Is Mechanical Engineering still worth studying?

Through this video I wish to address some fundamental questions that students have regarding career within Mechanical Engineering. Many a time, students have some wrong notions regarding the prospects in this field. I hope to dispel some of these wrong notions.
Students also have some questions:
Whether a career in Mechanical Engineering can lead to high paying jobs?
Whether a career in Mechanical Engineering can allow for the creative application of their knowledge and talents?
What kind of career growth can they expect?
I try to answer these questions in a broad way.

​@Prof_JC How to learn to become a true engineer ? I am an engineering student currently studying at a government university in srilanka. Now I am feeling like I can't become a true engineer. Because I am not a top level student with high iq. I am an average or slightly above average student. The reason why I am feeling like this is because I have to put a lot of work to understand and learn mathematics and physics. If I can't learn those subject deeply , and fast how can I apply them fluently in real life. Even though I don't have any other choices to take. I have to study it. Is there any way to learn to think like an engineer , I want to learn and understand engineering subjects so deeply and I should be able to use it fluently. Can you guide me

@@jayantsingh3078 it's not over and you know what most people are just ignorant about it. There are areas like turbo machinary, combustion, turbulence etc. That seems to be well established, but they have not even been skimmed from the surface. There are fracture mechanics, continuum mechanics etc. which are very very difficult to understand. If you master some of these areas, you'll be an engineer in demand. But again the path to this is tough. You'll start your true career when computer science guys will be planning for retirement. But that's how mechanical is, you have to work very hard for little return. Probably in future mechanical engineers will be paid well for their work, but that is possible only when some us mechanical engineers change the system.

Right now I am 0 gate preparation level. I wish to pursue a masters degree from IIT Bombay (30 min away from my home and frequently ill parents). I have a practical responsibility of supporting my parents as soon as possible (probably within 3-4 years). I consider myself patient with studies and research but have lacked in discipline as well as practical resource like career guidance and money). I chose mechanical engineering because I was good at physics and maths, and no doubt I have enjoyed the core Mech subjects. But gradually I became fascinated with computer science as well, not only its career prospects but also technicalies. So right now I feel like I am equally interested in both. Although keeping in mind the current job scenario and my responsibility to support my parents fully in 3-4 years, I am confused which should prepare for, Gate ME or Gate CSE? I would be really thankful if you could provide some direction and pointers to me to decide. I am stuck in overthinking.

I understand and appreciate the real picture you have put up here. And, it is correct. As far as I understand, many companies implement things which are passed on to them from R&D divisions elsewhere. There are maybe only a handful of very big companies which have proper R&D divisions in India with proper Mechanical Engineering graduates (Masters and PhDs) working there. And, a lot of it is indeed simulation work. Materials Science is an immensely active field and certainly there is immense potential for innovation there too.

Sorry about not replying earlier. With your GATE rank, do you have some idea of the kind of institutes you will probably get? (I am not familiar with the GATE rank vs Institute trends). If you are not interested in PhD, then surely you are looking to get a job as soon as you complete your Masters. Doing your Masters in an Interdisciplinary program can certainly give you an edge. But at the same time, before joining, you should try to find out the placement statistics of the Department/Institute that you would be joining for such a program. We have to keep in mind long-term potential vs the immediate need for a job after the degree.

[@omprakashkaruppiah]

Sir In IIT Madras mechanic or Eng design which is better... Pls give ur suggestions.

[@adityaraj8288]

Definitely not worth it in anything below IITs imo

[@Cpt.PriceTF141]

Now a days people take CSE to just earn money not to learn anything

[@motive9789]

But the thing is ... salary...you can't survive 30-40k salary....i know it is a good branch ....

[@080allanthomas5]

Do you get even that much?

[@aritrabhattacharya1530]

Professor ,It is a new India.. if he is good if IIT standard ranking in top 5000 he wants good money. it is not like before that only businessman will enjoy life and engineer will have a scooter and a annual visit to Rajasthan or Himachal. now Dil mange more. very good change

[@ABCD-zr9yf]

Sir, Your analysis very natural and actual , I think. I want a Review of IIT Patna 3 Years BSc. in Computer Science & Data Analytics course in Hybrid teaching system. Saptarshi Saha.

[@Zeon-0]

Will mechanical engineering be useful after 4years FROM A COLLEGE THAT IS NOT IIT, NIIT or BIITS ??

[@user-hn9fy5sh9o]

Please tell

[@akashuday7107]

hi uhm im in my 4th year mechanical from a tier 3 college from what i get is (Im not 100% sure pls don't hate) its diminishing bad even the teachers used to work in dustries have come to teach there now because the industry was collapsing .We hardly get placements as well

[@RealGigaMind]

No. They don't hire BTech guys, because they ask more money. They hire diploma guys. Also, everyone expects you to be an experienced guy with salary expectation of an apprentice.

[@jaggasingh6271]

Which is difficult mechanical or computer science

[@RealGigaMind]

Mechanical. More syllabus, less jobs, less payment, less social life.

[@rahulsinghmahar9480]

Sir am average student but from my childhood i was always into engeneering... My father is from Army... Sir am not into software part... That's why i never took CSE in my 11th and 12th... More into things which u can touch and do something creative am really into it.. But confused whether to take mechanical or electrical branch... Rockets and missiles and engines really fascinates me .. I can love alone being a mechanics in a shop for whole life... It would be great uf you can give me any advise ... It would be great help sir

[@debojyotikundu4742]

Sir i am getting mechanical engineering in Jadavpur University...is it worth taking?

[@Prof_JC]

Mechanical at JU is very, very good.

[@i.am.harsh.]

Meachincal Engineering is a Dead End.

[@thimmatalwar6576]

Boss if you have more than abundance to eat in your food regime, naturally they discard you....Let them suffer with deficiency may breed....

[@oreocremeshake]

Sir your glasses are acting weird

[@ms01991]

As an experience person, please.dont work on mechanical It's bullshit wrt to career No updation only conventional All credits will be taken by electrical and electronics Mechanical = Bikari ###

[@latinoingenieria3038]

In a Quick recap, it is better to study computer science than mechanical engineering. If you want to make something creative with your knowledge. unless you want to end up in administrative jobs as mechanical engineer

[@Prof_JC]

That is absolutely NOT the recap of this video.

[@actorvijayofficial_68]

​@Prof_JC 😂

[@brissance]

Mechanical rests world rusts internet quote.

[@RealGigaMind]

Sirf kehne ki baat hai

[@MrSuperpdr]

with all due respect sir , Mechanical engineering is not a worth of option in India . The work phenomenon ,the culture , and the prospect are diminishing here . if you want to pursue the academics then it is good . All the talk of interest and passion wane up .Practically , there is no scope in job , marriage or dating zone back here . We cant just live off the interest . When you see the people of IT and computer earning leaps and bounds adn visiting the foreign more often then you would question was it worth ? . you will earn money out of experience but what if i give money to a 99 year old person who was all beggar throughout his prime . Many of the people move towards IT where they earn easy money and enjoy all the perks of the european standards .

[@MrSuperpdr]

I have not seen the US europe standards of mechanical engg so cant comment but through my friends i hear that atleast they enjoy the work that is demanding and innovative rather than back in india where they were just punching two times and eating luch one time .

[@akashuday7107]

I agree with you the workplace enviorment is bad and even growth is very limited for now at least
