why people always said that engineering especially mechanical always deal with machine such as engine,etc? what i'd learn from dploma until degree level is only just a CALCULATION from 1st semester until grad.. very few i learn & deal with a machine. mechanical engineers job is not like a technician la...

it is indeed theoretical subject involves a lot maths and computation methods, and hell yes all the examination is based on calculation. However, besides that, some of the assignments and design projects are more to practical which sometimes needed you spend a whole day in workshop making your stuff using milling machine, lathe machine, CNC machine, and welding tools.. according what I saw mostly in jobstreet, company that hire a technician is only require a diploma, but engineer job must be degree holder.
