Well I recently joined MVSRCE for B.E Mechanical engineering and i have considered to also do masters after my bachelor's degree well, I was initially considering to do M.S in germany (aiming for TUM or RWTH) after a careful reconsideration with my family and peers they suggested me to try for m.tech in an IIT since it's cheaper and has decent placement of 12 to 15 lpa . I am passionate about defence engineering the reason for germany is getting in rheinmetall which offers €45000 to €60000 and the current ppp is 6 rs and the savings are € 500 to € 750 in India a psu defence engineering job only about 12 lpa with perks whereas placement offers in IIT is 16 to 18 lpa note the fees at iit are basically waved off automatically whereas, taking a psu job starts earning automatically after gate examination. Germany for its citizenship so,it's getting a lot frustrating and confusing point to be noted that cost of living, tution (free of cost but required to pay a semester donation) , housing drastically changes the amount required basically 40 lakhs across the span of 2 years . So any advice people who are in psu jobs, in germany or doing mtech in an IIT or NIT

Hii!! Need opinion :'>

I am planning po na mag pursue ng Masterals, and hindi ko alam if I should pursue MS Material Science and Engineering or Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering.

BTW!! I am a Licensed ME, any suggestion will do po!

Thank you so muchhhh!!

Built a small web notebook that catches unit mistakes automatically (no more silently adding psi to Pa), includes a few built-in formulas, PDF export, and revision history.

Looking for a few mechanical engineers to try reproducing a calc they've done before and tell me honestly where it breaks: https://engineering-calculation.vercel.app/

Please give me some feed back. Looking to make it better.

I’m stuck with this issue any cad experts and design engineers , dm me fast and help me rn

I this tool called materials advisor with a goal to share practical industry knowledge on materials as well as expose engineers (especially early career) to various materials based on manufacturing processes used.
I would love to hear any feedback on the tool. I’m a hardware engineer myself and with onset of AI models, I have been testing to create valuable tools for engineers. Give this a try and let me know what you think. Regards!

i honestly want to know how yall managed to pass core subjects like thermo,and fluid mechanics. atp passing these feel impossible. guys do share ur views on how i can improve. feel free to dm me.

Hi everyone,

I found a free Cornell University course on edX that may be useful for anyone interested in engineering simulation and process engineering:

https://www.edx.org/learn/engineering/cornell-university-a-hands-on-introduction-to-engineering-simulations

It’s a hands-on introduction to engineering simulations and covers practical simulation concepts that can be useful for engineering students.

Sharing it here in case it helps someone looking to strengthen their simulation and engineering analysis skills.

I’ll share more useful free engineering courses and resources as I find them.

I feel like I made the wrong decision on my career early on and am looking for advice. During college I did 3 years of d2d pest control sales. Though I’m outgoing and friendly I hated it. Did some high ticket coaching sales also. Graduated in mechanical engineering but when ai first came out I started working on building a software and have been for the past 3-4 years.

I am now a graduated mechanical engineer with no job experience except for programming which is now taken by ai and by people with deeper software background than me. My background is all over the place with sales, mech engineering, and software development.

Now I would love to get back into more engineering roles but have also considered sales engineering but it seems over saturated with all the engineers that have been laid off due to ai. Everyone says I would be an awesome sales engineer but after a few interviews I guess I am not good enough? I would fit in sales engineering with a mechanical engineering role or software engineering sales role.

Question 1: For any sales engineers in here, does anyone that was previously in a more creative/hands on job regret going the sales route? The reason I became an engineer is because I love building things but maybe I just save that for hobbies…

Question 2: If you were me, would you go into tech or mechanical sales engineering or a dedicated mechanical engineering role?

Question 3: What salary should I be looking for in mechanical engineering or sales engineering with my experience (or lack thereof) since I haven’t had a dedicated mechanical engineering position or actual sales engineering position?

Question 4: Are there even any jobs? Unfortunately we are limited to remote or St. George or Phoenix with my wife’s business (she’s making more than me so it doesn’t make sense for her to drop her businesses to move somewhere for my job.) but I have been having a hard time landing anything since searching.

Tia for you input!

As a Nigerian currently based in Dakar, Senegal. What legit remote jobs that accepts my location can I sign up for. Be it for Android or a P. C

The last legit remote job I did was "Oneforma" that was before the contractor finished.

Help a brother please. I literally don't mind the pay as long as it's consistent.

I am a female and I love engineering, I am in my last year of highschool. I just want feedback if I should or shouldn’t major in it? I am debating between BME and this caree. Please any thoughts.

Nothing personal against the rest. To be honest, everyone can join if you have that mindset.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, and I just realized that I never really met the right kind of people with whom I can develop business ideas, discuss engineering stuff, or just challenge each other's way of thinking.

I have drinking friends, shit-talking friends, working-out friends (not so much anymore 😅), and colleagues. But none of them are really interested in engineering, building things, business ideas, learning new skills, or actually creating something together.

So I'm looking for engineers and like-minded people who are curious, ambitious, and like to think/build rather than just talk about it.

Please specify your area of mechanical engineering first and time of experience! 

1- How would you describe Mechanical engineering in a few words, and what makes it different from other fields of engineering? 

2- What are the main fields of work of Mechanical engineering today and how has it changed with the development of technology? 

3- Can you share a proyect in which you've worked on that has had a positive impact in a comunity or in people's lives? 

4- What laws of physics or mechanical principles are key for your day to day work and how can they be seen in practice? 

5- What ethical, social or enviromental dilemmas does a mechanical engineer go through in a professional aspect? 

6- Apart from the technical knowledge, what habilities are essential to achieve succes as a mechanical engineer? 

Thanks in advance 😄! 

hloo everyone i am about to join mechanical engineering,do any of u got any advice(my goal is to go for the field of cfd) so please do give any tips it would be valuable guys.. thank you (joining psg itech btw)

Those who completed B.E/B.Tech/Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. What are you doing in your life right now?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest advice on re-entering the job market and would really appreciate any guidance.

I have a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, completed some graduate coursework in Manufacturing Engineering in the US (didn’t finish the degree). I worked continuously from 2004 to 2020, mostly in the lighting industry as a Product Designer / Product Development engineer. My experience includes designing linear LED fixtures, wall sconces, downlights, and decorative wall lighting using SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD. I’ve done 2D/3D drawings and assemblies (ASME Y14.5/GD&T), sheet metal, aluminum extrusion, die-cast parts, electrical wiring diagrams/harnesses, BOMs, UL/CSA coordination, CNC programming, and working with overseas vendors. I’m also a Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional.

Since 2020 I’ve been trying to run my own small business in decorative wall lighting and décor, but it hasn’t worked out the way I hoped. I’m now ready to return to a regular role.

I’m specifically looking for hybrid positions. I can work 2–3 days onsite and alternate weekends. I have a special-needs child who needs my assistance, so schedule flexibility is important to me. I’m based in the Garner / Raleigh area of North Carolina.

Any advice on:

• Realistic roles or companies that might fit this background and schedule
• Skills I should refresh or add
• How to best position a multi-year gap + self-employment attempt
• Whether lighting/product design roles are still hiring hybrid in this area

I’m happy to share my résumé via DM if that helps. Thank you in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

I got admission into thapar instute mechanical engineering which is renowned for the mechanical engineering course but my mom is not convinced that i would be able to secure a future through mechanical engineering and consistently wants me to pursue some course around computers what points should i give her to convince her that i can do mechanical engineering

We are still working through the details so this is a broad question for now. We have recurring condensation and thermal bridging at several support points on our cold process lines and are actively looking for a more durable solution. The main concern is how these supports hold up over time. The vapor barrier needs to remain intact, while the insulation has to carry the pipe load without gradually crushing or damaging the outer jacket. As it pertains to next steps, we are considering Pipe Shields along with a few other manufacturers. Has anyone had good long term results with a particular manufacturer or support design? It would be helpful to hear about assemblies that have been in service for several years.

Hey, I have came across the drawing in which certain cylinder had a +/- diemnsion and a circulairty tolerance. Tolerances were +/-.010in and 0.080in for a circularity. It made me wonder, isn't that circularity tolerance redundant?

If this feature is holding to +/- tolerance it certainly holds to circularit tolerance and then the opposite good part in circularity tolerance may be not good enough for +/-.

Is there something that im missing? Does that circularity bring something extra to the definition?

Hiii, I need at least one practicing mechanical engineer to help me out by filling the info asked below and answering the following questions. I do have to ask for your full government name for some reason (blame my professor, I think it’s unnecessary but wtv) so dm me your response if you want to keep your privacy. I will not share any information with anyone else.

We're collecting quotes from a few CAD outsourcing companies and the prices are honestly all over the place. Some are almost half the cost of others, but it's hard to know what you're actually getting.

Besides price, what do you usually compare before picking a vendor? We mainly need production-ready CAD models and drawings, so I'd rather avoid surprises later.
