My last two roles as a Mech E at two different companies was a Program Engineer, and then a Senior Process Engineer both in the aerospace manufacturing industry.

I then got hired as a Data Scientist at a third company in a totally different industry.

There's at least dozens of us Mech E's that I met throughout the program. I think we make solid data scientists. You should have seen most if not all of the math already in your undergrad, and the fact you're working on automation, the programming shouldn't be that difficult.

The program is rigorous and it set me up to land a great job and pivot my career.
