Another thing is that mechanical engineers are the back
bone of any core company. Wherever there is a machine, there will be a mechanical engineer.Another thing never tell them that you want higher studies. I answered," I have a rough idea related to technology during my 4 years course. Now I just want 2 explore that are the practical applications of those theoretical knowledge"
