Mechanical Engineering

You are learning how to build the physical foundation of the world. It is arguably the most permanent kind of engineering.

Focus on understanding how things fail rather than just the math, because that “engineering intuition” is exactly what turns a student into a designer.

 

First year

the academic equivalent of boot camp. It’s rarely about the cool engineering projects; it’s about proving you have the grit to handle the math and physics that make the rest of the degree possible.

 Second Year

While the first year was about proving you could survive the filter, the second year is where they start packing the toolbox. You’re no longer dealing with “perfect” systems, but you aren’t yet building “real” devices

 

Third Year

There is a high “drop-out or switch-major” rate during the second year, not because the students aren’t smart enough, but because the payoff is so far away. You are learning the syntax of engineering, but you haven’t been given the chance to write the story yet.
