Mechanical engineering - one of the oldest branches of engineering in the world - has come a long way over the last 20 years. The way companies design, manufacture, and assemble a machine (product) continues to evolve, with computer-aided designs, computer numerical control machines and robotics playing a bigger part than ever. You not only need a sound knowledge of engineering, materials, and physics but also the ability to work with computers.
Every year, roughly 300,000 mechanical engineers graduate in India, and they have to make a tough decision whether to find a job, prepare for GATE or IAS, or do their masters. For those who love engineering and want to enhance their professional skills and knowledge, here are the best master's courses, which are in high demand globally.
