i have joined mechanical engineering how can i get into software field?

Answer 1

Network with the Computer Engineers and Computer Science guys and take those (and Business!!!) electives whenever possible. See which companies recruited the kinds of jobs you want to do and next recruiting season try to contact their recruiters when they are on campus. If you are in a bit of a hurry (just graduated), then contact those recruiters now! Learn basic Software Engineering terminology and Issues.

If you want to be a programmer/developer learn VB or C or SQL. Take advantage of Mech. Eng. classes that are CAD/CAM related to get to know the computer Operating system as well as the program (see if a lab tech will let you install/configure/upgrade the software). Try to learn a little UNIX or linux or networking or security or whatever, if that's inline with what your direction. These are actually things that you can put on your resume when applying. Also consider applying to Professional service firms, such as Deloitte, BearingPoint, Accenture, etc and sell your analytical and probelm solving skills. They just love it.
The good news is that I have EE degree and good friend like you has ME, we met at a job where we were both working on a datawarehouse - so there's definitely a lot of hope for you!

All the best and I hope that helps.
