I love this, thank you!! So helpful to have engineering specific tips lol, I've seen a lot of 'study tips' from music/liberal arts majors that are kind of a joke when applied to engineering lol
This was really helpful and relatable as I'm currently in my second week of my 2nd year. I was taking a break from my assignment to what I assume was going to be the start of my procrastination phase which in turn ended up, being my motivation to soldier on to continue my assignment. So thanks, for that : )
I would add having a capable computer is helpful for CAD and any simulation software, it can save time and more importantly stress. No one likes having a slow computer that can barely hang on, it's worth the investment
@@marlinavoker5340 Intel i5 or above (AMD equivalent), a dedicated graphics card like a 1000 series Nvidia, ram 8gb is fine but DDR4 is nice as it's fast, and if you can get SSD this will mean things open fast. Also with cad the viewing screen is important as a small laptop screen is more difficult than say a 24 inch monitor (not essential thou just nice to have).I personally saved up for a laptop over first year and got one on black Friday for about 800, which is alot but it's never been out gunned by solidworks or MATLAB and can run simulations in good time. I recently got a 24 inch monitor as I am remote atm and it's made things even better. A good way of working out what you need is looking at minimum requirements of softwares, it's all available on the internet. Don't got for something "for students" as generally they don't have the power for cad when compared to something that is more gaming orientated.
Thanks for this, I feel more prepared for my first year now. Do you think competitive sports are useful for engineers? or should I just play casually for fitness/health? i.e. intramural
I’ve heard that most first year students live in the Vale, is this a choice or do the university tend to put them there...? And do you think living in Selly oak in first year would mean you miss out? Great videos :)
The vale is really popular for first year students, from student choice though I think! I remember getting a list of the different accommodations and submitting the ones I wanted in ranked order, then you get what they put you in.. I lived out in selly oak for my first year but still had a great experience, so I don’t think living somewhere other than the vale will detract from your experience, thanks!:)
Hello, very help full tips i will be in 2nd year soon and was wondering how can I learn more advanced solidworks in uni for 2nd year is there such a society group or will joining UBR teach me . Thank you and love the content
James Goh there are lots of societies that can help you with CAD, but if you’re looking for that specifically I’d go for CADsoc, as they are great for teaching a number of different softwares!
Jeff Nathan you’d have to check the syllabus, but I think at Birmingham all engineering disciplines take the same modules in first year- don’t hold me to that though!!

I'm glad I watched this before starting this Year. It's a good thing I watched Ur video. Thank you
Starting my 2nd year of Aerospace Engineering, from which I slacked a lot during the 1st year so I really need to step up this year.
How big of a step-up from A-level study was your first year, in your opinion? I'm starting my Aero Eng degree this month and am a little worried.
So did you step up your game
@@coolmonkey619 yea better than first year but still a bit sht 😂
@@Ayot793 bit late but 1st yr is a down grade from a lvls
Wish I knew these in first year great job Liz! ( still gonna miss lectures and play chicken with the deadlines tho)
Uzair Ghaffar hahaha thank u Uzair!! Only you could do all that and still smash it😂😂
Thank you for sharing!

Which would you recommend?

Wow this video was really helpful I have no idea why this has such less views. I'm so grateful for this, thank you 😊
you're welcome!:))
Please make more videos there aren't many engineering students out there making videos I have been searching all afternoon today
@@raynabruce hopefully i can get recording soon!
@@lizmyers5013 yay ! Hope you and your family are doing well. ♥️
I just joined a formula student team! We're racing in 2022 might see you on the track!
Thanks for this, I feel more prepared for my first year now. Do you think competitive sports are useful for engineers? or should I just play casually for fitness/health? i.e. intramural
You are perfect!
I miss your videos, greetings from Mexico
Hi.where can you get practice past papers online. Which website specifically..
And I'm from south africa
Very useful info Liz :)
Kiyowo
Do u come back with videos? Pls come back
Where have you gone. More videos please
I'm a mechanical engineering undergraduate and can u do a video on what are the skills we need as a trainee pls.

What laptop would you recommend for mechanical or civil engineering?
Search for ryzen 5 laptops should be enough tho ryzen 7 would be ideal
@6:22 that's why we need neuralink Liz
Do automotive engineering and mechanical engineering have the same modules for first year?
Jeff Nathan you’d have to check the syllabus, but I think at Birmingham all engineering disciplines take the same modules in first year- don’t hold me to that though!!
@@lizmyers5013 thank u
Pls can I ask what is a lecture
I'm feeling that to learn coding is difficult thing can u give me some ideas.
Does mechanical engineer is best
Yh it is
