Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines and highly appreciated in several industries around the world. Engineers design societies. Mechanical engineers create and build devices to enable that design.

With growing competition and trends, it has become more difficult to decide what should be the best course for a student. This article might help you to figure if MechE is your thing.

First, what are the possible jobs after Mechanical Engineering? Here are a few to give you an idea.

1.    Quality Analyst

2.    Production Engineer

3.    Manufacturing

4.    Maintenance & Support

5.    Logistics

6.    Driveline Engineer

7.    Designing Equipment

8.    Mechanical Design Engineer

9.    Mechanical Process Engineer

Mechanical Engineering has also been producing other great careers like Drafters, Natural Scientists, Statisticians, Physicists, and Astronomers.

The principles of Mechanical Engineering are applied everywhere, so it is obviously a popular choice.

So, Why else is Mechanical Engineering a globally accepted choice? I think it is because of the following reasons:

1.    Wide and everlasting scope

2.    9% growth in jobs every year.

3.    Even if you wish to work abroad, MechE has universal acceptability

4.    Extensions like Automobile, Aerospace, Nanotechnology

5.    Forefront of future technologies

What will you learn during mechanical Engineering? You get to learn about the applications in real life. Subjects range from topics related to energy, thermodynamics, hydro, renewable, equipment etc. The course starts with a basic thing like screws and goes to the study of bigger machines and lathe work. The major focus is on subjects like thermal engineering, fluid sciences, machine designing, industrial engineering, production engineering etc.
