Very good description. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Big Disclaimer: Yes everyone should watch this to learn about engineering, but before you commit to engineering yourself, you should either a) love math(s) quite a lot or b) think you could learn to love math(s) quite a lot. I've seen too many first and second year students crash and burn because they think of engineering more as a creative art and less as a mathematical science. To be sure, engineering has feet in both worlds, but it slants much more heavily toward mathematics.

Awww Computer Engineers... The ever forgotten awkward middle child of computer science and electrical engineering.

So glad to see this series become a reality!

At MIT, we called the Business students Money Engineers.

I'm a high school student right now looking into engineering, specifically nuclear engineering. Even though I'm kind of bad at math. But this series is really good! It's helping me with looking into this stuff :)

Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems.

I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "what is beauty?" because that would fall under your purview of conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.

I'm about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering. The last 5 years of my life have been dedicated to learning what it truly takes to become an engineer. I wish that this series started earlier but I am glad that this series has started now and I hope it inspires those who are willing to spend the time and effort learning to take on whatever field of engineering they want.

Fascinating stuff! Absolutely adore this series. It's so inspiring to see a woman like you in engineering. Thank you so much for this!

I love the way she says "some pretty fantastic inventions, " makes me feel as if im about to enter into a new creative, adventurous and imaginative new way of thinking

Engineering is when I place a teleporter behind blu base and a mini sentry right infront of their spawn door then running away calling for a medic (sorry, I had to)
