Do mechanical engineers have job stress?

Question

I need this answer for my school project.
Plz reply.

Answer 1

Of course. Every Job has stress. In Mechanical engineering, the question might be trying to be punny... But in any engineering job, there is always someone who doesn't know anything about engineering as the boss, and they always expect things to be done faster than is reasonable. You are always trying to make things as cheaply as possible, but strong enough to do the job...so you are always concerned about making a mistake and making things to flimsey...or too expensive....

Answer 2

Stress In Mechanical Engineering

Answer 3

Everyone stresses over a job...but mechanical engineers rarely get jobs where they actually use any mechanical engineering...ME is very useful and we need them, but they are really...

Answer 4

yes.
I quit mechanical engineering after 13 years of it.

I was growing tired and frustrated from doing the work of 4 engineers by myself, impossible deadlines, and enormous stress.
My last job, they told us that our main job was to cut the cost out of all of our projects and also existing products so save the company 150,000 dollars. In other words, we are worthless to the company unless we can save them a lot more money than our salary is. And we have to prioritize this as job one, and do it each year.
**** that.
I quit. I'm going into accounting, so now it will be me who tells management to fire those worthless engineers. LOL

Answer 5

Certainly we have stress, but you grow into it gradually over a period of many years if you stick with it, and after a while you get very accustomed to it.
We have budgeted hours to maintain for each project, we have schedules to meet, we have specifications and standards to write, read, and maintain, we have to co-ordinate our work with all the other engineering disciplines on each project such as structural, piping, electrical, controls, and construction. We have vendor drawings and calculations to review, equipment bids to compare and make recommendations for, etc., etc., etc.,
