Use of Mechanical Engineer in Industry

Why not?

Why not use spell checker?

Good grief....

To look after the mechanical bits?

Hi Prajyot,

It takes machines to manufacture things and engineers (of all persuasions) to keep them going.

John

To design and maintain the machines that make up the cement industry there is plenty of mechanical engineering work to do. To operate these machines does not require a mechanical engineer.

Because it's needed for a number of reasons.

In the finish product it's self you need a good foundation, .... no pun intended...... from equipment to make the forms, mix the concrete or even the pour.

A structural engineer is needed here, as well as a materials engineer.

My girlfriend's son-in-law is a structural engineer, and they are using a Styrofoam foam type product in the concrete, he had to observe while it was being constructed. Lighter weight, with a little loss in strength.

Also, you need engineers as well as scientists to teach the next generations of structural engineers.

Owen Withey, a professor of mechanics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, back in 1910 had the foresight to do a study on concrete, I believe it started out as a 50 years study, but due to the amount of cement samples he made, it was extended to a 100 hundred year study.

Here is some info. It's an interesting read.

By the way Prajyot, Welcome to CR4.

they're thick headed

They have their uses, but after 24 years in cement manufacture I gave up trying to find out what.

Probably because someone needs to remind people that Sn=F/a and Sb=MC/I and that's just the normal stuf :)

Every manufacturing plant is made up of main processing machines and supporting utilities.

Just like a doctor is required for looking after the well being of humans in every village, a Mechanical Engineer is required for looking after the Machines and Utilities of every manufacturing plant. Call them "Plant Engineers", "Utility Engineers", "Maintenance Engineers" or just "Mechanical Engineers"

Hi,

i am Mechanical engineer working for construction firm. i had the same question before joining, but now can't even think why i am here. there is a work for mechanical engineer in every industry..Believe me, you'll be loaded with your mechanical stuffs..
