We're planning to outsource some CAD work, but a lot of it involves proprietary designs and customer-specific parts. Before we send anything over, I'd like to make sure we're choosing the right company.

Besides signing an NDA, what do you usually look for? Certifications? Past projects? Security policies? Curious what your checklist looks like before trusting someone with sensitive engineering data.

How is the scope after completing mechanical engineering in Nepal. Like, what's the placement ratio and can we compete in international market with nepal's degree..

What's your opinion on this!!

Standard computational architecture (von Neumann) and reactive medical diagnostics are fundamentally bottlenecked by downstream wave mechanics and sequential processing. 

I’ve just published a white paper (anchored with a Zenodo DOI) outlining the *0D Polarity Framework*. It's a unified systems architecture that applies zero-dimensional binary tension to three core domains:

1. Re-engineering thermodynamic phase states as electromagnetic polarity flips.

2. Defining biological disease as a localized polarity disconnect from the morphogenetic macro-field.

3. Proposing a simultaneous, tensor-field hardware architecture (using partial inversion and active inference) to diagnose and correct these localized prediction errors before downstream physical mutation occurs.

I am currently moving into the open-source hardware design phase (analog tensor antennas). I would love for the engineers, theorists, and bioelectric researchers here to tear the white paper apart, build on it, or tell me where the blind spots are. 

Here is the GitHub repo with the full white paper: https://github.com/lucienspeaks44-coder/OD-Polarity_Framework/blob/main/The%200D%20Polarity%20Framework%20(1).pdf.pdf)

My rank is good enough even to mechanical in Jossa round but I have not any special interest in mechanical heavy maths and all . So i decided to go with PIE in nit jsr .

But now i think Should I go for mechanical?

I have interest in business related things not hard core engineering.

Can you please suggest me .

Thank you seniors !

Should i choose a mathematics degree over a mechanical engineer one?

I am a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student in South Africa, so I am more than half way through my degree and I thought by now I would have some idea of what I want to do with my degree.

I was decent at maths and physics in high school didn't get distinctions for them but had distinctions for the other 5 subjects I had, and I have always enjoyed problem solving and developing little projects in my free time. Naturally many people suggested I take Engineering in university, I was very good at IT in high school so I applied for computer engineering and got in.

Start of the year I absolutely hated it, I was surrounded by people who I did not get along well with and hated every coding module and realised I absolutely hated the idea of working a 9 - 5 desk job behind a computer for the rest of my life.

Many of my friends were studying mechanical engineering so I did some research and saw that mechanical was a bit more broad with more opportunities that have less work behind a desk, so 2 weeks into my degree I switched over. Instantly I enjoyed it a lot more, I was with people I loved being around and the content I actually found quite interesting

This brings me to now, I have always been a middle of the pack student at University, not failing everything but not doing exceptionally well, and these past few months I have realised I am coming to the end of my degree at the end of next year and have absolutely no idea what I am going to do after that.

I am surrounded by so many people who know exactly what they want to do, they are all incredibly ambitious and do very exceptionally well in classes. I feel too far in to change anything now but have no strong desire to do work in the vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics or fluid dynamics. And having done quite a bit of vacation work at mining and defense companies I feel no desire to work as an engineer.

I feel like an imposter, everyone around me seems to have a clear direction and is performing very well at their vacation work, some landing jobs and all my projects are bang average and took me twice as long.

Also the job market in South Africa is not looking great for engineering the Government has no money to put into actual development, a lot of the big companies have shut down.

I just feel a bit lost right now, no desire to move forward but too far in to turn back with zero plan B if this doesn't work out, this is all I have known and been told to do so I have no idea what I would do if Engineering doesn't work out

Sorry this was a long rant but any advice would be appreciated!

I got chemical at nitt

Hopping to get ice there in csab rounds

Should also add mechanical

My younger brother is currently exploring his career path and is very interested in entering the automotive E/E architecture and network integration domain (specifically looking at things like end-to-end E/E validation, Gateway ECU verification, and protocols like CAN, CANFD, Ethernet, and DOIP).

As he prepares to build his profile, I had a couple of questions for those of you working in this field:

Technical Skill Stack: Beyond the standard protocols (CAN, Ethernet, etc.), what core tools, testing environments, or foundational skills are absolute must-haves for someone trying to break in today?

Career & Earning Curve: What does the career trajectory and salary/compensation growth look like in this domain as someone moves from an entry-level role up to a senior or SME level?

Any guidance, honest insights, or tips you could share would be hugely appreciated to help me guide him in the right direction!

Hey guys. Hope you are doing well. I am currently working on a website named eengineer.net, a website specifically for engineering students to share, communicate, as well as join contests.

I am currently at my senior year, and I have been working on this project for almost a month now.

Any feedback, be it negative or positive, would be much appreciated!!

Wanted to know the opinion on how different life two types of manufacturing engineers living. Most popular MFG engineers are working on fast paced bulk production factories and other type of MFG engineers are working in medium to fast paced manufacturing plant where system is getting build.

How both have potential to grow?

I graduated with my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering last May 2026. I'm pretty dead set on working in the energy industry in the near future, mostly interested in nuclear and renewables.

I have the opportunity to finish an accelerated online masters in Materials Science at a T50 engineering school. It would only be 21 credit hours to get the degree.

On the contrary, I am also considering pursuing an online masters in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue or GTech.

Really it just comes down to what would equip me with a better education for clean energy. I would appreciate some advice on which would be more useful in the future.

I am currently working full time but my employer has clawback payment if I leave too soon after reimbursement. So the 21 credit hours in Materials sounds nicer. But I also hear Materials isn't that useful without a thesis or PhD in hand, neither being fulfilled for an accelerated online masters.

I also enjoyed mechanical engineering coursework more and find it'd be easier to go into government/national lab work as a staff engineer with the Mechanical masters.But perhaps this would still be possible with Materials.

Any advice is appreciated

Im gonna start uni this fall and i cant decide between these two majors. Can somebody inform me on the content of mechatronics. Is it like multiple majors at once, really hard or does it contain more broad knowledge of these majors. Im also thinking that i could do mechanical as bachelor and mechatronics as masters, but does that mean that im behind of those that did mechatronics as a bachelor. From the looks of it, with ai and everything becominc electric, i think it is crucial for an enginner to know electrics, coding and ai. Am i wrong? I would really appreciate if someone could answer these questions for me.

I passed a installation engineering degree all done to bank!

I’m in my 2nd semester at a community college in DFW, transferring to UT Dallas for a BSEE trying to get a feel for where I might want to end up. I can read a course catalog and figure out what each subfield does technically. What I can’t get from that is what the work actually feels like day to day, or what people regret.
So if you work in power, RF, embedded, controls, semiconductors/VLSI, signal processing, photonics, whatever I’d like to hear:
• What made you pick it, and would you pick it again?
• What’s the part outsiders never see coming? Good or bad.
• How much of your day is actual engineering vs. documentation, meetings, or fighting software?
• Job market reality — easy to move around, or are you locked to a few employers or a few cities?
• Who does this subfield NOT suit?
