Can you give me some advice about what I can do to be distinct in my university major "Mechanical Engineering"
thank you
thank you
Are you at university yet? What year are you in your studies?Ali sulieman said:in my university major "Mechanical Engineering"
In fact, I am seeking the true competence of an engineer in terms of his ability to work in a team and being able to understand the topics of specialization in an excellent manner, so that I want to be qualified to work in companies, knowing that I can pay for courses and seminars and take many courses.phinds said:Define "distinct" --- that is, what does it mean to you? HOW do you want to be distinct? You could just wear a yellow beanie and that would make you distinct, in the normal meaning of that word, but I doubt that that is what you are after.
Yes, I am in university and I am still in my first year, so I will startberkeman said:Are you at university yet? What year are you in your studies?

From my perspective, the only reason to take an accounting or finance class would be to help you in managing your money once you start working. I don't think they would be directly applicable to working as an ME.Ali sulieman said:But I have another simple question: What about accounting, management, finance, and marketing courses? That is, what can be useful in the field of mechanical engineering, because I hear about these courses a lot.
If you want to own your own business then you will need, accounting, finance, marketing, management courses. If you work for someone else you can take those classes later if needed. If your the boss you hire people to do, accounting, marketing, etc but its also good to know how to do those jobs so you know the people you hire are doing a good job.Ali sulieman said:Well actually I liked all of your advice and I will take them seriously as they were excellent ideas
But I have another simple question: What about accounting, management, finance, and marketing courses? That is, what can be useful in the field of mechanical engineering, because I hear about these courses a lot.Knowing that I have taken into consideration the issue of bifurcation in knowledge, I would like to inquire about these courses specifically.
thanks a lot.....
You are getting prepared to do a huge range of technical work, even to take jobs that do not exist yet.Ali sulieman said:In fact, I am seeking the true competence of an engineer in terms of his ability to work in a team and being able to understand the topics of specialization in an excellent manner, so that I want to be qualified to work in companies, knowing that I can pay for courses and seminars and take many courses.
Even if you can add, there is no objection
That is all which is important, GENERALLY.berkeman said:The main advice I would give (in addition to studying hard and doing well in your classes) is to get some experience early with designing and building things.
One must concentrate, and focus on the main goal of "Engineering" or whatever your chosen field is to be. With that, learning from a variety of other fields and related fields can be useful; or in some cases very useful.Ali sulieman said:Well actually I liked all of your advice and I will take them seriously as they were excellent ideas

Hard to say. Many people may earn a degree in Accounting, and become employed to help account at a company for INVENTORY purposes.berkeman said:From my perspective, the only reason to take an accounting or finance class would be to help you in managing your money once you start working.

This may make sense early in your career. After that, not so much IMO. I would be wary of hiring someone with 25 years in and 8 or 10 different employers.gary350 said:Stay at each job 2 or 3 years to get different experience.
Yes, engineering programs are challenging. And you'll find that unlike high school, you're in a class full of people who have already excelled in math, physics and other technical subjects and the professors will tend to teach to the abilities of the leading students. Here are some general tips on how to deal with this.Ali sulieman said:What should I do?
Being distinct in your university major of Mechanical Engineering can set you apart from other students and make you more competitive in the job market. It can also help you stand out to potential employers and increase your chances of getting internships or research opportunities.
