Why I Gave Up on Automotive Engineering

Many people make a mistake by studying automotive engineering just because they think they like cars, but it's not like that at all.

In this video I explain why automotive engineering major may not be what you actually want, and share my story as an engineering student in automotive major.

Working on cars at a used car dealership isn't Automotive Engineering. The work you were doing was automotive repair as an automotive technician. You are misinforming people. There are actual 4 year degree's where someone studies Automotive Engineering.

Dumb click bait. Bro wasn’t even a mechanic let alone an engineer 😂😂😂. I wouldn’t even bother to comment on it if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m in my 3rd year in mechanical engineering with a focus in automotives. If any engineering students see this comment before starting the video just skip the video it’s a waste of 4 minutes.

So as a current student of Automotive Automotive engineers you are required to design, simulate, and fabricate solutions to problems that arise infront of you. As an Automotive Engineer you are incharge of a team that works together to solve a problem that a company may be having with their product and need you to design a solution that is effective and efficient.

An engineer designs the car, what you did was work on the product, it aint the same

just wanted to drop a quick message to say thank you for your amazing videos on electrical engineering. As an EE enthusiast, I've learned so much from your content and truly appreciate the effort you put into sharing your knowledge. Keep up the fantastic work! Love you bro❤

I'm glad I know what I want. I can sit under a car and stare at it for hours, just looking at things and seeing how it works. If I'm stressed I jack my car up and I look over things and just think about how I can improve the engineering. I don't have much money but I definitely know that I want to be an automotive engineer. I watch people build custom brackets for their cars just for fun 😐

Your title says "Why I gave up on Automotive Engineering" but you were never an automotive engineer so you never gave up being an engineer since you were never one to begin with...

I'm testing out a new editing style. What do you guys think? Do you prefer the more raw videos or this editing?

[samflesner]

Interesting, I found the same thing for myself. I love cars, and have worked as an ASE certified technician in the past. I’m starting medical school in June for many of the same reasons

L video don’t watch. He’s a automotive technician not an engineer

[binsoy]

I agree that the skill to troubleshoot a problem is more important than actually fixing the problem because it applies to everything. I was a military vehicle mechanic for almost a decade, and the thing that made my job fun was the troubleshooting part. As soon as I figure out the problem, the excitement wears off.

This editing style will probably do better with viewer retention (and do better in the algorithm) but I feel like just the raw video is a lot more down to earth and enjoyable to watch but that’s my .02. Anyway I love cars as well, have about 3 years left of EE and would love to work on cars one day

[Lil_electrician]

The editing style is sick, keep this up

[jaylhz]

thats... an automotive technician not... an engineer

[richiekahanji]

Hei Ali, how old are you. it seems like you have done so much in your life while me on the other hand freaks out to change direction just because i have already wasted 6 months, on it

[erfantaheri]

dude now you find youtube for diagnosing us haha, keep it up buddy

[addissinia]

How long does it take you to learn about cars ? did you go to school and study Authomechanics?

[nathankabotambuy]

What do you think on control systems engineering?

[zosanga]

Your videos would be better if you talk a lil' bit slow.

[lostways]

Appreciate your insight! Keep those real-life fork in the road decision-making videos. Thank to this video, I had the motivation to continue on with my journey to find my own way to make a difference in people's lives.
