? I want to be able to use my school engineering background and do similar to what you do.
I was thinking in joining a career in mechanical engineering but one thing that is worrying me about is those equations and formulas , those are so confusing and scary.
Wilssam, I really enjoy your content. I am a 5th year ME and currently work for a very large aerospace company. I am curious to know how you are able to contribute on a team to develop new engine technology using a bachelors degree only. I know from thermo/fluids that these equations are idealizations and only offer approximations to real world design. I was under the impression that new design work would be created by people with Masters and PhD degrees (adv material science, structures, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics). I appreciate your reply, keep up the great work!
looks like you work aeronautics industry like jets/planes, if I want to work in astronautics with rockets/spacecraft do you still recommend ME over AE undergrad degree? Thank you, your videos are great
Can you do like a video on armament inventions if you can thanks stay blessed 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Would you plz answer that which specific type of engineering should I choose If I want to design an aircraft jet engine
If you are interested more in thermodynamics then you will most likely work on combustion chambers and related parts, and mechanical engineering is probably better for that. I studied aerospace engineering and we learnt about turbomachinery like compressors and turbines and some thermodynamics, and we learned a lot about boundary layers and lift generation but my understanding is mechanical engineers were more concerned with thermodynamics applications.
My god who cares what you did in your college...you are superb bro💖
Sir I'm mechanical engineering student, recently i hv been selected for " team aerodynamic"( after some exams and interviews) where they will will teach us about aerodynamic from basic and involvement in building a RC plane every year for competitions.
I have been thinking like I'm mechanical stream and it has no use in aerodynamics stuff and all.
But after watching this vedio, made me some clarity.
Can you plz tell me how much it it helpful for Mechanical engineering student by learning aerodynamic too🙄
can mechanical engineers in aerospace go to space to test out spacecraft?
Loved the theory!
rlly rlly good video
Wait aren't there any software to do such calculations?
can u share a link of the videos you watch? specifically aerospace/jet/rocket propulsion related. I want to learn from you since we're both mechanical engineers(im a fresh grad), and I REALLY REALLY WANT TO WORK IN AN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY.
So most math is done mostly using formulas through excel?
Are you able to listen to music, audio books, or other things while doing some of your work or do you need to be SUPPERRR focused
My son in UTK aerospace. Looking for an internship. Unpaid is ok. Great social skills. Matt Smith from Nashville. Bball player too.
I studied physics in undergrad but I am currently getting my A&P license. Everything you explained is exactly what's taught to mechanics for the most part. Do you think it is possible for me to get into engineering? with my credentials?
Absolutely possible! I studied Physics myself in undergrad, and am currently doing my MS in MechE. After my MS I will be applying to APEGA (I live in Alberta, Canada) to become an EIT (as I want to become a PEng in the future). They might or might not assign me a couple technical exams to write & pass (due to my non-eng undergrad) and then I'll be an EIT just like someone with an undergrad MechE degree! You and I have a few more hoops to jump through than the average bloke, but it will all be worth it! Good luck!
Thanks man 😊 🙌
Didn't know aboht the Brayton cyle but knew about shock waves? Lol I was the opposite.
QnA: Can we replace the material of turbine with composite? Is there any innovation that composite resist in high temperature?
I really found this video appreciable for me because I am going to be an mechanical engineer 😅 am under graduate 4th sem (2nd year) I would love to listen about how can I be in aerospace and what should I be knowing and all. Could you please !? That will be your great help.🤗🤗🤗🤗 Otherwise you was fantastic I really like this video. Thank you 🙂🙂
I am doing Chem and this exactly what I was doing the last sem. The problem is when learning so many cycles I started to twist between them. Am I stupid or is this just normal?
Can I be an aerospace engineer with an electrical engineering degree?
Who designed the engines for the double decker plane?
Woahh❤️
I wanna know Do you use property tables or Some tool that directly give you the values when 2 independent property are given as input ??
Oh, i see like every time, here it's assumed to be Ideal Gas
When I was watching your video I was like " hey I know those equations" pretty cool!
Q and A: Would you want to work in the US as a mechanical engineer?
How many years experience do you have? And so, could you give an indication of what you make? Just An exploratory high school student.
I'm a mechanical engineering grad and I'm confused what major should I pick. It'a either HVAC or aerospace (both designing field) please enlighten me which is better.
@@WissamSeif I'm a graduate of mechanical engineering and there are training programs in my country which I'm planning to enroll (another 2 years of schooling) to hone my skills and to focus on just 1 discipline but I have two profession that I like and really want to especialize, it's either HVAC designing or aerospace. But I don't know which is actually better since I liked both.
Sorry for my bad english
Could you give a hint at where you work? :)
He opened up the jay z video
1:09 what's the name of the background track
Which book you recommend for thermodynamic
Cool...
Sad to say but actually (almost?) every aspect lies on aerospace industry. When you achieve what can you achieve on aerospace (and rockets too) field you can build anything! CMIIW hehe
A question?
Do you come in SpaceX?
@@WissamSeif sorry
I mean
Do your work in SpaceX?
Please
Am studying Mechanical engineering
And I also love to work in an aerospace company,
Please any tips,
For me to know how I will apply
In any aerospace company,
When am done with school?
Hi, Im a student and my course is Mechanical engineering. Can I work in aerospace without taking special course?
Yea, you can
I did your job as a project in school. Cool to see that I’m not working so hard for no reason
Put on the subtitle will be awesome
