Scope of Mechanical Engineering in Next 5 Years Advancement in robotics engineering has enabled the processes to be completed more precisely with less human efforts. In such a context, the budding engineers are instilled with a fear that processes going automated may eat up their jobs and unemployment rate among the engineers will be soaring more in the coming years.
It’s a harsh reality that the employment rate among engineering is very poor in India. Still, most of the 10+2 students aim at pursuing engineering across the thousands of engineering colleges in the country. With automated processes taking over, the scope of mechanical engineering in India has remained intact as it asks for human efforts. Let’s discuss the mechanical engineering scope in next 5 years across diver industries:• Aerospace Industry – The mechanical engineers are deputed for research, designing, crafting, operation, and maintenance of the aircrafts. This industry has a vast scope for mechanical engineers with most of the job offerings from PSUs that are not only rewarding but also the future-proof. • Automobile Industry – Automobile industry is considered the goldmine of opportunities for mechanical engineers as most of them choose to nurture their career as automobile engineers. The
growth is endless across the industry with chances to settle in India as well as abroad. • Chemical Industry – Chemical plants are designed employing the intricate mechanical engineering. For manufacturing and maintenance of chemical plants, this industry hires the mechanical engineers on a very large scale. This industry definitely bids a mention when it’s about scope of mechanical engineering. • Construction Industry – Post-completion of a building, it requires to be treated mechanical for installation of heating and ventilation devices. Also, the construction equipment manufacturing units need mechanical engineers to plan, design, and maintain the equipment. • Defence Industry - Yes, you heard it right. Mechanical engineering can fulfil their dream of serving the armed forces. Their job profile includes the logistics and maintenance support for arsenal. They are provided with the complete army training to hit the ground in case of war. • Electronics Industry – Mechanical engineers in electronics industry are recruited to design and manufacture components and equipment needs for assembling of the electronic products. This industry is the ‘Mecca’ of opportunities for mechanical engineers. • Marine Industry – Marine industry has rewarding career options for the mechanical engineers. There are many machines and vessels used in marine industry to be designed and operational under the supervision of qualified mechanical engineers only. • Rail Industry – Indian Railway, one of the largest rail networks across the world, offers promising opportunities to mechanical engineers. At the railway workshops, the major responsibility of engineers is to design and maintain rail systems and components at various capacities. Final Words If you have some doubts taking admission in B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, then after reading this post, all your myths must have debunked now. Mechanical engineering is one of the most ancient yet promising fields of engineering. Not only in the next 5 years but it is not going to lose its charm for the coming decades. Go for it if machines fascinate you to know more about them.
