Engineering Advice for Mech. Eng. Grad Looking to be Landscape or Ag. Engineer

AI Thread Summary
To transition from a mechanical engineering background to a career in landscape architecture or agricultural engineering, it's essential to focus on relevant coursework and skills. For landscape architecture, developing drawing skills and an artistic sensibility is crucial, as the field requires a strong appreciation for aesthetics and design. Engaging in courses related to environmental design, horticulture, and landscape ecology can provide a solid foundation. Networking with professionals in these fields and seeking internships or volunteer opportunities can also enhance practical experience. For agricultural engineering, consider courses in soil science, irrigation systems, and sustainable agriculture practices. Gaining hands-on experience through projects or research in outdoor settings will be beneficial. Overall, leveraging existing engineering knowledge while acquiring new skills and experiences in these areas will facilitate a successful career transition.

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
