A Deeper Look At Mechanical Engineering Postgraduate Studies

The article named “Some Lessons from the Assembly Line” by Andrew Braaksma throws light on the importance of higher education by illustrating his real life experiences from his summer internship in a factory where he worked as a blue collar employee and learned that blue collar job has lots of disadvantages and is uncertain although it pays well.

Graduating college with a degree in a field of engineering is my current priority in life. Although I am currently unsure of which exact field of engineering I want to go in, I know I want to be an active part of ensuring the success of the future. This is why I want to be an engineer, there are endless routes to achieving my dream but very few of those routes overlap if with also receiving a degree from CNU. This paper will serve as a guide over the years for what steps I should take to become a world class engineer. This guide will serve as a reminder throughout the years how what habits I should maintain in order to thrive not only in school and the workplace but also life.

I found that England, Germany and French-Canada are all relatively similar when it comes to occupations they value. England, some of the most important and highest paying jobs belong to the financial field. Whether it was people involved in the stock market, CEO's, financial managers, etc. In Germany, many of the companies focus on various technology, so some of the most important jobs are engineering, IT, and software engineering. Also, car production is very popular in Germany, so many jobs are focused on manufacturing and designing automobiles. France is also a very technology driven country. Some of the most important jobs focus on the building cars and planes. France is also home to many other engineering fields like electrical engineering and computer

In Canada, there has been a shortage of manpower in the skilled trades for many years. This shortage, has created a substantial increase in wages for those in the skilled trades, and thus a viable career path for those who wish to work primarily with their hands. Although many do not think of automotive mechanics when they think of skilled trades, they are included in the grouping. Automotive mechanics are an essential part of our functioning society, as there are over a billion cars driving on the earth at any given time. The goal of this paper, is to understand the thought processes, and issues facing people in the skilled trades, which university students and professors may not be aware of.

At first, I gained an understanding of the roles of engineers in society and their contribution in it. This gave me the awareness to persist with my research of the roles of engineers in the present and in the future. By reviewing articles on the internet, I realised the changes that needed to be made to my research, which were to focus the research into the many aspects of engineering such as sustainability, problems faced by engineers and the impacts of new technology in engineering.

Engineering is a profession that requires a college education and holds a high level of prestige and respect. A specific type of engineer is mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is ranked #19 in “U.S. News 100 Best Jobs of 2014”( U.S. News & World Report). Mechanical engineers have to follow guidelines from ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), which was founded in 1880. “ASME is the leading international developer of codes and standards associated with the art, science, and practice of mechanical engineering. (ASME Setting the Standard 1-3)” To become a mechanical engineer what kind of education is necessary? What does the career entail? What is the financial stability of the job?

Mechanical Engineering has always been something of major importance in the world. Technology such as computers and automobiles won’t be possible without the work of mechanical engineers across the globe. Being a very complex field, it was not something that was developed over night, in fact; overtime thousands of brilliant minds have contributed to this field throughout history. The evolution of Mechanical Engineering is evident through the work of mechanical engineers like James Watt, Charles Babbage, Kate Gleason, and Rudolph Diesel. Mechanical Engineering is Important to society because without the engineers there wouldn’t be half of the cars, merchandise, or technology out there.

A person must be creative and mathematically headed to work as a mechanical engineer. He has to be creative enough to come up with solutions to new and pressing problems in their field. He has to be able to work out plans and manufacture never-before-seen devices to solve new challenges presented by innovation. The schooling for mechanical engineering is mainly focused on science and math principles. The University of Texas at Austin offers a great program to train mechanical engineers in the tools, technology, skills, and duties of their profession.

I have also got the chance to get a lot of insight into the processes of casting and welding. In my final year I took Production Planning and Control & Maintenance Engineering as my elective so that I could get initiated into the field. I got to know the basic operations of different mechanical systems of the automobile like the I.C. engine, brakes, clutches, powertrain, transmission and differentials. A Master’s degree would allow me to delve deeper into individual aspects of Industrial Engineering by studying and examining them in greater detail and gain practical experience by way of relevant internships. Hence Master’s in Industrial Engineering became an obvious necessity.

Demand of both technical background and management capabilities are keeping me enthralled with the field of industrial engineering. After twenty one months of industrial experience as Junior Manager at JSW Steel Coated Products Ltd, I strongly feel that bachelor degree in mechanical engineering is not sufficient for survival in this competitive field and hence I decided to explore more by pursing MS Industrial Engineering at X Y Z.

In this application, I illuminate the critical information as to Engineers Australia where is the greatest and trusted affiliation set up in Australia for Engineers. As I might need to apply and transform into a cooperation in this establishment, from now on I have to show my own abilities to meet the requirements by exhibiting my aptitude capacities and responding three units of competency relating to my appropriate level, which is Migration Skills Assessment. I moreover indicate how being a person from Engineers Australia preferences to my future occupation.

Engineering is a challenging, high-paying career. If you have up to date engineering skills, jobs are abundant. Engineering jobs often come with flexible hours, location flexibility, and the hard skills you learn translate easily to new positions

The need for Mechanical engineers is expected to increase with in the next 10-20 years(Mechanical Engineers). This is true for developed and underdeveloped nations. The need does not only include those who will build and fix problems, but those who design and can use such software required for much of the designing prosses.

My career of my dreams is a Mechanical Engineer. I decided this engineer between being a Chemist, Civil engineer, and an Athlete. I asked myself things like, “How long would I enjoy this job? What are the benefits of this job? How much would I be making?” I asked the questions that made the difference between a job and a career. I choose an engineer not only because of the Benjamins I would make, I chose to be an engineer because I have admired engineering from a small age. I have always been the type to build, create, and create more. My love for math really helped me love engineering. My passion has been to create, do science and math, and that is exactly what mechanical engineering is.
