Engineering If you are an irrigation engineer ,tell me a little about your work please

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the intersection of mechanical engineering and agriculture, particularly in irrigation. Participants share their educational backgrounds, emphasizing degrees in mechanical engineering and related fields. A typical day involves hands-on work with irrigation systems, including the management of various plants and trees. For aspiring professionals in agriculture, particularly mechanical engineering students, advice includes exploring opportunities with companies that manufacture irrigation equipment, such as Valley Irrigation, as well as larger agricultural firms like John Deere and CNH. It is noted that designing irrigation canals may align more closely with civil engineering than mechanical engineering, highlighting the diverse career paths within the agricultural sector.

I've been working for a landscaper, and we call them the "irritation guys"
 
You might look into firms like http://www.valleyirrigation.com/home.aspx that manufacture irrigation equipment. Or more general agricultural equipment companies such as John Deere, CNH, etc. They hire mechanical engineers.

Actually designing irrigation canals and the like seems more like civil engineering to me.
 

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...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
