I am curious but for anyone who is studying mechanical engineering in Carleton university, how is it, how are co-op programs, how is studying, is it very hard, and is it worth getting a masters or PHD in mechanical engineering?

Hello. I am a grade 12 student and my school is starting in a month. To give some information about my interests and what I wanted to pursue in university, I wanted to do computer science, but my brother is a data scientist and warned me that computer science and a majority of these tech jobs have a lot of competition. He also warned me that AI is now writing code for a lot of companies, where employers are likely to be paying their employees less, but AI will not replace the job though completely. At the very first, I did bad at grade 10 science, got a 60% final primarily because biology screwed up my mark badly, but I did do ok in chemistry and physics. My family keeps telling me to pursue accounting and just stick with it since that’s what I told them first, but then my interests changed a lot and I now want to become an ME since computer science is not good this time. I did wanted to pursue accounting but I realized that some work is already being automated by AI, but my older siblings tell me that it’s easier to find a job and that engineering students often struggle to find job after graduation, even with a mechanical engineering degree. Now I deeply regret not taking chemistry and physics in grade 11, but I did already take advanced functions grade 12, as well as Grade 12 English. I can just take grade 11 chemistry and physics in first semester, with a free grade 12 course like drama, and a spare. Then in semester 2, I already am doing calculus and vectors e-learning or online, then I can take grade 12 chemistry and physics in semester 2. I genuinely have a much better passion for mechanical engineering rather than accounting, but at the same time I am not saying that accounting is terrible or bad. It slightly fits in my interests, and I’ll be honest, I primarily told my family and teachers that I wanted to pursue accounting, but I was doing it for the money, stability, not a very hard degree, and it’s one of the fewest jobs you can get with just taking the 2 math courses and grade 12 English. Now for the mechanical engineering students and workers, what would be my best plan to do right now before school starts? My family doesn’t inherently force me to take something else, but they strongly warn me about it, but I primarily trust research more rather than purely trusting everything my family says to me. If I confirm that I will study mechanical engineering, I can use semester 1 to significantly build up my chemistry and physics skills, that the majority of the formulas and concepts I learned will remain in my head when it’s semester 2, especially when semester 2 is intense, though I will have a spare.

Am interested in mechanical engineering rather than electrical or computer engineering, but I am curious if mechanical is the hardest type of engineering, or is it aerospace, electrical, or what?

Hi I am in grade 12 and am taking advanced functions (Grade 12 precalculus university-level preperation), and I need help with understanding radians, especially the word problems that come with them. What should I know about radians and how can I easily answer word problems about them, like this question: Using radians calculate how far apart two cities would be if the angle between them to the centre of the earth is π/30 rad?

Hi, so I am entering grade 12 this school year, and I am curious on what is the best youtube channel that teaches about advanced mathematics so I earn straight A's. I am taking all 3 mathematics, advanced functions (grade 12 U-level math, similar to precalculus but its the Canadian version), data management, and calculus and vectors. If he is not the best, then are there any other recommendations on how I should learn more about math to getting level 4's/ A's? I am planning to pursue computer science in a Canadian University, so I need to be great at maths.

Ok so I am entering grade 12, and I need to learn more about programming and Java since am taking the grade 12 computer science course this school year. I plan to pursue computer science in a Canadian university but I need some guidance from professional programmers on what is the best way to learn more about programming, especially Java the programming language. Ideally, is it recommended to learn/code on Java 1-2 hours a day? I need to learn Java since in my school, grade 12 computer science will teach and test you about Java, since in grade 11 they taught and tested me about python.

So I needed to create this post because I have a strong passion to creating software using computers, creating apps/programs for the digital world, etc. It is my dream to build software and create apps in technology. However, I got told multiple times that these technology degrees are not worth it anymore because of how AI is advancing so fast, employers don't even need workers or junior roles anymore. I AM SEVERELY WORRIED to how AI could take over these programming/tech jobs or even just pay there workers a low-mid wage income since AI would do most of the tasks. So from any professional programmer or computer scientist that has a lot of experince in these tech jobs and hirings, should I continue pursueing a computer science degree in university (and would it pay a high salary like ($100k-250k), or should I just study something else like accounting or engineering? For you guys to be aware, my family is basically clowning on me for pursueing a degree that "AI will replace it and it will write all of the code for apps", and I am just terrified if this is how the global workforce will work from now and in the future, like we will have AI doctors or therapists treating patients and kids. I don't mean to take up so much of your time, but I am entering grade 12 and I need more information about CS, and yes I absouletely have the work ethic to work a lot on math and different programming languages.
