Preparation for Core Mechanical Engineering

Core Mechanical Engineering is a field that has the interest of many students, but still many of the engineering students lack awareness of core mechanical engineering when it comes to the industry and how can one pursue/explore core mechanical engineering. This track will help students to have a better understanding of the field and subfields, and how to explore or pursue their areas of interest in mechanical core engineering.

Following is a chart showing various

for a student pursuing mechanical engineering.

Interest Tracks

Mechanical Core Engineering is divided into multiple subfields namely structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, etc. Different combinations of these sub-fields form different career/interest tracks. To figure out your interest track:

  1. Look into mech CDCs, sort them on the basis of how good/interested were you in those CDCs. Companies look for proficiency in mech CDCs or relevant DELs, for placements.
  2. Projects will require you to apply your core knowledge and problem-solving skill. This will give you exposure to the track of interest and will also demonstrate your problem-solving approach and core proficiency in the placements. Academic projects, including the course projects, SoP, DoP, and LoP are generally enough for placements for a student with a decent CGPA (7.5+). You can also look for off-campus projects in different IITs or foreign universities, through Linkedin or cold mailing the professors. Here is a Table showcasing different Interest Tracks and the relevant course, technical proficiencies, and the faculties with aligning research interests.
  3. You can also look for internships, training, or job shadowing, for industry exposure.
