  1. Hi I am seeking for MS at USA in Mechanical engineering and as per my interest I want to opt Thermal Fluid Systems as my specialization so, kindly please tell me what are the job opportunities as per the above and if less opportunities are there with the same then which specialization in mechanical should I go for ,considering the bright future?

  2. Please provide me the universities in USA and Australia that are best for masters in mechanical engineering specialized in Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Energy Systems? What is the scope of this program?

  3. HiĀ 
    I doing my PhD in Mineral Engineering, but my background is on Industrial Engineering. If I want to go back to Industrial Engineering in other university how can I do that.
    Please suggest

    1. Hey
      I’m fully confused about these specialisations and subjects.
      Tell me one thing…How many subjects must be taken for MS.and does those subjects which we have taken are present in our specialisation.???
      Or they belong to other.???
      Please help me..
      thanks in advance.

  4. While taking above subjects make sure that it must not be used in defence like military to great extent.CFD computational Fluid Dnamics while taking this subject be sure because very few firms can afford such fields. u may not get job in thsi field one of my friend had to come back from Ohio university.

  5. can you give the list of majors in electrical engineering and the universities offering the course.
