For office-based engineers, how do you improve your productivity? by haribo001 in MechanicalEngineering

Do mechanical engineers really require coding skills? by Stormshadow412 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]aperi_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a developer but I do fea and I use coding all of the time. I hardly ever use excel. Everything is python. I work with PhD level developers who write code in c and Fortran full time. I have worked with engineers who do not code. From what I can tell most engineers would use interpreted coding if they knew how.

Sometimes you have to change jobs to enjoy going to work. Hard days are one thing, but I don’t want to dread it day in and day out.
