SUMMARY

In the discussion regarding final year subject selection for a Mechanical Engineering (MEng) degree, Sherry seeks guidance on choosing subjects relevant to the oil and gas or automobile industries. Key subjects mentioned include Advanced Forming and Fracture (AFF), Advanced Stress Analysis (ASA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While some participants suggest that employers prioritize skills over specific subjects, the consensus leans towards selecting courses that align with personal interests and perceived ease to achieve better grades.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mechanical Engineering principles
  • Familiarity with industry-specific applications in oil and gas and automobile sectors
  • Knowledge of course content related to Advanced Forming and Fracture (AFF) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  • Awareness of grading systems and their impact on career opportunities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the job market trends in the oil and gas industry
  • Explore the relevance of Advanced Control (CNTL) in automotive engineering
  • Investigate the applications of Finite Element Analysis and Applications (FEAA) in real-world projects
  • Learn about the importance of personal interest in course selection for academic success
USEFUL FOR

Students in Mechanical Engineering, career advisors, and individuals interested in aligning their academic choices with industry demands in the oil and gas and automobile sectors.

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.
