The BEST Engineering Major If You Can't Decide

Can't decide which type of engineering you should go for? In this video, I share the best engineering major to study to keep your options open and learn about a variety of different fields if you just can't decide which one you want to do.

As a mechanical Engineer you will be the only one who can program a PID, review a breadboard, code the CNC, go shape the parts in a lathe, set up an automated line and design an airfoil, laser and Rocket.... Anything static will become your friend....

thats true.mechanical is so diverse it covered almost all engineering fields.the training and knowledge is so significant and will help you a lot if you later decided to divert to other route, im mechanical engr shifted to software engineering to build my startup.

Hi Anna!
I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks cos I've been in a career/vocational crisis after finishing my mechie major last october. I just wanted to say that I found your videos so eyeopening and accurate compared to what many mechanical engineers feel just right after exiting uni. In my case, I had already started the masters in mechie during my bachelors but ended up burnt out after my final thesis/structural design project, and started to evaluate more options, specially towards industrial and financial engineering... anyways. Keep it up with your channel, you've got here a very loyal suscriber! Haha

Something that I feel is also important to mention: Because mechanical engineering is very broad but still deep in it's syllabus, it's a very heavy work load. Mech Eng programs don't cheap out on complexity in order to fit all those different disciplines in. I'm currently in 4th year mech eng and one of my best friend's 4th year civil, and I FOR SURE have had to learn higher level maths than he has plus have had a larger work load. But, if you're driven and love tech/science, then I promise you will love all the amazing things you learn (although you will be EXHAUSTED). Love u Anna<3

I still remember the day a lawyer came to give a talk and I knew that wasn't me. Went to careers and asked what to do (graduated from A-levels in 6months or less). Got asked what I wanted to do. All I knew was I liked making stuff, so I said engineering. The lady asked me which one, at the time had NO IDEA there were 3 pages of worth of sub engineering degrees. I asked for for the most general one, she said Mechanical and decline offers to Durham Law. NEVER LOKKED BACK! Hardest decision but the best one I ever made...

thx, I am still in Hight School and I was wondering about which engineering major could be the best one for my, I always wanted something that could be usefull in almost any field, so first I was looking for mechatronics or aerospace because they use a lot of diferent knoledge that you find in differents engineers, but I was worrying about chossing a to specific route, so I think that Im goint to go to a Mechanical engineering degree and then move betwen industries to learn and aport to every industry that I like.

Hi, Anna loved your content shift. Some young students will not listen to your whole podcast, as this will help better in their life, because they are hearing different aspect of some of the guests you invited in your podcast. As a last year Mechanical Engineering, even I am greatly benefitting from such videos.

Hi Anna, I have seen in many universities the Mechanical Engineering degree has two types like one with this title (hons) and other without. Does this title makes a difference?

Meanwhile me in 1st year : oh that's a relief 😃👍

Do you think industrial engineering is another good one? I like working with my hands/manufacturing industry, but I’m not the best at math. I figured IE was the best fit since it has the least amount of math. Love your videos btw! :)
