Why don't you teach these subjects year by year on your YT channel in a sequence? Would be a great help from someone who understands the subject and its applications. Just imagine a whole engineering degree worth of knowledge floating on YT for someone who is really interested in engineering specially in Hardware. There's a lot of CS on YT but not quality EE.

39:50 Engineers can use the science as a playground to make their art.
Great abstract thinking! insightful

Thankfully, alot of schools havee either flowcharts or a "suggested 4 year plan" that help alot alot in comparing programs. Another technique I am using is assessing the research areas that interest ke and thusly looking at all the rraearch groups and labs a school has, since I plan on undergrad research. There are SO MANY research areas, its fantastic.

1 professor told me physics 1 and calc 2 tend to weed people out of STEM in large numbers. I often suspect that math teachers to communicate how much math is in these fields as well as how math can be used for, say, Economics, which is usually under Social Science, or Archaeology which mixes STEM and Humanities

I DO ve4y often hear that Junior year is the hardest for most engineering majors, save for apecial circumstances of class planning and such. Some schools give class credut if the work experuence satisfies course content. But this has limits.

Computer engineering seems so fun .
Best of Both Worlds❤.

Hey Ali, a video in which you show us your top picks of books that explain the big concepts in electrical engineering (circuit theory, electromagnetism, communication systems, etc) would be much appreciated 🙏

[violetvoids]

I had to learn Statics, Materials Science, Linear Algebra, Calculus 1, and Engineering Design in my first semester lmao, and I’m not even in Mechanical.

Ali: i lile very much your content. I am in a electrical/electronics engineering degree at the moment and your videos make me realize that I chose the right and best engineering field there is (not that you're biased obviously 😂). One thing that I've kept in mind is your take on what this degree should really be called (electromagnetics engineering) and i like to think of this field as what you called it. Thank you and have a good day

huge fan of LED ZEPPELIN here and generally rock n roll love all your videos ❤❤keep it up

Sounds like you're at JSC. I was just there in December! That gift shop really got me good.

Hello Ali,
I hope you're doing well.

I'm an international student. Recently, I have been admitted to Clemson and Drexel universities for Fall 2024.
Clemson costs $46k/yr while Drexel costs $54k/yr. Ranking is almost the same, both R1, great locations. Both offer focus areas in AI/ML.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could pls help me decide which one would be better to choose in terms of future job prospects for international students.

Thanks in advance!

If you like programming, AI and signal and image processing go for Computer engineering

[fadlgh]

It's a nice thing that some unis offer them as one major

[compumaniacos]

You forgot to cut that last part xd, great video

[Eeontop]

What’s up Ali 😊 I was wondering if you still had your EDM album on Spotify and where I can find it 🙂.

I was wondering if you could share some advice on choosing professors for college as I am currently a senior in hs and plan on doing electrical engineering in a year. I’ve heard that choosing professors are crucial to your gpa and education.

I need help please. getting a Bachelor degree in EE can allow you to get a master degree in SWE or is it better just to start as a SWE major in college?

[afnandanish]

Would love to see a video on skills for Computer Engineering students, cant seem to find a good video on that anywhere

[MMBB-bgsq]

Are these calculus 1-3 courses made especially for engineers or are these courses also visited by math students as well?

[pragunahuja]

Can you make a similar one for electrical and mechanical eng too?

Thanks!

[mista_j]

I'm currently a HS student doing a dual enrollment program, learning to be an electrician. I'm planning on going to college for electrical engineering since it sounds like a solid and interesting career. Any advice on whether I should change my path?

[shahedtheboss]

How can i read your books on "electrical engineering" in pdf, can't find it in the website
