How to increase job skills in Mechanical Engineering?

We do have the option of Production, manufacturing, quality inspection, Designing, Automobiles, Maintenance, Research, thermodynamics and Calibration in Mechanical Engineering.

Most of these books deliver the theoretical aspect of the subjects. 

I know we also have some practicals to perform in every subject but doing this limited to our lab capabilities. 

As per the past employment survey, only 2 out of 10 engineering student able to get a job. (Except the chams like startups and business property holders)

You were well aware of our current educational system scenario. If we talk about the engineering education system, we roughly have 45 subjects to learn by the meaningful books. 

Let’s try to understand the present Mechanical engineering scenario.

We do have the option of Production, manufacturing, quality inspection, Designing, Automobiles, thermodynamics and Calibration field. 

But every field requires a unique skill, for example, if you are interested in the field of Engineering design you should have to know knowledge of GD & T and designing software like AutoCAD, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, PRO-E.

The same engineering applied to other fields also like for Calibration Engineer you should know how instruments works, Standards and relevant parameters. 

Let me provide you with a list of skills in every Mechanical Engineering field.
