What exactly does a mechanical engineer do ?

It doesn't really matter what discipline an engineer has a degree in. They can end up doing all kinds of things that are not directly related to their degree training.\n\nPeople always seem to think mechanical engineers deal with things mechanical but that is a very broad generalization.\n\nMy degree is in mechanical engineering but I have worked in \nfield construction,\n \nplant engineering (equipment and process related),\n\nprocurement, \n\nspecification writing for all types of technical stuff from electrical, to civil and all areas in between,\n\nproject engineering covering all disciplines,\n\nproject management,\n\ndesign of heat exchangers, pressure vessels, compressors, pumps, piping, electrical, foundations and structural steel, instrumentation, and processes,\n\ncost estimating and economic evaluation\n\nplanning and scheduling,\n\nacoustics,\n\nhazard analysis,\n\nenvironmental mitigation,\n\nand training and mentoring.

Thermal Engineering involves the study and engineering of systems which transfer heat between two medians.  It is a branch of mechanical engineering.  An important toolkit that a thermal engineer has is an understanding of thermodynamics.\n\nMore can be found about this stuff at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

It is someone specializing in aeroplanes and aviation. These industries employ many engineers. For more details and the answers to all your questions, please contact your local  Association Of Professional Engineers.

i thought the some subject matters only, marine course is too far the mechanical engineers, you know marine engineer is how the machineries in the ship run while the mechanical is the capacity of machineries lke the geothermal plant is example,factory plant.this is not a doctor can be a nurse or nurse can be a doctor.

Not necessarily just electrical. I have friends taking a robotics course which is a mechanical engineering course. I believe it is dealing with things like factory automation.

Mechanical or material science engineering, depending on what aspect of it you want to work on.  Mechanical engineers work on the nozzles and alignment.  Material science engineers work on making the material better and cheaper.  At Washington State University a few years back, they had a team working on stereo lithography who found a way to add fibers, making the parts effectively useful as prototypes, even in assemblies under load.\n\nComputer science is probably another one since folks are always looking to improve the code and make it easier and cheaper to use.

That will really depend on you. Mechanical will be a good start. See what else you really like, talk to a guidance counselor to start getting headed in the right direction. If you don't like their answer, talk to a different one. There are lots of engineering jobs but again, Mechanical should get you ready for a very wide array of careers.

mechanical engineers deals with machines to be more precise the moving parts of any machine while electrical engineers deal with the electrical circuitry o any machine. for example the gears of any machine will be under the purview of mechanical engineers while all the electrical on off switches are dealt by electrical engineers. In an air conditioner , the compressor willl be designed by mechanical engineers while electrical engineers wil design the temparature control circuits.

That all depends on what kind of engineer your talking about.  Electrical engineer does electric work/ supervising, Mechanical engineer does almost anything that has to do with machine and power things.  I fix things and keep boats running in the coast guard.  Train engineers drive trains.

Mechanical engineering will be huge relative to energy efficiency.  There are already too many MBAs in the world and the rest of the world will supply cheap software support for the next several generations.

Most people have no idea what Mechanical Engineering is believing that has to do with a car mechanic, and fixing boilers. Mechanical Engineering is the part of the engineering science that deals with Mechanics of all kinds. You will learn how to design thermal and climatic control systems, electrical systems, automation machines like cranes, elevators and all electro-mechanical equipment that is used in factories and buildings. Mechanical engineers also deal a lot with material design and strength.\n\nA mechanical engineer can do the following jobs\n\nBuilding design\nFactory production line design\nCars design\nVessels design\nOil industry\nAerospace engineering\n\netc.\n\nMechanical engineers are VERY well paid. Here in Europe a mechanical engineer for his first job should be expected to be paid at least 2000 Euros (a bit more than 2000 dollars) a month. \n\nSo yes if you like engineering and mechanics I would deffinetly go there. However you can also consider Electrical/Electronics and Civil.\n\nCheck http://www.imeche.org.uk/ for more info

it is, and there is a big market requiring mechanical engineering cos they r the most wanted cos of their logical thinking and their ability to fulfil any schedualed job with minimum cost and time. yes they do that. i mean good, heavy duty, and hard workers not any engineer.\ni advice u to go on, i am a mechanical engineer with master degree and my monthly income is about 6200 dollars

Industrial Engineering is closely related to mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.  Actually all engineers must study at least the fundamentals of all engineering fields in order to cooperate with other specialized engineers.  The Industrial Engineer specializes in setting up and efficiently running industrial plants that may include electrical, mechanical and chemical components and other.  One specialty of the Industrial Engineer is to study time management which includes the organization and flow of materials and products through the plant and the efficiency of workers who may need more or better tools to avoid rejects.
