Most Useful Mechanical Engineering Branches & Subfields

Mechanical Engineering is arguably one of the most generic types of engineering and, for this reason, is one of the most difficult engineering majors. Because it is so generic, the majority of school offer concentrations, which allow students to focus on a specific area of mechanical engineering. Does concentrating in a specific subfield/branch hurt your chances of getting a job after graduation? In this video, I will answer this question and talk about the different concentrations that you can't go wrong with, the skills/ knowledge required for each concentration, and the types of work you can do after graduation.

[@mechBENgineer]

Mechanical Engineers can also work in another major, and always needed, industry within the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector involving HVAC system design, plumbing systems, and process piping systems. Some even get into fire protection systems. You’ll need a professional license to be considered a “mechanical engineer” or a “fire protection engineer” as they are legally protected titles in the states. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and CFD are mostly involved.

[@tbsbip.1574]

Ty sm for making this video!! I have to choose between mechanical and computer engineering and this video really helped cuz i didn't have much of an idea about future prospects of ME ty!!

[@KoskyJ1]

I like your consistent, inclusive and oriented videos. You deserve many more viewers. I am a happy subscriber and thank you for your content. Also I am a student engineer concentrating on marine engineering. Thanks

[@lbregulator5629]

Computer Science guy here, just curious about Mechanical Engineer!

[@kamilraad3035]

Most useful video. Thank you

[@LucasDimoveo]

I’m more interested in Computational Engineering, and I’ll be aiming for it via an Applied Mathematics major. The tricky part is figuring out how much field specific knowledge I need for a job

[@bizumasresha1125]

I enjoy your videos!

[@D_K007]

Could you please elaborate on the the skills topic of each submechanical field that you have mentioned in this video like how can we possibly learn this skills in part time while working in the industry instead of going to regular college.

[@FaizanAli-op2xe]

Awesome. Nice work

[@ghostghetto9993]

I really do appreciate your efforts to make this helpful video, but I suggest you to use a mic to make your voice as clear as possible. Thanks 🤍

[@trawsoza2926]

Im not a engineer but I love your channel ❤

[@jasoncahochan]

I'm going for Mech Eng, focus Dynamics and Control. End goal is to work for a auto motorsports racing team like Honda's HPD, Gazoo Racing . Only other options at SDSU is Design and Manufacturing, Energy and Thermofluids, Materials and Mechanics. What are your thoughts?

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

Dynamics & Controls is definitely a good concentration if you plan to work in Automotive. Design & Manufacturing is versatile and great too.

[@ellogovna2944]

Bro went off a sick one for sure, ME for da win

[@ei392j2o]

Thank you so much! I'm considering ME, and you are the best mechanical engineer I've seen. However, some people are saying that ME is outdated. Is this true? Also, computational engineering seems really cool, but i I don't get how it is a subfield of ME. Isn't it closer to CS?

[@user-uf2jz6pt5p]

Thank you so much . Can a mechanical engineer work as an aeronautical engineering? And also what is the difference between aeronautical engineering , aerospace and aircraft engineering .... these terms tend to confuse me ?

[@icarofx5134]

Do you think that a career in electromechanical engineering is good? Or is it better to be a mechanic and specialize in electrical, my university offers electromechanics and I am currently in the second year, we have subjects such as thermal machines, air conditioning and refrigeration, also machine vibrations and fluid mechanics, In the electrical branch we have subjects such as electrical circuits, electrical machines, electrical installations, PLC, automation and control, just to mention a few, there are many more. I honestly have no idea what an employer thinks about an electromechanical engineer these days.

[@parthsrivastava2814]

in your opinion is a master's in mechancial engineering field a must?

[@ucmakistemeyenhali]

Thanks.

[@christopherguzman1046]

What would one need to do to get into automotive engineering as entry-level? What are your recommendations?

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

Great question! I would say get a bachelors degree in Mechanical engineering and concentrate in automotive (if your school has one). If it doesn’t, get your foot in the door through an internship or co-op or join a racing club / professor’s research group whose focus is automotive applications

[@ayodejidara5283]

Who knows any yt channel that makes this kind of videos on electrical engineering?

[@anasg007]

I considering mechanical engineering over computer science because of the screen time as a developer. though i think ill have almost the amount of screentime as a mechanical engineer but just doing different things instead of fixing bugs. Anyone with some advice? i grew up coding and gaming my teenage years and not being particularly mesmerized by mechanical structures or engines

[@EverythingGospel540]

Just follow your passion, since materials and designing structures doesn't fascinate you, you should go for comp sci but if your a Christian you can seek God's advice .❤

[@kineax9071]

Im stuck in the exact same position. :|

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

I can definitely see screen time going down for you as a ME, as you get to build prototypes, work with machinists/technicians on the shop floor, and test products. Of course you will still be stuck in front of a computer designing and perhaps running simulations

[@user-jz6ix1dw1v]

what about biomedical engineering?

[@turkishdrama2167]

I finished 1 year mechatronics and i have a high gpa but the plan is too broad also it consentrate on electrical more so i am planning to switch to mechanical engineering . Is it a good idea?

Yeah for sure. Either electrical or mechanical are great, but I would go with mechanical if you want to become a mechatronics engineer.

[@livethefuture2492]

'Jobs' and India don't go together. I'm a 2nd year mechanical engineering student, and that's been basically hammered into me since I started. Personally I don't really care, cuz I always intended to go for masters abroad and further research anyway. But it is rather noticeable that people tend to only take mechanical when there is simply no other option available.

[@kineax9071]

Is getting into software engineering possible when focusing on mechatronics?

[@davidsling]

yes. but i think its better to go into machine learning. but if u like SE then good luck

[@davidsling]

Also working with microcontrollers and PLC gives you knowledge of the work of the computers themselves, i.e. How the processor works, etc. requires you to work with pointers which is considered the most difficult in C language. So if you learn that, languages like java sql and other things are more or less cat cough.

[@wall-eDefense]

TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, TRUST AND FRIENDSHIP😇🙏

[@livethefuture2492]

How about no. Engineering in India is oversaturated, little more than a go to status symbol, a tag line at best. No one takes it because they're actually interested in it. They just go there because that's where supposedly all the jobs are, and frankly because there is little other choice in most colleges.

The problem is not choosing a field of interest, but see which one has jobs available. Most of these fields are flooded and hard to into.

[@nic3880]

Hi, I'm interested in going into renewable energy (solar mainly) I'm hoping to specialise in advanced manufacturing/robotics for solar panels or it's control systems . Perhaps if possible for other stuff like marine renewable energy and wind turbine recycling etc. I apologise as I'm still new to this whole engineering sector, any thoughts would be much appreciated, cheers

[@nic3880]

Ps, this is just an initial pathway, I'll probably see as things goes

[@EngineeringGoneWild]

Renewable Energy has a lot of potential! I think the fact that you are considering advanced manufacturing and robotics is smart, as both have many applications including solar panels🙂
