thesis ing mechanics

[predatore]

Good evening to all,
I open this discussion to ask for advice to those who have a lot more experience than I can get some impressions. by now at the end of my academic journey, I find myself having to support the so much agonized thesis.
the professor to whom I addressed made me two very interesting proposals, both in the field of sailing boats (which I personally do not know at all):
- a thesis in design a little more "classic", in which you have to draw to the cad, choose materials (also composites) and carry out fem calculations. In particular, the greatest obstacles are to be able to identify as best as possible the force agents (both external and internal) and the complex geometries that the piece could assume.
- thesis in pure dynamics, a kind of multibody model of a sailboat (to be realized in collaboration with a company).

My doubts are basically in which of the two sectors go to specialize me: dynamic or mechanical design. in your opinion the mechanical design is "dead"?? I feel so many colleagues who have graduates who tell me that designers are mistreated and unpaid, while in the dynamic world I have practically no information because at work I don't know anyone.

(I like both aspects, which is why I struggle to make a final decision)

I just want opinions, thank you for your attention!

the world of work is different from the academic one.
do the thesis you like and then evaluate. If you have a company that offers you a task, go but don't expect great things.
when I did the thesis, I simulated a numerical model in non-stationary fluiddynamic regime: It was only helpful for those who graduated after me! ;-)
I have no longer done numerical fluid dynamics because it is a few!
in reality we also make calculations but often we make a maximum sizing and then we go of experience! only structured companies can afford costs for simulations but the market is made by the small and medium enterprise where many new things are invented without too many calculations: This is reality!
Hi.

I fully agree. do the thesis you like right now.
in the world of work everything is different.
I'm a mechanical designer who's the head of the technical office, and I'm working with a few people. in the industrial field of process plants in the iron and steel field is worked as damned...and there are those who design the machines, gears, who makes fem to the carpenters, who makes cfd on intake plants to medium/high degree of vacuum to raise tons of iron....for now I am doing all according to the plants to develop.
So we don't say crap about the dead branches... the crisis... it's just losers who don't know and have not been able to organize... otherwise they wouldn't sell iron and steel plants... of car hoods make it a lot.... new and strange materials....the cars drive them all.... what do you want me to stop?

the Italian market automatic machines and packaging is in good state

I repeat what others have told you: do what you like, the thesis can be one of the last occasions to do it really, and you don't absolutely preclude anything in the world of work (the experience you do then anyway on the field, regardless of the thesis).
It's clear that if the company you're doing with is going to continue investing in that project you might have an extra motivation: However, in my experience, we often go further after a short time
if you are passionate about structural calculations and (fluid)dynamics, these can make a fundamental contribution in certain even medium/small companies that, however, take care of machines of a certain type: However, you must often develop them out of work hours and initially "for free", as in the office the time will be dedicated to other. Maybe then someone will recognize you (and above all, you can really understand how things work)!
