Scope of mechanical engineering?

Hi

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It is often called the Mother Branch of engineering as several newer branches of engineering has sprouted out from this branch. Every man made object we see around us is one way or the other the product of mechanical engineering. Now mechanical engineering has three main parts namely design , manufacturing and thermal engineering. On studying mechanical engineering for Bachelors , you will be studying these three aspects in detail and in depth.

Now several sub branches have sprouted out from mechanical engineering which can be opted for specialization if one wishes to study for masters . The following specializations can be considered . They are as follows :-

• Product design engineering
• Manufacturing engineering
• Thermal engineering
• Aerospace engineering
• Aeronautical engineering
• Automobile engineering
• Mining engineering
• Petroleum engineering
• Robotics engineering
• Engineering management

These were some of the options , that one can consider when opting for masters after a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Now coming to the career options that are available to one in mechanical engineering are various mechanical industries like automobile, aerospace  and other heavy to light weight  machinery companies . One can also get job opportunities in thermal , hydroelectric and nuclear power plants. Mechanical engineers can also go into the product design and analysis sector like in industrial and CAD/CAM design of products. There are lots of opportunities available in both the private as well as government sectors. There are also a huge scope for mechanical engineers to get into research and development in various industries and research facilities . Mechanical engineers can also take up teaching roles in Universities or can go into management roles as well by doing an MBA after a degree in mechanical engineering.

So as we can see that the opportunities for a mechanical engineering is huge. One just needs to pick up the career option that interests one as mechanical engineering is one such branch which would never go obsolete and would stay evergreen forever. I hope I have been able to answer your query and my best wishes to you for your future.

Thanks

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branch of engineering. It is associated with creating and designing mechanical devices. There is a lot of demand of mechanical engineers in India and abroad. They can work in automobile and all the other mechanical industries. Some of the industries are-

• aerospace industry

• construction industry

• chemical industry

• defence industry

• electronic industry

hope this is helful to ypu.
