With many career opportunities and courses, mechanical engineering is one of the most sought-after engineering courses for students from all over the globe.
Did you know?
3,00,000+ Nepalese students are studying abroad, out of which over 20% of them have chosen to study an engineering course.
Unlike other courses, the benefits of studying mechanical engineering overseas are umpteen and a career in mechanical engineering provides you with an option to land a multi-dimensional career to ideate, design, and manufacture products that we use every day. On a larger scale, you might get an opportunity to contribute to your country's economic and scientific development by preferring to work for space stations and R&D (railways, aerospace, and defense). If you are interested in studying mechanical engineering abroad, this guide will help you clear all your mechanical engineering queries.
Having been known as the oldest engineering branch, mechanical engineering involves studying material science and principles of Physics for design, analysis, maintenance and manufacturing of a wide range of mechanical systems. Besides, it also includes learning the application of mechanical and thermal power to design and operate tools and machines.
The demand for mechanical engineering graduates is on the rise and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Almost 70% of graduates studying mechanical engineering abroad land a job within 6 months of their graduation. Soon after completing the bachelor's degree, Nepalese students can study a masters program in mechanical engineering with scholarships offered by public and private universities. In order to uplift your career and to step into a managerial role, a PhD degree in mechanical engineering (domain-specific to thermodynamics, Aerospace, Automotive and composites) will help you attain the career goals.
The following are the 5 best countries to study a bachelors or masters in mechanical engineering:
Australia is known for its prestigious world-class institutions, and Australian qualifications are recognised worldwide. When it comes to studying mechanical engineering in Australia, an association (Engineers Australia Association) is responsible for delivering a high-quality curriculum to create highly competent and skilled mechanical engineers. Besides, Nepalese students completing their mechanical engineering course in Australia can become a part of the Engineers Australia Association, which offers them a multitude of research opportunities to stomp their foot into a global working environment.
The USA is well known for its cutting edge industrial engineering research universities. Whether you want to experience accessing unique mechanical devices or be taught by mechanical engineering researchers, studying in the USA is ideal for studying a mechanical engineering course. For instance, some universities in the USA constantly conduct top-notch research in biomedical systems, sustainability and infrastructures, advanced manufacturing and materials, homeland security, and defense.
Over 40+ universities offer masters programs in Mechanical Engineering. Though the cost of studying a mechanical engineer course in UK is exceptionally high, many private universities offer scholarships for Nepalese students in the UK that cover over 45% of tuition fees. Besides, getting an accredited mechanical degree from the UK can help you become a Chartered Engineer (Chartered Engineers is responsible for bringing up solutions to engineering issues using existing or new technologies through innovation. They are also accountable for complex technical systems with lower levels of risk).
With over 60 institutions and 200 mechanical engineering courses, Canada welcomes Nepalese students year after year to pursue bachelors and masters in mechanical engineering. The Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering in Canada is a constituent society of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) that promotes technology and communication between industries, R&D laboratories and universities. The CSME also acts as a platform for Mechanical Engineering experts to exchange information and discuss research challenges. The CSME offers a wide range of career development activities for mechanical engineering students, including conferences, lectures and seminars.
Though there are only a handful of universities in New Zealand, they are ranked best for mechanical engineering courses. The cost of pursuing a masters in mechanical engineering in New Zealand ranges between 38,000- 55,000 NZD. Nepalese students are also offered scholarships to cut down their study expenses for bachelors, masters or PhD courses. Students graduating from New Zealand universities land on top-notch technology research organisations such as Boeing and Apple. The New Zealand government's plan to invest over 120 billion NZD in their capital projects from 2019 to 2029 has increased the demand for mechanical engineering in New Zealand.
