Hey, I'm Jake Ryland
When I started engineering school, I was a below-average student with no experience handling complex subjects or a heavy academic workload. Unsurprisingly, I struggled big-time. I failed several courses and many exams.
I realized that if I wanted that diploma, something big had to change. I completely overhauled how I approached school—my mindset, my priorities, and most importantly, how I learned and studied.
It wasn’t easy, but it worked. From that point forward I never earned below a B and eventually graduated with a 3.8 GPA and a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.
After graduating, I realized my story wasn’t unique. Nearly half of engineering students never make it to graduation. Most are simply expected to figure everything out on their own—no roadmap, no guidance, just trial by fire.
Since 2021, I’ve been sharing the systems that helped me succeed through my YouTube channel, my book Becoming an Engineer, and the Engineering Success Academy.
I truly believe that anyone can become an engineer with the right systems in place—and if that’s your goal, I’m here to help.
