specialist course in mechanical engineering

[greekmecc]

Hello everyone, I propose this disussion to investigate a question that I am asking myself, both me and my friends: in the choice of specialist exams, in order to have an excellent work training it is better to follow courses from different directions (to have a "infarination"), or to choose one and to specialize entirely on it?
I am attending the specialist to the polytechnic of Turin, and the guidelines are: plant design, terrestrial propulsion, transport, automation, design-production; according to my professor, the mechanical engineer is perhaps the profession that requires maximum flexibility and adaptability to different sectors, so I would choose exams from different directions, but some tell me that it is better to be "masters" of a specific sector; What would you do? What choice is better than the two?

hello to all "colleges" withdrawal on this topic with the hope that those of you have already passed know how to give me a hand...
Basically they are at the first year of mechanical ing specialist and are undecided on that address to take. . .

the doubt is between Land vehicles whose purpose is " train engineers specialists in industrial commercial vehicles and
Railways. the disciplines given examine the methodologies for forecasting and simulation of
dynamic behaviour of vehicles, deepening of traction systems, studying aspects
constructive and knowledge of devices.or curriculum technologies and production processesthe curriculum aims to train mechanical engineers specialists in methodologies and tools for
design of conventional, special and automated processing processes, affecting
manufacturing products made of traditional and innovative materials. courses identified will treat disciplines
ranging from manufacturing to assembly and quality management.I press that I am a fan of motorcycles and machines so the first would be that to me more congenial despite the second resume you find it really very interesting. .

in my "analysis", if so you can call, I rated pros and cons...
in vehicles among the pros there is definitely the passion factor as well as other minor factors as a better organized time while the cons is that probably the demand of this figure is a bit in decrease...
The second curriculum, on the other hand, includes a better position in the world of work but at the same time a greater complexity (in my opinion). . .
then another question that makes me think, seeing the job ads, is usually required "only" a mechanical ing without referring to the particular resume chosen...so I wonder, it is worth "losing" more time with the mechanical curriculum when maybe for a company it makes little difference? !

When you enrolled at university you asked yourself the question "better engineering, or classic letters?"?
apart from the jokes, the two resumes really seem too different to confront them seriously.

to choose, take into account a few things:
- the "bike passion" has little to do with studying "mechanical vibrations"
- it is better to choose the course of studies that you like, so much the engineer is like the put...na now, goes to do what asks the market, not sure what he studied. at least in most cases.
- "early vehicles" may not want to send a resume to imeric terms or to ferrari races. there are many other companies and many other fields. from scania to military semoves

Finally, I strongly advise you to study a course of studies "which ensures better placement in the world of work". First of all, while you graduate, the world of work will change at least three more times. then these statements make her professors, who are notoriously outside market dynamics, especially those who have family aziendina.

Moreover, to answer the question, for the truth a little dated, of greekmec, my opinion is that having flexibility, breadth of views, a culture that spans in many fields, is the best way to go to work in a call center!

First of all, thank you for the answer now we come to the various considerations

When you enrolled at university you asked yourself the question "better engineering, or classic letters?"?
apart from the jokes, the two resumes really seem too different to confront them seriously.

of course letters and philosophy have never been taken into consideration, I have always known what my "vocation":biggrin:

to choose, take into account a few things:
- the "bike passion" has little to do with studying "mechanical vibrations"

It is obvious that my interest is not only motorcycles or motors but it is undoubted that it is more "activating" to study rubbers, suspensions, motors, brakes, differentials and also vibrations regarding plastic defs, joint technology etc. (despite the fact that it attracts me a lot)...in essence the second resume I would choose it only if it can give me real advantages regarding the first...

- it is better to choose the course of studies that you like, so much the engineer is like the put...na now, goes to do what asks the market, not sure what he studied. at least in most cases.
- "early vehicles" may not want to send a resume to imeric terms or to ferrari races. there are many other companies and many other fields. from scania to military semoves

This is exactly where I wanted to get there and where only those who are already in the world of work can help me...so you confirm that normally no one comes to ask you what is the particular curriculum chosen in the specialist. . .

Finally, I strongly advise you to study a course of studies "which ensures better placement in the world of work". First of all, while you graduate, the world of work will change at least three more times. then these statements make her professors, who are notoriously outside market dynamics, especially those who have family aziendina.

Moreover, to answer the question, for the truth a little dated, of greekmec, my opinion is that having flexibility, breadth of views, a culture that spans in many fields, is the best way to go to work in a call center!

"no" and "no" are words that no one should ever use...

I'll explain. I am a graduate of robotics and automation, and work in an automation company as a robotic engineer, researched by the company for the specific course of studies.
I believe I belong to 1% of these cases in Italy. Maybe even less.

I suggest you study whatever you like. you will have higher grades (and that counts in the resume) and allows you to go more sent. also consider that this is the last opportunity of your life to study something organically, exploit it fully until you are in time. the surplus of notions necessary for the specific work (that maybe in life you will change even more times) you acquire in a much easier way.

I did that. I chose what I liked. then I was lucky, but luck is neither discounted, nor always necessary. Maybe you go to work in a company that produces nails and opens up a new world that you like so much to stay alive. What do you know?

last advice from my little experience. in the choice of the thesis, instead, tries to do what can bring you closer to the world of work, because that is precisely the bearing that makes from junction between the two worlds.

thanks fulvio... you gave me some really useful and interesting ideas
