AI Thread Summary
Choosing subjects for a final year in mechanical engineering should align with personal interests and career goals, particularly in the oil and gas or automobile industries. While some believe employers prioritize skills over specific subjects, selecting courses like Computational Fluid Dynamics or Finite Element Analysis may enhance employability in these fields. It is also suggested that students focus on subjects they find enjoyable or manageable to achieve better grades. Ultimately, the decision should balance passion with practical considerations for future job prospects. Selecting the right subjects can contribute to both personal satisfaction and career readiness.

Hi there,
First post on this forum. I'm deciding which subjects to choose for my final year in mechanical eng (MEng) and need some advice regarding which subjects to choose from the list given below. Please note that I'm interested in pursuing a career either in oil n gas industry or the automobile industry so i'd like any help to consider what subjects employers in the respective fields might prefer. Now I've also heard that employers don't actually care abt wt subjects u take and if that's the case then can I pls know which subjects might be best suited for the repective fields so that I can actually benefit from having chosen them once I'm employed!
Advanced Forming and Fracture (AFF)
Advanced Stress Analysis (ASA)
Advanced Control (CNTL )
Advanced Vibration Engineering (AVE)
Combustion (CMB)
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Finite Element Analysis and Applications (FEAA)
Interfacing and Data Processing (NDP)

Thank you,
Sherry

It really doesn't matter what you take as there are jobs for every single skill set out there.

The most sound advice you can get is: Do what you enjoy.
The pragmatic advice is: If you need some good marks (to get a higher classification or whatever), do something you think is easy.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
