For the specialty of mechanical engineering are you in the field more or is it more of a desk job?

I am curious because I love the idea of actually being able to work with my hands and be out in the field but I'm not 100% sure that being a mechanical engineer means I'd get to do that. #engineering #mechanical-engineering #mechanical-engineer

What is Mechanical Engineering in the private sector like?

What type of work is usually done by a mechanical engineer working for a company? Is it largely desk-work and modeling? Is there any product testing? How multidisciplinary is your work? Is there a problem with intellectual property between you and a company? Would you recommend staying with a company for many years riding on promotions or try to start your own business and be your own boss? #mechanical-engineering #mechanical-engineer #mechanical

How often in the real world does you major apply to your actual job? and How does a major limit the type of jobs you can have?

Many times I have met people with a major in one thing but they end up getting hired to do the complete opposite ad don't understand how they qualify for that job. #engineer #mechanical-engineer

Is it vital to have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering to pursue a graduate degree in the same fields, or is it okay to major in something like physics or applied mathematics and then switch over for grad school?

Hi! My name's Keegan and I'll be attending Tulane University in the fall. I'm interested in the automotive engineering industry and plan on completing a 3 + 2 year program where I obtain a BS in physics from Tulane in 3 years and then a BE in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins or Vanderbilt after an additional 2 years of study at either of those respective places. I'm planning on getting my Masters or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering or Automotive Engineering after my undergraduate work, and intend to move to Italy, Great Britain, or Germany to work in the hyper-car or Formula 1 industry after I've finished. I'm just apprehensive about choosing the right major that'll set me on the career path that I want. #physics #mechanical-engineer #automotive #applied-mathematics
