mechanical engineering for a computer

[Informatico]

Hi.
I am a computer expert, always attracted by programming and in fact of that I have always been interested.
Now I want to change everything, I don't think it's the right way to go and explain it below:

Mechanical engineering: more work, higher pay (very likely) , versatility, passion .
computer engineering : passion

you immediately see that mechanics would be the best choice for various reasons.
more work : in computer science, especially in Italy, we are badly put, in mechanics the situation is definitely better and far.
versatility : a mechanical engineer I think can do a lot more things, energy, design, a computer engineer little more for what he studied according to me, even if I saw exceptions.
higher pay : in Italy very likely but I don't care now.
passion : design I like, I followed for a while a mechanical engineer who designs for a big company and I must say that I liked too much, even if it is as a child that I have the passion for mechanics, not only motors and cars but also realizations of structures etc ...

the report is this, as it is said in our field, a computer engineer hungers in Italy, unfortunately I have seen it really hunger, now that there are also well put ones I do not exclude it, but they are very few those who succeed, really an aesthetic minority ...
This is why I want to change and choose mechanical engineering, but here I have a number of doubts:

1) I don't know anything about physics
2) I don't know anything about chemistry
3) I don't know anything about drawing
4) I don't know anything about mechanics, I don't even know what it is about


I know that no one is born learned but for me that I do not know these subjects could be very difficult to attend mechanical engineering?
in September I have the admission test, after I have to choose ... I am studying physics and chemistry and I have to say that it is fantastic to understand those things, but I do not in time to finish all the program that is on the Alpha test .

I know that in mathematics they take for granted many things but I don't care math, the problem is physics and chemistry.
Unfortunately at the moment I know little and nothing about it, I do not want that with these courses they take for granted many things as to mathematics...

computer engineering : passion

Of course.
the IT earns much more, see harold finch!

apart from jokes, if you want to earn the right do not do engineering, or at least not in Italy. If you like mechanics, study it, then for work you will see.

I didn't want to make a salary speech just to avoid talking about it, more than anything else I wanted to say that there is much more work for mechanical engineers, this definitely.
I'd like to know if it could be very difficult for mechanical materials.
I know that you have to study and I will do it with great happiness, but I do not want to make the choice too difficult here .
I don't even know what the mechanics or construction science course will do for example .

I would not like to demoralize you but also in Italy the metalmechanical sector has suffered a lot and perhaps more than others of the economic crisis that has continued to last for at least 5 years
if there is a sector where a person with talent can get great results even economic is just the computer science
However the advice I give you is to study what you like possibly abroad

computer science or mechanics little changes. if you are an engineer there are two categories:

1) you have the skills and the grind and steps the world
2) adapt to mediocrity and the skills you have are little more than those of an expert

after that if you are of the first category you have the possibility:

1) to find who does not understand anything as a employer, exploits you, pays you less than a worker and you will never do your profession
2) to find who understands, pays you the right, allows you to make career and demonstrate how much you value


in Italy and in the world it always works so... or you have the ass to make it if you really go... or if you're a fool maybe you're lucky enough to find someone who pays you but you don't even know what you're doing.

If you are a polyhedra, you know more things and you are able to apply everything anywhere you have more ease in finding work and especially a job that will suit you.
the thing that makes me nervous is that everyone complains that Italy goes wrong, does not form, there is no work etc. but the serious thing is that no one remains in Italy to do something positive for their country, their families etc. going abroad helps to make new experiences but is not the panacea of everything. and then let's save the Italian brains.... if there's ever anyone else.

other thing I can tell you is that absurdly, in the energy sector if you know how to sell yourself well and organize yourself well you get easily to monthly salaries of 10000 euros and higher. ...what in metalmechanical to be executive arrives at 5000 euros after several years

you say it because you are of the world of mechanics but trusted, a computer would say what I said about the hunger salaries, and by hunger I mean 800-1000 euros (also for engineers) per month if everything goes well, I add that you are lucky to have the salary or that you perceive it veryoo late ... unfortunately the Italian IT must do the accounts with the foreign ones, that know the English better than us to say,
Therefore our poor professionalism on the outside is known, always taking into account that all the technological things that turn in Italy are not ours, in mechanics for example the scenario is very different, leaving the Italian economic situation temporarily remain ... (then there are always exceptions ) .


@meccanicamg
I wish I could do something for Italy, as well as many others, but if it does not do who drives the country, how do we do it in 4 cats? It is true that a crew of people united Italy, but it was an Italian with a number of lower people, which is less ignorant ...
regarding the energy sector, I will take that specialist, for this I chose mechanics, otherwise the course of design I would not have chosen it, not because I do not like it but because it could be a world too new, however the energy has always aroused a lot of curiosity and my goal is that.
If you choose design as a specialist, I will definitely not be sorry .

Back to the initial speech, you who say, I could find myself too dismissed not knowing physics and chemistry?

if you apply you will have no problem because courses at university cover all topics starting from basic notions
Sure if you already have knowledge of physics and chemistry of course you are facilitated
the problem of the matter in my opinion is not this, but
I imagine that if you studied computer science you will be passionate about this subject, and you also have good knowledge in the field
then my question is why to throw all these knowledge to start a course of studies that you believe, will not give you better chances of what can give you computer and programming in general
I speak of programming and not simply of computer science because there is no device that is not programmable
from car stations to washing machines to industrial machinery, medical equipment, consumer electronics industry etc.
the world of plc for example is an immense universe in which if you are competent you can make an excellent career
I would evaluate the situation well in your place, continuing in the IT/programming sector and perhaps focusing on embedded systems and programming in industrial areas
but above all I repeat, run abroad until you are young!!! Italy is now not a ship that is sinking, but has already sunk for half at least! Not to mention that things can improve here will never improve anything.
and to those who continue with the story of engaging in Italy etc...I can only say that now it is time that the state begins to do something for its citizens and not only to ask

 

[Informatico]

In fact, what brakes me is to throw in the wind of the knowledge acquired in years, programming alone for various systems and with various programming languages .
is really in nightmare these days, thinking about the end in mechanics I would go to do something that I like to do, but totally from scratch, that is I don't even know how to set myself and according to me I would be like those students of computer engineering or computer science that maybe they never lit the pc to compile a line of code, at most a general use like facebook and what else.

I have spoken to these people, with all the good will they have, unfortunately they are very far from the IT sector, that is, they do not understand the environment, I do not know if I explain ... this because the approach has been too fast, no offense for them obviously, but I have noticed it in the IT sector because I know ...

I am afraid to find myself in the same situation choosing mechanics, here is the problem, for lack of experience ...
Unfortunately, I don't know if the IT industry is going to be well, that is, if there are employment outlets in the coming years.
the only thing I'm sure of is that the IT industry in Italy never left, that's what I know.
so taking the computer path would mean packing as soon as I took the degree ...



p.s.
to go a bit ' ot, Italy has fallen and the IT sector will never see light, for this reason I came in mind mechanics, an extra possibility in this country ...
in fact it is time that they did something, for example to see how ever the quirinale cost 330 million euros in 2012 seems to me, it would be a start to make him move from that armchair ...

If we always think that the problem is in someone else and not in us.... It's better that we all trust. If we become aware that first we all have to do well, then we could also afford to overturn the government. but if we fail first, we cannot expect others to be better than us.

if in a small company all or the majority fights and does its duty you have that the company is fine. if the company has an induced of other subcontractors where it works the same thing you have that a slice of territory or industry produces and does not stop. If all this is extended to the country and no one steals or does the smart....it has the extension of the previous concept and we are all fine.

Since this is impossible we think to make our little one go well... as long as there are intelligent people

Hi, I've done mechanical engineering as well. . .

I have not read all the discussion, but from what I can tell you the first year of engineering is equal to all, so whatever engineer you want to become anyway I should collide with the same subjects, such as analysis, physics that however made at university level are all another thing, even the mechanical experts I know had difficulties, the subjects of the address begin to the second year, so if you think that mechanical can be your way you go quiet, the important passion is to put us

 

[Informatico]

thanks for the answers of previous users, some things had not come to mind, although this will hardly remove me as a mechanical choice.
@giacomo160790
I'm curious to know how you find yourself, I wrote you in pvt, even if I'm realizing that the characterizing materials are taught from scratch, then obviously there is always that professor who thinks we are already experts, but this is another story .
