Mechanical Engineering

For the past year, I really dun have the feeling that I am going to be a Mechanical Engineer. But today, I finally felt that I am studying ME. I had a lab session today where we had to study different parts of a gear box. I finally understand what are shaft, gear, bearing, key and so on. The instructor wanted us to be independent, so we disassembled and assembled the gear box by ourselves under his supervision. We measured the parts, learned the functions and sketched diagrams. My hands was greasy after the experiment, but I was satisfied. I finally experienced what mechanical engineering is about.
