This talk was given over 2 years ago, by 23 year old Ali, and I am so glad that the faculty at Xavier recorded it as I believe it's useful for you guys! Let me know which part of it you like the most :-)
Man, I wish I had actively looked for this kinda talk/video before I entered Uni or even before deciding to go for EE. I just happened to pick it and ended up not hating it lmaooo. But there are so many things that could have made my journey in EE way more efficient and better if I had proactively looked for this kinda video!!! I ve been 2 years into EE and lately thought about career plans and what I wanna do, things like that. It s better late than never. I wish I had thought thoroughly about those things like what were described in your videos. I ll be doing my final 8 months of co-op in post-silicon validation in a few weeks!! and I will definitely talk to my seniors more about their skill sets and how to improve them, and what does it take to become good at analog electronics in general!! Thanks man!!!
I'm 52yrs old and after working in electrical Assembly I chose to study electrical engineering because I'm lacking the "education" in theory my experience and work performance is good; I want to master it😁
Hi, I'm a highschool student and I really want to get into a good college in EE. And in the future I'll be working on a clean energy field to revolutionise the energy production and so on. Please make a video about how to apply to EE course like how to describe my self as an ideal student/student the college need
@@kengsurachast4697 in the US you simply neeed to have good grades especially in math and physics classes, have good extracurricular activities and college essay
@@kengsurachast4697 What if you started your own TH-cam channel about becoming an engineer in Thailand? If you do that, you could accomplish three things: 1. apply Ali's teachings and make them spread 2. help, encourage, and inspire other kids in Thailand, and 3. make the world better. ❤ Best wishes to you.
You can always get in for a less competitive major then switch because once you are in the school it will be easier to get in because you are already in. This is what I did 😂.
🔥🔥🔥 great talk Ali yesterday I had a breakdown lol "I'm not smart enough I'm not this and that" then I went back and saw some of your mindset videos and they've been a great help In terms of your talk I like the part when you said to make a plan, but, that's on a macro level which, what do you do day to day on the micro level in pursuit of your goals? ive been stuck for years now, I want to be an engineer and make cool projects and stuff but on a day to day basis, I dont know how to orient myself if that makes sense so i just default into random bits of efforts here and there, spinning my wheels. the problem is that there are infinite amount of things I could potentially do it's hard to know what to do Also how's boston lol I see you're already exploring the wilderness what happened to the spaceX internship?
Hey man thanks for the comment as always haha great to hear from you! SO happy to hear the mindset videos help when you need them. I sometimes struggle with the micro too, and the reason is always the same. High noise levels which drown out any clarity you have. Unfortunately with social media and notifications things are much harder -- but you essentially have to get good at taking first steps once you have clarity over specific actions. I want to make a video on this I just got settled in so I'll start making more videos, this is likely a common problem amongst students. I made it past through 2 rounds of remote interviews, I have the final on-site interview this Friday; I will flying to LA, let's see.
@@alithedazzling ohh hope you'll make it but wouldn't that mean you'll have to relocate and quit your MIT internship if you get accepted? also if you need a letter of recommendation hit me up im a certified youtube watcher 😎
@@blitzer658 Hahaha so this SpaceX interview is for a full-time job when I graduate -- my internship will end probably this Fall in all cases. Hey man who knows I may need that letter sometime in the future so I'll take your word on it haha
I wonder if the field of EE is also as impacted or saturated like the CS field seems to be, especially with the tech layoffs & entry level people having to compete with people with experience.
i am so obsessed with your channel and watching your videos always lift my spirit up when ever am loosing focus, i developed extreme passion for EE all because of you. but i have got a problem here, the university am to apply for doesn't have any specializations for students to choose from. i have interests in embedded systems and robotics, so is it really necessary to specialize at bachelor's degree level?
about learning sir, i feel college will not give me the chance of learning what i truly love due to assignments and all those school stuff, i don;t think i will have enough time. i need your advice sir@@alithedazzling
Im recently started in a new company as a working student. I’m currently doing like these really easy/boring task which aren’t development/research tasks. Do you have any tips to convince your boss/coworkers to get „real task“ or is it normal to get these boring tasks in the beginning?
I would say do these easier tasks very quickly and efficiently, and once you're done, as you deliver them, ask if they have something more challenging for you to work on. It is normal but don't just accept it, it's worth a shot
You may consider EE to be the best major, but people who prepare themselves to the point of being able to attain an EE degree are few and far between. It requires mastery of a lot of pretty sophisticated math, as well as an understanding that practical solutions are tradeoffs that are made with respect to desired goals and costs, not emotional desires or feelings. People like this in today's woke generation are as rare as hen's teeth.
Imagine that an alien civilization concerned with how few of their young individuals are interested in STEM hires you as a consultant to help fix the problem. My bet is that you'll come up with several potential solutions. When we take ourselves out of the problem, it's much easier to think clearly and come up with reasonable action plans. All is not lost when it comes to how poor our education system is right now. Discouraging? Yes. Hopeless? No. ❤
I was wondering if you’re Iraqi or not, but I’m mostly sure that you are depending on your last name, Al-Qaraghuli is old typically Baghdadi family, when I suppose that they’re also Turkmens,
@@alithedazzling I guess but to start a business it should be in a particular field. Do you think electrical engineering is a good field to make an invention, identify a gap in the market etc or it would be more realistic to treat it as a 9-5
this is the wrong question, same with previous one -- you will only make invention or succeed in a field you're interested in. they all make money @@gamera7206

Hey, how does one get a hold of you if I would like to have a call? I don't mind paying for your time :)
I'm an EE as well and needed some advice
@@risingtalons9490 shoot me an email with things you would like to discuss and we might be able to arrange something
@@alithedazzling will do! I messaged you on insta as well lol 😅
Where can you get your book
And how could you start your own company

Man that sounds awesome, thank you for letting me know, I know you will crush it
Just rewatch it and man I don't regret it😎🔥
Whenever that I give up studying I come here and watch this video.
Mannn... this is something else
This is immeasurably valuable, thank you so much Ali!
So glad you like it! If you have other friends studying electrical engineering please feel free to share with them :-)
NO WONDER THEY MADE YOU A PROFESSOR THAT WAS THE BEST TALK IVE HEARD IN A WHILE 👏👏👏

Thanks for this.
I wonder if the field of EE is also as impacted or saturated like the CS field seems to be, especially with the tech layoffs & entry level people having to compete with people with experience.
I like how you were talking about robots replacing us 2 years ago, and thinking about how you can counter that. Look where we are now... lol.
The best degree is computer science, just because the amount of different fields you can work in and the distinct knowledge you learn.
if you enjoy writing software yes
Nonsense.
ME is literally what you just described lmao
Thank you brother 🙏🏻

you dont have to specialize -- learn what interests you most
i love robotics, embedded systems and machine learning@@alithedazzling

Mechanical Engineer: Lol mechanical engineering more boring than electrical...........what a laugh!
no hard feelings ;p
@@alithedazzling As an aerospace engineer which is a cooler 😎 subset of mechanical engineering I took that personally 😉
There's also plenty of physics
My question is should i open my linkedin and indeed from my first year at uni?or later?
as early as possible
So be real ❤ but me and ai are kinda equals I just make sure to do a great job everyday
Where can I find your book? Is it about engineering?
Heres a link: www.amazon.com/What-Every-Electrical-Engineering-Student/dp/B08JF5FT5P
