Standing out in the Mechanical Engineering field?

I've been introduced to a lot of mechanical engineers and none of them have done anything real spectacular like owning a business or something of that sort, they've all just worked for good companies. What should I look towards in order to be a boss in a big company or just make a lot of money...

I can't take calculus, chemistry, nor physics cause they don't teach that in 9th. The only class that I have that has to do with mechanical engineering is biology.

So I was wondering if I should study calculus over the internet or should I just study in my math class although my math class isn't calculus and study in my biology class. #mechanical-engineering #internet #math #chemistry #physics #higher-education #high-school-classes

Is knowing electronics an important part of mechanical engineering?

Hey all, I've been part of FIRST for 5 years now, 4 being in FRC, and I've been focusing more on the mechanical side of things rather than learning the electronic components. I do know the basics, but should I try to get a better understand over the course of this year?

Do you really like your job? If so, why do you and is it your true calling card? If not, why not and can you do something about it?

I'm a high school senior and my sophomore year I went to a business company and I asked the employees if they liked their jobs and if it made them happy. Not, surprisingly, some said no. What I found more puzzling was the reason that although they did not like their jobs they still kept on...

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
