Nice thanks

[@donharrold1375]

Speaking as a guy who has survived and thrived in industry for more than 3 decades, the key habits any engineer needs to master are: Listen and understand the requirements and objectives for the project; Understand and deliver to the required timeline - invariably this is the most important thing; Always produce high quality, accurate work - details are everything; Lastly keep learning and re-skilling. If you master these skills you won’t have a lot to worry about.

I feel like it'd be necessary to have a physical list of objectives on hand

[@linahol6067]

Summary 1. CAD (3D and 2D): Solidworks... 2. CAE : FEA and CFD 3. Manufacturing Process 4. Basic robotics 5. Engineering theory 6. GD&T 7. Fail mode and effects 9. Programming: Matlab or Python 10. Soft skills: active listening

[@aabd1994]

Thanks 🙏

[@warbydeception3228]

Bare minimum for a design ME (in addition to what you know from your degree) should be CAD and knowing Y14.5 (GD&T) front to back. If you can do those two things then you are already valuable to the majority of companies. Add skills like ANSYS, basic programming and robotics and then you are irreplaceable

[@NoSirota]

Theory should be first. You can't be good at CAE or CFD without that. SW simulatuons can't be compared with real CAE software like ansys or abaqus. According to this list, you should know everything, but obviosly you'll be below avarage at every specific skill. Of course, It's great to know basics in each direction, but you have to select 2-3 to be really good at, others Could wait.

[@JanDarkyy]

@@warbydeception3228 Can i know your age and where are you working? out of curiosity, im 26 right now (graduated mechanical engineer), wasted 2 years of my life persuing a dream and failed, so im prety old since almost all begin this journey at 23, so im trying to find my first job, i do have a 8 months internship were sadly learned nothing since it was mostly civil engineering skills.

[@warbydeception3228]

@@JanDarkyy I’m 26 too. I work as a design engineer for a small company. I had internship experience so that helped me land a job. But I’d say start applying as many places as you can pertaining to what you actually want to do and have some skill to do. Design work will include CAD modeling, GD&T, machine design considerations (recall machine design from college), and the ability to communicate with people like machinists, suppliers, the customer, etc. If you learn all that well enough then any company will want to hang on to you.

[@lgarcia67]

I’ve been in the industry for 37 years. I worked my way through college. I’ve been in multiple industries and all levels in those industries. I was a lathe operator, CNC programmer, cad designer and drafting, materias analysis, fea, cfd analyst, did oo programming in C# and Java, lately tons of business intelligence with all kind of tools, I’ve been manger and now executive. I still have my machinery’s handbook and metals black book btw. You were absolutely right on technical skills and soft skills. I would disagree in the grades and activities students do. When I am interviewing new graduates, I don’t expect them to have a ton of experience. If they do, fine and I do consider that if I see the person studying and working. But not all colleges are in a city where they can work in an industrial setting and go to school. So, normally good grades and participation correlates with quick learners, passionate and good communicator individuals. So yes, we definitely see grades in new graduates, and the better the grades the better chance you have of an interview. I do not see too much what school you went to unless we are looking for something specific that you know a school has a good program for. Otherwise I just want a driven individual who is a quick learner, self starter, good communicator, and specially respectful. So study hard, party a little less and you will be fine. Hope that helps!

One of the best video about what exactly the skill requirement for a mechanical engineer is!!!!!

[@ninadsbhatt100]

This is the best video available on the internet in this space. The entire concept of mechanical engineering got cleared.

[@ze.c9230]

Not a bad video, but the video letteral covered most of the thing a engineer need to know, even broader than the University syllabus. It's not the "best mechanical engineering skills to learn" but the all skills an mechanical engineer potencially needs to use. And most industral mechanical engineers only know and pracie a small portion of them in their daily job. Young folks do not get overwhelmed by this video. If you want to be an engineer, you will be an engineer, as long as you put in effort.

Formula Student is a great club to join, lots of engineers and recruiters I've spoken to at competitions consider it to be equivalent to having an internship especially if you've had a big involvement in component design for parts on the car. As you'll be doing virtually everything mentioned in the video from design to manufacturing assembly and documentation.

[@TxSTRIKERx]

I agree, to some recruiters it’s even more valuable than an internship because, as you said, you have to deal with almost everything mentioned in the video.

[@aphadiputra4396]

I am biased but coding really cant be understated. It sets u apart from the other ME engineers, and because we can use programming for a different field than the IT/EE crowds... this really opens you to a more niche opportunities. I once did some system design/integrator which involves verification (test benches), system controls , data integration with your company's ERP, etc. ofc I dont know how will AI change this in the future

[@karolsloboda7798]

I want to add one point under a topic Programming to know how to use macros. In my current job we use lot of macros for simplification of workflow. Many of them were designed by colleagues (mechanical engineers) who wanted to save time with specific tasks which required cycles of steps or pressing many different buttons.

[@ay4248]

Currently moving toward my 2nd year of biomedical engineering bachelor and I've noticed that my university doesn't lie heavily on to mechanical part of the major so I've decided to try and master the skills of a mechanical engineer myself. This video helped a lot as a road map, thank you!

[@Patriot1790]

As someone with 10 years in Mechanical Design and only having an Associate Degree. A lot of big companies will not hire you, or allow you to promote to the position of Engineer without a Bachelor's Degree. I do the job of a Design Engineer, but am classified as a CAD Designer. My point is, a lot of Engineers where I work don't know how to design nor design for manufacturing. Some companies are coming around to the fact that a degree doesn't hold as much weight as they once thought.

[@jeankabumbu7633]

So do you think it’s possible to get a job as a design engineer without a degree as long as you know what to do? (Self taught).

[@C3DPropShop]

​@jeankabumbu7633 I dont know how common this is, but I worked production and applied to and got a job as a Design Engineer at my current place. I have previous pressbrake operating/programming, assembly supervision, automation supervision and CNC programming (turret punch/laser cutting) under my belt with a heavy splash of additive manufacturing. So, maybe I just got really lucky, but its happened at least once. Oh, I dont have any schooling either. 😅

[@RB_Musik]

I mean as long as you can get into a.company the sky is the limit to progress further into it. Most companies prefer to promote than to hire. I am also a cad designer for more than a decade but I have way more skills other than CAD.

[@Patriot1790]

Your company actually saw value in your experience. My company is the opposite.

[@callyekeen]

I will hire people with experience versus a degree any day of the week. We have to actually design and build things.

[@metalgearfan9802]

One thing that's super useful to learn as both a quality and product/design engineer is how to program a measurement plan on a CMM. It's a great skill to have if you have access to CMM's at your job and it really puts your GD&T knowledge to the test. Because you have to truly understand everything on a print to set it up properly. You have to understand what it means when you see that U modifier symbol on a profile tolerance and know that it means to offset the boundary of your profile tolerance in that direction or set it up to have the zone in one direction.

Because of my technical skills, I think I am very good in it. If anyone reading this comment, please learn English and improve your communication skills. Because engineering drawing not going to help you, they engineering drawing is the communication language for Engineer, it is . 😂😂 But your HR don't care how good you are in this.

Great list! To set yourself apart and improve chances of getting a senior engineer job, getting a Masters degree to obtain advanced engineering and design skills can help. The masters can even in a adjacent field like electrical, aerospace, software, physics, material science, or systems. There are some interesting careers to be had when combining mechanical with those other fields. If your first employer will pay for your degree, even better.
