I'm currently doing my A-levels and I think it's about time I make my mind up on what to pursue for my futureI like maths and physics and I'm pretty good at them tooI've always thought of being a mechanical engineer as it is a very diverse field and getting employed won't be too difficult as a resultHowever, recently I've been searching it up and I don't think I want to design and test industrial machines for a livingWhat other main tasks do mechanical engineers carry out on a regular basis?Lately, I've also been researching structural engineeringI love the idea of designing bridges and then watching it being built at real scale! Sounds very interestingThis is the sort of work I would like to doHowever, my main question is, will I be able to get a job after I graduate from university with a structural engineering degree quickly?
yes you can and it is verry decent.i use them verry often,,,to me they or better than wood,good luck and keep feecing the squirls.
As stated earlier, mechanical engineering is much more than industrial machine designHere are some examples of mechanical engineers' work: Micro-electro-mechanical devices: Electronic chips that use micrometer scale mechanical components for measurements or other purposesAccelerometers used in smart phones are an exampleRobotics: Anything from a roomba to the Mars rover Curiosity to the quadrotor helicopters on youtube require mechanical engineers to design themAerospace: Anything that goes up: rockets, airplanes, helicopters, gliders, balloons, you name itEnergy: All large scale electricity generation will require some amount of mechanical engineering, but especially projects like hydroelectric dams, coal and natural gas plants, and wind turbinesTransportation: cars, trains, ships, submarines, bicycles, unicycles Research: Academic research into fluid dynamics, heat transfer, passive dynamics, flight, and much, much more fall under mechanical engineeringAND MORE! (Some say mechanical engineering is the broadest engineering discipline) Both majors are awesome though! Keep up the research, and pick the one that holds more of your interest.
