You should be able to get any entry level Mechanical Engineer position.  You will start a little less but your salary will increase rapidly once your employer realizes you actually know how to do stuff.\n\nI have a degree in Computer Graphics Technology, I had some work expereince with AutoCAD and PRO&#92;E.  My first job, as a Mechanical Engineer right out of school, I earned about $35K in Atlanta.  Now (3 years later) I make about twice that.

Mechanical or material science engineering, depending on what aspect of it you want to work on.  Mechanical engineers work on the nozzles and alignment.  Material science engineers work on making the material better and cheaper.  At Washington State University a few years back, they had a team working on stereo lithography who found a way to add fibers, making the parts effectively useful as prototypes, even in assemblies under load.\n\nComputer science is probably another one since folks are always looking to improve the code and make it easier and cheaper to use.

Mechanical Engineering is a pretty broad field. If you are interested in HVAC, I may be able to help.There is a relatively new emphasis on 'Green Buildings'. One aspect of that for Mechanical Engineers is integrating each of the mechanical systems. For instance, if you are adding solar water heating to a building, consider the effects of placing those heaters in front of outside air intakes. Use the waste heat from the collectors as a pre-heater for the outdoor air.\n\nAnother example, collect rain water in a cistern. Use that to either spray the roof for evaporative cooling or as gray water for urinals and water closets.

Mechanical engineering is very wide field. \nJust to give you an Idea;-\n\nDesign a product say  hair pin. Mech engineer makes a drawin g  showing how it will look in three dimension. determine if it will function as intended,  send it into manufacturing  area where if there is any problem, then redesign so manufacring problem can be solved. he also deals materials, to determine if the material use will stand up in the  real life. Also he thinks of cost aspect to make it affordabls, and designs accordingly.\n\nDesigning a system. Let us say  AC system. Mech engr has to know what machine,how big or small, with what capacity,and feature will be required. Then me makes a layout to determine the proper arrangement of machine, ducts, outlets, etc and work with electrical engineer to make sure  that system will without  problems.\n\nThis very small part of engineering.You need to make calculations  to determine requirements.

Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that includes the application of mechanical principles and mathematics for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical components. Typically, most mechanical engineers work in design, maintenance, sales, processing, or a combination. I work in maintenance which is a good combination of mechanical design and field maintenance. If you want a textbook definition check out wikipedia. Here are a couple of other good starting points:\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm\nhttp://www.asme.org/

A mechanical engineer uses scientific knowledge & ingenuity to solve mechanical problems. So you need to have a strong background in the branches of physics that deal with mechanics: statics & dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. Of course, to learn all this you need to be strong in mathematics.\nFrom there, the knowledge extends to more specialized fields like engines, control systems, materials science, etc. You'll learn all these in college when you study for your mechanical engineering degree, so don't worry.\n\nHowever, there is no set requirements for software. Nowadays, mechanical engineers are expected to be able to use computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Popular examples of CAD programs are AutoCAD, Solidworks, Unigraphics, Catia & Pro/Engineer. The good thing about CAD software is that all of them are basically the same. There are only minor differences. So if you can use one, you can learn to use the others easily.\n\nMore specialized engineers need to use more specialized software. There are stress analysis programs like Nastran or I-DEAS to calculate the strength of structures. Programs like FLUENT calculate fluid flow problems.\n\nIt is becoming increasingly important for mechanical engineers to know programming languages. So I recommend that you learn languages like C++ or Basic.\n\nDon't forget the basic office software like MS Office or Lotus Smartsuite. You'll need to use them to store & analyze data, write reports & prepare presentations.

Usually, not much unless you go on to get a MS or some other advanced degree.  Your better bet would be a chemical engineering degree and then going on to work in the petroleum industry or some other kind of chemical manufacturing process.

There a few a sources for guidance for Projects in Mechanical engineering.\n\nMechanical engineering societies offer assistance to engineering students.\n\nIf you are in College, the guidance department will have a list of Alumni who provide the Free Guidance service.\n\nI have attached a reference site:\n\nhttp://www.murdough.ttu.edu/TBPE/StudentBrochure.pdf\n\nGood Luck and regards.

I'm a mechanical engineer and though I don't have trouble handling the equipement I rarely have to.  And if something is too hard I can get a tech to do it for me.\n\nClasses tend to be more hands on then the real world.  They want you to understand what your telling others to work with.\n\nFor example I took welding but I have never actually welded at any job I've had. Even if I wanted to they require the ceritifed guys do the welding.

Fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering typically include:\nstatics & dynamics \nstrength of materials \nsolid mechanics, \ninstrumentation and measurement, \nthermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, and refrigeration / air conditioning, \nfluid mechanics and dynamics, \nmechanism design (including kinematics and dynamics), \nmanufacturing technology or processes, \nengineering design, \nmechatronics and/or control theory, \ndrafting or CAD/CAM. [5][6] \nMechanical engineers are also expected to understand and be able to apply basic concepts from chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and physics. Most mechanical engineering programs include several semesters of calculus, as well as advanced mathematical concepts which may include differential equations and partial differential equations, linear and modern algebra, and differential geometry, among others.\n\nIn addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as mechatronics / robotics, transport and logistics, cryogenics, fuel technology, automotive engineering, biomechanics, vibration, optics and others, if a separate department does not exist for these subjects.[7]\n\nVR

Check out biomedical engineering if you get a chance... that is really the hottest engineering discipline right now...\n\nBUT, I would choose electrical engineering since you can do SO MUCH with that degree: Power engineering, RF/microwave, computers, software, circuits, system engineering, nano-engineering.... \n\nI also know of some electrical engineers who work as mechanical engineers... so in any event you are never really stuck... \n\nAlso, know that electrical engineering is the closest engineering discipline to pure physics... \n\nBUT choose mechanical engineering if mechanical doo-hickeys fascinate you... you are good with your hands... you like math.... you are comfortable using CAD tools on the computer.... you feel comfortable in a machine shop.... \n\nIn terms of the JOB MARKET.... as long as you get good grades in college you will get a job... TRUST ME. Good engineers are a rarity... ALSO, if you learn a foreign language like Chinese or Korean than the job recruiters will be knocking your door down.

Not necessarily just electrical. I have friends taking a robotics course which is a mechanical engineering course. I believe it is dealing with things like factory automation.

Industrial Engineering is a branch of Mechanical Engineering which deals with Production Process Planning & design, Quality Asurance / Control methodologies & standards, Some part of Legal laws, Plant loyout, Operation research & more of management. These engineers work in PPC dept, QA / QC dept & in other management dept.

I would go with comp technician. There are a LOT more open positions for that than for a comp engineer. a degree is useless if your unemployed!
