Things that a mechanical engineer must know for sure

AI Thread Summary
To verify a mechanical engineer's credentials, it's essential to request a resume with references, as confirming their degree is straightforward. Determining if someone is a good engineer is more complex and often cannot be assessed through interviews alone. Engaging in discussions with engineers can reveal their expertise and thought processes. The conversation also touches on the notion that a degree alone does not define an engineer; it's the engineering mindset that matters. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of credentials and the nuanced nature of evaluating engineering proficiency.

suppose someone claims that he's a mechanical engineer who you make sure that he really is, or rather he's a good one?

Whether a person is a degreed engineer is relatively easy to find out. Like Russ said, get a resume that states where they graduated from and check. The question of whether they are a good engineer or not is tough and may not be answerable with interview questioning.
 
can i see your resumes then? with references pleaze!

How's this for an answer: NO :rolleyes:

Ask a specific question and you'll get many informed and knowledgeable answers. There are many industry professionals on this site that make sure no one is giving bad info.

HAHA... This is Hilarious!:smile:
 
i don't think that just having a major degree in mechanical engineering means that you are one. and not only mechanical engineering, i m talking of all sorts of engineering, be it civil, electrical or electronics. its an engineering mind that makes an engineer.
and about spotting the difference, you just need to talk to them. anyone can tell here that Mr. Fredgarvin is a far more better engineer than most of us
 
If you're trying to butter me up...it's working.

There are a bunch of very good engineers on this board.

Apparently, ank_gl is working on his social engineering. A field that the OP might study a bit more. :wink:

nah not any social engineering. and sorry for including names. its just that he helped me once, that's why i said so. sorry if you don't like it

Ank...we're just joking around. No worries.

I think I should need to have such a degree in social engineering as well.

I have heard that this degree MSE - can be something rather expeceve to obtain.

Does anybody know a web based university or something where the Master of Social Engineering can be obtained for some slightly less amount of money ?
