videos | at work | information | view | construction
Should I be a mechanic or an engineer? What's the difference between an engineer and a mechanic? Is it better to be a mechanical engineer or a technician? 1. What is the educational requirement for engineers and technicians? 2. What's the educational experience like? 3. How much do engineers/mechanics make? 4.What’s the job requirement like? 5.What are the advantages/disadvantages of this job? Would you recommend it?

Very useful discussion. Perhaps you two could do a product project. If you took a car and examined it from a mechanic's perspective, and an engineer's perspective I bet lots of neat cool things would surface that would otherwise be missed.

machinist vs engineer make it happen

Great video. I'm a junior engineer myself and definitely feel the same about getting thrown into the deep end. One main difference I didn't see mentioned is the gratification of completing challenges. My projects have been high stress for 1 year or more with very little gratification in the end. I see sales of the products climbing and feel great about that of course but whenever I correctly diagnose and fix car problems, I get that great sense of pride and satisfaction with completing a much smaller task. The feedback is just so much more direct. I imagine that is a perk of being a technician. In engineering we're never truly satisfied with our products because we want the best. Faster, quieter, more efficient, more durable... but have to make sacrifices for the budget to keep management happy. It's a tough gig!

I love this video
-
I want to be a mechanic when im older
What basic things should I know/study? -
canbus systems in cars are what ruined the modern automobile.
-
I'm in the software engineering field (yes, I realize that sw engineering isn't "real" engineering), and it's fascinating to hear all the pros and cons in the mechanical engineering field are almost identical. I really enjoy watching this video.

Seems like engineering is like a design job. In design there is Crunch time because of unexpected problems.
-
hii.... what is the difference between mechanical engineer and power plant engineer?
-
I'm seriously thinking on studying to be a Mechanic Engineer. Is it hard to get a job in an automotive company as a mechanical engineer? Cheers from Puerto Rico!

I studied bmw level 3 training at uti and then started at the dealer making 15 an hour and stayed making that same pay for over a yr , pretty sad imo , they don't pay techs enough
-
What can I be if I study automotive engineering technology..
-
Great explanation. Thanks guys. You have a thumbs up from me.

Engineers are the cause of todays mechanical failures world wide.
QUIT USING PLASTIC in engine mechanical parts you idiots !
Add 20% more of what is required to complete the task !
SUFFICIENT does not mean GOOD, it just means CHEAPER TO MAKE. It need to be 20% OVER efficient, else its a piece of garbage engineering. -
I don't care if you are an engineer as long you don't ambush my self-driving with crashing or voluntary hidden defect for accidents.

I see a Rogue nation sticker! Cheers for Portland beers!

hello could we talk privately? Also would you be willing to review a prototype electric car?

It's not the techs, it's not the engineers, it's marketing"

his definition to civil engineering is very direct and partially wrong. Take bridges for example, not the suspending type, the civil bridges with beam girdirs, columns/piers.... You would think the girdirs or piers are stationary, but they are actually not, they are under contact cyclic stress, which would cause a fatigue if the limit of yielding is very low as designed by a safety factor.
LIke for example, girdirs have more tensile strength than compressive strength, once installed they would be facing immense cyclic tensile load which would be equalized by high tension cables, hence mechanical engineering can be applied in designing of the girdirs or piers. Hence mehcanical engineering is not only related to moving parts but as long as no current or voltage nonsense is applied to it, and is not the prime/core of the thing, it involves mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers also study bridges, trusses, suspending type bridges,calculating stresses, their limits, load on the joints... so what i am saying is structure is not only civil, mechanical engineering is the derivative of it. Just my opinion. -
This is a great video. I feel like techs can end up in a niche also. There is one at my work who is the SLR guy. Poor guy has pulled more engines out of those than almost anyone else.
My own experience is somewhat unusual because I actually experience both sides of this. I went to school for engineering and got pretty far along, but couldn't hack it. Then I started part time at a performance shop while going to mechanic's school. Then I worked full time as a tech at the company I'm at now. Then when the engineers quit, I was like, 'I've got some schooling there". And now I'm on the engineering team.
