for those becoming mechanical engineers, please learn mechanics (hands on) before graduating and taking on you career. nothing worse than an educated so and so that sees themselves above others due to a school issued title when they can't apply in real life.

OIT is a VERY hands on school, this is one of the main reasons that i chose to go here over some of the other schools in the nearby area like (OSU to name one). I have had courses in welding and machining, and will have more before i graduate that in my opinion give me a better idea of how the manufacturing side of Engineering works. I also plan on getting into an internship through MECOP this upcomming year to further inhance my "curb appeal" to employers as well as get a better understanding of Mechanical Engineering in practice.
