Hi
I don't know about most you but I find hydraulic based engineering unchallenging and unintresting. I haves designed systems,pressure vessels, pumps, and I am currently designing valve blocks.
I also don't enjoy my role as my team are treated as a drafting resource rather than an engineering resource even though we have to fix alot of the issues the projects team missed or misscalculate.
I really want to go back to designing more mechanical based kit such as gearboxes and complex machinery, I have done this on my sandwich year and really enjoyed it, has anyone managed to transition out of hydrualics and back into mechanics. If they have how did they convince employers that they could adapt to a different discipline. I am also UK based so I guess it much harder to transition back in to doing mechanics than working else where in the world.
Thanks
