Mechancial Engineers

As I always say to the young ones= for any successful career

- Learn to learn.

- Read, search, and then ask (and not the other way round as is seen by todays young impatients)

- Do not limit yourself to mechanical engineering. (As an electrical engineer, I had to had my share of dipping in mechanical, metallurgy, welding, ...). The engineering streams can not be divorced, that's why the other stream a few of the credits are usually kept mandatory.

- Discuss thoroughly before change. Learn to believe your colleagues. Everybody do not steal ideas. remember the group discussions are to bring out weak links and not for personal criticism. After all they can make a fun if a weak link exist. And this provides the opportunity to plug it.

- In the end do not be scared of making mistakes (provided the above steps are followed)

And as per my personal experience, I learnt engineering after graduating. When in college, i learnt just for passing the exam. Then I had to re-read the books, and I am doing them even after some thirty years when some doubts arise. So read them now, if you have been through the grind and keep on.
