Once you procure the required qualifications for becoming a mechanical engineer, a myriad of options are open to you. There are multiple projects you can undertake throughout this line or work, and there are many other fields you can branch out to.

• Powertrain engineer: Powertrain engineers are engaged with the development, repair and updating current models of transportation in the automotive industry. Vehicles like Motorbikes, mopeds, electric and non – electric cars, commercialized transport, etc., This career mainly pertains towards technical and the aesthetic aspects of vehicle design and other electronic systems to guide and support the vehicle.
• Nuclear engineer: Nuclear engineers deal with providing methods to increase the overall efficiency of the reactors. They build, repair and update designs to reduce the toxicity of nuclear waste, regulating the temperature of the reactor, maintaining the flow of coolant to the chambers of the reactor. This is a very dangerous job as every step should be taken with precise measure to maintain the welfare of the power plant, the people working inside it and people living in proximate distance to the reactor.
• CAD Technicians: Computer Aided-Design, also known as CAD – creates a way to design different types of hardware and physical structures like houses, buildings, automobiles, large-scale machinery, etc. technicians are able to draw these structures in a 2D and 3D model before physically building these structures, this helps understand the proper estimate of resources, solutions to compensate for errors ahead of time.
• Armed Forces: The Armed Forces engage in a wide variety of roles for mechanical engineers, signing them up to take roles of officers and civilians. They are classified into different roles primarily offering them defensive and offensive roles. Distinctions offered vary from the positions they acquire.
