Hello. \nI'm an Materials Engineering undergraduate from the University of Moratuwa (Sri Lanka) and this is from my experience.\n\nThere's is no 'best' field in engineering. Civil and Mechanical Engineering are equally good fields. And both these fields have a very broad view. If you happen to be a Civil or Mechanical Engineer you'll be able to apply your knowledge in just about everywhere. \n\nIf you are into structures, (designing & constructing houses, bridges, skyscrapers) or if you like coastal engineering or transportation then Civil Engineering is for you.\n\nFor civil engineering you should have a keen sense of Force balance which you've probably done in school and a insight into how structural componants are balanced and held together. \n\n\nMechanical Engineering, is more into designing machines and their componants. You'll get to learn the basics of today's machine componants ranging from simple nuts and bolts to more complex valves and engines. \n\nMechanical Engineering is further specialized into areas such as Mechatronics, Aerodynamics Engineering etc. The new trend in Mechanical Engineering (as with any other field) is computer software. Software like Solidworks, pro-engineer, and Autocad have really made the designing part easy for the engineer.  \n\nHope this helps.

Those jobs are usually open to high school graduates and people with associate degrees.\n\nLab tech posts are also entry-level for some B.S. chemistry positions.

Lots of chemical engineers go in to the brewing/fermentation industry. You could work as a beer brewer or make industrial alcohol. Also, there are lots of jobs for chemical engineers in the cosmetics and personal hygiene industries making soap, shampoo makeup, hair cair products, etc. I also know one chemical engineer who is a perfumer. He works for a major brand creating the new scents.

All engineers receive a fairly broad technical education.  As a mechanical engineer I had to study advanced math, physics, electrical, chemical, aeronautical, industrial, civil and military engineering while specializing in things mechanical such as strength of materials and mechanism, etc.\n\nAn applications engineer applies his/her general and specialized knowledge and experience to solve the myriad technical problems involved in designing a specific product (or project) from very small to exceptionally large.  That often requires consultation with engineers with other specialized knowledge and experience; for the particular application at hand.  Whereas engineer is a broad topic, applications are likely narrow and focused on results.  Hope that helps a little.

Those in the Millwright union work on heavy machinery, generally stationary. Like the kind of machinery you would find in power plants or manufacturing facilities. Huge motors or generators, shafts no human could lift, piping and valves.

I suggest you put a message on "Engineering Tips" www.eng-tips you will need to register and go to the engineering area suited to your question. I guess it will be Mechanical

A mechanical engineer uses scientific knowledge & ingenuity to solve mechanical problems. So you need to have a strong background in the branches of physics that deal with mechanics: statics & dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. Of course, to learn all this you need to be strong in mathematics.\nFrom there, the knowledge extends to more specialized fields like engines, control systems, materials science, etc. You'll learn all these in college when you study for your mechanical engineering degree, so don't worry.\n\nHowever, there is no set requirements for software. Nowadays, mechanical engineers are expected to be able to use computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Popular examples of CAD programs are AutoCAD, Solidworks, Unigraphics, Catia & Pro/Engineer. The good thing about CAD software is that all of them are basically the same. There are only minor differences. So if you can use one, you can learn to use the others easily.\n\nMore specialized engineers need to use more specialized software. There are stress analysis programs like Nastran or I-DEAS to calculate the strength of structures. Programs like FLUENT calculate fluid flow problems.\n\nIt is becoming increasingly important for mechanical engineers to know programming languages. So I recommend that you learn languages like C++ or Basic.\n\nDon't forget the basic office software like MS Office or Lotus Smartsuite. You'll need to use them to store & analyze data, write reports & prepare presentations.

Our Engineering Director prefer to hire those who study Mechanical Engineering if we are hiring for a Design Engineer at our Sales/Marketing/Engineering Office. Chemical Engineers are sought after for those Engineers we hire to work in the plant.  Check out an Engineering Society's website (i.e. SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers) and perhaps it will help assist you with making your decision.

You will have to be good at math (especially algebra and calculus) and physics. \n\nAnd, as with all careers, you will have to be well-organized, patient, and good at working with others.

Mechanical engineering has been used to design many machines for the planting, growing and harvesting of food crops, animal protein processing, food processing, and food packaging. There are special considerations when designing such machines since the machines must be easy to clean.

Definitely mechanical first, because without mechanical skills the others cannot be accomplished.\nSomeone has to build the building, complete the infrastructure, and design the machinery to build electronic devices.\nSteps from basic to hybrid mechanisms have to be taken into account, even though the IT society delegates the mechanical to a back seat.

mechanical engineering \nmore specifically mechatronics\nit is a combination of mechanical engineering and electronics.\nfor the designing part special short courses has to be taken but it would be easy to take after mechanical engg.

well it depends on what sort of a career your looking for.  since they do a lot of work on oil rigs im guessing you are mechanical or civil engineering.  so something like To obtain a full time position in (insert major) with Schlumberger.  Otherwise dont worry about putting an objective.  they generally know your objective is to get a job.

Mechanical design is one of most important subject in Mechanical engineering.\nIt deals mainly with the shape, strength, physics & mechanism of any physical component that you come across.\nFor eg., consider a chair here,\n-Shape wise u would look for asthetics characters with a constraint that the chair to stand firm on ground.\n- Strength wise, u would select a maximum load of 150 kgs, ie it should withstand that weight. Suitable material should be selected.\n-Physics, in this eg. u can limit it to ergonomics.\n-Mechanism, u could select or invent a new mechanism to adjust height, leen back etc.

they are engineers in mechanic things like cars etc.. they solve it`s problem.
