Re: tell me idea guys........

Shankar:

Based on your questions, I conclude that you did not select mechanical engineering as your major in school, but someone else did. Or you selected it because it was something you could do to earn a decent living, but you have no passion or greate desire. Therefore, since you are asking others to select your field, anything will do, as it is not important to you which one is best for you.

The "homework" you need to do is to kindly ask mechanics, welders, pipefitters and/or millwrights if they will allow you to follow them around as they do their jobs and tell you what they are doing, and what stupid design mistakes to avoid. If they develop a trust in you, consider asking them if they will allow you to carry their tools for them, and then later learn to use some basic tools.

By the way, I would NEVER hire a new graduate to do design work, unless he was a craftsman before he went to school. I would consider hiring a new grad to do drafting, and then, if he showed promise, send him to maintenance or construction for a few years to learn from craftsman.
