mechanicle engineering and ... ?

Question

Electricla engineering, systems engineering, physics : which of these three would go perfectly and would form an excelent combination with mechanicle engineering, and why ?

Answer 1

first off, if you don't learn to spell correctly, you'll flunk freshman english and the rest will be moot.

Answer 2

Check out the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) website for details on specific specialties in ME. I am in EE, but my best friend has a BS in ME and MS in ME nanomanufacturing.

I know a few ME specialties and I will try my best to answer them.

Materials (Chemical and ME combination)
Specializing making combinations of materials or knowing which type of substance is needed for design or test.

Industrial
productivity improvement

Robotics (EE and ME combo)
Self explanatory

Manufactoring
Self explanatory

ME in electronics
Designing and fabricating components for small electronics (nanos are the new rage)

ME applications in biotech engineering
There are a bunch of biotech companies in my area (about a hundred within 10 mile radius) that hire mechanical engineers to design and test components that go into the human body. People with this degree usually have materials, EE and biology backgrounds.

Systems Engineering
This is more logistics and project management specialty.

Note on SE: Most companies will train a promising engineer this position very early on and require a masters degree. A company of 300 employees will need $2-3M a month to survive. Project managers are expected to make the company more than that a month and keep overhead low.

High paying government contractors like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems and Mitre require a minimum GPA of 3.6-3.8 for many engineering positions.

For starting pay, here in the metro Boston area, is 50-55K for BS in ME (65K+ for MS in ME with <2 years experience)

Answer 3

Physics would be a great pair for ME because you need to learn a lot abou physics anyway. In order to have good engineering designs you need to understand what forces will be placed on your design. The better you understand the physics, the better designs you will have and the more creatively you will be able to solve problems that might arise. If you are an ME major you might find out that you need a lot of physics so a minor or double major might not be too hard to achieve.

Answer 4

Physics..... everything revolves around it in mechanical engineering. It's the base you really need in order to become a mechanical engineer. I have taken NUMEROUS engineering classes (including electrical engineering and mechanical engineering) and I must say that physics helped me out a hell of a lot more than I thought it would. In addition, it's really useful in everyday, real-world mathematical and general scientific problems.

I took physics last year and now I'm taking Advanced Placement physics next year because I got so much out of it.

Answer 5

An English class would be a great start.

Mechanical and electrical engineering have gone hand-in-hand for several decades.

Electrical engineering and systems engineering are acquaintences..

Answer 6

Physics. You learn about mechanics. There is actually a Physics class called Mechanical Physics

Answer 7

all of them are good,considering you are talking about
taking some courses in those areas?
but system engineering is more appealing.
