Why is Engineering so Hard? What it REALLY Takes

In this video I break down the 3 underlying reasons of why studying engineering is so hard. Many of these reasons may not cross your mind when considering if studying engineering is for you but being prepared for them will make things a lot easier for you. Enjoy :)

My 2cents, Engineering is a 5 year degree compressed into 4 in Australia. Only choose it if you naturally enjoy sitting down for long hours to work something out and make it a priority. If you can't do this... then stay away. If you don't like putting in a lot of effort to find out you got it wrong, then avoid it. The concepts are easy to understand / learn, just really hard to apply and find a solution... sometimes working through a solution can be 10 hours straight (with understanding the concept). Engineering you have many tools and it's up to you to figure out how and when or if to use them... that's why it's hard. Everyone wants to do Engineering for the "good money or good job"... do commerce or law.... way easier to achieve the same outcome. Engineering is a pursuit for excellence and mastering knowledge... not to get a good job.

Nice video man. You are doing a great job providing quality content in the field of structural engineering.

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!!

This really helpful man! I spent 2 year after high school to work blue collar cause I didn’t know what to do, but engineering is my goal now. Can’t wait to put my foot back into school after a long break😊

[@B_Shan_vlogs]

Your videos are great, they are helping me a lot...

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!

Nice video bro. currently, I'm studying MS in structural engineering in Germany. I want more structural engineers in my network.

[@tome6023]

Can’t believe how timely this video is. As a fourth year structural student at Auckland, you’re bang on. Multiple simultaneous assignments going on, just finished a quiz on last years content (more revision)… and it’s close to midnight. You get what you give…

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you and great effort with your study!

[@tome6023]

@@BEngHielscher cheers. Your videos are incredibly inspiring.

[@Mizar4]

I am not engineering but i love your content

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks!

[@naza6383]

I'm a CVE student

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!

[@aftabhusain.388]

make video about research in civil / structural engineering.

[@user-yw4jh1ns8n]

can you recommend some structural engineering books that we could read?

[@nesar_05]

If you take the word Engineering literally in our language it means don't come here 😅😅😅 being a 2nd year student in engineering now I know that it wasn't a joke 😁😁😁DON'T COME HERE 😅😅😅

[@BEngHielscher]

Hahaha that’s a funny coincidence

[@enami_0136]

Im trying to LEARN and i really want to but the exams are like every two weeks and are more based in repeating exercises rather than understanding..it’s so upsetting to be in between those two

[@NiaNick565]

Hey am stuck between choosing a beng tech and bsc in engineering tech ..which one is better in terms of employment

[@ASV_72]

Hi Ben, can you tell me about yourself? How old are you, what part of Australia do you live in? Where were you born?

[@voxyshots]

What’s your wage
