Mechanical Engineer Mechanical Engineering uses a wide range of fields such as physics and material science for designing, manufacturing, and producing mechanical machines. Within the field of Mechanical Engineering, comes upon years of education where students take on classes including: physics, math going up to Trigonometry, and Engineering itself. However, after getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering, different branches in which to take after receiving a degree is found. This field of Engineering is both physically and mentally demanding so as to create a good career for those type of people. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, Mechanical Engineering has boomed because of the demand for producing and construction of machinery. The Industrial Revolution created wider branches within the Engineering field by advertising the different aspects of engineering including computer, fossil fuel, and transportation fields. Schooling required to achieve such fields reflect massive curriculum that helps one to master their field in mechanical engineering. For instance, I would need to achieve at least twelve credits in three different math courses, eight credits in Engineering, and at least twenty-two credits in different classes in both chemistry and physics. This is just an example of requirements to achieve such goals in a degree at the College of Engineering in University of Michigan. Schools like Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo, where

    Now, as a kid I never really knew, always went back and forth with the idea of mechanical engineering. After the one night I saw a documentary on the Ford Mustang on Netflix, it clicked. I wanted to specialize in automotive engineering to potentially be the next person to work apart of the Mustang team in Dearborn, Michigan. Not only do I have the passion of cars and prior knowledge but the special connection to the Mustang. As said in the documentary, everyone has a Mustang story. I plan to accomplish this in a very goal specific path. For college, I plan to take courses on mechanical engineering while focusing on the automotive side. I plan to get my Masters degree in mechanical engineering as it is a job that will never go out of…

    Many people in my life have also suggested that I pursue engineering with my good math and science skills. Pursuing engineering was without a doubt the easiest and hardest decision I have ever made. This will be my third year at Missouri University of Science and Technology and I can still safely say this is the right fit for my personal needs for self-growth. I am always challenged and required to think in a vastly different way than I have ever been used to. My intended major now was mechanical engineering which is still very interesting to me, but I discovered the many intricacies of civil engineering and decided that I need to pursue it with much haste and tenacity. Civil engineers are a vital part to society as they design so many various structures like roads building plans and even recreational areas. Now, the only way to become an official civil engineer is through formal education. Through this university, my future will be vastly changed for the better by adding significant value to it. The challenges I face every day at Missouri S&T will most certainly be worth it in the end, for I know what I want and need in my life when I become a civil…

My passion for technology was the deciding factor in choosing a technical high school over an academic high school. I completed grade 12 in Rhodesfield High School with Mechanical Engineering as technical subject. My secondary education was complemented in 2006 with a National Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering from Tshwane University of Technology. In 2011, I realised that I needed to expand my knowledge in the technical environment to stay competitive, and thus enrolled for a part time Bachelor of Technology degree in…
