The conversation between human and AI assistant.
I'm a mechanical engineering student. What skills should I possess after completing my B.Tech?
No, that's fine. What about materials science and manufacturing processes? Can you explain those more?
Materials science is the study of the properties and behavior of materials, such as metals, ceramics, and plastics. As a mechanical engineer, having a strong understanding of these properties is crucial when selecting materials for specific applications. Manufacturing processes, on the other hand, involve turning raw materials into the finished products. Familiarity with different manufacturing processes helps mechanical engineers design parts that can be produced efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Some common manufacturing processes include casting, forging, and machining. Does that help answer your question?
