MY SOCIAL MEDIA:

ABOUT ME:
My name is Tamer Shaheen and I am a final year engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I like to make videos about university/college, engineering, and personal development. Thank you so much for watching!!

I think the most beautiful thing about engineering is that no matter what program you end up choosing, you will always end up learning things from other specialties. As an electrical engineer who studied in Spain, I can say I have learnt a lot of stuff that were mentioned in this video about the mechanical, software, chemical and civil engineering which proves that you gain a lot of knowledge from a lot of different disciplines even if you think you are just focusing in one program

[nielpatel]

It’s really great to have someone who post videos on what their viewers really want. Thanks bro. Be Safe!!

[MohamedAhmed-shcd]

I love how concise yet informative all your videos are, man. Keep it up!

[Jesse_Scoccimarra]

This video has helped me narrow down the majors I want to consider when I go to college. I thank you for your hard work and dedication to this channel.

Great video man, i’m a computer engineer because I always marveled over electricity and the actual hardware that makes electronics work but I also love coding. Highly recommend this major. Along with aerospace, I’d say it’s the best major that is split among the big 5 bc you don’t spread yourself too thin

As a freshman in highschool who has always wanted to be an engineer for as long as I can remember, but doesnt know exactly what kind, this video felt like it took some sort of weight off my shoulders. I dont know how to explain it, but having a vague idea of my options has helped me lean towards more specific careers than simply an "engineer"

[rjhowtos]

Thank you so much for this valuable information. I don't think anyone broke it down as well as you did. I'm glad I found your channel.

[RealYeeter]

Thank you so, so much. For all my life I've said I wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer, but I was honestly never really sure. After watching this, it's clear that Civil Engineering is the one for me. Thank you!!

Hey Tamer, I am a ChemE working at a FAANG company and majority of my colleagues have degrees in chemical engineering. We work specifically on manufacturing quantum computing semiconductors. These types of jobs can be found at IBM, Microsoft, Google and even Meta (with regards to their quest headsets). Anything that deals with the manufacturing of semiconductor process we can definitely work at. It surprised me as well actually because I didn’t know so many ChemEs could work in this one field lol.

[QuietObserver]

I cannot express my thanks enough! First time I've gotten straightforward information quickly! Thanks again :]

[darylhopkins]

This was a great video. Easy to understand and gives the viewer a simplified approach to engineering.

[EngineeringwithDrKelseyJoy]

Awesome video! I like how you categorized these. I think one big difference within the categories is the starting salaries for the different types of engineering. Also if you specialize more you are more likely to be in a more specific type of job.

[riverriver]

fast, accurate and straight to the point. bravo. subbed.👍

[theimpossiblecastillo]

You my friend are a huge help to me. I am interested in Mechanical engineering. I support your chanel! Thank you. Keep it up. 😃

This is what I want to do, *Financial Engineering.* In the sense, depending what you’re doing, Software, Computer, and System Design Engineering being used for the financial industry.

There’s a lot of variables to this, like I said like it’s not just as simple to explain as I’ve stated above. Another way to put it is applying the scientific method and science related things (econ, math, stats, cs, etc.) for the Financial Industry; you’ll mainly work with something in relation to stocks or stock trading.

Another definition of Financial Engineering is creating/utilizing financial tools, literally anything with money and how it’s used, to the technology of block-chaining and credit. Hence, creating them and knowing how to implement them.

omg i did civil engineering for a year and was either going to pursue it in uni or do architecture but they sent me to mechanical engineering so ive been really disappointed ngl but this video made me look @ it from a diff view and the opportunities seems amazing!! thank you sm gonna go through all your vids lol

[emz]

I have been really enjoying your videos! I'm in the middle of my first year of astronautical engineering and your videos have been very encouraging and informative.

[BaBababa-hyvv]

This is the most condense and informative video about all types of engineering I'ver ever watched.

[evolvewithbaha]

You are amazing. Keep doing what you're doing. It's is really useful and helpful!

[solarguyk]

A few modifications I would suggest. Nuclear engineering is a category of its own. In electrical engineering you left out some key focus categories (semiconductor, digital design, power systems / transmission. Electromechanical). Systems Engineer isn't necessarily software based ; it's multidisciplinary and usually focuses around optimization and comprehensive problem solving (a mile wide and an inch deep). Lastly there are niche fields like test engineering. Quality engineering, metrology. Biomedical and others that deserve mention.
