Mechanical Engineering Career Positioning
​
In the mechanical engineering careers triangle, I will position myself close to the application side of the triangle. I know that my passion is not in conducting pure research or running a business, Therefore, I want to work in a manufacturing company as a design engineer or manufacturing engineer. The engineering consulting industry could be anther suitable alternative as I have intermediate knowledge on business and theoretical knowledges.
