Is it a good decision to study Machenical engineering technician in Manufacturing?

It's hard to tell the future of any profession. My advice is that you should chose the one with you feel happier. In my case, I studied Mechanical engineering, in the beginning I used to work with manufacturing (I mean something more like Industrial Engineering) and now I work with Aeronautical engineering. \n\nOnce you have the Mechanical engineering background, it is possible for you to work in many different areas... \n\nUnfortunately, I can't tell you about Electronics engineering, because I have no background in the area.\n\nHope I've helped on something!

Math, Math, Math Theory, Science ,computers, and I would also suggest some good english classes, communication classes and business fundamentals.  While the main job of the mechanical engineer is to design and build systems that do useful work, you have to understand and be able to explain to those that are non technical and are paying the tab.  those other classes will help with that.

It really depends on what you want to do. A tech college may be enough, but it can never hurt to be TOO edjucated

Wow...so many issues to consider.\n\nI wish I knew what you were studying, and where you are coming from.\n\nOK, I have never heard of New Jersey Inst. of Tech., so I can't say much about it.  It appears to be a good school, but I'm surprised I don't know more about it. \n\nUniv. of Michigan is very highly respected university, but the Dearborn branch is not the one that is known.  This may not be bad, but it isn't ideal either.  Also, Michigan is very cold in winter.\n\nUniv. of Alabama, Huntsville is not very well known in most of the nation, but has some very strong technical programs, especially in engineering.  The area is a small city in a rural area, and it not usually seen as a very diverse area.  However, in general, I'd say that the people there are generally more friendly than in the other places listed.  Plus the weather is much nicer.\n\nGood luck to you whichever you choose.

It depends on what you want to do.\n\nYou should keep in mind that technical school credit is almost never transferrable to colleges and universities.  So if you think you might want to continue your education later, you may be better off going to a community college.\n\nBut if you are interested in a field that doesn't require college, and you don't particularly want to go, then tech school can be an excellent option.\n\nHere in Georgia, we have very good technical schools and I know many people who have graduated from them and found good jobs that they enjoy doing.

Go to their site http://pg.sitebase.net/global/pages/content/view_jobs_us.html    I see that they have openings for  Manufacturing-Engineer(s) and Manufacturing-Plant Technician

Yes my brother is a mechanical engineer.  You can find work in almost every state.

You can study mechatronics

It is a professional course, so I would say that it is a good profession. The only thing is that it depends on who you are and what your personality is towards the course. Overall, it's a good job to have.

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.

In order for this to work out for you, I would say that you would have to totally make up your mind and commit to this.  \n\nEngineering is not the type of study that you can half-ass and make it through with good grades.  You won't be able to keep working 8 hour days or so and make it through the cirriculum.  I'm in mechanical engineering right now and I love it, but its hard work.\n\nAlso, I don't know of any schools that would offer every class you need via distance learning.  Work experience like co-ops look good on a resume but I don't think its completely necessary if you graduate with good grades.\n\nI would just suggest that you make you commit 100% if you're going to go for it, otherwise you'll end up spending thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.

My opinion is that mechanical engineers have more opportunity.  Industrail engineers work mainly in factories, distribution centers and the like designing production lines, doing time studies , logistics planning, forcasting production, etc. Mechanical engineering is much more varied. Just about any company doing design work probably needs an ME but mostly only manufacturing and distribution companies need an industrial/production engineer. Given the range of topics that an ME needs to study in school, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, statics, strength of materials....he or she could be working on nanomachines, steel structures, aerospace, medical devices, engines, pneumatics,  thermal design...the list goes on and on.  MEs make more money striaght out of school.  Manufacturing is also on the decline in the US.

If you are looking for a bachelors degree: my advice is if you think you want to get into mech eng. then just do it. You can always switch to another field for your masters.\n\nWhat I did was opt for Physics because it offers a science base -- in case you want to change majors/fields in the future. \n\nAnd frankly, I never regretted choosing Physics (at IIT, Chicago).\n\nbut whichever field you choose, never lose sight of your goals and interests. You likely are unaware of these right now (if just starting college) so just find the place that feels right for the time - -you can even switch-up in a year and choose Physics, or electrical, or hell, even Architecture (I would have liked architecture -- but it's not a regret. I have a great appreciation for it having been a Physics student).

What are your talents and what do you like doing?  You should get with a guidance counselor at the college you are planning to attend to get some personal advice, one on one.  Engineering is always a good field, with a lot of different options.  The world is full of engineers of different sorts, but talent will rise to the top.  And if you are good in your field, the old business won't matter if you don't bring the baggage with you.

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.

Of course (but perhaps I am biased :-)  ).  Mechanical Engineers are involved in practically every industry.  I feel that is practically the most versatile engineering degree.  Pretty much every product has been touched by a mechanical engineer, but you can't really say that about other types of engineering.  ME's work with electronics, aerospace, chemical-related companies, food companies, HVAC, structures, materials, cars/transportation, manufacturing & production, biomedical companies, and the list goes on and on...  \n\nAero/Astro engineers... aero/astro companies\nElectrical engineers... electronics\nCivil engineers... buildings/bridges/structures, etc.\nChemical engineers... pharmaceutical, foods, chemicals...\nMaterials science engineers... materials.\n...Just to list a few other fields.\n\nLike I said before, I am a recent ME grad, so of course I am biased towards my own degree.  But ANY engineering is a great field to get into in general.  I have always felt that there seem to be a lot more opportunities for ME's than a lot of other engineering majors, however.  We can work with practically every industry, and there will never be a lack of jobs in this field, because practically everything requires it.

Boeing are in the process of laying off 30,000 workers...\n\nWhile Being may certainly present options in the field of machining I wouldn't waste your time. After working in the aerospace field (from the technical side) for 10 years I can tell you that Boeing is a very unstable environment. So are all the other various aerospace companies (Lockheed, etc.) They tend to hire and fire as required to maintain extremely tight budgets. Many of my friends worked as contractors for Boeing at one time or another and almost none of them finished their contract.\n\nMy suggestion for you would be to look for a small but profitable machine shop. I know that's asking you to climb a mountain but that's where you will find most of the stable jobs in this day and age. The auto industry is also a no-no these days.\n\nYou might also consider looking for management positions in   a machine shop or similar environment. You have to have considerable years of experience under your belt and that will count for a lot.\n\nAlso, be on the look-out for similar jobs in related fields. Don't narrow your search too tightly as you may be passing on perfectly legitimate alternatives.\n\nGood luck! I hope you find something soon. Never lose hope okay?!
