Hi
If anyone has job prospect info, statistics or anything about these, please tell. Thanks a lot

Energy and Fluid Systems
Manufacturing and Dynamic Systems
Materials Engineering
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Or any other field of research in mechanical engineering
 
I'm not sure what you're asking for (particularly with the "or anything"). There's a lot of research being done in a lot of areas. I particularly pay attention to:
  • control systems, particularly UAVs
  • biomechanics (spinal disk replacement, prosthetics, etc)
  • haptic/human-computer interfaces
  • design optimization and optimization techniques
  • numerical analysis/techniques for computer-aided engineering
  • manufacturing processes, particularly in carbon-fiber composites
There's a lot more than this going on all over mechanical engineering, but these are my favorites to watch for.

Do you know where I can find information on job prospects, how many students are taking each?
 
Sorry, there you're on your own. Google is your friend.

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
