Hi all
I am a new user to this forum, and also new to design engineering. My background is 15 years sheetmetal work experience and over 1 year autocad, I am due to graduate with a hnc in Mechanical engineering. I am using autocad 2012 and occasional use of solidworks, i am studying towards the cswa exam
Any advice on how to be successful and what to expect in this industry would be greatly recieved.
Thank you in advance

Just curious - what is a "hnc", and a "cswa" exam?
What industry are you considering? Mechanical engineers are probably the most widely diverse of any engineering discipline - manufacturing, consulting, government, infrastructure, ...

HNC = Higher National Certificate. Not sure what the 'Mericun equivalent would be. It's sort of, half a degree.
CSWA = Certified Solid Works Associate. If that the right CSWA. Not sure what that entails though; I've never done it.

From my 40 years of successful engineering practice before retiring I would strongly recommend you follow each and everyone of Pinkerton's recommendations for having a successful career. My father's mentra for success was "You earn your salary in the first 8 hours and your success after that"; and that is from a man with only a high school diploma from a small town in Oklahoma who started as a millk route delivery man became the Borden Corporation, Dairy Div. 8 state Southern division Personnel Manager and Training Director.
Also, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your initiative and hard work to further your education as a route to success. That initative alone recommends you well and is a strong first step toward your goal.
