Research and Reflection

Blog Research and Reflection

            After writing about twenty blogs which mainly target at mechanical engineering field, I feel like I have found a lot of information that I haven’t noticed before or I didn’t get the time to look for it, this blog project offers me a great opportunity on researching for my field and yet I still think I have a lot of things to know and to share with all mechanical engineers or who wants to get into the field. This blog is the conclusion for all which including research focus and reflection focus as my final blog.

            My blog involves many aspects such as I posts a lot of interesting projects made by college students, interesting videos and even films. However, throughout all my free post blogs, I have found that the biggest aspect I mainly target is the analysis of employment outlook for mechanical engineers. In many blogs, I have introduced the element of mechanical engineering and what can mechanical engineering do? And the answers for these two big questions I apart them into two parts, the first one is mechanical design and another one is working on real machines.

            For mechanical designing, the main job is to design the specific structures and draw pictures for appearance, in my blog, I give a brief introduction for Auto CAD and give the trick on how to do a car appearance by hand-only drawing, and after research I think mechanical designing is the easier and safer job for mechanical engineer, but you make less money than those real workers under lower risk; another one I am going to talk about is the real mechanical workers who actually produce products or repair things by using those big heavy machines, in my blogs, I show some examples of heavy machines even factories, though it is heavy work and risky, you can make more money. I also mention the choices and responsibility for mechanical engineers, so I think my main research is for employment and how can one be a good mechanical engineering.

            Honestly, I first treated this blog project as a simple assignment which worth 200 pts. I am not even sure I am going to take mechanical engineering as my final major since the GPA requirement is ridiculously high and the lessons are difficult as same ridiculous. But, when I got time to research fun stuffs or useful information about mechanical engineering, I started to change my mind, now I think mechanical engineer is not that boring, like we can build robots or models based on our knowledge and besides, we do not need to worry about our future jobs because since the major is hot, mechanical engineers do not need to concern about future jobs and besides it is difficult, so there won’t be many people can graduate. In one word, if I can graduate from mechanical engineer, I will have a great job with high salary and there won’t be many people compete with me.

            I also think that being a mechanical engineer is pretty cool because if you look through my blog, you will find that mechanical engineer is extremely skillful, mechanical engineers not only can draw structures and build cars, ships and airplanes, but also mechanical engineers can build killing weapons and I think this attracts men a lot. Personally, I am a military fan and maybe if there is a chance, I shall turn my major into weapon engineer, just like we change our talents for our video games character. And weapon engineers occurred long time ago around the world. So basically, my reflection is that mechanical engineer is a good career to be and mechanical engineers have a lot of spaces to develop for themselves.
