info on mechanical engineering

[giuto]

Hello everyone, I am a mechanical engineering student, browsing the internet I found this forum and I noticed that there are many competent people who could give me an indication regarding mechanical engineering.
in particular I wanted to know whether the only outlet is that of the designer or if a mechanical engineer can cover within the company more management or related to production. .
Finally, one last question (a little philosophical :d ): to become designers you have to have an innate passion/vocation or can you discover with the time we like?

known a slight loss. the impression is consolidated by reading the last question.

I would say that the figure of the engineer is intimately linked to the task of designing. I fear for you that an engineer who wants to deal with the problems of production must be ing.^3 and arrives there after having passed before by ing and ing^2

at present the figure of the engineer in Italy is worth a dry fig as all the tasks, unpaid, can do any work including pencil tempering etc.

jokes and controversy aside, if you have passion, you have formed well in university, you have also experienced on your behalf since young then you have the cards in order to make the mechanical designer.

engineering, now there is also management that is imprinted to manage departments and business processes, but in my opinion if you do not know anything about real mechanics, go to manage so you remain incompetent and you take more insults than euro.

each university has different addresses and specializations.
you can also go on oil platforms and make a lot of money. making the experts is another option. you can do a lot of things

What to say, of colleagues who are older than I know different but I see that there are many problems arising from:
- lack of constant updating of design or manufacturing techniques
- inexperience on the practical side (handling, mounting, turning, manufacturing, testing etc.)
- lack of interest when at some point we believe we have arrived.

in my little I have always done since I was a child manual work, I always had my workshop in garage... I came back, welded, I made wrought iron, gates, various extractors, disassembled and fitted motorcycles and engines with various modifications, I built fountains with mechanism simil hand pump, every work in the house is good to make experience. pii I started doing the internship for the university and in the company in place of doing the thesis I worked as a senior designer on two shifts....from 6 in the morning to 11 in the evening.... then I did some other work and planned while I was doing the warehouse, then I climbed, I was turning, welded, I was milling, I mounted mechanical and electrical and pneumatic plant, I tested. I clearly designed before manufacturing and building machines, static checks, various sizes, structures fems etc.
I am now the head of a mechanical technical office but I interface with the workshop and its problems, with the electrical, hydraulic and computer department, I manage people, project and dimension heavily machines, gearboxes, presses, molds, prototypes of all kinds. Sometimes I still test some special machines.
I must say that I am happy and enjoy myself, but it really takes experience to manage all these things. or you cut it or a disaster comes.

It's nice to see that someone thanks to his passion manages to do the job he loves, and can go home with the satisfaction of having done a good job!!!complimenti! !

mechanical engineer is very versatile, it can be used by making photocopies to design, passing through the direction of production and many other tasks (there is also who does the representative, who the managing director. ..
as they have already told you to cover some roles but an inevitable experience is necessary: For example, you can't be responsible for production if you don't know how to produce a particular product, all issues related to production, the history of orders (not to commit past mistakes...) and so on.

the problem is that today the market offers little, so you don't have much choice.
you also need to compare not only with your vocations but also with practical issues of work (type of contract work, seriousness and solidity of companies, willingness to travel or transfer...). Which is why you might find yourself doing something that you are not very enthusiastic about, but that meets the different needs.

However, the fact that a mechanical ing serves anyone (technical industry companies, plastics, energy sector...) helps you not stay on foot.

Perhaps abroad some extra occasion is there, but do not think that it is the endorado, because however they are hyperselective (=you must be very good) and assume the perfect knowledge of the language (cominciate to study it well if you are planning to pack).

It is a question that does not make a fold, in the end it is necessary to deal with the economic aspects, that unfortunately if you do not have the fortune to be born in a wealthy family I am certainly not negligible, sincerely I also took this degree to have some extra guarantee, and indeed I have it. Just talk about abroad, shortcuts in life are not there, nothing is free.
