I’m stuck with this issue any cad experts and design engineers , dm me fast and help me rn

i honestly want to know how yall managed to pass core subjects like thermo,and fluid mechanics. atp passing these feel impossible. guys do share ur views on how i can improve. feel free to dm me.

i just wrote my thermo paper today and im lowkenuinely fried. pls tell me how u guys managed to pass this fcking subject.

I feel like I made the wrong decision on my career early on and am looking for advice. During college I did 3 years of d2d pest control sales. Though I’m outgoing and friendly I hated it. Did some high ticket coaching sales also. Graduated in mechanical engineering but when ai first came out I started working on building a software and have been for the past 3-4 years.

I am now a graduated mechanical engineer with no job experience except for programming which is now taken by ai and by people with deeper software background than me. My background is all over the place with sales, mech engineering, and software development.

Now I would love to get back into more engineering roles but have also considered sales engineering but it seems over saturated with all the engineers that have been laid off due to ai. Everyone says I would be an awesome sales engineer but after a few interviews I guess I am not good enough? I would fit in sales engineering with a mechanical engineering role or software engineering sales role.

Question 1: For any sales engineers in here, does anyone that was previously in a more creative/hands on job regret going the sales route? The reason I became an engineer is because I love building things but maybe I just save that for hobbies…

Question 2: If you were me, would you go into tech or mechanical sales engineering or a dedicated mechanical engineering role?

Question 3: What salary should I be looking for in mechanical engineering or sales engineering with my experience (or lack thereof) since I haven’t had a dedicated mechanical engineering position or actual sales engineering position?

Question 4: Are there even any jobs? Unfortunately we are limited to remote or St. George or Phoenix with my wife’s business (she’s making more than me so it doesn’t make sense for her to drop her businesses to move somewhere for my job.) but I have been having a hard time landing anything since searching.

Tia for you input!

Nothing personal against the rest. To be honest, everyone can join if you have that mindset.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, and I just realized that I never really met the right kind of people with whom I can develop business ideas, discuss engineering stuff, or just challenge each other's way of thinking.

I have drinking friends, shit-talking friends, working-out friends (not so much anymore 😅), and colleagues. But none of them are really interested in engineering, building things, business ideas, learning new skills, or actually creating something together.

So I'm looking for engineers and like-minded people who are curious, ambitious, and like to think/build rather than just talk about it.

I got admission into thapar instute mechanical engineering which is renowned for the mechanical engineering course but my mom is not convinced that i would be able to secure a future through mechanical engineering and consistently wants me to pursue some course around computers what points should i give her to convince her that i can do mechanical engineering

I am a female and I love engineering, I am in my last year of highschool. I just want feedback if I should or shouldn’t major in it? I am debating between BME and this caree. Please any thoughts.

4- What laws of physics or mechanical principles are key for your day to day work and how can they be seen in practice? 

5- What ethical, social or enviromental dilemmas does a mechanical engineer go through in a professional aspect? 

6- Apart from the technical knowledge, what habilities are essential to achieve succes as a mechanical engineer? 

Thanks in advance 😄! 

hloo everyone i am about to join mechanical engineering,do any of u got any advice(my goal is to go for the field of cfd) so please do give any tips it would be valuable guys.. thank you (joining psg itech btw)

I’m having a hard time finding a good laptop all the non mac laptops are either too big or too heavy and most of them are plastic and the design feels tacky

Those who completed B.E/B.Tech/Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. What are you doing in your life right now?

Hi y’all. My team is about to outsource some CAD work. But we can’t just outsource like that since it involves proprietary designs and customer parts. Before we hand anything over, I wanna be sure we pick the right shop.

So how can we vet a CAD outsourcing partner before sending them proprietary designs? Signing an NDA feels like the bare minimum, right?

What else do you all look at? Certifications? Past work they've done? Their security setup?

I think my team are busy currently hunting for a CAD outsourcing shop that's cool working on government stuff. I know not every engineering firm is built for that😅.

Who does CAD outsourcing for government or DoD-related projects, though?

If you've outsourced CAD or reverse engineering for defense or aerospace before, who'd you go with?

Hey, I have came across the drawing in which certain cylinder had a +/- diemnsion and a circulairty tolerance. Tolerances were +/-.010in and 0.080in for a circularity. It made me wonder, isn't that circularity tolerance redundant?

If this feature is holding to +/- tolerance it certainly holds to circularit tolerance and then the opposite good part in circularity tolerance may be not good enough for +/-.

Is there something that im missing? Does that circularity bring something extra to the definition?

We're collecting quotes from a few CAD outsourcing companies and the prices are honestly all over the place. Some are almost half the cost of others, but it's hard to know what you're actually getting.

Besides price, what do you usually compare before picking a vendor? We mainly need production-ready CAD models and drawings, so I'd rather avoid surprises later.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Nepali student currently trying to decide between a few engineering majors, and I’m honestly quite confused. I’m not deeply committed to one specific field yet, so I’m trying to choose based on career viability, flexibility, and the ability to pivot into different areas later on.

The four fields I’m currently considering are:

• Computer Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering
• Civil Engineering

A little about my interests and situation:

I’m particularly interested in coding and hardware-related fields. I find areas like embedded systems, electronics, chips, robotics, etc. genuinely interesting, although I’m still exploring what exactly I would like to specialize in.

At the same time, I’m also considering Mechanical, Industrial, and Civil Engineering because they seem to have broader engineering applications and potentially provide a good foundation for pursuing a master's abroad. I’m considering countries such as Germany, the US, or other countries in the future.

One of my biggest concerns with Computer Engineering is the current tech job market and layoffs. I’m passionate about learning, but I sometimes worry that I may not become as proficient at programming as some of my peers. I don't want to choose Computer Engineering only to realize later that I’m not competitive enough.

My questions

1. For Computer Engineering graduates/engineers:
If I study Computer Engineering in Nepal, how viable is it for building a career abroad as well as in Nepal? Since Nepal's hardware industry is relatively small, would that significantly limit my opportunities if I want to pursue hardware-related careers?

2. For students who started without much programming experience:
If someone is genuinely interested in Computer Engineering but is starting from a relatively basic level, is it realistic to become proficient by consistently learning programming and different languages alongside university? How important is it to be naturally "good at coding" from the beginning?

3. For Mechanical/Civil/Industrial engineers:
These fields are often described as having more "evergreen" career prospects. Is that actually true in practice? How flexible are these degrees if I later want to move into areas such as robotics, automation, manufacturing, energy, software, or other engineering fields?

4. Most importantly:
If you were in my position — interested in coding + hardware, not completely committed to one discipline, concerned about long-term job prospects, and potentially planning to pursue a master's abroad — which degree would you choose and why?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually studied or worked in these fields, rather than just general opinions.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

So basically in my engineering science... We have to build a drawbridge... Using either motor or pulley and belt system... Well I want to use a motorised pulley system and any ideas or advice to share?

So im planning on doing thr foundation at NSBM and do thr mechanical and mechatronics degree , i just want to know is there difference between this and doing the mechanical engineering degree at sliit? Im just scared abt the mechatronics part and i can get a job as a mechanical engineer if I do the degree at NSBM

Is there anyone who is now a mechanical after doing the degree at NSBM pls let me know
