My Career For Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest categories of engineering. I choose it mainly because it seemed to fit my mechanical background. Also it covers such a wide subject area that it would provide plenty of job opportunities after completing my degree. My academic plan is to complete a bachelor degree for mechanic engineering and then continue into a masters for petroleum engineering. I have worked in the oilfield in the past and I find that area of study very interesting. However, having work in the oilfield I have experienced the ups and downs of work and down time this is why I want to complete my mechanical degree first to provide the most options. Next I would like to look at three different jobs within the arena of …show more content…
A technical drawing can either be a computer model or hand-drawn representation showing all the measurements vital to production of a part, as well as construction notices, an inventory of necessary materials, and additional relevant facts. A mechanical engineer generates technical drawings and is sometimes signified as a drafter or draftsman. Drafting has generally existed as a two-dimensional process, but computer-aided design (CAD) programs now permit the engineer to produce in three dimensions. Guidelines for producing a part are usually fed to the appropriate equipment, both manually, and programmed commands, or via the utilization of a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) or merged CAD and CAM programs. Also, an engineer has the option to manually produce a part utilizing the technical drawings, but this is becoming more of the exception than the rule, with the introduction of computer numerically controlled (CNC) production. Drafting is utilized in almost every sub discipline of mechanical engineering. These are just a few of the many areas of study related to mechanical engineering. As has been hopefully shown through this paper there are nearly unlimited possibilities open to those that not only chose to study mechanical engineering but engineering in general. It is excited to be learning the skills and joining a field that has such a large impact not only in the local community but around the
