The discussion highlights key cities and states for mechanical engineering graduates, focusing on the automotive and aerospace sectors. Michigan is identified as a hub for automotive manufacturing, housing the Big Three automakers: Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler, with additional plants from Toyota and Honda in states like Kentucky and Indiana. For aerospace opportunities, Washington State is noted for Boeing, while Texas, Florida, and Virginia are recognized for military aircraft production. The conversation emphasizes the importance of aligning location choices with specific engineering fields.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for mechanical engineering students, recent graduates, and professionals seeking to relocate for better job prospects in the automotive and aerospace industries.
It depends on the particular field you are interested in. The areas surrounding Philadelphia are somewhat of a mecca for pharmaceuticals and I work as an HVAC engineer supporting the pharma industry. But it isn't hot for energy, automotiv,e shipping, aerospace, etc.Connor said:I'm a 21 year old college student studying mechanical engineering. I currently live in South Carolina and I'm looking at other states to move to after graduation. I was wondering what are some good states/cities to go to for mechanical engineering?
Connor said:I meant to put that earlier. The sectors I want to work in are automotive and aerospace. I also want to work as a quant someday as well if I can.
