For the jobs Mechanical Engineers have...does the knowledge have to stay forever?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>So I was thinking as Mechanical Engineers, what kind of jobs do we get?</p>

<p>My second question is - should the knowledge we learn today stick around till we want to be employed?</p>

<p>Mechanics questions do seep in, but there are things like adiabatic, isochoric curves that I need to learn again and again for tests.</p>

<p>So, what kind of jobs do we get and what do we need to know for the jobs we will have? I know it’s quite varying but is there some sort of general consensus on this matter?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m not a mechanical engineer but…</p>

<p>you should understand the material you learn now. If you don’t remember every single detail, that’s fine, because you can always reference your textbooks later on. Nobody expects you to be a human encyclopedia. As long as you understand the material, it’ll come right back when you encounter it again later on.</p>
