5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing

5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing 5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing Mechanical engineering already presents its share of employment possibilities, but combine it with the white-hot field of advanced manufacturing and theopportunities only widen. ASME.org looks at five job areas for MEs to consider in this expansive category. Medical Device Design and Manufacturing Healthcare is a field that will likely grow as time goes on, and medical device development and manufacturing has opportunities within it. Its not just whether you can create something but can you make sure it will meet regulations, reminds Dr. Nabil Nasr, associate provost and director of the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute of Technology. For a company like a Johnson Johnson, GE Medical, or Siemens, there are a good amount of suppliers that work with them to set up manufacturing processes and will also need expertise from the production side as well. In addi tion, many with a mind for engineering often have an interest or an aptitude for medicineheres a chance to combine both without all those years of medical school. Sustainability Manufacturing With growing demand and rising consumption in many countries around the world today, we need solutions to be environmentally conscious and for products to be disposable at the end of life. Sustainable manufacturing entwurf is extremely valuable hereif an engineer can find ways for products, even electronic games, that end up in the trash or recycled to be recovered, its huge, Nasr says. Think of the demand to do this even with small appliances. To see a product to the very endrather than just its function during usethats a different level of being a visionary.The Google driverless car.

Developed at the Rochester Institute of Technology, he says, a group called Vnomics Corp. has been able to take advantage of embedded sensors. Looking at aspects such as autonomous vehicles and advanced safety, we see mechanical engineers in this work area are in high demand, he says. The company has around 75 mechanical and electrical engineers to show for it, according to Nasr. Welding Engineer Richard Trillwood, CEO and Founder of Electron Beam Engineering, says welding engineers are in strong demand, with lasers and electron beam work among the leading areasof opportunity. Laser is expanding at a very high rate and you have to consider fusion welding as on the move as well, he says. This involves electron beam, friction, projection resistance, and mora. For someone who takes to the subject matter, there is a lot of potential. Supply Chain Strategy When it comes to the manufacturing environment, you often hear that learning how to qualify a supplier production is key, Nasr says. Here, he believes mechanical engineers can have an edge. Its how you deal with the mechanics of having a supply chain that ultimately results in getting the final product produced at the right specification, he says. Mechanical engineers have the background to hone in on problems that get in the way. Eric Butterman is an independent writer.

If you dont care to put on a suit or incur hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt but you want to make serious money, there are a few blue-collar jobs that might fit the bill. To make $100,000 or more in a blue-collar job, you might need to work for yourself, have a labor union behind you or be willing to put your safety at risk. MarketWatch produced alist of blue-collar jobs that can lead to six-figure salaries. Job titles sortimentd from police sergeant to oil rig worker. Police officersSalaries for police departments in major urban areas can sortiment from $50,000 to $116,000. New York Police Department salaries can be as high as $131,000. Sergeants typically get paid the most with sergeants salaries ranging from $105,000 to $131,000, excluding overtime which can add substantial income.Bartender Themedian salary for bartendersis $22,550 a year but the range varies widely. Bartenders at upscale locations in major cities can make more $100,000 a year.Construction managersGlassdoor.com and the Bureau of Labor Statistics both track data on this category.According to Glassdoor.com, the national average for construction managers is $77,849 with a range from $56,000 to $114,00.
