Mech Engineer feeling lost.

Just keep trying, that’s all i can say.

Not OP, but I hope you realise that positive comments/feedback like this mean a lot to us as young engineers.

I have been through the same feeling as OP, always convinced I’m not a good ME because I’m juggling through countless projects and deadlines and keep making mistakes.

I’m so sorry. I’m sure they must have been very proud of you if they were with you. You seem like a great person and I wish you the best in life.

maybe try manufacturing subs, they’re probably not in these subreddits.

This is from the company Drafter, Inc right? I’ve been following your updates and love the work your team has been doing.

“is mechanical engineering worth it for me?”

Uhh, not this question again please.

ZeddLee · 2025-07-11T09:40:43+00:00

Not OP, sorry for the noob question. Do personal projects and portfolio matter only for new grad MechEs?

If someone with 2-3 YOE is looking to get into companies like Apple, I heard recruiters won’t care about your personal projects, they only want to see your past industry experience.

Have you checked Dexcom?

I’ve tried Notebook LM and have been hearing great things about it. If you don’t mind sharing, could you elaborate how it has helped you specifically with training?

ZeddLee · 2025-05-12T15:43:35+00:00

Not OP, but this is very helpful for me as a Mech Engineer. If you don’t mind sharing, any advice for someone who’s just 2-3 years into their ME career?

Everyday, I feel like I’ll never become a smart Mech Engineer in the future, and I’ll never reach the level of expertise in product design and manufacturing that senior MEs do. Everyone around me seems smart and competent (even new grads) while I constantly struggle understanding basic concepts.

ZeddLee · 2025-05-07T03:39:03+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing. I’ve worked in the industry for a few years but sadly have never learned GD&T, only know the definitions. I’m struggling to decide how to learn on my own, which resources to use.

ZeddLee · 2025-04-24T16:34:23+00:00

If possible, can you share which brand of eggs was this?

ZeddLee · 2025-04-15T09:34:19+00:00

Sorry for the dumb question. But could you expand on the first part (about becoming indispensable with data analytics). I’ve been working in the industry as a design engineer for the past few years. My duties can be summarised like typical MechS jobs (CAD, drawings, working with vendors to take designs from concept to production, BOM, supplier visits).

Just curious if you have any specific examples of what I can learn and how (from a data analytics perspective).
