Electrical Engineering vs. Mechanical Engineering (Which is Best?)

I love my EE peeps, we complement each other very well

Electrical engineering is number one for me.

Ooh, I want to point out that class projects are heavily underrated. I got a really good job by showcasing my class projects. Here are the reasons these are great. 1. They actually use the advanced math and physics that you learn in your classes. Most engineers don’t retain these math skills that well. 2. You get experience and a high GPA when you do well on them. 3. You have an expert advisor in your professor. 4. If it’s a group project, it shows you can work with people (or at least carry the project if needed). 5. They are constrained to just a few months so you can do a bunch throughout your major. It’s a win-win. I do recommend you have 1 internship/research by the time you graduate though :)

I am an Electrical Engineer but Mechanical Engineering is much broader depending on the university offering its programs. In my uni in Germany mechanical Engineers could easily made an graduate even in electronics or even specialising in antennas but an Electrical Engineer would need a complete undergraduate to go get an admission on mechanical engineering.

Ali you should do a video with Tamer Shaheen, that would be the best collab ever

This is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate both a lot for sharing this.

Amazing conversation, I found this really helpful as someone who’s going in my first year of electrical engineering but always having doubts, you should really do more of these

Loved the video Ali. As someone whos struggling to choose what engineering type to major in, these types of "podcast" videos really really help!! Please make more of these

The one that you find satisfying because at the end of the day we both need each other. But as a mechanical student, i will confidently say, electrical is harder. I just found mechanical more satisfying based on what i'd generally want to do in life

Wow great podcast/vid. I personally learnt alot from the both of you, @Arielviewzs really has good engineering ethic she has developed and so do you Ali. We aspiring or already engineers need to cultivate these ethics just like you guys. Thank again.

hey just wanted to thank you for this comment. is really useful for someone like me who is still in high school to get different perspectives for free. also the content is really high quality keep it up

This was very insightful, I don't see long concept podcast like videos about engineering on Youtube, you should make more of these, they would probably grow your channel and help out engineers.

Finite element analysis is used because equations end up be not closed (non analytical) form, so you need computer to solve the equations hence finite element analysis, think of infinite series in calculus , as you add more terms your approximation becomes more accurate.

Fantastic video! I’m a new mechanical engineer and I’m starting my masters in Electrical engineering because I love math. I feel like mechanical engineering is so intuitive that the skills are much easier to pick up while electrical engineering definitely demands that you know some math. So the job security will probably be a lot stronger having both sets of skills. Of course mechanical engineering can become a lot more complex, but as a new engineer, the stuff I’m working on just isn’t that hard. I want to do harder math 😅

Go follow @Arielviewzs (on TikTok and Instagram) -- she will have a youtube channel soon. What would you like to say to her? :)

I cant wait to watch all of this, im literally torn between these majors given I start uni next year!

It is really really really impressive broadcast and great chat, she is so strong inspiring person and you are so directed person, you both made this really great time of my day

Great video

I think I will go for Mechanical Engineering because is more broad and a jack of all trades then Electrical Engineering

I may not be in visual learning that much but more of an auditorial learning of which learning visual helps as well 2:29
