Mechanical Engineering: A science under transition and a blessing in disguise

 Hello Everyone,

It’s been no surprise about the news that the world of Mechanical Engineering is under huge transformation. With the advent of the pandemic in 2020, a door to reality was opened where the digital neediness of society and urgency for scrapping off unrealistic curriculum were exposed to a major segment of youth. Naturally, in lieu of adopting as per new normal and contactless world, trends in education are now inclined towards the Software community.

But

Let’s talk about some facts. What’s the current rate of production of software engineers in the world? That number is predicted to rise to 27.7 million by 2023. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, software engineers are predicted to increase at a pace of 24 percent between 2016 and 2026, far faster than any other occupation in the country. Currently, it seems to be the most lucrative business. But at the same time, it is posing some serious questions like the energy requirements to handle such a Mega-Data assembled world, the sustainability, the Reversibility and recycling, the crisis of conventional energy resources, the need for new materials for better and high-tech hardware, the conservation of the environment, and of course the survival needs which are depending on agriculture, bio-medical, etc.

And that’s why the courses like Mechanical Engineering have enormous scope as far as the next ten years are concerned. Mechanical Engineering gives simple answers to burning questions like:

a)     Electric Vehicles

b)     Renewable Energy

c)     Sustainable Engineering

d)     Robotics involvement in a more generalized way of living

e)     Safety Engineering

f)      Advanced and Enhanced Machining

g)     Novel models of Industrial Engineering

h)     Agriculture

i)      Bio-Medical

j)      Magnetic levitation based transport

And much more

Obviously, the conventional methods of studying syllabi covering decades-old theorems and their derivations, need to undergo modifications more application-based, and the skill set required to operate digital machinery and high-tech instruments needs to be developed. The knowledge of CNC, Python, Deep learning, Machine learning, basic programming skills, Design Software, Analysis Software, AI, ANN, 3D printing, makes a mechanical engineer highly marketable, both in terms of corporate jobs and start-ups.

 

In a far-fetched vision, Mechanical Engineers will be the drivers of this automated world. Medi-Caps University is one such educational body, which is investing in this transition at right time. And accepting the law of change, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is constantly upgrading Syllabi, lab structure, curriculum pedagogy, and is determined to deliver education more relevant, contemporary, and skill-based. The global aspects and the socio-economic contribution of Mechanical Engineering has deep roots. The World in the coming era will need quality engineers for the betterment of the human race.

So, who all are ready for it!

Scope of Robotics and Automation Engineering

Image
  The robot is a fascinating word nowadays. Everyone heard this word either on television or in the newspaper. The application of robots is in the medical, industrial, education, military, entertainment, etc. Robotics engineering is intertwined knowledge of Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and Information and Technology engineering. A robotics engineer must possess the knowledge to develop an efficient system for the betterment of society and the environment.                    This engineering field requires creativity to curb your imagination into reality like “SOPHIA”, A social humanoid robot that can speak 38 foreign languages, including 9 Indian languages. Robotics engineering provides a good platform for students to learn the intertwine knowledge to showcase creativity to the world. A Robotic engineer has a job opportunity in the private sector. The fourth industrial revolutions, known as Industry 4.0, create demand for robotics e

Collaborative Research: An Ontological Viewpoint

Image
 Contemporary aspects of research and scientific innovations often emphasize the integration of different research realms and results in a form of research coined as collaborative research. Collaboration of technologies, views, facts, and philosophies across boundaries of a specific realm often extends the chances of innovation. Collaborative research, therefore, can be viewed as research involving coordination between the researchers, institutions, organizations belonging to different realms. The collaborative concept of research has a profound impact on modern research dimensions and due to its vitality, it results in findings that are often beyond the scope of a single researcher.       Some of the engrossing outcomes of contemporary research are collective utilization and optimization of resources, integration of diversified realms for the generation of new scientific knowledge, coalition of scientific elite, intellectual synergies, coauthored publications, the establishment of col
