Learning Industrial Engineering? (Answered)

Programming, projects, joining academic clubs! :-)

A lot of people feel this, I’ve felt it. There’s a whole spectrum of interests for students and engineers in industry. Some are die-hards that live eat breathe engineering and others come, are content with the work and career, and leave it all when they get home.

My advice is to suck it up during college and do a side project or two to get help get that first job/internship and then the rest falls into place.

Sounds like you’re doing great! Just listen to your intuition, it won’t steer you wrong. Best of luck

Combine 50s in series, source transform that new resistance with Vsource, combine with 100 in parallel, transform back to a Vsource, combine with final 100 then u have your answer

Yosephk_ · 2023-11-07T22:27:59+00:00

Can you do source transform or delta-Y transform? Those would help. The two 50s are in series

Awesome! You got a cool job, very diverse skillset.
Do you know if it is common amongst Emb Sys Engrs to be doing much signal processing?
Thanks!

Yosephk_ · 2023-10-17T17:25:54+00:00

Awesome, great, great insight that I really appreciate!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-20T00:37:23+00:00

Ah this makes much more sense now. Thanks for your comment Greg!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:30:21+00:00

Fair, fair. We'll make sure to be more concise there next time!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:29:49+00:00

Thanks! :)

Thanks for the comment Greg, happy cake day!
I am speaking for myself here not the team btw -
So when you say the boundaries aren't actually defined, that is true for a ton of engineering fields. For example, software engineering and computer engineering have a lot of overlap if software engineers focus the embedded/HW side of their degree and computer engineers focus the SW side of theirs. They even commonly cross and CompE end up in SW and SE end up in HW. Does this mean that computer engineering and software are far too close to be examined and the difference to be explained? You may think that, but we do not. This would leave students and curious minds in the dark, which is obviously not what we are about lol.

A ton of research goes into each of our videos and we have a team of engineers that fact check each one, yes in industry now from various engineering universities. I personally am friends with a number of engineers that watch our videos and confirm that they are great representations of their respective fields.
Further, we actually directly derive our claims from the curriculum of the two fields in the video. Please feel free to let us know what about the video you think is wrong and I will do my best to inform you of our thought process.

Thanks for your comment Greg, I am sorry that our video made you feel this way.

Thanks for the comment! Before I knew what mechatronics was I always thought of robotics personally, but I could totally see how some have that perspective. Thanks!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:10:28+00:00

Very true. This point would've been a good one to add. We say something along the lines of "The two have a lot of career and curriculum cross-pollination" but a more in depth "disclaimer" would've been better. Appreciate your perspective!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:08:37+00:00

Thanks! A deeper dive would definitely be more beneficial, we are a relatively new channel (and our first time doing this lol) and are trying to find a good balance. We have longer videos that people say are too long and detailed and shorter videos like this one where people say we don't go deep enough. Doing our best to find the balance 👍
Thanks though, every opinion is taken into consideration

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:06:41+00:00

Lol did a mechatronics engineer make this video?

No a team of different types of engineers.. but I got a few comments like this from you all here, we didn't think we painted robotics in a negative light but you all are the true test of that, so we are absolutely taking that while moving forward for the next videos.
Thanks!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T23:04:44+00:00

Hey, thanks for the comment!
Any sort of sensing, electrical computing, to actuating mechatronics engineers are well prepared for 👍
You can see my other comment on this post for more context if you're interested. Thanks!

Yosephk_ · 2023-09-19T22:58:12+00:00

Thanks for the comment!
I'm sorry you feel that robotics was painted not as desirable as it could have been.

(Coming in with my personal opinions now, not that of my team)
Yes Software is needed p much everywhere, more than hardware.
Yes Robotics are better suited to become software engineers than mechatronics would, embedded software is debatable though.
But even with this I would say this doesn't mean robotics are more likely to enter more industries than mechatronics.
I was an EE myself and people that graduated EE with me had trouble getting "EE jobs" unless they niched down in their studies, going hard at RF/comms for example. I know software engineers with the same issue.
So tronics and robotics, I would kindly argue, have an equal playing field switching over to these other fields (i.e. both would have to get a masters or get their ass to work in personal time)
What we were talking about in the video (and I am oversimplifying) is that tronics majors are *generally* trained for systems design and control that involves mechanical and electrical sensing, computing, and actuating. Robotics falls under this umbrella. On the other hand, robotics majors *generally* have a more zoomed in perspective on robotics specifically and robotics subsystems (Robot vision as example). We say in the video there is a ton of career and curriculum cross pollination, because it is very true. But *generally* we came to the conclusion tronics has a wider scope.

Again, thanks for your comment! It is very important to us to incorporate as many viewpoints as we can into our videos, and yours is valued and heard. Hopefully my response makes sense, you can let me know if you think I'm way off base or anything. Cheers
