Are you happy with ME?

I'm currently a freshman pursuing a ME bachelor degree. At first I was skeptical between civil and mechanical engineering but decided to go with mechanical for my passion towards the automotive industry and manufacturing. But lately, I have been reading comments and posts about how the job isn't that lucrative compared to other engineering fields. I know that a person should follow their passion but I'm just afraid of regretting my decision later on. I'm really passionate about mechanical engineering. Currently, idk exactly where I'll be heading towards in ME and I know that it is considered one of the largest fields of engineering. So my question is, are you happy as a mechanical engineer? Sorry for my bad English Thank you submitted by /u/3aloshi [link] [comments] from The ME Hang Out https://ift.tt/3b8vmNl https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Engineering question

Hey! So this isn't a "design this for me" post, and I don't want it to come off that way, so I won't even mention what I am trying to create. My question is, If I wanted to create some (somewhat simple?) mechanical contraption but lacked the knowledge to do it myself, what steps should I take to try and find a solution or somebody that can help me? Thanks. submitted by /u/Andrew9768 [link] [comments] from The ME Hang Out https://ift.tt/2RByr0t https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Ideas needed! Measuring displacement on two axes, but can I measure the displacement on the different axes over one direction instead?

Hello fellow engineers! A few weeks back I started a thread on different methods of translating horizontal and vertical displacement over one axis (the vertical one) so I could use some sort of displacement sensor above water to calculate strain on these axes in water. TLDR: I am using two linear inductive proximity sensors on two axes, but the one that measures horizontal displacement does not fit in it's circular housing because it is perpendicular to the axle, so I need to find a way to fit both of these sensors in the housing while still being able to measure displacement over both axes. (And, if it doesn't properly fit in the housing it will disturb the flow of water through the tank, and thus negatively impact my measurements) Today I'm here with a similar issue, sadly, even after I thought I had the solution for the first problem. I'll elaborate. So, my initial task was to redesign a system that measures lift and drag forces on a wing, inside a circular t...
