Good day Experience Machines.

I am a graduate mechanical Engineer with an HND Mech Engine (Automotive) and PGD mech Engine. Currently i plan to do a masters degree but i m not too certain of the proper field to gain mastery. I have a foundation and good experience in automotive/power plants. No Manufacturing/production experience. However, i am having the feeling that Production/industrial has a much wider scope compared to power plants. I intend running a PhD in any of these fields. I need a good advice to help make a proper decision.

Please provide reasons for advising a field.

Thank you

Thermofluid/power plant is good to go....

Thanks for this. Do u have special reasons for ur advise?

Cylo117:
No, I think Thermofluid/Power Plant Engineering is the broader of the two in terms of scope. I hope you know that our everyday generators, petrol or diesel, come under this field of engineering. You also mentioned the Automotive industry too which is closely related to Thermofluid/Power Plant Engineering in terms of their similar working principles/mechanisms since engines are involved in both. Now, we do not really have manufacturing plants for such complex machines here in Nigeria, I mean where they are put together from the scratch, rather, we do have only a few assembly plants. Therefore, given our power challenge in Nigeria, I would advise you go for Thermofluid/Power Plant Engineering except you plan to practice the mighty Mechanical Engineering abroad in which case you can go Industrial/Production Engineering. Note that they are both branches of Mechanical Engineering.

Good luck!

Thank you Brother
