Introduction
A professional degree in Mechanical Engineering will allow me to become actively involved in all areas of design. Designing and planning a project requires careful decision-making so that the appropriate materials are used. The machinery must carry out the task it was designed to do while at the same time giving workers a safe task. Noise and environment pollution are two of the greatest problems that need to be taken into consideration, because the health of workers is a primary concern.
Knowledge and Skills Area
Therefore look forward to opportunities to create innovative solutions to problems based on a diverse range of knowledge. That is why my education in the mechicnacl engineering is essential. I want to be able to implement the basic engineering standards for using the correct thechology and standard engineering practices.. The diverse activites allow an engineer to carry out field work, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations.
Problem Solving
Problem solving for a mechanical engineer requires making comprises in order to design a machine that meets the demands of the producer while still offering workers safety while using machinery. I like to look at the bigger picture of an event, and then step-by-step look at all the factors that input into design and planning.
Figure 1 Engineering Design Loop (yahoo.com, n.d.)
Mechanical Engineering requires learning how to manage my time and carry out a design process successfully. The engineering design loop shows how the process for designing an item can be broken down into smaller steps (See fig. 1). The loop is circular and steps continue to flow around the circle. The loop shows how a product or management strategy can always be improved. The loop continues to pass through all the stages because new data is entering the process all the time.
Professional and Personal Attributes
The profession of engineer fits my personality because I am able to follow detailed directions. I have the ability to identify the main phases of a project and then design a project plan. I have good management skills and I feel more comfortable woking as a part of team instead of off on my own. The studied many hours to understand the coursework well enough that I can carry out engineering tasks with confidence. I want to continue studying challenging coursework as well as learning better management skills for when I am employed.
Competencies
The range activities include understanding regulations and how to best implement the required standards and regulations. I will be a licensed engineer and my education will continue by taking workshops and attending coferences. Techoloy is changing so fast it is absolutely necessary to have training in new software applications and new materials that are coming onto the market. Attaining my graduate degree will give me a strong foundation for understanding the engineer principles that I need for a successful career. A Mechanical Engineering is involved in finding sustainable methods that meet standard engineering practices as well as provide long-term durable project outcomes.
