mechanical engineering

[giuto]

Hello everyone, I'm a fifth grade student and I wanted to ask you a tip on the faculty of mechanical engineering.. I have sailed a little on the forum and I hope that among you there is someone who knows how to give me satisfactory answers
here is the doubt: to enroll in mechanical engineering you need to be fans of motors and vehicles (car motorcycle etc)? is the main outlet of this faculty?
I ask you this question because I know many people who write here because they love these topics. . so I wanted to better understand which sectors actually work a mechanical engineer.
thanks in advance for availability.

I give you a brief explanation of the field of mechanical engineering[...]Mechanical engineering, as the name itself says, concentrates its area of interest inmechanical field. the study programme, in addition to the most or less common materials to all engineers, includes construction examinations of machines, construction of industrial plants, mechanical technologies, study of materials. all subjects related to the historical figure of the engineer, the one that sees the engineer in the grips with the design design design design e la verification of mechanical systems.[...] da this websitethe term machine should not be understood as synonymous with cars, although it is in colloquial use. even a lathe or a chariot is a car. so you can be ignorant of engines and gums.

first of all thanks for the answer.
So, in summary, what are the machines that design a mechanical engineer besides vehicles? sorry for ignorance but I am not practical in this sector and I am curious to know more. .

Hello everyone, I'm a fifth higher student

if you are still a student, besides fifth superior, the engineering title is at least premature.
If you're an engineer and you don't know what work your degree of study has prepared you to perform, you've thrown away years of university.
that of machines is just one of the fields that can carry out an engineer.

 

[giuto]

I don't care about the engineering title since I'm not.. I simply wanted to know more about this degree program. .
p.s. I wrote engineer as a profession because he was asked and I did not know what to put on us

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

if you write engineer as profession users will consider you such and give you answers that presuppose certain knowledge.

if you study your profession is student.

 

[giuto]

I changed, but I wait for answers

a mechanical engineer designs "machines and plants" as:
- presses
- machine tools
- automation and assembly machines
- pakaging machines
- food and beverage distributors machines
- machines that molano or construct springs or other objects
- machines that process materials and strips and metal rolls (cesories, aspo, pinchroll, rolling mills etc.)
- warehouse and robot

everything you can build.

who puts himself in mind to make cars and motorcycles or is really good and passionate and lucky or takes on those delusions and big singing like houses.

I would also add the whole world of "hot mechanics", so:

- fluid machines in general (internal combustion engines, compressors, turbines... );
- heat exchangers of each shape and size;
- steam generators;
-...

and all the equipment in which these machines are typically inserted (petrolifero/petrolchemical, power generation, food. . ).

This is a rather specialized sector: there are many fewer companies that do these things, and the processes that take place in some of these machines are not in general within the reach of professional figures of "unloaded culture" (pass me the term), with an approach based solely on empirism. ergo, a highly trained and passionate technician has less competition than in other fields, and I think it has more opportunity to put to fruit than studied. the sector is usually "rich" and does not know prolonged crises, since we are still talking about products that meet absolutely primary needs of man (electricity, heating, transport, food). However, we must also be prepared to go far, even if there is no shortage of world excellence here.

First of all I thank everyone for the answers.. the idea of designing a machine, understood as something useful to meet industrial needs I like. However, I am not passionate about motors and cars like my companions, so this keeps me a little bit in the choice. However I have seen the study plan of mechanical engineering and it seems there is a lot of mathematics/physics and their applications, which is not bad since they succeed me as subjects
I think about it. the only fear is to find me in an environment of fans of things that I do not care about (motors, cars etc.)

 

[meccanicamg]

I also had more of my colleagues who thought they were going to work for the big cars... at the end only one who works in brembo and one in red bull. all the others have done other

I study polimi, here are two student groups such as the dynamis that realizes cars for the sae formula and the pmf that realizes motion for the motostudent. Of course, it is reductive that the only two extra-academic working groups in the mechanical field are car and motorcycle, but they are the only way to combine engineering and sport, giving the boys the opportunity to try what they study on something engaging (of course more than a 5-axis mill ). Moreover, to carry out these projects you come into contact with companies and indirect experience I assure you that this helps you find work. the juice of the speech is that you understand of motors is not important because you will know many more aspects of engineering in your course of studies, but surely if besides the study you want to experience, at university level, the field of motors is what "tira" more.

 

[giuto]

Thanks for the information.. for example I like the idea of designing a useful machine for the industry than a racing bike, I will be strange
However thanks again some advice, this is really a nice forum

 

[Stan9411]

the necessary transversal knowledge (technical drawing, materials science, mechanical processing, dimensional calculations ) will have to have them both in the future and in the future. the problem is that you will hardly realize a machine at the university materially, at the most you will make projects in which you simulate everything on paper and pc. the design experience of a kart or a small bike instead is now spreading in all the major universities of engineering, because it turns out as sports activity as well as training and I imagine that universities benefit in terms of image and subsidies

 

[meccanicamg]

I have always had the fortune that since the age of adolescence I then made my workshop in the garage, I bought myself lathe, drill column, welder, compressor, manual tools and I could not have fun in various fields:
- electrical plants and various industrial squares
- turned pieces of various kinds and construction equipment such as extractors for flyers and similar
- gates, tables, frames, welded flowers, wrought and twisted iron
- motion and motor processing, piston and carburetors modifications, modifications to pots
then in the spare time I could do:
- PC service, assembly and maintenance
- courses per pc
- management and configuration of servers and websites

In short, if one wants to bang and can have some money and space can do well on what he best believes in the engineering field, alone or in company.
if you do practice you have more knowledge of cause also in work.
