Excited to dive into hands-on work with a lathe machine! 💪🔧 As a mechanical engineering student, getting the opportunity to operate and learn from this essential tool is invaluable. From precision turning to crafting intricate parts, every moment at the lathe is a chance to hone my skills and deepen my understanding of manufacturing processes. Grateful for the hands-on experience shaping my engineering journey! #MechanicalEngineering #HandsOnLearning #LatheMachine

Fundamentals of BIW workshop class

Patrick Sprague is getting his Associate of Engineering, pursuing Mechanical Engineering at ECU, and is graduating from PCC this week! 🎓 He says "When I was a child, I didn't play with toys as most would. When others would use their imagination and play pretend with cars or dolls, l would take the toys apart and put them back together. I was more interested in how everything functioned to make the toy work. My interest in reverse engineering continued into high school shop classes and design. They were my favorite classes in school, and truthfully the only classes I enjoyed. I fell into the category of students that thought school was a waste of time and energy. It was a miracle I was convinced to go to community college. ⚙️ My first degree is in Automotive technology. In two years, I earned an associates and left college as a master certified automotive technician. I worked at a car dealership for three years, mainly fixing electrical and engine related problems. I loved it, as it was similar to the toys I played with as a child just more expensive). I would take the cars apart and put them back together to work the same way they had come out of the factory. 🚗 This continued to my next job at a factory working as a maintenance technician. I would diagnose and fix printing presses. Watching and learning all the different parts of the press, and how they all worked together sparked something in me. I wanted more than to just fix machines. I wanted to MAKE the machines. That is when the idea of becoming an engineer came to me. But that meant I would need to go to school for four years, and I hated school. Something in me knew I had to at least try, or l would regret it for the rest of my life. 🏗️ I started at Pitt Community College, because I saw it as an affordable way to get my associate degree in engineering. It also allowed me to take a few classes to decide if my desired career path was one, I would be interested in. Now, two years later with an associate degree and acceptance into ECU, I can honestly say that I enjoy school. My mindset changed from "I'm not smart enough" to "I can do anything I set my mind to". ⭐ My favorite hobby is woodworking. It allows me to be creative in design and create something with my hands. I also enjoy reading books while out camping. 🔨🍃 The classes are smaller than at a university, which allowed me to ask plenty of questions when I’d understand something (which happens a lot). All the professors are willing to bend over backward help their students, which is another thing you might not see at universities. Ask for help, no one is born knowing how to calculate internal forces of an object or Einstein's theory of relativity. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed. If I let that feeling control me, I would have given up two years ago and every day since.🏛️ Best of luck in your future Patrick! #pittcc #graduate #engineering

Do you get fascinated by the bikes 🚵♀️ & cars 🚘 on the road? Have you ever filled your notebooks with the drawings of cars? Would you like to have a career that integrates art with engineering? If Yes, you should consider a career in Automobile engineering. ✅ Automobile engineering applies engineering principles in overall design, maintenance, safety & functionalities of automobiles. ✅ They often concentrate on the areas of design engineering, development engineering & manufacturing engineering. ✅ As an automobile engineer one should be creative, innovative & should have a good understanding of the technicality of operation of a vehicle. ✅ They design both interiors & exteriors of cars, trucks, buses, two & three wheeler’s keeping in mind the visual appeal as well as the functionality. 📚🎓🏫Education Required: ✅Students can do 12th Math. Followed by B.E/B.Tech in Automobile Engineering, followed by M.E/M.Tech in Automobile Engineering. ✅ Students can do 12th (Any stream). Followed by B.Design in transportation Design, and then M.Design in Transportation Design. ℹ️📚🔍For more information on Automobile Engineering, click the link provided in first comments below. ☑️📝To check your suitability for Automobile Engineering, “One Career SUITABILITY CHECK” link provided in 2nd comments below. (report will be available on payment of ₹199). 👍Like this post, for the insights you got, also 📝💬Comment with your thoughts, suggestions, questions below, I would read & reply to them.

This semester I had the opportunity to complete two projects for my Mechanical Design and Mechatronics classes

I was the lead Manufacturing Engineer over the mechanical design of the Blue Bird Conventional Chassis. Blue Bird started making school buses about the time of the model T. They would buy chassis from Ford, GM, International, whoever would sell them one. They tried to come up with their own chassis multiple times. I was drafted out of International to do this. I wrote the AFE for the chassis line. It wasn't that much. I think it was $1.72M. I interacted with product engineering on all of the mechanical part of the design and together we came up with a good chassis. Manufacturing engineers were assigned to help me. We came up with a good chassis line. The only direction I was given was to provide the "vision" for the chassis. I did much more. Now the school bus market is in recession. People are scrambling to position themselves. I was assigned to build a chassis line for their flat nose buses for $125K. I collected every piece of steel on the property, figured out about what I could build with that, hired a structural engineer to speck out overhead bridge cranes, jibs, etc. with the stipulation that he make the most use of my pile of scrap. I used a lot of internal labor. Very talented people who were familiar with the operation. I designed most of the rest and they fabricated it for me. The suspension expert in product engineering wanted to build the chassis upside down until the suspension is put on and then flip it over. Not incumbent upon me to provide a flip over rig. I've worked w/ product engineering enough that I tend to accommodate good ideas. flip over rig was obviously out of my budget. So, what's a person to do? I'm a scavenger by now. I noticed that the laser bed was run 24/7 basically and they had extra capacity. I suspect the 1/4 plate was on some kind of Reorder point strategy so it just kept showing up not on my budget. I knew what I was about to do would work for a while but would tear itself apart pretty quick. Unrealistic to design and build a solid piece of equipment in the time frame and budget allowed. My 3rd boss there was not the sharpest tack in the drawer nor was he a polite man. I think he was the knuckle head who wrote an AFE for $125,000 school bus chassis line and then proceeded to shove it down my throat. So, I talked him into the rig. I was like now the fun begins. I used AutoCAD. I built a chassis turnover rig primarily out of lasered and laminated by welding 1/4 plate. For instance I designed a 8' dia 1/2 sprocket 6" thick after lamination for the thing to turnover on. The track it turned over on was the shape of a straightened out chain where it met the sprocket. I had arms made out of I-beam that reached out with hydraulics and grabbed the chassis. Then the contraption would roll over thus flipping the chassis. It worked for a while. The best way to get rid of a manager is to do exactly what they say. They are still using that line but with a proper turn over rig last I heard.
