How to learn *Mechanical Design

First, one must learn to read drawings, and then learn drawing techniques as well as some principles of mechanics.

One needs to learn* how to read and draw diagrams, the principles of mechanical design, tolerances and fits, as well as the principles of machining, and also do plenty of practice.

Theoretical mechanics and material mechanics are also essential; in addition, one can learn from peers*.

Thank you to all the dedicated teachers; I will definitely work hard to study and strive to become an engineer

Basic courses: Mechanical Drawing, Fundamentals of Mechanical Design, Metal Materials and Heat Treatment, Engineering Mechanics, supplemented by necessary practical training

First, one needs to learn some basic mechanical knowledge, then look at other people’s design works more often and learn to imitate them first

Mechanical design involves the design of machines and mechanisms; simply by having more exposure to equipment used in production, one gains the necessary knowledge for design.

Mechanical design requires different background knowledge depending on the industry. In addition to basic skills in drawing, reading drawings, and mechanical design, it is necessary to understand the specific requirements of each field; only by knowing these functional requirements can good products be designed. Practical experience in designing helps to gain expertise over time.

I’d like to share my experiences and opinions as well. Let me start by talking about my own experience. I studied mechanical design at university, and after graduating I began working for a foreign company. I believe that to be an excellent mechanical engineer, it is necessary to combine theory with practice. In college, teachers taught everything related to mechanics: design, manufacturing, heat treatment, drawing… but there was little practical training; the focus was mainly on theory. It is only when starting work after graduation that there are opportunities for practice, and it is then that one truly gains a deep understanding of what was learned in school. If the original poster studied mechanical engineering at school, then they should gain more practical experience at work, spend more time in the workshops, ask experienced workers for advice, and get their hands dirty doing practical tasks. If the original poster has no foundation, they should first buy two books on the basics of mechanical design to learn from, and then move on to practice once they have the theoretical knowledge. Finally, there's time to learn English. The original poster can add me as a friend so we can communicate.

My situation is similar to the original poster’s; I majored in automobile manufacturing, but by chance I ended up working at a lubrication equipment factory. My role is in the production department, where I’m responsible for creating production plans and spending my time reviewing drawings related to production. I really want to work in the technical department, but unfortunately I don’t have the opportunity. Hehe. However, in my free time I often draw my own drawings. I think it would be better to work in a technical role later on, as having spent time in production gives me a foundation

First, you need to be interested, and practice more while observing more. Gather a large amount of information to broaden one’s knowledge.

Buy a book on mechanical principles and mechanical design, study it systematically, and add some practical application exercises, and that should be sufficient

In my opinion, to do mechanical design well, one must first understand machining, as there are many methods for processing a part. The precision that can be achieved with each type of processing is also different! If you start learning from the basics, it will be easier and more logical to understand machining first and then move on to design, rather than starting with drawing right from the beginning!

Combining theory with practice is essential; it’s definitely not enough to focus on just one aspect, as design requires a broad range of knowledge. . Go for it~~~

First, one needs to learn how to read drawings and understand what is depicted in them. Drawing by following someone else’s prepared blueprint. Just by looking at some of the standard drawing methods in his pictures. I feel that when drawing a mechanical diagram, everything depicted in it must meet its standards. That is, whenever something is drawn, its standard must be checked, and it should be drawn in accordance with that standard.

One must learn to *read and draw diagrams, and know how to express what’s in one’s mind! It is also necessary to understand the principles of mechanical design, tolerances and fits, as well as machining principles, and to practice a lot. This requires basic knowledge of mechanics!

How do I add them as friends? I also want to communicate with everyone; I really need everyone’s experience

Mechanical design is highly practical; it’s not as easy to learn on one’s own as liberal arts subjects.
